For thousands of side-by-side owners, the right tool for the job is a Honda Pioneer 500. It's big enough to seat two easily, but at just 50 inches wide, it can fit where bigger side-by-sides can't, letting you explore trails with width restrictions. That means it also fits into a full-sized pickup's bed easily. But the Pioneer 500 still offers plenty of power, and is loaded with features, including for 2017, a new automatic transmission with AT/MT modes. And then there are the best features of all: Honda quality and dependability.
2016 Honda Pioneer 500, The Pioneer 500 is a brilliant concept: Like a full-sized side-by-side, it lets you take a passenger along and has the off-road capability to get you where you need to go. But the Pioneer 500 is a new take on the SxS formula: it’s narrow, fits on tight trails, is fun to drive and easy to load into a full-size truck bed.
