Say hello to the new 2020 Honda Pioneer 1000 Deluxe… Well, it’s kinda new. It’s a new “model” for the Pioneer 1000 model lineup but nothing on it is new exactly as the parts have been robbed from the Pioneer 1000-5 Deluxe and thrown on it. I’m not knocking it by any means, I have thought Honda should’ve done this years ago because from my experience, the Pioneer 1000-5 Deluxe outsells all of the other Pioneer 1000 models in the lineup and so many people that buy 3-seaters mention how they would want the Deluxe features. It would make sense to have the models structured similarly when your’e stepping up from the base model Pioneer 1000 to the Pioneer 1000 EPS like if you were jumping up from the Pioneer 1000-5 to the Pioneer 1000-5 Deluxe. That was a big thing that confused people, the upgrades weren’t consistent when looking at 3-seater versus 5-seater models. Long story short, I’m glad to see the Pioneer 1000 Deluxe for 2020!

At the moment, Honda hasn’t released a single ‘official’ picture of the 2020 Pioneer 1000 Deluxe. I’ve put together (2) of the (3) colors offered for 2020 below with a quick and simple photo edit throwing the blacked-out Deluxe wheels Honda is throwing on them as well as the LED headlights just to give you an idea as to what they’ll look like until Honda pumps out their pictures. Because of this, I will use a mixture of Pioneer 1000 and Pioneer 1000 EPS pictures from previous model years below for aesthetics.

With five models in our 2020 Honda Pioneer 1000 lineup, maybe you’re looking for a little help deciding which one is right for you. No problem. This year, they all come standard with Electric Power Steering (EPS). In our three-seat models, choose between the Pioneer 1000 and Pioneer 1000 Deluxe; in our five-seat models, we offer three trim levels: Pioneer 1000-5, Pioneer 1000-5 Deluxe, or Pioneer 1000-5 Limited Edition. Each is an upgrade in terms of features. No matter which one you choose, you can’t go wrong. With the Pioneer 1000-5 Limited Edition at the top of the Pioneer lineup: it’s loaded with innovative features, premium upgraded components, and superior comfort. So if you want the baddest 3-seater Pioneer 1000, it would be the Pioneer 1000 Deluxe and if you want the baddest Pioneer 1000-5 in that model lineup – it would be the Pioneer 1000-5 LE.

Now, let’s get to what your’e here for and that’s for information on the 2020 Pioneer 1000 Deluxe from Honda. I’m going to first go over all of the different Pioneer 1000 model variations / options for 2020 to make sure you’re vaguely familiar with each model and then dive into the nitty-gritty details on this specific model Pioneer 1000 (SXS10M3DL) which is considered the “Cadillac” of the 3-seater 1000cc Pioneer models. If you’re unfamiliar with how Honda did things last year, you can check my entire 2019 Honda Pioneer 1000 Side by Side model lineup breakdown review by Clicking Here.

This page is going to cover only (1) model specifically and that is the 2020 Pioneer 1000 Deluxe and hopefully help you answer – “Is the 2020 Pioneer 1000 Deluxe the right UTV for you or should you go with one of the other Pioneer 1000 models to get the features you want?” Why only cover (1) model when there are many different Pioneer 1000 & 1000-5 model variations?

I’m going to create a page to cover each model individually to hopefully make the information easier for those that are ‘shopping’ and or doing research on a specific model and don’t want to have to skim over all of the other models to find the nitty-gritty specs on the model they are wanting that information on. Once I am finished doing a detailed review on each model I will put together a special page breaking down all of the model differences between all of the different 2020 Pioneer 1000 & 1000-5 models. I’ve found that ever since Honda released the 2016 Pioneer 1000 model lineup in 2015 that I still run into people on a daily basis that are confused by all of the models and what they offer so I’m going to try and help break down that information to better-help those individuals that may not know every in-and-out about these models like many enthusiasts are that have studied every nut and bolt of these side by side / UTV models.

