THE BEST JUST GOT BETTER.

Our Pioneer 1000-5 Deluxe has always been king of the hill when it comes to versatility, value, features and performance, but for 2026 it's all new, feature rich, and loaded with innovation. Updates include new drive modes, a new throttle-by-wire system that enables smoother shifting, better throttle response, variable speed limiter, cruise control, and a speed-limiter “key.” Plus, there are new Honda Pro-Connect mounting points in the bed, more underseat storage, even better Electric Power Steering–and we're just getting started! One drive, and you'll see why this is the best SxS in its class.

HIGHLIGHTS:

MORE POWERFUL 999cc TWIN-CYLINDER ENGINE
With plenty of power–especially in the midrange and top end–you'll experience quick acceleration and exceptional overall performance. The Pioneer 1000-5's new throttle-by-wire (TBW) system enables a whole host of improvements. What you'll notice first, though, is how smooth the shifts are now.

IMPROVED EPS
Our Electric Power Steering (EPS) motor has 50-percent more torque now, and is tuned to improve driver comfort, especially when you're loaded with passengers and cargo. You also get a more consistent steering effort when operating over rocky terrain or deep mud.

SOPHISTICATED CHASSIS
Some of the most impressive features are those you'll never see. In addition to the suspension and ground clearance, we rubber-mounted the engine and exhaust system to help insulate the cabin against vibration.

ADVANCED TRANS LOGIC
The DCT's advanced transmission logic system senses your driving and adapts. Relaxed drivers get earlier shifts for a quieter ride. Sportier drivers get each gear held longer for higher rpm shifts. And you get real engine braking when going downhill.

1000-POUND-CAPACITY TILT BED
One of the most impressive features of this vehicle is its half-ton hauling capacity. Additionally, we've made it easier to dump with a hydraulic assist tilt bed lever.

NEW CONNECTED DOOR NETS
Honda is all about safety, and our new connected door nets make safer operation easier and more hassle-free than ever. Now there's no need to clip or unclip a door-net buckle when you open or close the front doors.

INTERIOR
Major changes to the interior include a new instrument panel, and way more comfort, thanks to better sealing and isolation from engine heat.
