2023 Honda Pioneer 700 Forest

Comfort

• NEW TILTING STEERING WHEEL: New this year and standard on all Pioneer 700 models, adding a tilt feature to the steering wheel makes getting in and out a lot easier, especially if you’re taller or wearing bulky clothes. The new instrument pod tilts with the wheel, too.
• CONTOURED BENCH SEAT: One of the most-used components of the Pioneer 700 is the bench seat itself. That's why we gave it a durable covering that can withstand the frequent entry and exit of passengers, and the elements.
• INDEPENDENT DOUBLE-WISHBONE FRONT SUSPENSION: Just like our rear suspension, the independent double-wishbone front suspension features dual-rate springs for smooth riding, superior handling and all-day comfort. And with 7.9-inches of travel, you can navigate the kind of rocky, rutted and uneven territory other side-by-sides can’t.
• ADJUSTABLE PRELOAD REAR SHOCKS: You don’t want to compromise on handling, particularly when hauling heavy loads—and with our preload rear shocks, you don’t have to. The fully-independent rear suspension features a dual-rate spring and boasts 9.1-inches of travel. So even when loaded to the max, you’re assured predictable handling performance.

Engineering

• AT/MT MODE AND PADDLE SHIFTERS: With the Honda Pioneer 700 Forest, you can let the automatic transmission shift for you, or you can take charge and choose which gear you want for yourself via the steering column mounted paddle shifters—you can even shift from auto to manual (AT to MT) on the fly!
• HONDA AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION: A vehicle this versatile demands a transmission that’s ready for anything. With a heavy-duty torque converter and three hydraulic clutches, you get smooth shifts, a steady stream of power, and engine braking. Meanwhile, the two-stage shift map further optimizes power and torque delivery, even at higher RPM ranges.

Handling

• NEW ELECTRIC POWER STEERING (EPS): Our Honda Electric Power Steering has always been a groundbreaking innovation, and it’s even better this year. How? We’ve given it a new next-generation brushless motor, and new return-to-center function. As always, there are no belts or pumps to slip, break or leak. It’s a “smart” system too—you get more assistance when you need it, and less when you don’t.

Performance

• RUGGED 675CC LIQUID-COOLED ENGINE: Prepare to go further than ever before. Our refined chassis enables you to tackle terrain others would shy away from, with larger tires, long-travel independent front and rear suspension and huge ground clearance. The rubber mounted engine and exhaust system insulates against excessive vibration.
• 1,000-POUND BED CAPACITY: In many ways, this isn’t a just side-by-side. It’s a solution. Take the cargo bed—the 1,000-pound capacity is among the tops in the industry, and it’s made of a strong, durable construction. That means more cargo in fewer trips, saving you time. Now that’s smart.
• 1,500-POUND TOWING CAPACITY: Sometimes you need to tow things. Like, up to 1,500 pounds of things. So we gave the Pioneer 700 a robust three-quarter-ton towing capacity—strong enough to handle some of those jobs you’d normally use a tractor for.

Safety

• DISC BRAKES: Mud, turf, gravel – you can handle every bit of it with confidence and still stop with confidence. Our triple-disc brakes feature a patented scraper system that helps prevent debris buildup between caliper and rim. 200mm discs in the front, and lighter, 170mm inboard-mounted disc in the rear deliver stellar stopping power.
• DRIVER/PASSENGER PROTECTION: Staying safe is essential, both at work and when having fun. That’s why the Pioneer 700 is equipped with an Occupant Protection Structure, using large-diameter tubing and meeting the ISO rollover protection standard. Plus, for 2023, we’ve increased the tubing thickness to make it even stronger, and given the structure new hip bars to make getting in and out easier. In the cabin, integrated handrails, recessed top tubes and automotive-style three-point seatbelts with emergency locking retractors help keep passengers securely in place.

Versatility

• NEW INSTRUMENT DISPLAY: Our new instrument display for 2023 features an LCD screen that’s twice the size of the previous unit with larger text so it’s easier to read. We’ve also added a Trip B function as well as a battery-voltage readout and a tachometer array. The whole unit tilts along with our new tilt wheel, too. We’ve even changed the background color for improved visibility in direct sunlight.
• TILT BED: With the cargo bed’s large capacity and durable construction, we’ve made hauling heavy loads easy. So it makes sense that we’d make dumping the load easy, too. Thanks to the smartly-designed hydraulic assist strut, even one person can tilt the bed and dump the cargo.
• NEW PIONEER 700 FOREST EDITION: We’re really excited about this new trim for 2023. Basically, we take our Pioneer 700 Deluxe and trick it out with some of your favorite Honda accessories: a Warn VRX45 Winch, underdash storage, and a larger front bumper, all pre-installed at the factory. A second 12-volt outlet in the bed is perfect for chores, or when you're hunting, fishing, or camping. And to make it even better, the Forest Edition gets a special Honda Phantom Camo® color scheme.
• 37.5-WATT HEADLIGHT: Whether you’re up for work before sunrise or heading home late after a day on the trails, the Pioneer 700’s headlights will light your way. With 37.5 watts of power and a single filament, they have an excellent balance and light distribution, so you don't have to deal with dark zones or uneven light patterns.
• BIGGER CUPHOLDERS: You asked, we listened. The front cupholders in our 2023 Pioneer 700 models are upsized this year, and big enough to hold the most popular insulated tumblers. It’s a convenient touch everyone will appreciate.
• 450-WATT POWER CAPACITY: Every component on the Pioneer 700 is engineered to perform at the highest level. The alternator is no different—with 450-watts, it has plenty of power for everyday use and has enough left over for accessories that help you work easier, like winches, light bars and more. Always consult accessory instructions for specific power requirements.
• A VARIETY OF COLOR CHOICES: Some hunters and outdoorsmen are going to go straight for the new Pioneer 700 Forest in Honda Phantom Camo®.
• DOUBLE-LATCH DOORS: Knowing you’re driving a side-by-side built with safety in mind makes the adventure that much more fun. Our hard doors feature a double latching system designed after our autos. They work together with our roll-up side nets, helping to keep the elements outside and you secure inside.
• GLOVEBOX: All our Pioneer 700 models for 2023 feature more dash storage and a new, secure cargo net. In the cabin, a convenient 9.6-liter glovebox is bigger than ever to hold your essentials and keep them dry. The water-resistant door helps prevent the elements from getting inside, and features an improved latch, while the in-dash design provides good storage space, without compromising on passenger legroom.
