Honda Pioneer 1000-5 - more payload than a Tundra

Sweet!! We almost went with the white but a red one was scheduled to be delivered earlier! Looks awesome! Have you put more than 6 miles on yours?

 

Lmao haven’t been able to get it to a terrain park or trails yet. I got it 12/21. It has seen some mean christmas light runs. Got cold until The super atv flip up windshield came in. I got lucky and bought this one the day it came on the dealers lot. The wife wanted a white one anyways so works out. The dealer didn’t have time to put it on the website. Luckily it’s bone stock so I can order all the mods I want. I ordered the Honda roof with it but told them to keep it for now and credit me. I think I’m going to get a ranch armor roof since I have a family of 5 and want a place to Mount and put stuff. Plus it can hold my weight to shoot off. I had heard some people having fitting issues with the ranch armor. Since the Superatv windshield I also added a plug n play street legal turn kit and winch. Next up is roof and stereo. I went with the 5 year warranty for 1700 cause my buddy has a shop for UTVs and says Hondas are reliable but every few can have a bad O ring and you have to take apart the transmission to get to it. What have you done to yours and do you like the Honda roof? Agreed that modding these things is as much as a damn truck and more shit to put on

 

Btw you really really appreciate tundras.com layout and functionality after joining Hondasxs forum. That layout and spam is ridiculous

 

Love it. We’ve had it for about 7 hours so we haven’t done a thing! It came off the truck this morning and was on our trailer at 3:15 this afternoon.

The Honda roof snapped on in about 5 minutes - I’m scared they told me they didn’t have time to put it on and made me haul it home in the back of my truck. On our 3 minute test drive it seemed fine - no noise or shaking.

I also opted for the extended warranty - I didn’t get one for my truck but know I’ll feel better beating it on the trail knowing it’s covered for 5 years.

My mod list is windshield, bed extender, and a street legal kit for now. Do you mind linking the kit you used if you recommend using it?

 

Sure. I haven’t used it or wired it yet. Plan on doing so this weekend. I’ll send you the link. I heard stay away from Amazon. There’s one that’s a 6 week lead time and this one is from Hondasxs forum shop. He’s got a discount code I’ll find it in my email.

 

Warranty is a good move just cause like I said it’s not a toyota and the 4 years is after the first year. Plus the o ring replacement is 2250 in labor alone.

use code HONDASXS10

 

I also ordered some side view mirrors on Amazon for 30 bucks. Had to modify the passenger clip with a dremel cause of the oh shit passenger handle

 

Wait... I thought a chest and a rack were the same thing and now I am confused and aroused.

 

So I decided to do a little reading before I ordered this and I’m glad I did - since I live in the Wild West I don’t need turn signals to be street legal - just a mirror and a horn. Ordered those parts from Honda for a little less than the cost of the kit.

 

Bad thing is, a lot of people don't know wtf hand signals are, they think you're waving at them. Might be safer to have turn signals...even for off-road

 

Your first few words are definately applaudable, however since you became aroused please give yourself a hand this time!

 

Nice ride!

 

Don't forget what's the clunk noise when you first take off.

 

I saw you admiring my beauty marks on the trail.
I don’t even know what this mean bush is called, but down at empire ranch they will mess you up!

 

Great sxs! I’ve had my pioneer 1k since 2017 and not one hiccup

 

Well shucks, ours is usually a lot cooler than that. I am a little jealous.

 

You weren’t lying.

 

Man you didn’t waste any time hitting the trails! Looks awesome! I’m jealous…

 

It’s a Mesquite bush

 

It was way more Cynical than a mesquite

 

Definitely Mesquite. My dad has a pasture full of it. Great firewood and great for BBQ

 

I did some digging, it’s actually a white thorn acacia.

but I will agree, mesquite is great for grilling and firewood!

 

I don't know @AZBoatHauler , all this talk about payloads and such, yet not a single payload sticker post or request. Can't be real without it, at least that's my take away from the 2022 Tundra posts.

I stand corrected.

Your response sent me down the Acacia rabbit hole and I found this species in Africa:

 

Ah, the African F**k You Bush.

 

Fair enough. It is real - and not that close. The Honda sxs throws up Power Wagon payload numbers.


1,649lbs for the 999cc Honda.


1,190lbs for my CM Limited 4x4 Tundra.

 

It's nice in the winter time.

Summers aren't quite so nice.
