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:

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.

      Remote Start Noise 2024 2500 HD Gas

      By BCGM · Posted

      2024 Chevrolet 2500 HD Custom 6.6 Gas Canadian built Truck  I tried to search for my previous thread on this topic but cant find it so my apoligies  for starting another one    #1   Since we have owned our truck purchased new it has this strange noise after using the remote start function  you press the remote start and you hear it start but right at the end of it starting it almost seems like it wants to start again after the truck is running .   There is no gap in time it is right at the end of the start . Almost sounds like when you have started a car/truck and its running and then you try and start it again and you get that grinding noise ,sort of     #2  You can only hear this if you are standing outside of the truck and near the truck  you cant hear it when you start the truck from inside  the cab . So it may very well be happening when starting the truck that way as in normally    #3   This only happens when it is started after sitting . For how long I don't know but it happens after sitting overnight for sure and it wont do it if you stop the engine after starting and then start it again  I have had it in to the Dealership before concerning this but they did not have the truck  when it was cold to hear it . Now its back in the Dealership left it overnight so they could possibly hear the problem . They said they tried and nothing happened . Well they did not know what they were listening for . I started the truck remotely and BINGO it makes the noise . Oh that sounds weird they say . We need to look into it ! I have left for this week at the Dealership    Does your 2024 2500 HD gas do this ?  Any of you fellas care to take the time and trouble to film this operation from a cold start  so I can hear what your sound like  Really  would like to know if this is anormal sound  Thank You Fellas !!

      2026 Z71 Forward and Rear Park Assist help

      By Slow · Posted

      2026 Z71.  The other day I was backing a trailer into the barn.  The alarm was going off just because the trailer was in the field of the warning sensors when you get too close to something.  For some reason now the warning alarm doesn't work anymore.  It used to go off when I was just normally backing my truck into garage.  I still have the guidelines in the back up camera.  Is there a button or something to push to turn the sound/Alarm on and off?  I have the touch screen in this truck.  There isn't a "P" on the dash except for the parking brake.  I can't find anything in the touch screen under settings or vehicle.  Thank you in advance.

      Well one of our most reliable vehicles was sold yesterday. The first and only I gave for free to a grandkid. If they got skin in the game they take care of it. My wife bought new. Five years later my daughter got it to use. We got it back and gave it to our grandson after graduation. He did zero maintenance just oil changes. When the AC quit he drove his mother’s car rather than get it fixed. Instead he just bought a beater and sold the Elantra.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By KARNUT · Posted

      I usually do as well or better than the sticker for mileage. Usually better going west than east. North then South. Wind makes a difference. I’m not usually a conspiracy theorist. But it did dawn on me I’m going by the vehicle calculation. Now that would be interesting.
