Which offers the better value with the 1k5? I think for me, I’d rather go with a base and spend the difference on the upgrades I see fit. I know the LE has some stuff you can’t add to a base though (hillstart, brake force, I4wd).
I bought the base and added what I wanted. No matter what model you get. It needs skid plates $800+ - , and 8 ply tires. $600.Which offers the better value with the 1k5?

It depends on what you want to add. With the leftover pricing I'm seeing on the LE model, it would be a better deal than my Deluxe. The LE includes roof, shocks, skid and A-arm guards and under dash storage all of which I added to mine. Plus under seat storage and the I4wd and associated extras. I would still change tires and add UHMW skid. The LE prices I've seen from Abernathy's is cheaper than the Deluxe with those added.
If you are a mudder and adding portals or big lifts, none of that stuff adds value to you. I don't think you can go wrong with any of them.
I would go with what you can afford and get in the woods! Wish you could get a Deluxe or LE with steel wheels. Cause the wheels and tires will be the first to go!Which offers the better value with the 1k5? I think for me, I’d rather go with a base and spend the difference on the upgrades I see fit.

When I can get a P1000-5, I’ll be looking to add a roof, flip up windshield, dual battery, winch (w/ synthetic rope), front and rear lights, snorkel (just to be safe), skids w/ A-arm guards, roof mounted gun rack, new wheels/tires and depending on what I can fit stock maybe a small lift or extended a-Arms (still researching that part). Price shopping, I think I can do all that for less than a 1-5 LE. The deluxe doesn’t offer anything for me over the base, I couldnt care less about pretty matching body panels for me to scratch up lol

I think you are using a bucket with holes in it, HA!Just to ensure we are comparing the same three-machines, base vs. deluxe vs. in 1000 P5 version, then I respectfully disagree with the assessment as noted, "The deluxe doesn’t offer anything for me over the base, I couldnt care less about pretty matching body panels for me to scratch up l". The difference between base vs deluxe includes body panels, but other options including and not limited to EPS, LED Lights, Radial Tires/Rims, those panels as well, etc. Not sure what prices you are seeing, but prices between base and deluxe is $1000, Build Your 2018 Pioneer 1000-5 - Honda Powersports
Overwhelming, the vast majority of people like EPS, hands-down. I suspect if you add the list of options you want as quoted "add a roof, flip up windshield, dual battery, winch (w/ synthetic rope), front and rear lights, snorkel (just to be safe), skids w/ A-arm guards, roof mounted gun rack, new wheels/tires and depending on what I can fit stock maybe a small lift or extended a-Arms" then you will benefit significantly from EPS, and think the marginal difference in cost is something you discuss with a dealer and looking them over closely including a test drive

I really wish you could just order one like a car, pick and choose factory options.
So I’m settled on a 1000-5, covers my eps since all the 1-5s have it. Guess when I said didn’t offer anything for me, I should’ve italiced me. I could care less about the fancy wheels and tires, I’d be putting new ones on it. The leds, while nice, lightbars aren’t that expensive. I’ll have to look into the door panel mod.
I’ve poured over that page a thousand times lol.Go here, 2019 Pioneer - Honda Powersports then scroll down until you see the "COMPARE MODELS" and click on it... It is there where all the units are put in a nice text box showing you the actual difference,

You guys are correct that all P1K5 come with eps. I chose the deluxe because of the LED lights, Aluminum wheels and preferred the look of the panels. I have no regrets and the rear door mod is icing on the cake. I have kept my wheels and just changed tires to an 8 ply. The other incredibly long list of mods (mostly this sites fault) would be added to any of the 3 models.
I would recommend the super Atv flip up windshield over the Honda if you aren't getting glass. FWIW.
