UTV Comparison: 2018 Honda Pioneer 1000-5 vs. 2018 Kawasaki Teryx4 vs. 2018 Yamaha Wolverine X4 

I got a pioneer and the power impressed me with 72 hp

whatever your budget is... they're all Japanese, lol

No it doesn't....

Rob your Kawasaki butt hurt is really getting annoying. They could have tested the Kawasaki Teryx Deluxe Grand PooPa edition and it still would have sucked. Those 4 headlights aren't going to do crap. Give it a rest!

"give it a rest" says the Yamaha fan boy douche bag who has inserted himself into literally every other post, like it's a paying job or something, to disparage anyone who didn't agree with him that blue was best. What a clown you are. And this is coming from a Yamaha person myself, all day long.

I was wondering that myself..

SE on Wolverines are literally just colors and graphics.

Yes polaris is 100% junk!!!! spread the word

Yeah I’m a Polaris and Can Am hater reason I say that is. I had a Polaris sportsman 570 and that thing blew 2 head gaskets and I also had front diff issues with the machine. It had the power but it wasn’t nearly as reliable as my 20 and 30+ year old Honda machines. I also had a brand new can am outlander 1000 not even a week after buying it, the thing blew up and if you knew me I keep my machines well maintained and like new. But for Polaris and Can Am they are the biggest piece of junk I’ve ever seen.

I have heard nothing but bad about Polaris for years.. just sayin! 🤣🤣🤣

Ex polaris owner here. Two 500 outlaws. I can confirm with 100% certainty that they are junk

DCT blows clutches very easily. Belt is cheaper to change and can be done in the field. Honda has to be towed to the dealership.

@@MassiveOverkill don't know where you got that information. Dct is a lot more reliable than Cvt.

Compact 4-seater comparison, not a bus-with-10-point-turnaround 4-seater comparison ;)

Not me, I hated my Pioneer.

rdmphd2 we love ours its so smooth and quiet compared to my friends rzr

rdmphd2 We just got our RZR 900 in Feb.,Mar. And lately when we give it gas or floor it... it won't go. Itll go maybe 5 mph if we do that.

sorry to hear that

@@ha8good maybe cuz seat belt need to be wear.

Polaris is for city boy's along with Can Am...they're all plastic and just don't hold up reliably. By no means am I talking shit either, they really are awesome rigs, but they're not reliable as the other machines pure and simple

Michael A the Honda is a 50% better machine...

No doubt but a score based on price should result in the Honda having a lower score being 38.6% more expensive. Perhaps they confused price with value.

That is the most expensive model honda they make you can buy a base 3 for 10.5

I agree. I think the Honda 700-4 would’ve been a better comparison with the kawa and yam... the Honda 1000 should be compared to other 1000’s. Like the rzr...

The point of price is VALUE

Well being that the X4 rides better than the T4 I guess it's even more comfortable for all day family rides, so it's even more perfect. I have no problem fitting a soft cooler in my X4.

The x4 back seating area is no where near as comfy or spacious as the t4. Not to mention the 3 year factory warranty the t4 comes with

I have 3K miles on my X4 and no problems. Not loud and not nearly as hot as the other two. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-M2VQk9wsDA0.html

MassiveOverkill and not nearly as fast 686 junk motor pos lol hahaha single cylinder sxs hahaha dumbass

Line the top of engine cowl with kill mat, problem fixed.

Dan A. I think they scored that just on cargo total being the Honda has a large dump bed. Even tho with seats up you have no cargo capacity.

Really, the terex has the most bed capacity with the seats up. And while the honda has very little bed capacity with the seats up, it has an enormous amount of room with them down, and still has a tilting bed. Not to mention, honda has a bed extender for the pioneer which can give you more bed capacity with the seats folded up.

@jman26 Pioneer bed has 1000lb payload, Teryx has 600lb payload

JisLegends It's also underpowered these days.

under powered, loud, hot in the cab ....they need to remake it before they are out of the game

Honda Pioneer is not over price, it has 999 c.c., wider, with Dual Clutch Transmission, can be driven in steering transmission, automatic or manual transmission in one, more torque, equip with Garmin Navi, dump type rear cab and many more that is not found to both Terix and Wolverine

700 can't get out of its own way. Way too underpowered.

