In a four-wheel powersports new-product announcement, American Honda confirmed the addition of a new, premium trim level to its flagship multipurpose side-by-side platform for the 2025 model year—the Pioneer 1000-5 Trail Special Edition. This premium version of the Pioneer 1000 comes standard outfitted with features that are typically only available as accessories, enabling owners to have a superior product straight from the showroom. Of course, other versions of the Pioneer 1000 are available as well—a total of seven in a mix of three- and five-passenger configurations—ensuring customers have options for any application imaginable.
“Since it came on the market nearly a decade ago, the Pioneer 1000 has gained a solid reputation as a capable, enjoyable side-by-side for exploring trails, accessing the outdoors and getting chores done around the worksite or ranch,” said Colin Miller, manager of public relations at American Honda. “Honda has always offered a broad range of accessories to help customers personalize their Pioneers, but some prefer the convenience of having those preinstalled. For them, the Pioneer 1000-5 Trail Special Edition represents the most premium multipurpose side-by-side ever offered by Honda, ideally suited to let customers enjoy their vehicles to the maximum degree possible.”
The same Honda announcement confirmed the return of several other four-wheel powersports models, including the hardworking Pioneer 1000-6 Deluxe Crew two-row multipurpose side-by-side, the versatile FourTrax Recon multipurpose ATV and the nimble TRX250X sport ATV.
These models are scheduled to arrive in dealerships in November.
2025 Pioneer 1000
Joining Honda’s flagship multipurpose side-by-side platform for 2025 is the Pioneer 1000-5 Trail Special Edition, a special edition that comes with a host of factory-installed accessories, offering the benefits of customization right off the showroom. For example, Special Edition owners can enhance their trail experience with their favorite tunes, courtesy of a weatherproof audio system that’s Bluetooth compatible and operated via a dashboard media controller. A roof and two-piece windscreen also come installed on this version.
The rest of the Pioneer 1000 lineup continues to be as popular as ever. For those who use their side-by-side for hunting, fishing or other outdoor experiences, the Forest delivers, offered in TrueTimber’s Atera camo pattern. Developed in partnership with the camouflage-industry leader, this pattern is exclusive to Honda in the powersports world. The remaining members of the Pioneer 1000 family are the versatile Deluxe and the cost-effective Pioneer 1000 EPS (both available in three- and five-seat versions), both of which embody Honda’s legendary quality and reliability.

2025 FourTrax Recon
While the 2025 FourTrax Recon is the smallest of Honda’s multipurpose ATVs, it still delivers plenty of punch for riders of all skill levels. Thanks to a torquey 229cc engine that’s compact enough to allow for good ground clearance and a low center of gravity, the Recon easily navigates rough terrain and tight, obstacle-strewn trails. Additionally, the little ATV comes with front and rear steel cargo racks that together can haul almost 100 pounds of farm or ranch equipment. Honda’s Recon is proof positive that good things can come in small packages.
