2023 Pioneer 1000 Crew - 10 Things You Need to Know!

[Hondasxs]

The 2023 Honda Pioneer 1000-6 Crew brings many improvements to Honda's flagship line. Here we will list the top 10 things you need to know about the new Crew model.

#1 - Room for 6​

The crew offers best-in-class second-row passenger space with 28 inches of knee room. The center seat is staggered to maximize shoulder space for rider comfort. Ingress and egress are easy and simple with the full-size doors.

​

#2 - Increased frame and chassis strength​

Critical locations on the frame have been supported nearly three times to account for bending resistance. The roll bar and other frame parts are thicker and stronger than the 3/5 seaters. The frame is also a 1-piece unit fully dipped to increase longevity vs paint.

​

#3 - 2500 pounds of towing.​

Honda has increased the towing capacity from 2000 pounds to 2500 pounds. This provides more capability to get the job done. The bed can also handle 1000 pounds of gear, maximizing hauling to and from the job site.

​

#4 - EPS updates​

The EPS system features 50% more torque assist than prior models. Honda also beefed up the steering rack to handle the crew along with new and improved tie rods/ends, starting with the 2022 MY Pioneer 1000s. It also has a return-to-center function that is helpful out on the trail and when turning.

​

#5 - Tons of storage space.​

The new Crew has front and rear under-seat storage. Perfect for tools and other supplies. It also has under-the-dash storage for easy-to-access things. The front under-seat storage can easily be accessed without removing the seat. Perfect for tools, supplies, cooler, and other items.

​

#6 - In-bed 12v accessory outlet.​

An included 12v power supply in the bed allows user to power accessories, electric coolers, air compressors, and more items directly from the bed of the machine.

​

#7 - Updated front a-arm mounts.​

Starting with the 2022 MY, Honda redesigned the front upper arms for more durability and strength. This carried over to the new Crew and is a welcomed addition.

​

#8 - Tow/Haul mode.​

This function optimizes gear changes, allowing each gear to hold longer to maximize pulling power. It also works in both High and Low.

​

#9 - New upgraded display​

Starting MY 2022, Honda upgraded the display to a new design. This new modernized meter features a clutch indicator, battery voltage & CAN communication.

​

#10 - New Grille with improved cooling.​

The new grill helps with airflow paired with a new larger fan starting MY 2022. The radiator coolant flow has also been reversed to improve cooling effectiveness.

Good write up. This is going to be a winner for Honda.

What's a "clutch indicator" on the new display?

It’s for when the clutches get too hot it will indicate it

It has its place and I think it fits in well.

Is there a gross vehicle maximum with trailer or can it tow 2500lbs with 6 guys riding it?

 

[ButchersHook]

Tow/haul makes ALOT more sense then the "hill assist" switch. Any idea if that will be offered on the 3 or 5 seater?

 

[StewB]

Me thinks there's a big difference between 6 SoCal guys headed to the beach and 6 SoArk guys headed to hunt hogs.
So yes, there's a lot of merit to the "gross" weight question.

Tan lines?

Ew, gross!!

Does it have def lock

I went here and downloaded the owners manual:

Honda Motorcycle Owners Manual - Honda Powersports

Download the Honda Motorcycle, ATV, and SxS Owners Manuals here:

powersports.honda.com

In the section on trailer towing (p85) it says:

In other areas the manual gives the max cargo capacity as 'cargo, occupants, accessories' but dose not mention the trailer tongue weight.
Also I did not see a gross combined number (not surprised, it's not an on road vehicle).

Yes, this model had diff lock.

So 6 full grown men with their water cooler pretty much leaves no trailer. However I am still impressed at its payload.

it says "tongue load" which I think is 200 lbs on the 1000-5 so this would be similar.
It can pull 2500 lbs, this is different than the tongue load.

 

[Stauvo]

I ordered a 2023 model 3 seater to give my 2016 5 seater company on the trails. Hope all these refinements cross over.

Rock-n-roll clubers!

 

[Ozmojo]

Does it have an electric dump feature for the box? If not has anyone refined an after market one for the Pioneer yet ?

No, and there is not currently one on the market.
I have messed with this. I think it would be an excellent item to look into.

 

[Bombardier Convert]

Wondering what the turning radius is on the 6 seater compared to a P1K3 and would it be capable of tight cornered wooded upland trail riding?