It would’ve been. Price wise locally where I am the pioneer 1000-5 deluxe is at least $4k more but more likely $5-6k.

100%

Absolutely agree I think it's pretty crappie that they compared a base model Kawasaki and the other two Honda and Yamaha were not base models as you know being a Kawasaki owner the Ellie is much nicer it has for LED headlights and nice mag wheels like the other two and bigger tires

a little off topic but my 2012 Kawasaki mule diesel 998cc has been absolutely reliable and tough as I've ever owned.the fuel mileage is unreal. Kawasaki always seems to get the red headed stepchild treatment. the diesel is slightly slower at accelerating but will out pull any gas competitors.

Shadow Destined you got it wrong. Yamaha has the best engine breaking I’ve ever seen. The ultramatic does very well.

The Honda Pioneer DCT uses two clutches that are controlled by electronics and hydraulics.

Yamaha's 10 year belt warranty and 20 year, 100K mile Yamalube warranty is superior to Kawasaki's 3 year warranty, which I guarantee you'll use to replace your steering rack if not once, twice, maybe 3 times. Yamaha X2/X4 is superior: facebook.com/groups/WolverineX2X4/permalink/952041688327631/

It's called a soft cooler. If you need a case of beer to illegally drink with 3 of your 250 lb plus buddies I guess the Teryx wins. If you're a TYPICAL family of 4 (2 parents, 2 kids), it's (the X4) perfect. It wouldn't be hard to fabricate a tailgate basket if you really had to have that $300 Yeti cooler.

You make quite the number of assumptions there. Who said anything about "illegally drinking?" I do have kids, and the kids and wife like to act like we're moving in to places with the number of drinks we take when we ride, but I guess we can't let them go too crazy on Gatorade and water. I'm not the one who tested these with a Yeti cooler, the Yeti was in the video. The storage test on this specific video included firewood and a Yeti. You seem to also have an issue with the price of the Yeti...but a $20 Igloo Island Breeze from WalMart is roughly the same size and would have the same issue as the Yeti, physics doesn't lie. The middle seat on a bench seat of a UTV isn't comfortable for anyone for a whole day of riding. Thanks for assuming I'm a fat drunk with fat friends though!

Glad you don't fit the common demographic of partying beer drinkers. You don't need a full size cooler for your drinks, one or two soft coolers will work just fine. Even a tall water cooler used at sporting events will fit between the seats. I agree that the middle seat on a bench seat of a UTV isn't comfortable for a whole day of riding, which is why I like the X4. Never said you were fat, but the Honda/Wolverine X4 weren't made for 4 large adults (big and/or tall), they were made for a typical family of 4 (as I described above).

You know what they say when you assume........

MassiveOverkill I can see you don't want to admit it but with the Teryx 4 you can fit a family of four or four large adult all day long all four will be comfortable with enough room to carry gear.... With the X4 is absolutely no foot well room in the rear it is horrible however I'm sure that the machine is a fantastic well-built machine and the seats are carbon copy of the Teryx so im sure that they're good too

Absolutely agree with you 💯

You can change a belt out in the field, you can't rebuild your DCT out in the field.

A Honda with an actual gear-driven transmission will outlast any ATV with a CVT for decades down the road. It will be worth more to. I've had 4 Hondas, 3 of which are still in my garage and all 3 of those are DCT. Besides one CV boot replacement, not one has been in the shop for a failure of any kind. I've ridden in the Wyoming mountains and extensively in West Virginia. I just wouldn't trust anything else. You go ahead and replace your belt and I'll see you at the end of the trail.

Cause the comparison didnt include buses.

Braaap Tastic @ Very obvious you have never owned a side x side. All of these machines are junk compared to the Polaris. The biggest joke of them all is the Pioneer. All of these machines are great if you are taking your little kids on a trail ride, that's about all they are good for. LMAO

Braaap Tastic you're clearly a democrat as shown by your racist comment. Hose A is clearly 100% correct in that Polaris is far better than these asian sxs's....and that's coming from a can am guy. I've demo ridden all 3 of these machines and they're vastly underpowered, ride like lumber wagons and are far overpriced for what they are. The fact that polaris has more than 50% of the utv market share and has for quite a while speaks for itself.

