2020 Honda® Pioneer 500

For work or fun, the Honda Pioneer 500 gets the job done. At 50-inches wide, it comfortably seats two, so you and a friend can explore any trail, even the ones with width restrictions. And it also fits in a full-sized pickup bed. It’s loaded with features like automatic transmission with AT/MT modes, and a powerful engine that delivers plenty of low-RPM torque. Whether you’re on the job or hitting the trails, get the most out of every ride with the Pioneer 500.

• 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!

• 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 high-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.

• COMPACT 50“ 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!

• HEADLIGHTS

35-watt headlights provide clean, crisp light to get you through any adventure, day or night.

• 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.

• DUAL RATE SPRINGS

A spring is a spring, right? Sure, all springs may look alike, but the Pioneer 500s feature dual-rate springs, and after one ride you’ll feel the difference. You get a smoother ride over smaller bumps with more bottoming resistance on bigger bumps, along with a more confident steering feel.

• INDEPENDENT REAR SUSPENSION (IRS)

The Pioneer 500’s fully independent rear suspension means you get a smooth ride, especially over rough terrain.

• SIDE-BY-SIDE SEATING

With a comfortable bench-style seat, individual backrests and seatbelts for both rider and passenger, the Pioneer 500 offers side-by-side comfort and excellent maneuverability.

• DRIVER/PASSENGER PROTECTION

The Pioneer 500 is loaded with features to help provide a feeling of security for the driver and passengers. The Occupant Protection Structure uses sturdy, large-diameter tubing, and includes integrated handholds, recessed top tubes and a more spacious structure to enhance protection; it also meets OSHA’s 1928.53 rollover protective structure standard. Hard doors and roll-up side nets provide a secure feel and keep mud and debris out of the cabin, while automotive-style three-point belts with an Emergency Locking Retractor mechanism help keep everyone secure.
