- The Beast Of The East-Is It The Honda Pioneer 1000-5 Limited Edition, Kawasaki Teryx4 LE, Polaris General 4 1000, Or Yamaha Wolverine X4? We went to Anthracite Outdoor Adventure Area (AOAA) in Coal Township, Pennsylvania, where the trails can be tight, technical, and challenging, to test the best multi-passenger family adventure rigs on the East Coast. We broke down the evaluation into 20 separate categories, where each machine was rated on a scale of 1 to 5. Here’s how it all went down. See the full 2018 Rec-Ute UTV Comparison at UTVDriver.com.

Not sure why everyone is hating on the video, yeah the review was weak... but the footage was outstanding! Great shots of the utvs going through trails
2 major differences that the Honda Pioneer 1000-5 LE has over the rest of them is the 6 speed tranny. With 6 hi and 6 low. (No Belts to burn up on the trail!) and it comes with Honda's I4WD which is an AMAZING system! I Own this exact model of Pioneer and can tell you from first hand experience that it is a BEAST! With the I4WD system it handles the Camso tracks with ease. I have done stuff snow machines have a hard time doing.
Yamaha has a 10 year belt warranty. You're not going to burn it up. How do you change a DCT out in the field on that Honda?
@@MassiveOverkill - Answer: You don't NEED to.
I have NEVER “ burnt up” a belt. Got 5600 miles on my first one, it never broke, I just figured it was time. 2nd one with Teryx, I’m at 4390 miles, just checked it and still within spec.
My family has had a 2012 Teryx 750 since new. I can honestly say they do rock on the trails specially the early ones being so utility driven too with the bed, hitch, and what seemed like a overly built frame and suspension components. Yeah it was burning oil from day one but it really handled well on trails, it was mostly used for yard work and it idled for half of its life In the hundreds of hours before it finally went boom last year. The thing I love most about the Teryx was it wasn’t some crazy wide machine, like the early Rzr800s it is something that is still nimble and skinny enough for your average atv trails.
Boom?
Bought a 2023 Yamaha wolverine x4 850 xtr. Great machine for seniors, we traded our 2-up atv or would have quit motorsport. Passengers fell asleep once while cruising a rail-trail being so quite and smooth.
I have the Teryx 4 because I wanted comfortable seating for 4 with a shorter wheel base than you get with a razor or Ranger,, That being said I would have been perfectly happy with any one of these machines. I say buy what you like that you can get the best deal on
Just bought a 21 Teryx le today for country cruisin and trails. Its comfortable and a good price. It is loud in the cabin and brakes are mushy but adequate enough with engine breaking. Had considered the can am x3 turbo r, but this kawi is more family friendly and suits our needs fine, got the wife to ok a krx purchase next to supplement our off-roading adventures, so far love the Teryx
We had a 20le for two years. Zero issues
We like our teryx 4, wish the engine wasn't so loud but when your scooting around you don't really notice. I added a fan under the drivers seat to pull the hot air out of the cabin and out the side, best mod yet when it's hot out.
Omg the music...this would have been tolerable if it had the sounds of the machines and not that stupid music. C’mon people !
Whats Music?
Jalvan Peru what’s music ? Wtf you talking about ?
I agree !!,
I had to MUTE it
10/10 for camera work, but minus several million for narration content.
Thanks for the review and video don’t pay attention too all those (ladies) making negative remarks getting all but hurt because there machine wasn’t #1
The pioneer has no storage in the bed with the seats in use. And the redux sound isn’t that bad. But every single one of those are great machines. No doubt
"The Yamaha is the only one with a front sway bar"...? Did you even LOOK at the UTV's tested? The Teryx4 has a front sway bar too. The 1m 41s of black screen at the end was the best part.
Love my Pioneer 1000-5 trail.but for 25k out the door it should come standard with roof and windshield. And for top trim models, Honda should give the option for manual diff lock or i4wd.
Decent review. Most of my ATV's have been Yamaha's. But just bought a brand new 2019 Teryx4 camo for $10,700. I can do a ton of upgrades with all the money I saved.
td li sell it and get a honda
@@carsonjohnson1845 I Wouldn't.