Neighbors daughter burned alive in a rzr bitch... www.consumeraffairs.com/sporting_goods/polaris_atv.html

Braaap Tastic it's not polaris' fault that sombody fucked up. The rzr did not spontaneously combust. Either the person driving the rzr did something stupid or sombody else on the trail did something stupid.as for the visco lock hatred...if you beed a mechanical locker to get out of a situation, it's because you're not smart enough to keep the front diff locked with the throttle. Funny, but the winners at mud nationals every year never seem to be asian, do they.

Braaap Tastic yup.... NEVER EVER BUY A SHIT BOX POLARIS. TRUST ME. In over 3000 in parts in 3200km. I dont mud run. I dont roast the tires off in the mud. I grease every ride. Every 3 tanks of gas the uni filter is washed n oiled. Its just built really cheap and nothing seems to last. Front diff pinion bearing plate broke just past warranty.(stock tires) 2500 bucks. Both front axles broke (stock tires) just past warranty. Belt belt causing clutch damage... less then 500 km. Just past warranty. Voltage regulator over charging 18volts... ruined some of the wiring... back ordered... very very very very common problem... brake calipers are known to spit out outter brake pads.... common. I like riding my sportsman 1000xp but i gotta baby it or it cost me tons of money to fix it. Im 43 ive raced sleds and mx since 1980. Im a very skilled mechanic and all about maintaining my machines. Polaris is just junk. YAMAHA is my brand. I tried a polaris and lost hard. NEVER EVER AGAIN...

Yes! There is a guy on our forums that does just that. he has almost 10k miles on his Yamaha Wolverine X4 and not had a single problem. I have a 2020 Wolverine X4 XTR and absolutely love it.

@@WhatsMyGame Finally hit 10K! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-2FjDSepzeLg.html It makes a great daily driver.

@@MassiveOverkill You are the guy! lol

The X4 can be modded for more footwell room: www.wolverineforums.com/forum/162-wolverine-x4-general-discussion/18258-2018-blue-yamaha-wolverine-x4-5.html#post222282 I'm a size 11 and find the room adequate. Heat isn't an issue at all in the X4, BUT you can get free heat in the winter by lifting up the engine cover.

MassiveOverkill1 thanks for the info ...but it's a shame that a company wouldn't use that extra room from the factory! And force the customer to hack up a $18,000 machine!

Teryx is the way to go if you want comfort for everyone. And like you said who wants to buy 20k plus machine to chop it up.

Good input J Patt! I can see where you are coming from with the Teryx. However if you know you are not going to regularly have 4 adults, I personally wouldn't rate it as #1. But I also think we are talking about 3 amazing machines where none of them are a bad choice!

15k for the x4

plus you can't ride pick ups on the atv trails in my state of NH

And then do what stay on the road and go to motel? Thats not fun u idiot. Cant take tucks in woods

@@gsfbffxpdhhdf7043 learn English

awesome Dude1234 u forgot capital letter and period. Plus its an incomplete sentence. U learn english first. Then get back to me then i will learn spanish and fuck you.

How do you feel about the noise and the heat to that engine draws off

That's a great idea. We'll add cab heat to the next Comparison chart. Thank you for your input.

Well for some of us cold weather hunters the heat is very welcomed into the cab haha.

Compact 4-seater shootout, not stretch limo 4-seater shootout

biggest box when seats are down, most payload at 1000lb in the box and can dump

A bed extender cheaply and easily fixes that problem

A Wolverine X2/X4 will flat out smoke a Teryx modded or stock. Plenty of space between the rear seats and a large center console for storage unlike the Teryx. Teryx rides rougher than the X2/X4, is hot as hell, loud, and vibrates like a mother.

