2023 Honda® Pioneer 500
COMPACT AND FULLY CAPABLE
Here’s a perfect example of when less can equal more: the Pioneer 500. It’s the compact side-by-side designed to fit on more trails, even those with width-restrictions. That narrow 50-inch stance also allows it to securely fit in most full-sized pickup beds for easy transport, so you can go more places. This versatility is equally matched by capability, thanks to a powerful Honda engine and features like an automatic transmission with Automatic (AT) and Manual (MT) modes. The Pioneer 500 is small but mighty, ready to help you work less and get more done.

Features may include:

DRIVETRAIN
AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION WITH AT/MT MODE
You can let the Honda Pioneer 500’s automatic transmission shift for you, or you can still shift yourself with its paddle shifters. You can even shift from auto to manual (AT to MT) on the fly!

PERFORMANCE
POWERFUL 500-CLASS ENGINE
Coupled with an efficient five-speed automatic transmission, the Pioneer 500’s engine features electronic fuel injection for effortless cold-weather and changing altitude operation. It’s specially tuned for low-rpm torque, too.

1000-POUND TOWING CAPACITY
The Pioneer 500 has a heavy-duty receiver-style hitch and 1000-pound towing capacity.

VERSATILITY
COMPACT 50-INCH WIDTH
The Pioneer 500’s 50-inch overall width is a huge bonus. Whether it’s for width-restricted trails or convenient transportation and storage, the Pioneer 500 can go where just about no other side-by-side can!

REAR CARRIER DESIGN
With the unique steel rear carrier design, the Pioneer 500 gives you tremendous versatility when it comes to securing loads. Special tiedown-hook securing points make it even easier, and the rack’s 450-pound rating gives you plenty of carrying capacity, too.

HANDLING
TRAXLOK 2WD/4WD
Our rock-solid system lets you choose either 2WD or 4WD, giving you the freedom to choose between lighter steering (in 2WD) and maximizing available traction (in 4WD) when you need it most.
