Welcome to the side-by-side everybody’s been waiting for: the Honda Pioneer 1000-6 Deluxe Crew. It’s the side-by-side built for the biggest jobs, because it lets you carry the biggest payloads – six passengers along with a full-size tilt bed, over 1100 kilos of towing capacity, under seat storage, and much more.
This side-by-side has a full-sized crew-cab-style back seat with massive leg and foot room for rear passengers, including the center seat positioned forward to avoid bumping shoulders with other passengers. The front row offers a tilting steering wheel making it super easy to get in and out, even while wearing heavy work gear.
The Pioneer 1000-6 Deluxe Crew is loaded with plenty of other Honda features too: Automatic Dual-Clutch Transmission (DCT) with an i-4WD system offering 2WD, 4WD and Differential Lock, a high/low sub-transmission and self-levelling rear suspension.
And of course, nobody can match Honda's reputation for reliability and build quality. So go ahead – bring the whole crew, and all their gear. It’s easy with a Honda Pioneer 1000-6 Deluxe Crew.
This is a Pioneer 1000-6 Deluxe Crew breakthrough. When you load up the bed and the cab of any vehicle, it begins to sag down on the springs. But with our auto-levelling system, when you take off driving, as the shock compresses and extends, it automatically pumps you back up to a level ride. Best of all, you don't have to do a thing. It’s all automatic, and there’s no electronics involved. You maintain ground clearance, comfort and handling, without compromises.
Features
Seating Capacity For Six
If there’s one feature that distinguishes the Pioneer 1000-6 Deluxe Crew it’s this: the full-sized crew-cab-style back seat. There’s a massive amount of leg and foot room for the rear passengers, and the centre seat in the rear is set a little forward, so you don't bump shoulders with the passengers next to you.
Independent Suspension Front & Rear
Dual A-arm suspension gives you 10.5-inches of travel in the front, and 10-inches of travel in the rear. Pair that with stellar ground clearance, and you maximise available traction and superior comfort manoeuvring over terrain other side-by-sides would shy away from.
Electronic Power Steering (EPS)
Our Honda Electric Power Steering has always been a groundbreaking innovation, and the Pioneer 1000-6 Deluxe Crew gets our new, next-generation brushless motor unit with a return-to-centre function. With 50-percent more assist than on our 2022 Pioneer 1000 models, it’s a great asset when all six seats are filled and carrying cargo. As always, there are no belts or pumps to slip, break or leak. It’s a “smart” system too - you get more assistance when you need it, and less when you don't.
Passenger Protection
Staying safe is essential, both at work and when having fun. That’s why the Pioneer 1000-6 Deluxe Crew is equipped with an Occupant Protection Structure, using large-diameter tubing and meeting the ISO rollover protection standard. And in the cabin, integrated handrails, recessed top tubes, and automotive-style three-point seatbelts with emergency locking retractors help keep passengers securely in place.
Powerful 999cc Twin-Cylinder Engine
A 999cc liquid-cooled inline twin engine with the same Unicam cylinder head design found in our world leading motocross bikes. It also features electronic fuel injection so you know your SxS will be up for any farm task you require.
Rubber Mounted Engine & Exhaust
Some of the most impressive Pioneer 1000 features are those you'll never see. In addition to the suspension and ground clearance, we rubber-mounted the engine and exhaust system to insulate the cabin against excessive vibration. So while you may not see this feature, it’s one you will definitely notice.
Steering Column-Mounted Paddle Shifters
Steering column-mounted paddle shifters add a serious dose of performance in every drive. In Manual mode, they let you shift without ever taking your hands off the wheel, and in Automatic mode, they let you override the current gear with a quick up or downshift, holding that gear for several seconds before returning to Automatic mode.
High/Low Sub-Transmission
Heavy duty four-wheel-drive trucks have a high/low transfer case, and that’s why we gave the Pioneer 1000-6 Deluxe Crew a high/low subtransmission. High is for normal use, but low range lets you tackle really tough trail sections and technical terrain features, multiplying available torque and helping you navigate at lower speeds.
Turf Mode/2WD/4WD/Diff Lock
Don't tear up sensitive surfaces. Select Turf Mode. If you want to access as much traction as possible, put it in 4WD. Need maximum power at all four wheels? Lock the front and rear differentials. And the best part is, you can do it all with a shift of a single lever.
Longitudinally Mounted Engine
By orienting the crankshaft front to back in the chassis in our side-by-side engines, we route the flow of power straight to the wheels without any unnecessary right-angle detours, reducing powertrain friction and putting more grunt to the ground.
Pre-wired for Accessories
We’ve pre-wired our Pioneer 1000-6 Deluxe Crew for accessory switches, so you don't have to run a lot of extra wiring. For things like a winch alone, it slashes installation time as well as making the installation easier and cleaner. We've even included an extra, integrated grounding terminal
A Breath of Fresh Air
To get the most out of your engine, you need the best air going into it. That’s why we positioned the air intake up high under the hood. It helps ensure a clean air supply, even at deeper fording depths, and with a new viscous air filter element, you get increased performance and longer service intervals.
1100kg+ Towing Capacity
Have a big load to haul? The Pioneer 1000-6 Deluxe Crew offers 1134kgs of towing capacity, along with the full cargo bed. So now instead of hopping on the tractor or taking out the truck, you can stay right in your side-by-side and tackle those bigger jobs with relative ease.
450kg+ Tilt/Dump Bed
There are a ton of reasons to buy a Pioneer 1000-6 Deluxe Crew. Among them the 453kg hauling capacity. And when it comes to dumping, we've made it easier than ever, with a hydraulic assist tilt bed lever.
Best in Class Comfort and Cabin Space
The new Pioneer 1000-6 Deluxe Crew doesn't just carry more people, it carries them in unmatched comfort. That’s because of all the legroom front and rear, the staggered rear-centre seat, the tilt steering wheel, the plus seating, the best-in-class shoulder room, and so much more.
Fully-Automatic Six-Speed DCT Transmission
Drive the way you want, with the industry’s first and only six-speed Dual-Clutch Transmission. Choose between manual mode or fully automatic. There’s even a new easy-to-use tow/haul mode, along with 2WD, 4WD, Differential Lock and Turf selections.