I would
I don't know about these models as to actually have ridden them but I hear a lot of positive reviews on the Teryx and the Pioneer. I also know Yamaha is a highly recommended brand . I have owned Honda's and my brother liked Yamaha , he could FIX JUST ABOUT anything . He also liked Yamaha and Kawasaki. I haven't owned a Polaris but I see a lot of people buying them so I guess it comes down to your individual taste needs or you may be loyal to a specific brand like me I love old Honda's and most of the old brands are really reliable if you do good maintenance. These ARE some awesome machines. I can't wait to get my old Honda 200 Big Red going really SOON. Good 📹 but hearing these beautiful sidebys would be sweet. ☝
You need to revisit this for 2021 and now include the RMAX4 (which will blow everything else away) and newly redesigned 2021 Wolverine X4. Sure you can throw in the underwhelming Teryx4S as well.
I have the first gen wolverine I love has never let me down and can go through some nasty crap. My buddy's with Polaris rzr's are impressed with it as well. I really want the x4. all these bikes are good in there own way not putting down any of them. But Yamaha had me 100%. Great belt drive system out there.
They are nice bikes
Laquasha Green most Canadian’s call all atvs bikes. I wasn’t being rude towards your comment.
Laquasha Green wtf are you talking about 😂
Laquasha Green 😂
@@mbm460ns9 wow she told you Haha. You damn racist 😂
Hey my pioneer 1000 wins with me. Don’t care what anyone says. If you like something else I’m happy for you. Why can’t you be happy for me. Not everyone wants a fast machine. I researched them all before I bought it. It seemed to be just what I was looking for. Not saying it’s the best. Couldn’t tell you what’s the best. The Yamaha does win a lot of comparison reviews. If everyone liked the same thing just think how boring that could be. Buy what you like and don’t let anyone persuade you otherwise. Never claim to have the best it will bite you in the as? every time.
Pionner 1000 is a badass machine man!
I have a pioneer that I love for work,,snow plow or tow with its dct but for sport driving I test rode a xp1000 and was sold. 2 machines for 2 different uses
I wanted to like the Honda Pioneer but after going to look at it and sitting in it I can't stand it. It's more like a tractor than a side x side.
I have a 2011 Polaris Ranger that I wish I had never bought. I'm considering a Honda, but will probably go with something smaller like a Pioneer 700.
@@ericsmallwoodd3977 You should test drive a Wolverine X4 then.
Kawasaki Teryx any day of the week! Kawasaki’s r made to be reliable. Enough said.
I’d go Yamaha or Kawasaki. Great value with those two machines.
mwinner101 yea and bullet proof
I love my 2016 teryx4
Why not honda? You can get a pioneer 1000 right cheap, if you buy a new previous year model. My father paid 11,200 for his pioneer 1000-3. It doesn't have eps or paddle shifters, but does come stock with 27" tires.
johnnyhb89 Honda makes awesome stuff, but it’s at least $5000 more on the MSRP. If you can get a deal on one then that’s cool too.
@@johnnyhb89 Why not Honda? Well, I'm a huge Honda fan going all the way back to the 80's with my first 3 wheeler BUT... they missed the mark for me. I wanted to like the Pioneer. When my wife and I went to look at them and sat in it, it felt horrible. I felt like I was in a tractor. For me it is between the Teryx and the Wolverine and the Wolverine is just a more refined machine.
My grandpa has 3 Kawasaki teryx and they are definitely the best at trail! One time we went up a hill that was so steep a Can-Am maverick almost tipped. But also they were going really slow lol
I can only speak for the General 4, which is a blast to drive and very useful with the separate dump box. The headlights are terrible, but are a direct swap for RXR XP LEDs (and minor wire splicing) made a huge difference in addition to the 42" lightbar I had. And the review was correct, it is a BUS on tight trails. I definitely had to turn later in the corners to make sure I didn't side swipe the trees. It was also more cumbersome for snow plowing as it wasn't as agile, but it did a great job. It is what it is. You will have those challenges with a Crew. I would buy another, but I am eager to try the others that are in this review.
It is hard to choose from this line up. All seem great in their own way.
Mr Lariata get the honda
Honda will keep going wile the others is sitting waiting on belts
The terryx has a wet brake system. It’s very reliable and you don’t have to service them as often as other vehicles. Idk what the whole “needs updated brakes” was all about.
