The Pioneer 520 is the side-by-side that you’ll always want to keep close at hand. Its versatility comes from its wide set of features. Like a 50-inch width that allows it to access trails other side-by-sides can’t. The compact size means it can fit in most full-sized pickup beds. And the powerful 518cc engine delivers plenty of performance, along with our famous reliability. There’s seating for two along with a strut-assist tilt/dump utility bed and 1000-pound towing capacity. Choose from a wide range of features, like selectable two-or four-wheel drive, and configure your Pioneer 520 to fit your needs.
Features may include:
PERFORMANCEWith an engine that’s both bigger and more powerful than our Pioneer 500’s, the Pioneer 520 also features electronic fuel injection for effortless cold-weather and high-altitude operation. The engine is specially tuned for low-rpm torque, too. Coupled with an efficient five-speed automatic transmission, you’ll have plenty of pulling power.
DRIVETRAINYou can let the Honda Pioneer 520’s automatic transmission shift for you, or you can still shift yourself with its paddle shifters. You can even shift from auto to manual (AT to MT) on the fly!
VERSATILITYThe Pioneer 520 features a super-convenient tilt/dump bed. Measuring 38.7 inches wide, 25.9 inches long and 9.8 inches high, it can carry up to 450 pounds. An assist strut makes dumping easy, the tailgate opens flat, and the inside of the bed is set up for plywood dividers, or to hold milk crates or plastic buckets. It also accommodates our line of Honda Pro-Connect™ system accessories.
HANDLINGThe Pioneer 520’s 50-inch overall width is a huge bonus, whether it’s for width-restricted trails or convenient transportation and storage (it fits into the bed of most full-sized pickups). Plus, our rock-solid TraxLok system lets you choose either 2WD or 4WD, giving you the freedom to choose between lighter steering (in 2WD) and maximizing available traction (in 4WD) when you need it most.
