New Honda Pioneer 1000-6 Deluxe Crew

Honda made a bit of a surprise announcement with the introduction of a brand new model with the Pioneer 1000-6 Deluxe Crew. At first glance it is everything one would expect it to be including all the capabilities of the Pioneer 1000 with room for 6. That is a solid assumption which turns out to be pretty darn accurate. Unlike the Pioneer 1000-5, the Pioneer 1000-6 Deluxe Crew has a full size second row of seats in addition to the rear cargo bed. There are a handful of additional features not seen on a Pioneer 1000 previously such as the obvious room for six, a Tow/Haul mode, a cargo bed DC outlet, Here is what you want to know.

Our Thoughts

Though this model is a bit of a surprise, it makes perfect sense in the big picture of the Pioneer lineup. While the Pioneer 1000-5 embodies innovativeness with the rear seats folding into the cargo bed, this feature doesn’t make for all-day super comfy seats or vast amounts of leg room. The Pioneer 1000-6 Deluxe Crew then gives an option which offers the best of both passenger comfort in addition to a full-size cargo bed. The Pioneer 1000-6 Deluxe Crew model just makes sense in the Honda lineup, particularly with so many rec/utility side-by-sides on the market that offer both full size rear seats and a full size cargo bed. Choices are good and Honda now offers more of those whether you hunt, work, trail ride, or anything in between.

MSRP- Red & Olive $21,899, Honda Phantom Camo $22,699
