Any late, incomplete, invalid, unintelligible, or illegible entries will be disqualified.

Each Entry submitted in violation of these Official Rules will be void. SCWA reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to disqualify any individual it finds to be tampering with this Raffle process or to be acting in violation of these Official Rules or in a disruptive manner.

The IRS has taken the position that amounts paid for chances in raffles, lotteries or similar drawings for valuable prizes are not gifts, and consequently, do not qualify as deductible charitable contributions.

RANDOM DRAWING / NOTIFICATION

Sixty One (61) potential winners (each a “Potential Winner“) from the Eligible Entries received during the Entry Period will be randomly selected in an electronic drawing (the “Drawing“) conducted by SCWA staff on May 16, 2024 at SCWA Headquarters 9833 Old River Road, Pinewood, South Carolina. SCWA Executive staff will be present to observe the Drawing. Odds of winning depend on the total number of Eligible Entries received during the Entry Period.

Prize Package 1 - 2024 Honda® Pioneer 1000-6 Deluxe Crew – Retail Value $23,000

BRING THE WHOLE CREW

The first part of getting any job right is bringing the right tools. And when you have big jobs to tackle, the 2024 Pioneer 1000-6 Deluxe Crew is definitely the right tool—because it lets you bring so much along! Gear, parts, people—the Pioneer 1000-6 hauls it all and then some. Load it up with six passengers. Load everything else in the full-size tilt bed, or hook up a trailer since you have 2500 pounds of towing capacity. And while the second row of seats is the first thing you’ll see, you won’t appreciate them until you actually sit back there. We moved the center-rear seat just a little forward so they’re the best accommodations in the house with a huge amount of shoulder room. And don’t forget our automatic Dual-Clutch Transmission (DCT) with 2WD, 4WD and Differential Lock, a high/low subtransmission, self-leveling rear suspension, standard doors, and a pre-wiring package that makes it easy to add Honda accessories like a winch, additional lighting, and much more. This year we have some new color choices, including our exclusive TrueTimber® Atera Camo. The Honda Pioneer 1000-6 Deluxe Crew is your side-by-side solution for big jobs—or big fun after the work’s done!

Features may include:

COMFORT

SEATING CAPACITY FOR SIX

If there’s one feature that distinguishes the Pioneer 1000-6 Deluxe Crew it’s this: the full-sized crew-cab-style back seat. There’s a massive amount of leg and foot room for the rear passengers, and the center seat in the rear is set a little forward, so you don’t bump shoulders with the passengers next to you.

BEST IN CLASS COMFORT AND CABIN SPACE

The new Pioneer 1000-6 Deluxe Crew doesn’t just carry more people, it carries them in unmatched comfort. That’s because of all the legroom front and rear, the staggered rear-center seat, the tilt steering wheel, the plus seating, the best-in-class shoulder room, and so much more.

PERFORMANCE

POWERFUL 999cc TWIN-CYLINDER ENGINE

Using the same Unicam® cylinder head design found in our motocross and Africa Twin adventure bikes, the class-leading 999cc liquid-cooled inline twin is more compact, and it still delivers the kind of horsepower and torque you’d expect from a flagship model.

2500-POUND TOWING CAPACITY

Have a big load to haul? The Pioneer 1000-6 Deluxe Crew offers 2500 pounds of towing capacity, along with the full cargo bed. So now instead of hopping on the tractor or taking out the truck, you can stay right in your side-by-side and tackle those bigger jobs with relative ease.

STORAGE

MORE UNDERSEAT STORAGE

The Pioneer 1000-6 Deluxe Crew has tons of underseat storage. The whole area under the front seat is open, and there’s more storage under the removable rear seat too. These are perfect locations for things like heavy tools, chains, tow straps and more that you use often, and carrying them here in our accessory storage bag keeps the bed available for other cargo.
