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.
For a similar model without the tilt bed, check out the Pioneer 500 for great versatility and value.
PERFORMANCE
With a new engine that’s both bigger and more powerful than our Pioneer 500’s, the new 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.
DRIVETRAIN
AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION WITH AT/MT MODE
You 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!
VERSATILITY
TILT/DUMP BED
The 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.
