I like how the new dump bed gives it a lot better look, nice wheels and tires are always great improvement on any vehicle.

View attachment 2443860Finally here the wait is over. Upsized wheels and tires 26-11-12 R rear and 26-9-12R front. 5-2voffset. SS312 wheels. Can’t wait to take it on the trail and do some ice fishing View attachment 244387

Nice! I have a red one coming as well. But us peasants down here in the state have to wait til Feb. Quick question... Any idea of the underhood storage is the same for the 500s and 520? I'd like to have some of that ahead of time but don't want to order something that won't fit. TIA

The accessories for the p520 are up on the Honda web site. It may show what still fits from the old to the new.

As far as chassis it looks like the only thing that changed was the rear. It has a slightly longer wheelbase but they're not boasting added cab room or anything.

Assuming you have been riding around, what are you're thoughts on the P520 so far? Also, you can tell us about the "one that got a way" as well, LOL....

It looks like the wheelbase is 73" for both.
Just from the pictures the rear of the frame is diffrent where the bed attaches.
But it looks like the intake and exhaust have been reworked.
It's probably easy to do just moving tabs and brackets around but keeping the frame pipes the same.

Also, it looks like a lot of the accessories cross over to the p520 (p500 accessories are not up on the web yet)
This suggests there is a lot of common parts.
Have to wonder if the new style doors will fit my p500 (probably don't fit my riding style).
And I like the look of the nerf bars but I bet they don't keep the 50" width.
Forcing tires threw a 50" gate is one thing, hard parts are not going to squeeze threw as easily.

It looks like Honda has a whole updated plow setup for the P520.

Winch mount, plow mount, push tube and plow.

Info available on the Honda website when doing a build.

Will be curious if good for over 40 MPH, and also what you think of the engine/drivetrain noise level. I have a 2015 P500, and it's pretty loud...I mean PRETTY loud. Especially over 20 MPH.
