When it comes to top-notch recreational and utility vehicles, Honda's latest release – the 2023 Side by Side Recreational and Utility Series Pioneer 520 – truly stands out. As one of the most reputable brands in the power-sports industry, Honda takes innovation and durability to another level with this model.
The Pioneer 520 features a 518cc liquid-cooled single-cylinder engine, adequate for versatile performance, no matter the terrain. What sets this machine apart is its compact 50" width, designed to maneuver around obstacles and make tighter turns with consummate ease.
Honda's Pioneer 520 doesn't compromise on capacity either. Boasting a 1000-pound towing capacity and a sturdy bed capacity of 450 pounds, it's clear that this model is both rugged and dependable. The tilt/dump cargo bed even includes strut-assist, making loading and unloading an effortless task.
One of the major attractions is the vehicle's seamless TraxLok selectable 2WD/4WD. Switching between the two drive modes brings an element of flexibility, broadening the range of adventures you can undertake. The automatic transmission further simplifies driving operations, coupled with adventurous paddle shifters for that sporty feel.
But that's not all. Stability and ground control are two crucial features of recreational utility vehicles, and the Pioneer 520 out performs in these areas. The vehicle offers an independent rear suspension, ensuring a smooth and steady ride on uneven lands.
With dual 200mm hydraulic disc front brakes and 170mm hydraulic rear brakes, there's no compromise on safety and control. The generous ground clearance of 8.5 inches and a tidy turning radius of 12.8 feet ensures adaptability to all sorts of outdoor environments.
The design and technology of the 2023 Side by Side Pioneer 520 truly stand up to expectations set by its ambitious specs. Offering a blend of comfort, convenience, and pure performance, Honda has struck the right chords with this latest model.
At an MSRP of $9999, the Pioneer 520 proves that superior quality and advanced technology need not always come with a hefty price tag. Here at See Dealer Cost, we give you insights into dealer costings, so that you can snag the best possible deal on your next big buy!

When our family wanted to purchase our first boat we tried to find information for research. However the only information available at that time was sales brochures. All of the product information originated from the manufactures. The only price we could find was the retail price listings or MSRP (Manufacturer Suggested Retail Price). Magazines featured articles, and had really great photo layouts, it only offered product description and the (MSRP) retail price.
We went to the dealership where the sales guy held all the cards. The best thing he had going for him was our lack of information. We tried to wrangle on price without any real success. We bought the boat, but we paid too much. After that experience we felt there had to be a better way.
So we started this website because we did not want anyone else to feel disadvantaged like our family did that day. We discussed what we would like to see. We found experts in their fields and started asking questions. We then put together a team to research products and most importantly the dealer price. We started with boats and realized that there was a great need for information on many kinds of large purchase recreational vehicles and products.
Look when you visit a dealership for a boat, motorcycle or camper, if you have not done your research your negotiation for that item will start with the Manufactures Suggested Retail Price (MSRP). The highest price you could pay. The sales person will try to see what you know and size you up. If you do not have product knowledge including what the cost was to the dealer – you are going to pay too much.
See Dealer Cost™ offers product information that is in-depth and understandable. You can build your ideal product on line and see what it cost before you walk into a dealership. See Dealer Cost™ gives you the product options and most importantly the cost without the pressure of someone trying to talk you into something.
Knowledge is power.
After you find the product you want on See Dealer Cost™ and configure the options. You can save it to view or reference later. You can also print out what you put together (with the price). In turn you can use this information to negotiate your best deal.
What if the item is used? We are making available all the information we have gathered over the years so you can research to see the original cost. Even on used items you can use our site to negotiate your best deal.
Our passion here at See Dealer Cost™ is to give people power and knowledge. We were at a disadvantage once and we did not like the feeling.
By the way this great idea we had to build a website with this information. We had to fight to be able to bring this information to you. See Dealer Cost™ was supposed to be a one hit wonder. The manufactures magazines that they send to dealers said we would be dead in no time. They pounded their fists on their desks and said the consumer did not want or need this information. They said we would put them out of business. We were sued multiple times by manufacturers for this information. We are still here.
Why would they not want you to be able to see and use this information? They were afraid that you the consumer would be the true winner.
As it turns out – this information has not put anyone out of business. A consumer who is knowledgeable is confident buyer.
So we continue on with our team of experienced and expert people. We constantly update product lines and most importantly the cost so you have information to make your best deal.
We are proud of the team and proud to be able to assist you in your recreational purchase. We do not sell any of the items listed – we just gather the information.
The products include thousands of boats, motors, campers, motorcycles and more. We are constantly working to expand the information we present for you.
We all have families. We hope your buying experience is a better one than our family’s first purchase. Use this website to be a knowledgeable more confident buyer.
We hope we are a valuable resource for you. Enjoy your purchase.
Thanks,