@@MassiveOverkill don't know what kawi you rode in or owned but mine didn't shake at all wasn't that hot and the ride was pretty comfortable but I ran soft up front hard to the rear so it would slide in the turns. Speed isn't everything I was after torq because after tires and wheels and 4 people your looking for a machine that gets up to the 25 to 45 mph range fast and holds it on tight trails and that's where the kawi did better than Honda and Yamaha

@@jshapiro34 These issues are well-known and MOST Teryx owners admit it. You must have never driven anything other than the Teryx. Look at any drag races between the Teryx and X2/X4 and the latter always wins. The X2/X4 has way more torque than the Teryx. You're in complete denial. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-0Af919vmDcA.html ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Do4pZI6iEMk.html

@@MassiveOverkill I've owned a rhino a 570 a teryx and now a artic cat for side x sides had zero issues with my teryx for 6900 miles and 3 years no heating issues besides 1 leg got a little hotter but nothing and I mean nothing compared to a yz450 or a 2 stroke baffle near ur shin kinda heat and rzr 570 over the bed got hotter actually when we compared them.....we actually had to put a makeshift steel grate to give cooler room to breath so it didn't melt all our ice in 4 hours.... actually melted the cleat to a Ozark trail cooler. So not sure what you have driven or owned but you sound like a Yamaha fan boy because having owned a rhino vs these newer machines and a friend still owns a 800 rzr these all pull better faster stronger and more torq and sorry but 4 people in a teryx vs a x4 the ride is way better because they have same seat as driver, leg room is there it seats stadium style like my Xterra so helmets don't clack sight line is not bad and the heat is to the driver not my cooler which is the most important thing to me because machine is some what warm in the snow without a 500$ heater.....the rhino was a dog could climb and carry stuff but I don't think even down hill it ever saw 60 might been lucky to see 50 The rzr was great till about 45 then 27s came and it was a dog after 35 ate belts easy fix tho and 50 inches with weight made it easy to flip. The teryx is stock fox shocks led lights and 27s pull some plastics and 400$ you reroute the ECU it will do 68mph it will run up anything hills to mountains may not be 50mph but it will get up it with 4 200lb adults and a yeti 45. And it always always pulled trails around 40mph and I never cracked my floorboard on rock kick ups like the rhino and rzr did.

@@jshapiro34 6900 miles, that's cute. I'm about to hit 11K in that same time span. Like I said, the majority of Teryx owners admit to the heat, sound, and ride issues and anyone here can Google it and see you're bias. Got news for ya. The X4 rear passengers get the same seat as the driver as well. More news for ya, X4 has stadium rear seating too. All anyone has to do is do a simple Google search and they'll see that what I'm saying is fact, and that what you're saying is not.

can't ride them on the trails around me

Does the Jeep Patriot or Frontier come with a tow truck?

I believe you didn't watch this vid cause they ended with "Blah,blah...The Wolverine X4 would be our top choice." Are you a Honda hater?

Michael A no I am not a Honda hater, just simply stating a fact. Many times on these reviews you can spot the winner before they do the comparison by who sponsors them.

Buckmaster ... You must of crawled out of a hole .

pjbuckmaster lets see, Honda has most HP, Dct transmission, unlocking rear differential. Whats the problem? Sounds like best machine to me out of the bunch. I have a couple RZRs so I could care less who they picked, but I will take a DCT over belt any day. One of my RZR has unlocking rear dif, its awesome, you can turn super tight, and not tear up your grass when driving around yard to load it up for a trip or just doing yard work. I unlock my rear dif when I go into town on pavement too. Its cool feature.

they were no sponsored Honda just makes better machines

Why didn't you wait until they had the parts on hand before you brought it in?

thats what i said, they said they have to take it apart to see if its shot, now that's what they do, since its fixed it works great now, I have faith once again in my Honda products. I hear there is still a backorder on those kits.

My recall was done in hour an i was on my way

This is a compact 4 seater comparison, not a stretch limo bus 4 seater comparison

Commander would have been a good comparison though.

not a convertible

Yeah, I'd love to see a Can Am Defender Max traverse some of the tight technical stuff. Kawasaki is garbage.

oh really? the can am defender xt hd10 is better than the kawasaki le two seater on rock climbing? serious question because im stuck between the two

The t4 le has 27" tires on em
