I think you'll find that this forum is probably more helpfull then the owners manual 😁.

P.S. we're still waiting on pictures!!! 😅

I'll get some pics. I think you mean how about I strapped it down?

Nice! Love that new green 👍
Something to think about though, I would put some kind of metal plate underneath the floor board and run the bolts through it. Gives a larger surface area for the anchor bolts. Maybe big enough to span to the next board on either side.

Nice! I haven’t seen a green one before.
I‘d attach Those tie downs where It will catch the steel frame.

I like the metallic green too. The wife wanted the yellow of the deluxe model and I kind of liked the Honda red but the green is growing on me.

I'm sure that's a good idea on the metal plate. Looking at the pics, I didn't realize how much the washers sunk into the boards. (Sorry about the doubled pics BTW. Not sure why that happened.) So in the pics, that's the new 1k5 after 5 days. Didn't waste any time on getting it muddied up. Actually washed it off twice and it's still got mud I didn't get to. And my cat decided to cough up a fur ball in the bed but I thought I didn't need a picture of that. (I'm sure that's appreciated.) Those D rings were 11000# rated, secured with the carriage bolts with the washers/lock washers in the pic. I left the gloves in the one picture to give perspective on size. I didn't bother driving the pioneer back up on the trailer, just laid out the straps as they were hooked up and showed how I wrapped the soft strap around the strut going to the front hub. I also hooked up a lawn cart to it. Probably will buy something like a 5x8 trailer in the future but for the moment this works for what I need.

Any dealer can take your money. There was no problem there. They took my order just fine and my money. AND they did deliver the merchandise configured as I asked. But when it came time to pick it up, it wasn't really ready and NOBODY went over the vehicle with me to show me ANYTHING about it. The salesman wasn't even there. It wasn't even cleaned up. The finance guy who took the money had to go out and get someone to wash the dust off. I wasn't offered a test drive (I should have insisted before I gave them my money but oh well, I didn't.) But nobody showed me anything on the Pioneer. I still don't know how to open the front panel, the hood. There are 2 latches but when I snap them open, the panel doesn't want to come off and I'm afraid to pull too hard on it. It's just plastic. No one showed me how to use the winch, explained why there isn't a parking brake, how to treat it during the break in period, how to use the dump bed, put the rear seats up and down. Nothing. No one there to even say goodbye and thanks for the business. Just took my money, gave me the machine and that was it.

I will say, I may be better off for it because it forced me to read the manual and work things out for myself. Except for the hood, I've figured things out for myself. I've never owned an offroad vehicle before so a lot of this stuff was new territory. But you know, for $25K, I expect just a little more courtesy from the dealer. So I give them a big thumbs down.

You have come to the right place my friend. You do need to know that there is no question that you can ask that we can not find you and answer for. However, pictures are a must, so train your mind to take the pics first and then answers can flow your way. Most of these guys are pretty sharp and there are a few that are brilliant, and even a couple that are above brilliant. They like to have a good time so join in and enjoy your P1K.

I still tie mine down with a 12,000# strap across the floor and under the entire trailer, in a big loop. I have NO sway, and use the left over strap to pull the front tires against the front rail. No sway to look at, and when a semi passes me the trailer and P1000-3 doesn't move. I could tie it down more...but why? I do 35 on dirt roads and 70 on the highway with no issues, pulling my 14 ft flatbed with one axle.

Beautiful machine. FYI, Tieing knots in tie straps is not desirable.
No stones, just that I've seen tons of equipment hauling mishaps with chains and straps.
Enjoy that new ride.

I love the machine! Good choice on color. Looks kinda familiar.
I use the Erickson chock/wheel straps on my trailer. They are very fast and secure.
