Be a great complement to the Gator...

I don't understand why Honda keeps both of these in the lineup.

Actual availability would be an excellent change!

That's an excellent point, just make the 520. Wouldn't that make it easier to get some inventory to market?

No, they still have to make both engines for the atvs.

I think it's like the Camaro LS... Very few were made and if you look right now it's almost impossible to find a 500.. but it keeps their conversation in the MSRP game with a sxs available theoretically at 8999. At the same time they don't have to make or sell many because it shares 100% of the parts with the ATVs and the 520. It's a smart move. There's no 500s shipped in the US yet this year to my knowledge, but they are moving 520s. That's intentional.. just like it was really hard to find a Camaro LS at 21,900.

That krypton green is enough to make me seriously consider paying over sticker...

 

[JACKAL]

I would LOVE to get my hands on a P520 in that Black Forest Green, or even the Avenger Red. Needing to get my 50" trail fix in Utah / AZ again.

 

[futzin]

Is the Sandstone available as a plastics package yet? 😄

 

[HiFive]

Wife's aunt has a monster drink green golf cart had to have it to work on her 50 acres, bought it on first sight.lol krypton green is almost an exact match. Soooo maybe Honda is trying to expand it's market.🤔👍

They should just DCT the damm thing and simplify the engine lineup even more.

Would make a nice yard machine,...........as long as the muffler is on straight.

Man I can't wait till we all get Electric UTVs...........

No Muffler.....

I'll be honest, I only chose a gas UTV because the electric ones are too expensive... I was reeeeeallly close to buying electric, and I know how utterly unpopular that opinion is. I do DD an EV though lol.

Agree 100%, just based on how smooth my Rancher DCT 420 shifts.

But I’ll be a dissenter and think that a single model should be with a hinged/dump flat P500 style rear rack, with the P520 box offered as an bolt on accessory.
A base model w/flat rack offers more options than just a bed, for those needing something custom that works best for them. Some innovative builds in this thread, and have seen some golf cart rear seats/platforms added.
Owner’s choice.

P500 - Post your rear rack or box. Pics.

So many good threads on racks, boxes and baskets scattered around. Thought a single thread for pics may help others decide or share ideas and save troubles. Have changed/modified mine over time based on good examples, never done with mods.. Getting it started for those who might pass up a...
