Honda pioneer 1000-5 5 year review! HONDA PIONEER 1000-5

[@dalewalker2379]

Your exactly right about the cabin heat. My Rex has a lot of heat. Will be hot in the summer, but very nice during hunting season. I guess it's a trade off. Storm blew a huge walnut tree down in my yard the other day and I cut the main trunk into about 7 foot logs. It was as big around as my Rex's 30x10x14 tire and it pulled the logs great. It all boils down to.....use your machine, but take care of your machine. Good video and have a great season this year!

[@pineylife]

You are absolutely correct on maintaining and using your machine properly. Hate to hear that about the storms. We took a hit hard on the deer lease during the same storm. . Lost several ladders and tree stands. Took 4 afternoons after work to clear the trails. Still have a lot to clear before season. God luck to you to brother. Looking forward to this season.

[@DuckbumSD]

You sure did say you weren’t gonna do it , but I’m glad you did 😂👍

[@pineylife]

Lol. I sure did and didn't plan on doing another review but with people requesting it. I guess I will be doing one every year Now. Thank you for the comment and watching.

[@DuckbumSD]

@@pineylife I love it keep ‘em coming, gonna watch your accessories video later today, trying to buy a 22 currently 👍

[@ItsBigBoy79]

Great video. Looking at long term reliability. Biggest issue with side by sides is everyone over mods them. Most of us, looking for reliability and long term cost of ownership, really appreciate this video. I don’t buy a tool just to throw aftermarket mods on it.

[@pineylife]

Thank you. You can’t beat a Honda. Reliable as they come. Your welcome and thanks for watching.

[@WarrenMalark]

I like your review. I would ie to see 6 yr review

[@pineylife]

Thank you. I really appreciate it. I will be happy to continue the yearly review.

[@ronjohn11x]

Just got me a 2023 Pioneer 1000~5 phantom Camo and so far best purchase ever! This was a great video! Definitely solidified my Honda purchase. For the price and reliability just can’t beat a Honda. Definitely looking forward to a six year review.

[@pineylife]

Congratulations on your purchase. I am so glad that you have enjoyed the videos and they helped in your decision. Its comments like this that make all the videos worth doing. I will be doing a six year review for sure now. thank you for watching

Another good review, my friend. I'm glad you decided to do the 5-year review after all. I'm praying that all is well with you and your family

I have a 2018 1000-5. I use it for the same reasons you do. I’m up in Southern NY state and I love my machine. I will be considering the trail edition in a couple of years. I haven’t had any issues with mine. I also have a 2023 Polaris sportsmen 1000 trail edition and I have issues with overheating because the radiator is so hard to clean. Been in the shop twice already. I’ll stick with my Honda!

[@pineylife]

Hello in New York. Can’t beat a pioneer for reliability. I love mine and might by a 6 seater down the road if my family keeps growing. Lol. Need room for all these grand babies. Thanks for commenting and watching

[@leftyjoe4957]

I have the 2023 pioneer 1000-5 trail. I had really hard shifting till after the first service. It continues to improve the more I drive it. Absolutely love this machine. The adjustable fox shocks are super nice especially when the bed is loaded, or passengers are riding in the back. The solid front window will make the cab heat more noticeable

[@pineylife]

I haven’t got to drive a 2023 yet but I have heard there is a noticeable difference in the transmission. Congrats on your purchase and thanks for watching.

[@ajarboe18]

Love the videos brother, keep ‘em coming!! I have a 2021 1000 with only 1300 miles on it and it has done everything I have asked of it and more!!

[@pineylife]

Thank you brother. These pioneers are beast when it comes to work and play.

[@craighatch3221]

Love mine, no problems. A side by side article on a website rated it number one in reliability, in fact they said if you took good care of it, it could last you a good part of your lifetime.

[@pineylife]

I believe that statement is spot on. I had a Honda fourtrax 300 from 1988 to 2019 when I purchased my pioneer. They are the most reliable brand on the market. Thanks for commenting and watching.

[@MarkJLarsonOutdoors]

Great machine brother! I do like my Ranger its an 08 and been through hell but runs great! Good luck with everything my friend!

Thank you brother. The ranger are great machines too. When you can beat them up like we do and still get use out of them they are great machines.

I’ve been eyeballing the P-1000-5 Forest Edition for 5 years or so and finally got one in May. I wish I’d’ve found your channel before I purchased my SXS. It would’ve been informative and reinforced my decision. Sounds like you use yours similar to how I’ll be using mine. I’m looking for to years of great service.

[@pineylife]

Congratulations on your purchase and it also sounds like we got a lot in common. Thank you for the comments a following the channel. If you haven’t already check out my pioneer playlist on my KZbin channel of all the things I have added to mine. Thanks again for commenting and supporting my channel.

[@jonathankenton7182]

@@pineylife I’ve been wearing out the playlist especially the dual battery setup. I’m working on my plan and buying parts. I’m very particular on how I like electrical upgrades done so I’m sure I’m overthinking/over complicating it. Thankfully, there are several good vids on the topic so I’m hoping I’ll end up with the best of all of them. Life and the USAF brought me to Georgia but Rocky Top will always be home sweet home to me! Thanks again from a fellow Vol Stater. CBCS. GBO.

I agree. I have been considering getting one do to all the people that hunt with me. Keep me posted

[@jacobmcvay123]

How much bigger is it? I’d hate that my family couldn’t fit a cooler behind the back seats if I took everyone at once. The 6 may be the move!