Why is the Pioneer 1000 model lineup confusing to some people?

Take a look at all of the Pioneer 1000 model options / model variations you had to choose from last year:

• Honda Pioneer 1000
  • Pioneer 1000 = 3-seater | 1000cc
• Honda Pioneer 1000 Deluxe
  • Pioneer 1000 Deluxe = 3-seater | 1000cc
• Honda Pioneer 1000 LE ( LE = Limited Edition)
  • Pioneer 1000 LE = 3-seater | 1000cc
• Honda Pioneer 1000-5
  • Pioneer 1000-5 = Convertible Seating = 3 / 4 / 5 seater | 1000cc
• Honda Pioneer 1000-5 Deluxe
  • Pioneer 1000-5 Deluxe = Convertible Seating = 3 / 4 / 5 seater
• Honda Pioneer 1000-5 LE (LE = Limited Edition)
  • Pioneer 1000-5 LE = Convertible Seating = 3 / 4 / 5 seater

Nowhere in those model names above does it really designate what you get for the $$ differences and or what differentiates them and that is what I believe still confuses some people. I still have some people confused as to what the  ‘5’ means in 1000-5 and that’s what has pushed me to spend the time in a write-up like this. Now, as you can see below – Honda is trying to combat the problem and make things easier to understand when comparing the different models and the features wanted etc.

 

2020 Honda Pioneer 1000 Model Lineup / Options Explained:

To start with, the 2020 Pioneer 1000 model lineup is available in (5) different versions, (2) Pioneer 1000 models with a 3-seater configuration and (3) different Pioneer 1000-5 models with 5-seater capability.

Here are the (2) 2020 Pioneer 1000 model options / variations:

• Pioneer 1000 EPS
  • The 2020 Pioneer 1000 EPS isn’t the same as the 2019 and prior Pioneer 1000 EPS models.  You now get get EPS (Electric Power Steering), tilt-steering wheel. Next to the EPS, the biggest feature you also get now are new transmission features! On the older Pioneer 1000 Base Model you can put the DCT Automatic Transmission in D (Drive) and go. With the Pioneer 1000 EPS you get the added feature of being able to shift the transmission manually via Paddle-Shiters or you can still put the DCT Automatic Transmission in Auto-Mode if you’d like for it to shift automatically. You also have the “Sport” mode button you can click when it Auto-Mode. However, you do lose something with the 2020 Pioneer 1000 EPS over the previous years… You do not get the color matched body panels on the doors and bed.
• Pioneer 1000 Deluxe
  • What do you gain on the Pioneer 1000 Deluxe vs Pioneer 1000 EPS model? On the Pioneer 1000 Deluxe you get 14″ Aluminum Wheels instead of the EPS model’s 12″ steel wheels. On top of the better wheels, you also get a more aggressive tire on the 1000 Deluxe with Maxxis Big Horn 2.0 tires on all four-corners instead of the 27″ OTR tires. Similar to the old Pioneer 1000 EPS upgrade in prior years,  you also get color-matched body panels on the doors and bed when you upgrade to the Deluxe. You also get LED headlights instead of the halogen setup. Other than those features, the 2020 Pioneer 1000 Deluxe and Pioneer 1000 EPS are the same.

Here are the (3) 2020 Pioneer 1000-5 model options / variations:

• Pioneer 1000-5 (Base Model)
  • The Pioneer 1000-5 base model comes with all of the same features as the base model Pioneer 1000 except for now you get (2) more convertible seats in the back that you can fold up and down to still have the bed if you need it. With the addition of those extra seats in the back of the Pioneer 1000-5, you do gain a load-leveling rear suspension setup that the Pioneer 1000 models don’t come with from the factory.
• Pioneer 1000-5 Deluxe
  • What do you gain on the Pioneer 1000-5 Deluxe vs Pioneer 1000-5 Base Model? This is where the Pioneer 1000-5 model differences and Pioneer 1000 model differences really break apart when you ‘upgrade’. On the Pioneer 1000-5 Deluxe you get 14″ Aluminum Wheels instead of the base models 12″ steel wheels. On top of the better wheels, you also get a more aggressive tire on the 1000-5 Deluxe with Maxxis Big Horn 2.0 tires on all four-corners (same size as base model at 27″) instead of the OTR tires. Similar to that of the Pioneer 1000 Deluxe, on the Pioneer 1000-5 Deluxe you also get color-matched body panels on all four-doors as well as the bed. You also get LED headlights which not only look awesome but are brighter than the standard models halogen bulbs. 
• Pioneer 1000-5 LE / Limited Edition
  • What do you gain on the Pioneer 1000-5 LE vs Pioneer 1000-5 Deluxe? A LOT! As you can see below:

• Visual Enhancements
  • Red springs
  • Aluminum wheels
  • Painted plastic bodywork
• Added protection
  • Aluminum A-arm guards (Front & Rear) for added protection from trail hazards like rocks and branches
  • Aluminum skid plates (4mm thick)
• FOX QS3 adjustable shocks
  • Improved shocks provide an even smoother ride and improved handling; with a simple turn of a dial, customers can tune the machine for different terrains or driving styles
    • Spring preload
    • QS3 (Quick Switch 3 position)
    • 1.5″ Type-III hard anodized aluminum body and reservoir
    • Ultra-durable bottom-out bumper
    • 5/8″ Hard-chromed shaft
    • High-flow Velocity-sensitive Damping
    • Fully Rebuildable and Revalveable
• Intelligent 4-Wheel Drive System (I-4WD)
  • SxS industry first and a direct result of Honda automotive engineering
  • Brake Traction Control
    • Always on in I-4WD, it constantly senses speed of the front wheels; applying brake force to slipping wheel
    • Combined with torque-sensing limited slip differential, I-4WD can provide as much drive force as a locking differential
    • Less steering effort
• Hill Start Assist
  • Engaged with a dash mounted switch, the brake is momentarily held while transitioning to the accelerator from a stop on an incline
• Electronic Brake Force Distribution
  • Optimizes front and rear brakes while coming to a stop—loaded or empty

 

 

Now, that we’ve got that explanation out of the way… Let’s dive into the 2020 Pioneer 1000 model as a whole and see what it’s about.

1. Recent Pioneer 1000 Changes / Improvements

Recent Changes / Improvements for 2017 Pioneer 1000 models:

• Memory function that retains the last transmission mode after engaging reverse
• Winch harness now pre-wired
• Thicker seat foam for improved comfort
• Refined DCT control for even smoother acceleration from a stop

Recent Changes / Improvements for 2018 Pioneer 1000 models:

• Cabin comfort improvement kit to cut down on in-cabin heat (Click Here for more info)
• Clutch improvement kit to keep clutches cooler and to help prevent the clutches from slipping (Click Here for more info)

 