What the heck were they talking about? I have had NO issues with mine.
Kawasaki’s wet brake system is fantastic. I live in Canada and I never have frozen wet brake
Absolutely agree with you there great brakes
Teryx has very reliable brakes, but when riding fast and aggressive, the other machines do have better stopping power than the teryx.
Yamaha has me. The trails I run won't like the long Polaris and I've heard many complain about the noise of the Kawasaki and the transmission of the honda.
I like this type of review layout. I don’t like hearing people talk.
You can’t please everyone! What someone thinks is the best is what they feel and there experience .... get whatever .
Yamaha has the best powertrain imo
JDRTRM JDRTRM no honda
Yamaha has a great engine but the honda combo is better
@@calebdorsey7591 None of the competition offer a 10yr belt warranty if its the rubber band clan . !
Vortex offers the best warranty in the optics world but they are far from the highest quality manufacturer. That said I like the yamaha, but the combination of the dct with paddle shifters and the i4wd system make the honda my choice for durability and control on trails.
@@calebdorsey7591 Durability. They all break down at some point whether you drive hard or soft. Control , you must be a younger human that hasn’t really experienced more then what they offer in the past few years . But I like them all . Owned many models ,and still do .
The curb weight on the Pioneer is 1649 lbs, not 1109.
Ryan Rose ride red
Really nice review, good info and nice footage, add a human presenter to take it to the next level
Very cool comparison
That was a terrible review of only a partial field. 2 of the 4 had Bighorns but you liked them better on the Teryx? Also the Teryx has a front sway bar like the Yamaha. You only mentioned the lack of cargo capacity on the Teryx but what about the total lack of storage when all 4 seats are being used on the Pioneer and Wolverine?
Total shit review.
And 12" of ground clearance is bad but not 10.7"?
@@A11ium exactlty. brought to you by wolverine
@@nathonsmithson3024 Clearly you have not driven the Wolverine.
LOL I was gonna point out the Pioneer is the only one without a front sway bar........but I see that has already been well covered in the previous comments
What the heck happened to 'heat in cab' category? Good review btw ;)
My kawasaki will cook you in the summer and comfort you in the winter lol. My buddies pioneer is the same way but great machines.
Honda addressed the heat problem on the pioneer 1000 with a recall. It helped a little. But didn’t cure it. At least the seats don’t get hot now.
I would take any of these four and I have the Kawasaki Teryx 4 and like it, but it is a little loud. Listed price point seems high on the Kawi and Honda for this review. When I was looking for a SxS the Honda was around $17K and the Kawasaki was $15K. All the rest were too high in price versus these two.
Had a Teryx and it road like a tank! Did last long.
Good to hear, I just purchased a pre-owned very well maintained 2010 Teryx 2.
Rear wet break system on the teryx is the best and does not need and an upgrade, they should all have it.
Anyone who's installed larger tires will tell you differently
MassiveOverkill why is that?
Because the stopping power isn't adequate enough when you install larger tires.
MassiveOverkill well that’s kind of to be expected right? As far as maintenance and reliability goes it’s probably the best system for what these machines were intended for.
You don't hear of those putting larger tires on other machines complaining about braking problems.
For a long term purchase of something that will last and be a tank in the woods i would definitely buy the Kawasaki.
Then you know absolutely nothing about durability
@@justinhyatt6654 Ive owned enough Polaris's to know all about it.
@@JohnnyRebKy Yes, polaris is junk. Durability has to go to Honda tho. They last forever.
Justin Hyatt I agree. Rode Honda all my life. Been riding since the 1980s. Anything else you think I know nothing about??
@@JohnnyRebKy I'm sure there is plenty
You should update this and have 2021 or even 2022 units!
Forgot the can am commander but if choose the yammy anyways lol
The Dubya no honda
I think it was a great video thank you
Your dead wrong I own a 2018 tyrex and it has a front sway bar
yes i love mine have over 500 miles on it. traded a rzr for it.
tom edmiston I had 3000 miles on my 2018 Teryx and inspected belt recently only to find out it was in excellent shape...
@@pajamatime5750 any updates on the Kawasaki??
