My only true complaint is clunky pre shift noise and door rattles...

Oh I agree, just the fact we have to do it vs Honda doing a better job on that

I don't want a sport SXS, I want something I can use around my house also that's why I bought the pioneer. My shocks cleared customs and should be here on Friday so we will see how it goes.
How many miles and oil changes/services?
I've got 1500 on mine and man it is so SMOOTH in trans shifting and transitions between gears. I can't hardly tell any more and I do account for getting accustomed to the "shift".

Yeah mine got MUCH smoother all around. Especially after my 2nd oil change which I mistakenly did at 600 miles instead of 1200. Oops! Oh well I did both engine and trans oil changes. Boy has it gotten better and better.
B
I plan on changing all.fluids at 600 and 1200 then.. lol
Yeah I misread the recommendations but glad I did. Small cost. Man I cannot tell ya the difference! Much less noise and clunk. It will loosen up.

Like you I bought the pioneer thinking I’d ride a little and use it for hunting and around the house. The thing is I didn’t use it for all the other stuff.. just riding. After 10k plus into the pioneer it’s as good as I was willing to make it, and it’s fine for what it is.... so, I bought a sport machine (KRX). I honestly didn’t know what know what I was missing. I would have been better off and money ahead to have bought a base 1000-5 and just bought a sport machine from the get go.

There is a obviously big difference between ranch/work/sport. I've been in and out of the P1000 at least 20 times today doing fencing. A non starter using a sport a sport machine in that mode in my book. October brings tracks for snow as our P1000 runs all year doing chores. My son's inlaws have a General which is an attempt to close the work/fun gap. It stomps his P1000 (even with fox shocks) on XC trails as far as comfort and speed go. The Generals quality seems to be really lacking and the cab seems a lot smaller though. I'm Seriously looking at fox shocks for our P1000 this summer "just because." We knew what we were getting into when we got our P1000 and are good with it as is. It gets $hit done when we need it to get $hit done.

@2Ladiesdad you need to update this thread on your Elkas and your level of satisfaction with your Pioneer since upgrading.
I just read and would like to hear!

P1000 - P 1000-5 and Elka suspension, worth every penny!
I posted here about 2 months ago about how I was disappointed in my pioneer purchase because it rode so rough I would physically hurt the next day after riding rough terrain. I ordered Elka stage 3 front and rear shocks through iShock slightly over 2 months ago. I've put about 20 miles on them...

I know this is a bit stale, but thought I'd say something.
I've spent a good amount of time in Razors and had a Teryx 4 (great machine) before.
I need something between sport and utility, which is why I bought a Pioneer 1K 5.
Struggled quite a bit about the $$ to go with the Limited Edition, but did.
I am happy with my choice. Put 75 miles on it today on rutted, frozen over dirt roads.
Smoothed out the bumps and tracked well.
