Here’s a perfect example of when less can equal more: the Pioneer 500. It’s the compact side-by-side designed to fit on more trails, even those with width-restrictions. That narrow 50-inch stance also allows it to securely fit in most full-sized pickup beds for easy transport, so you can go more places. This versatility is equally matched by capability, thanks to a powerful Honda engine and features like an automatic transmission with Automatic (AT) and Manual (MT) modes. The Pioneer 500 is small but mighty, ready to help you work less and get more done.