[@pineylife]

@@jacobmcvay123 there is no room hardly at all with the tailgate up and the seats laid back. But you can let down the tailgate and they have metal rings to attach straps too to hold a cooler. Honestly with the fam riding and extra gear or luggage. The 6 is the way to go for you

Awesome review sir I'm looking at purchasing one myself I've had polaris can am kawasaki yamaha I'm getting older now looking for more dependability now looks like honda is the way to go!! I subscribed

You won’t regret getting a Honda. In my opinion it’s the best machine made for what I do. Thank you so much for subscribing and welcome to PINEY.

[@larrye2749]

Love my 2020 P1K3. Haven't done near the amount of upgrades that you have. Did upgrade the shocks on mine and made a big difference. Look forward to the skid plate video, that is on my list to do one day for sure.

[@pineylife]

I have added a few upgrades lol. Im really interested in the shock upgrade like you have done. Everybody says its the way to go so its on my list. Im actually getting a skid plate from a guy here in Tennessee. Im hoping to get it installed by deer season.

[@mukhanglarochannel4774]

Honda is the best. I have a few honda quad and dirt bikes and they're all great. I have a Honda dirt bike, everything is stock, bought it way back year 2001. My mechanic friend was laughing because just replaced the original spark plug a year ago. I was not thinking of replacing it because it runs well, it works. Sometimes I forget to change the oil for 8 months, and it still works. The dirt bikes are still the same as before.

[@pineylife]

I totally agree! They are the most reliable machines made. I had a 89 fourtrax and changed the spark plug for the first time in early 2000s. Like you I was like if it ain’t broke don’t fix it. lol. Thanks for watching and commenting. I really appreciate it.

6 year review for sure. Love the videos. Thoughts on the 1000-6.

[@pineylife]

Thank you and I will do the video this year for sure. To be honest I wasn't crazy about the looks of the 6 at first but after seeing one in person They are growing on me. I'm almost temped to get one since my family has grown so much. It would be easier to get them all in during hunting season. Pros: 6 seats, more room and same power. Cons Long wheel base for turning and maneuvering in the woods. also I'm concerned on how hot the rear passengers might get with the engine being at there shins. I plan on going to Honda and looking at one. Im hoping they let me drive it and maybe do a first impression video

[@peytonhorn2833]

Thanks for the review!

[@pineylife]

You’re welcome and I will be releasing the 6 year review this week . Thanks for watching

[@rockfishgamer1408]

Great video looking forward to 6-year review. I am shopping around for side by sides. Researching before I step on the dealership floor. I've watched several videos about Honda's every owner has great things to say about them. Mine will be used for farm use. Might load it up on the trailer to take to some KS trails. Got plenty of land I can test one out on. I've owned 4 wheelers what a blast that was. The winch in the back pulling up the deer with the bed tilted brilliant. Awesome accessories. Do they sale an AC/Heating unit for the Hondas? Looked over some of those NorthStar units from Polaris that's more than my pickup truck cost. The accessories I could install myself as I grow into the vehicle. The vinyl doors, rear vinyl, windshield, windshield wiper and roof are a must. As a farmer there are times, I need to be out in the rain checking some of my property for proper drainage. So, I know where to excavate for proper drainage. Just got a drone no ruts and I can set on my back porch or in a vehicle to observe. I got tractors that can easily make it there, but the tracks left you have to use another implement to smooth them out. I can totally see how one of these side by sides can improve my workflow I already got like 20 ideas that I could use it for the first day I'd own one.

[@pineylife]

Thank you, Mine sure has been a great machine so far. As far as I know they do not offer a ac kit but they do have heaters available. Now I will say this about Polaris. They have some awesome cab enclosures. Honda lacks on true cab kits but honestly I really like the removable doors. Throw them on in the winter and take them off in the summer or just unzip the window. Sounds like a side x side would help you out big time. Main thing that I love about Honda no belt. Keep me posted on your purchase and thanks for watching

[@redb5640]

I really enjoy you video's and have learned a lot. I bought a 2022 last Jan and love it. You "rattle" video's door bushings and dump bed worked like a champ. I've got a question...What gear H or L do you drive in for "casual" 2 people (no trailering) 7 to 10 mph? There are videos saying you must be in low unless it's flat and level.

[@pineylife]

Thank you and I'm glad you got some helpful information from my videos. Those rattles can be very annoying. Thanks for watching and supporting my channel. I always use H for casual driving at low speeds and have never had a issue. Now if im pulling anything anymore. I make sure im in L

Hey there, I bought a 2023 700 Pioneer last winter. No real complaints except my unit is a total rattle trap! Seems like everything rattles, windshield, bed, doors, top. If something isn't rattling its a rare thing. Maybe I expect it to be quiet like a vehicle....it's not.

[@pineylife]

Hello, you are correct on the rattling. I have fixed several of my rattles by just adjusting the door rubber bumpers and the latch up and down. There is a hose fix on the bed that helps whiten down the bed rattle some and of course changing the door hinge bushing help a lot. I have several videos on my Honda pioneer playlist on my channel. Check it out and let me know if any of them help.

Hey David, I have the Honda Rincon 680, which has the same engine/transmission as your pioneer 700. One thing I can tell you is that you will never find a more reliable power train.