2. What do you GAIN on the 2020 Pioneer 1000 Deluxe VS Pioneer 1000 EPS?

• What Features are you gaining for $1,000?
  • Do you want ‘pretty’ 14″ aluminum wheels and more aggressive 27″ Maxxis Big Horn 2.0 tires on your 2020 Pioneer 1000? If so, then the Pioneer 1000 Deluxe is for you. The 2020 Pioneer 1000 Deluxe is the only Pioneer 1000 model to come with the larger 14″ aluminum wheels and more aggressive 27″ Maxxis Big Horn 2.0 tires. The 2020 Pioneer 1000 EPS still comes with 27″ tall tires but they are OTR HP 009 tires that aren’t as aggressive when it comes to their tread as the Maxxis Big Horn 2.0 tires and they are wrapped around 12″ steel wheels instead of the more aesthetically pleasing 14″ aluminum wheels.
  • Do you want or need the LED headlights on your 2020 Pioneer 1000?  If so, the Pioneer 1000 Deluxe is for you as that is the only model that comes standard with them in the Pioneer 1000 model lineup. To the average person, they don’t ride too much at night so they won’t see the true ‘benefit’ of the brighter LED headlights and the halogen-bulb headlights will be more than sufficient. There is no denying though that the LED headlights are a thing of beauty and look a lot more aggressive. You can install the LED headlights on a Pioneer 1000 EPS too if that’s all your looking for.
  • Do you want or need the color-matched body panels on your 2020 Pioneer 1000? If so, the Pioneer 1000 Deluxe is for you again as it is the only Pioneer 1000 model to come standard with color-matched body panels on the doors and bed. The only colored plastic bodywork on the Pioneer 1000 EPS is the hood. However, you can add those exact same body panels like the Deluxe has to a Pioneer 1000 EPS for less than $400 retail for those that may not want the Deluxe model features but would like to have the colored doors and bed plastic panels.
  • Do you need 4-5 seats in your side by side / UTV? If so, you’re looking at the wrong model. You may need to look at the Pioneer 1000-5, Pioneer 1000-5 Deluxe or Pioneer 1000-5 LE as they have 5 seats. The “5” in Pioneer 1000-5 means that this model has seating for 5 people. I know that may seem obvious to some but I do have some people that still aren’t 100% sure what the “5” means and they aren’t aware that the Pioneer 1000 models have 3 seats instead of a 2-seats. So any time I use the terminology “Pioneer 1000” you know I’m talking about the 3-seater model lineup and if I say “Pioneer 1000-5” then you know I’m referring to the Pioneer 1000-5 model lineup.

3. 2020 Pioneer 1000 Information Review

Now that we’ve determined whether or not you’re truly interested in the 2020 Pioneer 1000 Deluxe or if another model is more up your alley we will dive into the detailed specs and features of this machine – the Pioneer 1000 Deluxe…

Below, after I touch on some of the recent changes to the Pioneer 1000 (briefly mentioned above) I will dive into the nitty-gritty specs on this model Pioneer ranging from the engine, DCT transmission, interior, electronics etc to hopefully help show you anything and everything you need to know about the Pioneer 1000 in one place. Don’t forget to take a minute and check out my other detailed write-ups reviewing each of the 2020 Pioneer 1000 models including all of the 3-seater and 5-seater side by side models from Honda.

First, let’s dive into the Pioneer 1000 ‘heat issue’ that you may have read about if you browse the owner’s forums etc. This complaint has been a mixed bag as you’ll find some that say they don’t have a heat issue where some find it “unbearable”. Has Honda decided to tackle this complaint for the Pioneer 1000? Yes. Honda has thrown a new seat / heat-shield combo on the Pioneer 1000 in both 2017 and 2018 which comes standard on the 2020 models which cuts down on the heat.

The pre-wired winch harness on the Pioneer 1000 (started in 2017) may not seem like a big deal to some people but trust me if you ever plan on installing a winch on your Pioneer 1000 you will find out this change on the Pioneer 1000 is heaven-sent… Why is that? Honda calls for 4.5 hours worth of labor on their flat-rate chart to install a winch on a Pioneer 1000 and the majority of that time is spent with installing the wiring harness. With the winch harness being pre-installed from the get-go it will cut down on that time drastically and make life easier for you if you plan on installing it yourself and if you plan on having a dealer do the install – it will save your wallet from the shock once you get the labor bill! The picture you see to the side, is a Pioneer 1000 stripped down to install the Warn winch with Honda’s wiring harness if that gives you an idea of how much the 2016 Pioneer 1000 model lineup had to be stripped down…

3.1 | Engine | Pioneer 1000

Honda technicians have proven time and again that there’s simply no one better at developing engines, and their full expertise was called upon for the Pioneer 1000’s all-new, purpose-built side-by-side power plant. The result is an engine that’s head-and-shoulders above anything else on the market, serving as a reminder that there’s a reason behind the manufacturer’s name: Honda Motor Company.

