P1000 1000-3 versus 1000-5 which and why

[Nicholas]

So I am planning on picking up a Pioneer 1000-3, but something always has me looking back at the 1000-5. Aside from the obvious ability to carry a couple more people without much effort.. are there any other pros or cons about the -5? I plan on using this as a work horse mostly around my home and the gfs family farm and I just picture the extended roll cage getting in the way when trying to haul some awkward tree branches or something so thats why I planned on going with the-3. Anyone have any other insight on why to buy one over the other?

You do loose some bed space with the 5 . The rear rops is easily removed. You get self leveling rear shocks. And resale value will be more over the 3. Either is a good choice..Just remember you can make a -5 a -3 but you can't make a -3 a -5

by easily removed.. do you mean taking a wrench to it.. or is there some sort of quick disconnect for the bars? Plan is get the extended warranty on it and trade it in after the warranty is up.

Eight bolts to remove.

If your not going to haul more than 3 people save your money and get the p 3.

If you have the extra cash I say 5. What Glock said including resale the short 5 is very unique and imo will sell better you'll definitely get the extra cash back at sale. If you wanted the seats later it's a big deal. Side note obviously like he said the bed is a little smaller but it's damn nice to have extra doors to load. You can also use both doors as little cubbies below the seat.
Cons a little less bed room and a couple hundred pounds heavier. Both are incredible it's really good to coinsider either

I guess I didn't realize the bed was smaller on the 5 than the 3. How much smaller is it? I was presuming it was the same size.

I'd say 5 narrower? It's got to clear the rear ROPS while dumping

I have a 3 and wouldn't trade it for a 5 with 5 in my family. Save the extra money and put it on accessories is what I did.

I'm more than happy with the 3. The few times that I wish that I had a 5 are just that..... a very few.

That's up to you.. I bought a 5 and I'm pleased.

What he said.


I had the 700-4 and I've got the 1000-5D the self leveling shocks are nice when you've got people in the back. Want me some Fox though.

I wouldn't trade the 5 for the 3 EXCEPT when I want to dump a load of gravel or dirt in the bed and dump it somewhere else.

I got the 3 because I wanted more bed space and the rear rops get in the way even though you can take them off.
