The 1000's engine is cooled by way of an air intake mounted high and under the hood. The Pioneer 1000 makes tracks with a set of 27-in tires beaded to 12-in steel wheels.

It has 1,000-lb (454-kg) payload and 2,000-lb (907-kg) towing capacities. Honda will sell two different Pioneer 1000 sizes, each in two trim levels, starting in the Northern Hemisphere fall of 2015.

The 1000-5 seats five people by way of the three-seat front bench and two QuickFlip rear seats, which fold flat when not in use. The 1000-5 Deluxe adds 14-in aluminum wheels, radial tires, LED headlights, and color-matched body panels.