When you know the power you need is always at the ready, every drive is an enjoyable experience. And that’s precisely what you get out of the class-leading 999cc liquid-cooled inline twin. Using the same Unicam® cylinder head design found in our motocross bikes, it’s more compact in size, and it still delivers the kind of horsepower and torque you’d expect from a flagship model.

“We’re very excited about the 999cc engine we’ve developed for these new Pioneers,” said Lee Edmunds, Manager of Motorcycle Marketing Communications at American Honda. “We’ve also added the industry’s only fully automatic mechanical transmission – the 6-speed Dual Clutch Transmission. With steel gears, the DCT offers true engine braking, seamless shifting and a smooth, reliable transfer of power.”

• All Pioneer 1000 models are powered by a 999cc parallel-twin engine with a Unicam® design like that of Honda’s legendary CRF motocross models, achieving high performance while simultaneously minimizing weight and bulk.
• Big power and torque: able to haul 1,000 pounds (600 pounds for California models) and tow 2,000 pounds.
• High-tech “roller rockers” have a roller that contacts the cam, greatly reducing friction and wear compared to standard rocker arms.
• Longitudinal engine mounting eliminates unnecessary right angles in the driveline, ensuring an efficient transfer of power to the ground.
• Engine and exhaust system are rubber-mounted to reduce vibration and noise.
• To help the engine meet Honda’s unmatched reliability standards, the air inlet is positioned high under the hood, resulting in a clean supply of air and excellent clearance for water fording. The air-cleaner element is a viscous paper type, for exceptional filtration and a long service life.

Pioneer 1000 Engine Performance Numbers / Details:

• 2020 Pioneer 1000 Horsepower: 72 HP
  • 2020 Pioneer 1000 Top Speed: 67 MPH via Electronic Speed Limiter

3.2 | Transmission | Pioneer 1000

The side-by-side market’s first fully Automatic DCT is a superior system, the perfect transmission for a flagship SxS model—and no one does DCT better than Honda, as evidenced by the sophisticated transmission on the Pioneer 1000.

• All Pioneer 1000 models now have a memory function that retains the last transmission mode after engaging reverse (started in 2017).
• Six-speed automatic Dual Clutch Transmission (DCT) on all six types; those equipped with EPS also have a sport mode switch and manual paddle shifters.
• With DCT, an advanced shift logic monitors variables including throttle position and input, engine rpm, vehicle speed and brake input to determine driving style. During relaxed input, the transmission maintains a low rpm for a quiet cabin, low vibration and improved fuel efficiency. During more aggressive input, a higher rpm is held, maximizing engine torque and power. During inconsistent throttle input, transient detection logic prevents multiple up- and downshifts. When descents are detected, the transmission downshifts to provide true engine braking.
• Changing DCT modes on the fly immediately alters the character of the machine, from quiet and relaxed to exciting and powerful.
• Even in automatic mode, the driver can override the gear selection at any time by using the paddle shifters. The selected gear will be maintained for several seconds before the transmission seamlessly reverts to fully automatic shifting.
• The low-range sub-transmission has a 1.42:1 ratio (like a 4WD truck), essentially doubling the number of gears from six to twelve.

There’s no shortage of areas where Honda has set new benchmarks with the Pioneer 1000 model lineup, but perhaps the most pertinent is the Dual Clutch Transmission (DCT), which makes its first appearance ever on a side-by-side. Enthusiasts of high-performance sports cars are familiar with DCT technology, but until now, it wasn’t available to SxS customers.

What is a DCT Transmission?

A superior technology, DCT is an all-gear transmission that shifts automatically—the best of both worlds!

