If you don't mind let me know your out the door price when you buy 1 from them. I would have a problem going to them for a better deal. Thanks

Well the wait was worth it. Better than I expected. When I was picking mine up last night my dealer pulled the notes on our first conversation about buying the P1K in June. At that time, the 1000 was just rumors without any real detail, now I'm driving one. I didn't get enough seat time last night to describe or review it yet but it's way quicker than I would have thought. I love the tranny, I can be putting around quietly and slowly and tromp on it and break the tires free and fly. I can feel the shifts but they are timed very well and seem very efficient even in standard AT mode. The power steering is not auto quality but it's still great. One thing also I was concerned about was the back seat space. Well either the 1000's are bigger or maybe I didn't get enough time in the 700 rear seat, but they are quite comfortable and have more room than I remember. I'm really happy I got the 5. My wife and I ride and she slides to the middle and buckles up, just like when we were dating and riding in my pickup. Plenty of room and comfort. Although I got it home at almost dark last night I still managed to get it out and muddy. Couldn't help but wash it before putting it to bed. Glad it's Friday, I can ride all weekend.

Yes, the passenger side does sag a bit. Driver side and rears are good. I got it home right a dark and I haven't had enough time to look it over but it seems that at the hinge it just has too much play. Once I get a good look at it this weekend and see just how the doors actually go on I will have a better handle on why and notify my dealer.
Here is my GO PRO first ride in my P1000-5 that I got today. It sounds a lot better than it does in the video. Very smooth and fast. I did notice that a lot of heat blows/comes out of the shift lever area. But it was 85 degrees out and it wasn't that big of a deal. It sounds like a street bike when it's idling.
Dang I was hoping to not have a lot of engine heat. I've came from a commander and you can't hardly ride it in the summer it's so hot.

Sorry to get off subject , but with both rear seats up do you have any cargo room in the back of the bed still?

Cool video ...Thanks for posting it.....I did read on another forum from one guy who tried one out and had owned the Polaris Ranger 800 which had the entire motor and header under the front seat and after 30 minutes of riding your ass was cooked well done....he posted that after looking at the location of seat...motor...and exhaust...He prayed for no heat heat issues like with the 800 Ranger. I haven't seen one in person to know if the Pioneer has the potential for this problem.
Seems the dealers in the South are the first to get them, (last fri the 16th). Mine was due on the 26th then got bumped up to the 20th, then he was hoping the weekend. Still nothing, I am in WI I see dealers in Nebraska and St.Louis have gotten some. They are slowly heading north. I just waved goodbye to my 700-4 as a guy from Iowa loaded it up and took it away. Seem the Midwest is last in line.
