These things are ugly, underpowered, and are claiming a heftier payload than GM, Ford, Dodge, and Toyota..... :thumbs: I wanna see them load one down with 2700 lbs in the bed! :lol:

Any other opinions?

Eww... That's my opinion on them. Even if the payload is heftier, I'd still rather have the fullsize GM. It looks like the kind of truck you'd see in a road packed with bicycles, cattle, and rickshaws. :lol:

didn't think I would find anyone on here that was like OH! I want one right now! LMAO!!!

this is a discussion on my local motorcycle forum, and I wanted to know what some other opinions were.

2750 pound payload in a 4200 lb compact pickup. that just doesnt seem ok.

 

it would be really nice if they would standardize payload and towing capacities already- theyre at least working on it.

It may carry that much, but do they say it will safely stop w/ that load?

 

206" long

 

120" WB

 

70" wide excluding mirrors

 

72" High

 

How do these dimensions compare w/ vehicles over here?

Laugh all you want guys. Their company is neither bankrupt, nor owned by the (Indian) government. :rolleyes:

Or is it?

 

what's the price? Ugly, sure...but if the price is low, they may get some buyers. If it's anywhere close to GM trucks and the like, they're kidding themselves...

 

Can you imagine walking into Auto Zone / Napa and saying "yes, I need a....such and such...for a 2010 Mahindrana" lol..."no listing".

 

Good luck to those who want an ugly truck with limited dealers, and dealer only parts, or get them shipped from aftermarket companies in India.

 

I must say there is a lot to like about them though...the engine sounds interesting, although I'm sure the payload specs are a gross exaggeration at best.

 

Just seems like one of those purchases...similar to shopping at Harbor Freight. At first you're like "oh wow yeah, this is cool!" then you get it home and use it a few times, it breaks, and you think "wtf was I thinking?!"

I guess my pont is, and this is sad, that american auto makers do not produce vehicles profitably. Thus, the situation they're in now. Mahindra on the other hand is expanding now to include the US market. Sure, these early generation ones will be crap many ways, they are fuggly, and thye're probably sketchy @ 80 mph etc. But their company is viable and growing, just like Hyundai and Kia, not like Saturn and Hummer. I wouldn't be surprised if you see their dealerships pop up where GM ones used to be.

It says "up to" 2633 pounds.

 

It's probably like the F-150. Of the hundres of configuration you can get with the F-150...ONLY ONE...can haul the claimed 3030 pounds...and it requires a " Heavy-Duty Payload Package".

You guys do realize that even if they can haul more than the 1500, they will ride like crap. Seriously they probably just put as many leaf springs as they could possibly put on the rear axle to make them hold that much weight. Its like a kawasaki Mule, sure they can hold a lot of weight, but they will practically make you die from the extremely harsh ride they have on even moderately rough terrain.

Will these trucks meet US EPA & NHTSA regulations? I seem to recal the Nano in India basically has no safety equipment.

 

I wonder how the trucks in this link compare to those built in the US. Click

 

How long have these outfits been making trucks?

About as long as they've been making tractors, apparently. And you see how popular their tractors are. Not very.

      Intermittent no-code issues on 2022.5+ V8 trucks — what did the shop fail to capture?

      By bluev8 · Posted

      That makes sense, and I think you are describing the real product problem. Capturing data is the easy part. If the owner or technician has to manually dig through five minutes of millisecond-level logs, the product has already failed. The device would be at the ECM harness, not at the OBD port, so I agree that data retrieval and event marking need to be thought through carefully. The way I am thinking about the architecture is: The recorder itself should not depend on a phone, app, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, or cloud connection to capture the event. It should always keep a local rolling buffer and lock the event locally. A button, phone app, or small cabin device would only act as an event marker. If the driver feels a stumble and presses the button 10–30 seconds later, the pre-buffer has to already contain the useful data. For data retrieval, the practical options would be a sealed service USB lead, Wi-Fi download, or a phone/cabin companion device. I would not expect the owner to remove the ECM-side module or work with raw files directly. The cloud or AI side would be for interpretation, not for capturing the event. The truck may have no connection when the issue happens, so the evidence has to be saved locally first. After that, cloud processing could help decode the data, compare it against baselines, and generate a readable report. For the first version, I would keep the automatic triggers conservative and objective: driver event marker bus-off error passive voltage drop / brownout device reset FIFO or queue overflow a normally periodic message disappearing side-to-side communication mismatch, if the topology supports that For “learning normal,” I agree with your point, but I would not want to overclaim it as automatic root-cause diagnosis at first. A realistic first step would be learned baseline comparison for that specific vehicle and operating condition. For example, a value would only be compared against similar conditions: RPM range load / MAP throttle position gear / vehicle speed coolant and oil temperature battery voltage AFM/DFM state, if decoded and validated Then the report could flag things like: this periodic message disappeared compared with its normal timing this value deviated from this vehicle’s normal range under similar conditions the same abnormal pattern repeated after the same type of event the anomaly occurred together with voltage, oil-pressure, misfire, or communication changes But I would still call that “abnormal pattern detected,” not “replace this part,” unless there is enough validated repair data behind it. So the intended product would not be “here is a huge log.” It would need to be an event package: what triggered the capture how much pre/post data was preserved what changed before and after the event whether the device itself reset, overflowed, or saw a bus error selected graphs around the event raw data only as supporting evidence From your perspective, what would make this kind of report useful instead of just another datalog? For example: What are the top 5 parameters or events you would want highlighted first? Would you trust a learned baseline for that specific vehicle, or would you prefer fixed thresholds? How much false-positive flagging would be acceptable before you stopped looking at the reports? What would a one-page report need to show for an independent shop to take it seriously? For misfire, AFM/DFM, oil pressure, or U-code complaints, what would you want the tool to flag automatically?
