I bet the aftermarket wheel manufacturer's love Honda's ugly ass wheels

Agreed.

The shocks and storage capacity are cool. Everything else just adds unnecessary complexity. I really hope they have some behind the scenes clutch and heat fixes. If those 2 issues are confirmed as fixed I will be in the market very soon.

So @JTW...Are you digging the Limited Edition I'm thinking its going to be priced at around $18,999

Well yeah, that is disappointing. Why build so much anticipation for new shocks and a 4wd system that I think a lot of guys won't want. I was at least hoping they'd address the heat and clutch (which maybe they did but won't mention). I was really hoping they have some real model changes. I knew that wasn't going to happen though.

Also I assume "new cabin-storage compartments and cup holders in all four doors" is a change for all 1000 models? Doesn't seem like they would continue producing their old plastic molds and new ones at the same time for the standard vs LE models......

I think the 4wd is going to get a lot of people from Polaris. Lazy is "better" but it might be ok I trust the system that's in it now though. Shocks will help the popo guys "transition " and just got an already slightly interested groups attention.

Look like general Lee wheels.

I agree the marketing is solid to bring that crowd in. Just kindof weird for the people already on this side of the fence.

I am relieved that they didn't change up too much stuff so I don't feel obligated to get something else for at least another year! I would like the shocks though, hope they're an optional add on for a decent price.

I do not like the auto-trac stuff. I can see where others may like it, but it reminds me of the Can-Am 4wd system that takes the "loose" tire to spin a full turn before it realizes it needs to lock the front diff. I'll stick to my levers.

 

[Eltobgi]

So...does it still have load leveling suspension with new FOX Shocks???

 

[IronHorse]

I'm wondering if the 1000-5 Le options are the same for the 1000-5 deluxe or is the Le replacing the deluxe model. Also I wish they would bring the orange into their models soon.

The good thing is that there are aftermarket options to address these things. Yep, Honda should address them. The heat issue isn't a big deal for me, but I understand why it is for others. I've already put Walker Evans on the front, so really don't care about the shocks. Maybe they've addressed the clutch issue. I haven't seen anyone with a late model have issues. I like the internal gear reduction that is being offered through aftermarket, but I don't have the cash to do it right now. I would also like to hear some reviews on it.

Couple of great questions in a row

I think it's sharp looking, but I'm in no hurry to trade up.

 

[Eltobgi]

Well I don't know about you guys but I'm going to go out and buy some scratch tickets because I want one

At that price.. no. I like the skids, stoppers, bumper and shocks.. I really don't think I like the differential changes. I could buy a 16 for 15,500 (maybe less now) add 1,000 for skid and stoppers.. maybe add or build a brush guard/bumper.... if it's around 17ish I think I could justify it and live with the differential changes but there's a lot of stuff there I'm paying for that I just don't know if I'd want or like... it probably would be pretty sweet though. But then again. Add windshield, roof, lights winch and all the other crap we do and you're over 20k for a toy with a lot of untested equipment! And let's not forget that if it's due February.. I probably will be pushing getting it by the Takeover!! I'm not sure just the shocks are worth the price difference??

I was told by Fox via email that the shocks will be available through Honda dealers.

That's exactly as I'm sitting

Well if you roll up to the Takeover with it...we will have a good opportunity to test it out! Don't worry about a winch...I've got you covered

These 2.0 Podium QS3 shocks run $1195 a pair for single rate springs and $1295 a pair for dual rate springs according to FOX website. I can't imagine them being much les through Honda so for a set of 4 you are looking at $2390.00 + tax etc.
