2022 Pioneer 1000 Design & Styling

The Pioneer 1000 lineup receives a number of aesthetic- and comfort-focused improvements for the new model year. For example, a new front grill and bumper, along with distinctive Honda emblems and decals, set the 2022 Pioneer 1000 family apart from previous generations. In addition, all versions come with tilt steering to adjust to different body sizes, and with a thickly padded foam seat for maximum comfort in all driving conditions.

For 2022, all Pioneer 1000 versions come with six-ply OTR Dirt Master tires mounted on 14-inch wheels (cut-contrast aluminum for the Trail, black aluminum for the Forest and Deluxe, steel for the EPS), and halogen headlights are standard, providing superb illumination when the sun goes down.


As before, all five-seat iterations are equipped with Honda’s exclusive QuickFlip seat system, which enables users to switch between seating arrangements for three, four or five people. When the two rear seats aren’t needed, they can be folded down to allow additional room in the bed for cargo. Bed capacity is 1,000 lbs. (600 lbs. Calif.) and fuel tank capacity is 7.9 gal., including reserve (1.2 gallons for five-seaters, 1.7 gallons for three-seaters).


Door nets are redesigned to make door operation simpler and have a new, finer mesh pattern to improve visibility. An all-new, black-on-white digital dash display has a more modern appearance and adds indicators for clutch engagement and battery voltage. In addition to four door-mounted cupholders, a new cupholder in the dash holds a tumbler-style container up to 30 ounces in size. The Pioneer 1000 Trail comes with a ROPS-mounted rear-view mirror, while the other versions have a bracket for easy accessory installation.
