P1000 2019?

[RAPTOR]

Any info on the 2019 models floating around yet? Stuck debating on grabbing a leftover 2017 1000 eps or waiting for the 2019's and praying there's a low range and turf mode on a 700.

I wouldn't hold my breath for a low range and turf mode on the 700. It's great the way it is, and the price point is right where Honda wants it...Makes sense to leave it alone and just make minor improvements to keep prices where they are..

You and me both buddy. But as @Deluxe700 said, don't hold your breath...

I would like to see a big upgrade. Open dif, 50hp 725cc engine, 4 speed trans, 12 inch suspension travel, and a longer wheelbase. The 4 seat model needs a large rear seat model.

I'd be happy with just a true low range. that's the only thing keeping me from buying a 700 deluxe at this point.

Thats why I bought the 1000

Welcome to the forum RAPTOR an Lewis. What Lewis said. Good luck.

I would be nice if the Pioneer 700 was a 700 but it's a 675

Doesn't bother me much, would have plenty of power for what I need it for. I just live on a hill, and access down to where I need to be is a steep hill. Towing/hauling things downhill with no low range is what I don't like...i'd prefer not to do 12 mph with a load in the bed dodging rocks at the bottom.

I agree there...

I actually think the 700 will be phased out of production... with the 500 and 1000 and a sport model

I don't think it will be phased out, but maybe...it is just too reliable, and the price point is good. The 500 is to narrow for some older folks and the 1000 is out of their budget, or just too big. The 700 is great around the house or small farm...
But I do think they probably sell more of the 500 and 1000 models..

It does depend on where and how you’re using it. My 700 is wholly unsuitable in the Rockies where I have it, it’s gutless at the elevation and steeps and the lack of low range kills it.

I’m considering trading it in on a 1000. Has the clutch, water ingestion and seat heat problems been remedied on the 18’s?

Clutch? Yes, I believe all 18's moving forward have the new update.
Water ingestion? Mid year 2017 to current should have this update.
Seat heat? Best of my knowledge, all 18's come with it, some mid year 17's.
I would say you are safe trading on an 18. They may not release it to you until the new recall has been performed though. But with a sale on the line, I am sure they will put it at top of the fleet in the dealership.

Nice! Thank you for that information!!!
