Make every day Elite
Sealed cab
The new 1000 Elite comes with a fully sealed cab, complete with heating, air conditioning, windshield wipers, and more. Developed with the shared knowledge of an industry-leading automotive division, you can be assured it will set the standard for side-by-sides. Now you can work and play in complete comfort, no matter the conditions.
Cool cabin
Engineered to manage cabin heat as effectively as possible, you’ll ride cooler and be more comfortable in warm-weather conditions.
Cruise control
This is a big plus, especially if you’re using your Pioneer for agricultural use where you want a steady, even speed over fields for spraying or seeding operations.
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
Fully automatic six-speed DCT
With our Honda six-speed Dual-Clutch Transmission (DCT), you can choose between manual mode or fully automatic. There’s even an easy-to-use tow/haul mode, along with 2WD, 4WD, Differential Lock, and Turf selections.
Throttle by wire
The Pioneer 1000’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 Electric Power Steering
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.
Selectable drive modes
Four selectable drive modes (Comfort, Normal, Sport and Tow/Haul) let you fine-tune your Pioneer 1000’s power delivery, shift points, and acceleration to the task at hand. You get top performance and a comfortable ride for every riding condition!
Vehicle speed controls
Throttle by wire enables the Pioneer 1000 Deluxe to offer cruise control, a variable speed limiter, and a speed-limit key. Cruise control is perfect for moving from one field to another. The variable speed limiter is great for tasks like spraying, mowing, and spreading. And the speed-limit key keeps things under 25 mph for employees or less experienced operators.
Rear sliding window
Just like the window in the back of a pickup truck, the Elite’s sealed cab features a full-size sliding rear window. Easy to slide open and closed, it lets you get fresh air and conveniently reach items in the bed.
New bed-dump lever
Our tilt/dump-bed design is a great versatile benefit, and now it’s even better. Relocating the dump lever makes it easier and less hassle to get to and use.
More underseat storage
The convenient underseat storage area has a large opening, which keeps objects close at hand and easily accessible.
LED headlights
New LED headlights are brighter, have a specially designed pattern, and look great too.
New door latches
No detail is too small when you’re as close to perfection as a Pioneer 1000 Deluxe is. New door latches this year mean fewer rattles for a better driver/passenger experience.
