Low range seems fine. In first gear it tops out around 10 mph. I will tell you that in low range when it down shifts it will almost throw you out of the seat.

Here are some first impressions of the 1000-5. It has power, it feels much faster and sportier than any other utility sxs I have been on. The suspension is extremely comfortable and soaks up bumps. The led headlights are impressive, although the high beam looks to be setup for coon hunting as it lights up trees 40' up. The overall fit and finish is great as you would expect from a Honda. Couple of small complaints - the shifter servo is loud. So everytime it shifts up or down it bangs. The shifts are very smooth, it's just the servo making the noise. Also the door hinges let the door sag slightly so you have to lift up on the front doors to close. Small things, but overall great so far.
we noticed the sagging as well. Its something that Honda has been working on since we contacted them on Thursday about it. We had our shop foreman fix the passenger door so it wouldn't have to be lifted up anymore. For all of the rest of you that are waiting on your pioneers, hopefully they will have them all fixed before they ship the others out that should be arriving next week. we sent several videos and pictures to them and they started working on it immediately. HOPEFULLY it wont hold the shipment up. I have a feeling that was the "latch issue" that they stumbled upon early last week.
I am so happy you love your machine. I'm selling two of my personal motorcycles to buy the P1K3D when they hit.

Low gear is really noticeable when loaded with 5 people on a hill and hit the gas and it'll break the tires loose with ease.
Thanks for sharing the link @JACKAL , much appreciated.
I tried to get as many detailed shots as possible and put them in one place so we could all see the fine details that Honda won't post on their regular Pioneer page.
Looks like Monarch Honda? I bought my P700-4 there and have been debating selling my 700-4 and upgrading to the 1000.
Congratulations on being the first P-1000-4 owner in the area.
Hi Brennon, Can you tell me what the the lowest speed you can move along the flat in both low and high range please.

I wish there was. Demand is so high right now, that most dealers wont be coming off their prices. Once they have been on the market for a while, I can see better negotiations happening. Most people tend to think that if they pay cash for a unit, that they will get a better deal. Most of the dealerships money is made when you finance, so maybe that can be a bargaining tool for you?
then you got it for a $1,000 under what others are paying! GOOD JOB!
I can say that if you purchase your unit out of state, it will save you on taxes, so that in itself is almost a 2K break
Not exactly- I'm @ 17k after the freight and set up fees. I also bought mine on our tax free weekend so I didn't pay any taxes. I'm gonna try to haggle some tomorrow when I go pick mine up and sign the paperwork. On the Honda financing will they go 60 months or only 48 ?
do you know what tier you got? super preferred is 2.99 for up to 48, and 3.99 for up to 60
Yep, Monarch. They've treated me real well. I also bought my 700-4 from them last March. I really liked the 700, but liked the idea of the 3rd seat belt and double the hp in the 1000-5 more. Quite a bit of extra money, but was worth it! Go talk to Kevin at Monarch. He'll set you up. Tell him Dustin said he'd give you a screamin deal!
