P500 How did I do, another used 2015

[monaco]

Gents, let this be my intro. Been looking at the pioneer 500 for awhile because it's about perfect in size and cost for my needs.

Just picked up a 2015 with 80 miles and 12 hours on it, Honda roof and windshield, for 6000.

Ordered winch, ball hitch adapter and 27" Black Diamond XTR tires... a plow is in my future.

I also need to make some sort of cargo box for hauling firewood. Something sturdy that I can strap large piles of oak onto

I have a few questions but will put them in their respective forum sections.

Smooth shifting tip... When going to up shift, give it a fair amount of gas pedal maybe 20 to 40% and hold the shift paddle all the way back to the stop for a moment, and wait for it to shift before releasing, you will get a smooth shift every time without any bang or clunk. You'll notice it has a built in engine retard function when the paddle is pulled back all the way. Downshifting is an art, a little gas at the right time and it will be silent & smooth also.

Yea down shifting to me is the tuff 1.
