I will be buying one of these. I about pulled the trigger on a Pioneer 7004-4 last week but the lack of low range scared me away.

They are taking deposits now at some dealers. From what I could find they should be in around September. Not sure on the price, I am assuming (hoping) it will be reasonable looking at the 700-4 compared to other manufacturers.

Wasn't as reasonable as I was hoping so I left with the 700-4. By the time you added some accessories you would be in the 22K range; just a little more than I wanted to spend.

Can you give us a update on the Honda ? I'm also looking at the 700 or the 1000,but I really want to buy an artic cat or hisun, the polaris is just more than what I really want to spend plus the mechanical failures I here about, makes me go to the Hondas because there reliable, even though its not a true side by side like the others. I'm not going to race any of them, just ride in mud and the trails. thanks

The 700 has been bullet proof so far. I don't mud ride so I can't really comment there. I can say though that if you want to run bigger tires and play you may find it lacking power. It is a 3 speed with no low range. It has done me very well and I don't consider it lacking in the power for my tasks. It pulls good and not 1 issue to date. I don't see any problem getting 15-20 years out of it.

Correct, no belts on the 700. It has a torque converter like a vehicle. You could chain the tires down, put a brick on the accelerator and walk away from it; no worries. The 1000 uses a dual clutch and they have had some issues.

      3.59 Kroger’s in Montgomery Tx. 20 cents higher than most around here. Very unusual. Saturday they were 3.49.

      Travel Trailer 2024 2500 HD 6.6 Gas Engine ?

      By KARNUT · Posted

      Starting at 17 running parts for my father’s construction business to haul our equipment. Eventually doing shows, sales and training after purchase. I drove a minimum of 50K miles a year. Half hauling something. After retiring 30K miles a year to the last 2 years 15K miles a year. 2/3rds highway driving. The major contribution to fatigue for me is from anticipation and awareness. I just don’t relax. Too many idiots on the road. There’s two kinds. The group that never leave the left lane tied together afraid to let anyone in doing 80. They’re mostly on weekends. Then the left lane sleepers usually next to a tractor trailer not advancing. Eventually the tractor trailer will drift over the sleeper will wake up. The train moves and the tailgaters who are usually mad as hell. You definitely don’t want to mix with them. The tail wagging bumper puller’s with under powered trucks are holding the tractor trailer up. That bunch are dangerous. I usually pace ahead all that. Unless there’s a gap when I can chill and let the speeders pass. I tried all different types of driving. I stay to the right except to pass, it’s the law that’s getting in forced more now because of road rage. I was so happy when my wife didn’t want to do the camping life. I had enough of pulling for work. The family has a bus and fifth wheel. I haven’t driven either one since retiring. No thanks.

      Yesterday a suggested youtube video thumbnail caught my attention so I watched through it and it was a bunch of short clips someone gathered together of people pulling trailers, a lot of them were bumper pull holiday trailers and a pickup or suv pulling it. a few fifth wheels as well, some motorhome crashes also. The tail wagging the dog theme was quite evident in numerous self inflicted accidents that took out vehicles around them sometimes in the process as the unit finally swung around and flipped over in the middle of the highway. Or the other classic which literally could be called "I forgot the trailer was back there" in passing another vehicle on a multi lane one way freeway and then cutting back in line before the back of the rv trailer had passed the front of the passed vehicle and often in front of a tractor trailer and that never ended well. Or the wide kick out swing of the rear of a long travel trailer as they have so much overhang behind the axles and the trailer smashes into the side of vehicles in the next lane over ( typically sharp turns in city driving ). It makes one leery for good reason to be near an RV trailer after watching a video like that and be it on the highway, in town, or at a gas station where that rear end comes swinging around due to the fuel station being so cramped and not intended for larger trailers. I wonder how many officers have heard those words though "I forgot it was back there" as they investigate the accident LOL.

      Just because a person can buy a travel trailer or a motorhome doesn't mean they can drive it properly. My observation during my RVing years.
