Base model or Deluxe???

[Rohr84]

I am soon to buy a 1000-5. Is the price difference for the deluxe over the base model worth it?? Is their any difference between the two other than the color panel's, headlights, and the rims and tires?

Up to you on cost

That is the difference

I bought the deluxe, but if you plan on changing rims and tires might not be worth the extra cost. You can always add the colored panels and led lights later on.

I recently posted a link to a chart showing the differences.

P1000 - Deluxe vs eps

I think a lot of guys look at the cost to upgrade the features they want vs letting honda load it up.
Seams the big issue is wheels and tires.

Just curios as to how much the wheels n tires cost alone and the headlights n color panel individually???

How much $ do you have? lol.
Expect to spend 1000+ on aftermarket wheels and tires.
Headlights??? I would just install a light bar and not fool with that.
Panels are, (were) fairly cheap. Haven't checked lately.
Whatever your choice. Make sure you get power steering (EPS).

I would say probably looking at $1000 for wheels and tires not OEM just aftermarket

Led lights I believe are $400 OEM

And I think the panels can be had for maybe $250ish they are not expensive.

I like the looks of the deluxe and will keep my rims and tires until they wear out and by then it will be new excitement to put new wheels and tires on her. Make her feel like a new rig

X10 on the power steering, once you have it you will never go without it

thanks! I'm going with the deluxe! May even get the fox shocks.. is their a major difference in ride quality with the qs3 over the stock shocks.. it will be a family ride and was curious if the load leveling stock suspension helps when passengers are in the back??

Can’t speak to the passengers in the back I haven’t had a chance to try it with rear passengers yet and I haven’t set my shocks up yet.

BUT the improvement in the ride is significant even without them adjusted.

I don't have the Fox shocks, but I did ride in the back while my wife drove for about ten minutes and I'm still alive lol barely, just kidding the ride wasn't bad at all and my kids don't complain, but I do want to ride in one that has after market shocks to see if it's really worth the $15-1600 upgrade for all 4.

Either way let us know and check the what did you pay thread so you can see what people around you are paying maybe your dealer will match or might have to drive a little to save a lot

I bought the deluxe but in hindsight with everything I’ve done... I could have probably saved money with the base model and added the deluxe item I liked. I think it really depends on what the price difference is in your area. As for the shocks... I put on front foxes and went for a ride.... by that night I had ordered the rears. They’re a significant improvement.. also, a dealer on Facebook sells them for $1300 shipped to your door.

Go deluxe, trade stock rims and tires for a set off a base model. I used that trade with my dealer for a free roof.
