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.

Omg the music...this would have been tolerable if it had the sounds of the machines and not that stupid music. C’mon people !

[WILLIMCAMERON]

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

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.

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

[KenVet]

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.

[carson]

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

[ryank]

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.

[rivalsports]

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

[Wadaryu]

10/10 for camera work, but minus several million for narration content.

[tommygunss]

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.

[mrlariata]

It is hard to choose from this line up. All seem great in their own way.

[markhouseholder]

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.

[mwinner]

I’d go Yamaha or Kawasaki. Great value with those two machines.

[ddak]

"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.

[davidmembrila]

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

[skibum]

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.

[peyters]

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

[MatthewSmith-nhuu]

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.

[PrairieSunsetRanch]

Kawasaki Teryx any day of the week! Kawasaki’s r made to be reliable. Enough said.
