The heat is worse on the Pioneer 1000. The teryx is no where close to the heat the pioneer puts out. 35-40 minutes of riding and you are roasting in warm weather. No one will want to ride in the rear of a pioneer if it is hot outside. Fact. My friend has the teryx and it does get warm but not hot like the Pioneer. The pioneer blows heat out from behind the front seat and everything is hot to the touch behind there. You can spend about 1000.00 for fans and pipe wrap to try and combat the heat but it does not help when it is warm. Do not listen to anyone that says it changes. If you want to buy a SXS, go to a park and rent one for a day and then make your decision. I would not have bought mine if I had done that. With that said, I have a 2018 with low miles for sale for $14,000. Do not buy an extended warranty either, just get insurance for 35 dollars a month, which will cover everything. Any questions let me know.