MR Who just about 4000 miles. Nothing but oil and diff fluid changes.... I hit a bit of a decal off with a pressure washer and the dealer replaced it under warranty.... Otherwise this things been unreal and obviously the decals was my fault haha! Would totally recommend one. A convinced a friend of mine to get a left over (new) 2019 this spring. He’s got over 1000 miles already this year alone and has only changed oil as well.... He drives it often loaded with his entire family and gear for picnics and hasn’t had a single issue. Both of us are very impressed with the Teryx.... Plan is to change oil late this fall and inspect belt again.... Should have 4300-4500 miles on by then!!
Get a honda
Yes Yamaha
Can am Dennis 68 Can Am. No honda
I choose the Honda blindly- I have a 1998 quad - nothing has broken
Why no can am commander?
I'm a Kawasaki fan but your right the can-am commander should have been included, I think the commander is a dam good machine as my brother had a 2012 commander 800 xt , I loved it.
I have a Ryobi 600 MX!
Teryx for the win!
Kawasaki in my opinion is the best and we have pulled countless pioneers.Me and my dad sunk it almost over the steering wheel and it started upright after
The weight measurements on the Honda are off. 1109 lbs? 1709 lbs maybe?
where's Cam-am?
On the train tracks with the other limousine\buses. Can Am doesn't know the term 'compact 4 seater'
MassiveOverkill but the textron havoc
COOL !!! GREAT INFO 👍
Pioneer best cargo? Only when the seats are down.....that thing wont carry 4 people and a cooler at the same time!
That is true. Mine won’t unless someone wants to put it in their lap.
lots of ways around that
You must hate honda enough to even post this. Only when the seats are down.... best cargo. don't see how it still isn't best cargo.
I'd have to go yamaha on that one, the rear seats fold all the way forward, and even with them back you can still load a ton.
wouldn't the pioneer 700-4 be a better apples to apples comparison? even in the dimensions...
700-4 can't get out of it's own way it's that underpowered.
I wanna get one of those but im a city boy so I can't go offroading
I have a Porsche. It is so much more fun than my Teryx. Of course I don’t drive it in rain, snow, mud, gravel, sand, woods, hills, the beach, the sun, dirt, rocky terrain, potholes, up trees, down cliffs, thru rivers, water obstacles, low clearance areas, stumps, desert, swamp, marsh, dunes, mountain passes, snowmobile trails, hunting, fishing, camping, remote areas,
lol
You picked the winner with the lowest ground clearance. Good luck with that.
U put a 800 rex in a 1000 class .??? What a review.. I'd still take the rex over all.!! #teamteryx
Music?

Wolverine or Teryx. Rest are in the dust.
All I can say is I've owned a Honda atv since 1999...and it's still going strong.....so I would have to rely on Honda again....
You're missing out. Worked at a Honda and Yamaha dealer for years. The Yamaha atvs and sxs outclass the Honda in every way. Rebuilt many Hondas, never rebuilt a Yamaha. In the two years I was a mechanic Hondas with electronic shift were always coming in with problems. I rebuilt 3 Honda pioneer subtrans. The recalls on Honda outnumbered Yamaha close to 10:1. The only time Yamahas came into the shop was for service and tires and the occasional repair. Hondas were about half service and half repair. Honda is a good manufacturer, but miss the mark on a lot of things nowadays.
@@GreyFox250 that's fine....I'm just sayin I've had my honda since 99 and still going....I would say these days are alot different...it's like old chevy trucks ...the old ones were great and now they suck...Ford dodge etc...and yeah I've heard lately the Yamaha generators are the best...I heard that from a salesman that has sold them all.
@@truspirit1925 hey if there is one thing I can understand, it's loyalty. We need more of it in the world today. I would agree on the generator as well. We sold those also and the Yamaha generator comparison to comparison (2000w) to the Honda was better in every way except one. I will say that comparing the 2000w generator, the Honda was 10x easier to get the carb off and on than the Yamaha. But if you're properly storing you're off season fuel, it won't matter anyway. If you ever find yourself in the market for another machine, consider looking at the Yamaha. You might find your next 1999 Honda but it's got a Yamaha badge instead. God bless.
