I'm not a honda fan boy. Never have been. Back in 2015 I was looking for a nice sxs for the hunting club. I looked hard at the 700 pioneers but it really just seemed at the time they was underpowered and sounded like a fart can to me.
I went with the 800 commander xt. Put 28 radial outlaws on it and it was a really nice machine. Went through everything and never had to use the winch. Going down roads no one in the club wanted to go go down.
After a few issues with brakes and drivetrain and a failed axle and a couple other things I sold it.
Went a couple years just using a 4 wheeler and decided I wanted another sxs.
Polaris was out of the question. There seadoos are 100 percent junk and the people at the club that had em always had em in the shop.
I was looking hard at the defender and had my heart completely set on the xmr defender. So I'm looking and researching for a month and stumbled on a video.
So after clicking on several after this alot seemed to be infomercial type videos so I really started researching. The pioneer 1000-5 deluxe really had my attention.
After driving one I was sold. Super quiet. Loved the direct foot pedal response and the power. I would say overall it was 3 times better than the commander I had. Dif lock was also a big plus for me. Factory doors. 1 year factory warranty.
There was just to many things I liked that I never thought I would like more than the can am.
After driving the xmr I was completely sold on the pioneer. Xmr was loud and just seemed like a small jeep.
Well I went yesterday and purchased a brand new 2020 out the door pioneer for 15,040 cash out the door and could not be happier.
The headlights on the pioneer blow the can am out the water. There are just to many things I love about this machine and I never thought I would be caught dead writing this up.
Anyway I wanted to share my story in case someone else comes accross my situation in the same shoes.
I know these machines are vaccums for dust so I gotta get the right windsheild and stuff to make it work.
Also gonna put 28 inch tires. Haven't decided yet but ill.update progress of all the cool stuff i add.
Also riding on some rough bulldozer trails this thing has some serious shock travel. Was super impressed from bumper to bumper.
If you guys have any suggestions for have to have mods I'm all ears.