• As the name suggests, Dual Clutch Transmissions have two clutches—one that controls odd-numbered gear sets (first, third, fifth), and another that controls even-numbered gear sets (second, fourth, sixth). A hollow outer transmission shaft contains a separate internal shaft, and each holds one of the two clutches.
• Multiple gears are engaged simultaneously so that the transmission is constantly prepared for the next shift. For gear-changes, one clutch disengages and the other engages, resulting in shifts that are quick, smooth, seamless.
• Data, collected by a series of sensors, is processed by the ECU, which uses an advanced algorithm to determine when the shift-control motor should electronically trigger gear-changes. The clutches are controlled by sophisticated electronics and hydraulics.
• Honda is the powersports leader in DCT, having debuted it on the 2010 VFR1200F and since adapted, refined and expanded it to other motorcycles and premium ATVs.

Why DCT?

The short answer is simple—because it’s better—but there’s obviously more to it than that, as DCT offers a long list of advantages:

• Durability: All-gear designs (with no belts) provide a direct, connected feel between the accelerator and the wheels, as well as improved durability, reduced maintenance and efficient power transfer.
• Versatility: Whereas most transmissions are either automatic or manual, DCT systems can give owners the option to choose depending on the driver and the conditions. For example, use standard automatic for relaxed cruising, sport mode to hold gears longer for more spirited driving, or manual to have fun shifting, like a sports car, or to allow precise speed control for operations like spraying and plowing.
• Performance: While DCT is known for its ease of use, its smooth, quick gear-changes are also ideal for sportier applications—hence its availability on the new CRF1000L Africa Twin adventure-touring motorcycle, and even the next-generation Acura NSX sports car. Whereas a typical CVT design transmits 88% of power to the ground, all-gear systems deliver 96-98%. DCT allows maximum engine torque and true engine braking for the heaviest loads, hills and technical terrain. 

3.3 | Chassis / Suspension | Pioneer 1000

Like the engine, the Pioneer 1000’s chassis was purpose-built, engineered for uncompromising comfort and capability.

Prepare to go further than ever before. Our refined chassis enables you to tackle terrain others would shy away from, with large 27″ tires, long-travel independent front and rear suspension and huge ground clearance. The rubber-mounted engine and exhaust system insulates against excessive vibration, and on the 1000-5 model, self-leveling rear suspension compensates for changing loads which can also be added to the Pioneer 1000.

(* The Frame / Chassis pictures you see below are of the Pioneer 1000-5 but the Pioneer 1000 is identical except for the rear part of the roll cage and that is why I have included them in this post.)

• All Pioneer 1000 models come with a pre-installed winch-ready wiring harness.
• Ground clearance is an impressive 12.7 inches on the 10000.
• Dual A-arm design and fully independent suspension front and rear, with 10.6 inches of plush travel up front, 10.0 inches in back.
• All Pioneer 1000 models come equipped with 27″ tires. 

3.4 | Interior | Pioneer 1000

Serving as a constant reminder of the Pioneer 1000’s premium status are a couple of traits for which Honda is famous—attention to detail, and fit and finish.

• Wide, comfortable bench seat for one, two or three passengers, with hand-hold straps and a shoulder belt for the center passenger (center seat is positioned high and forward to increase comfort and maximize space). Starting in 2017, Honda did make the padding thicker on all Pioneer 1000 seats for more comfort.
• The easy-to-use dump-bed lever can be accessed from outside the vehicle or from a front seated position.
• Hard doors with nets on all models, providing passengers with a secure feel and helping to keep mud and debris out of the rider cabin.
• Large, easy-to-reach transmission and drive levers with positive detents make it easy to identify the selected gear and drive mode by sight or feel.
• The LCD multifunction display has a large, easy-to-read screen, showing speed, odometer, trip A and B, tachometer, gear selected, transmission mode, drive mode, clock, fuel, water temperature, mode and maintenance reminder.
• Two open dash-storage areas and a weatherproof glove box.