You forgot the artic cat havoc
1:44=HONDA PIONEER 1000 5 SEATER EPS💎SWEET
coby PORSCHIFER rid red yessir
Yes honda
Have fun putting 4 or 5 people in the honda or yamaha with the "bed" loaded and seats removed. Kind of nice you left the seats up using all the bed storage, but gave em best in class storage?? Get some adults next time you review.
X4 has space between the rear seats and center console storage unlike the Teryx. It has plenty of space with 4 adults.
I've owned enough Polaris machines to know they are junk.
Mine was junk too. Hard time to get warranty to repair it.
No John Deere no Can-Am
I agree the general didn't fit into this category either this should have just been a comparison of a Teryx 4 Wolverine X4 and a Pioneer 1000 5 simply because of the obvious they are all compact multi-passenger machines the general is the size of a bus!!!!
Kind of ridiculous to watch this just music nothing explained we don't know which one is which or anything but God-bless everybody
This is terrible review
Music is terrible vs letting us hear the machine work
They nit pick one machine for a issue not the other like kawi space is limited but the Honda has legit big fat 0 space when all 4 seats up the kawi is the cheapest and best warranty off the lot the general is the most expensive and largest machine.... You had a great course to show us these machine but huge let down a 4 seater review is legit give us 4 people in the machine let's see knees grab bars maybe cup holders the squat ground clearance issues handling
Price warranty size trailer needed to haul it payloads ect idk about y'all but my machine went anywhere I had extra fuel water belt tire and my backpack with other trail gear
J Shapiro Honda is way better than Kawasaki. Even though it’s the cheapest and has the best warranty doesn’t mean it’s the best. Good job Kawasaki, but it’s ride red for us!
Tester: the general handles great but needs taller tires for more ground clearance.
Owner after $400 investment:
it went over the rocks but it handles like 💩
yanmar brahma #1
spirit honda
We're the fuck is the can am
terrible review. the winner wasnt fastest. didn't have cargo space to speak off,no dumpbed,the least ground clearance ect. brought to you by wolverine. oh and i love how the mention the lack of ground clearence on the general yet it was more than 2 and olnly 5/8 less than the tallest.
Nathon Smithson suck it up
Fastest on the trail. This is the East Coast winner, where all that extra HP that bus of a 4-seater becomes useless. Its ground clearance is fine when you consider it fitted with equal-size tires as the rest and that wheel-to-wheel distance has a BIG factor in usable clearance. Having an extra inch of clearance doesn't matter when your wheels are a bus-length apart from each other. The General is the slowest when it breaks down from your reverse chain blowing out.
What does being the fastest have to do with the quality of a machine? Typical RZR fanboy that wouldnt know quality if it smacked him in the head.
@@MassiveOverkill sorry i replied to the wrong guy
@@VitalYFZwolverine s wont hang with cam am. popo or artic cat. you start climbing real hills and youll miss the power in a hurry
east cost doesn't have a clue on quality. out all 4 of those the Honda pioneer has the best repair record and lest problems and no belts to replace ever. I would have to go with the honda with the locking front and rear diffs as well. and i own Polaris. dont trust this review.
You're delusional. Yamaha has a 10 year belt warranty. You can blow a Honda DCT very easily. Facts matter.
This was a pitiful review with a clear objective of picking the one that paid you the most how do you compare multi-passenger four-seat machines and then suddenly transform them into 2 seat machines and say they had better storage !!!!!

Wrong again. Kawi wins this comparison.
am i the only pioneer 1k-5 owner that couldn't give a rats ass how comfortable my rear passengers are? the grandkids are small and have no issue.i told my middle son,if he's uncomfortable,feel free to buy yourself whatever you want.i bought mine primarily for working the property.honda wins that category hands down.today i'm bucking and limbing a blown down tree and hauling it all to the burn pit and woodshed.can't do that with the kawi or the yamaha.
Yes you are the only Pioneer 1K-5 owner that doesn't give a rat's ass how comfortable your rear passengers are. Yes you can actually haul wood in an X2 or X4. Your Honda doesn't have some sort of patent on that.
@@MassiveOverkill you can't haul in an x2 or x4 and you know it. you got the wrong machine if you have one for working a property and you know it.you don't own a honda so shut your face.
