The old Googler has been suggesting a lot of stories and vids for me on the Foreman Rubicon 520. How likely do you guys think it is that a P500 redesign is in the works? I'd love to see that DCT 518 setup in the Pioneer. Electric shifting 4x4 modes, Hi/Low, and a button for reverse would be kinda cool to see.

If they were to ask me, I'd tell Honda to figure out how to get the 7.3/8.5 worth of travel and a dump box on there too. One can only hope....

Now that I think about it, how the he77 does the Foreman have more travel, EPS, AND a locking front diff!?

Not cool Honda, not cool....

I gotta agree, my mother and father in law both have foreman's with PS and locking front diff. I know they can be added aftermarket but they SHOULD be available on the showroom. I added PS to my 500 but sold it before the locker was available. I'll never buy another machine that doesn't come with both.

I would say yes but would not expect it for few more years. I think this would be a easy task but something I see them holding back so they can keep a future product path of growth.

id like to see them upgrade to a stock 4wd locker. and dumpbox. all the extra electrical you can keep. though. id probably never own a 500 because the small size i dont think they will modify much though i mean look at the 700. but then again the 500 and 1000 do get alot more loving than the 700.
