MAHINDRA first drive - Roothy
Having taken the plunge and gone for the new Mahindra Pik Up, it's time to head out for a bit of running in. Yep, just an excuse to take the Karen camping and maybe run the little truck in gently. No loads, gentle speeds, slow gearchanging and brakes - you know the drill! But being me I can't help having a crack at a little bit of tougher stuff and now even Karen reckons we're going to need to 'make it ours' with a few modifications. Or more than a few. We will see! Got a feeling it'll all grow from here as long as the Mahindra keeps proving itself.
Stay tuned - and if you know anything that works from experience I'd love to hear from you. Thanks =

@JOHNROOTHROOTHY
@JOHNROOTHROOTHY 2 года назад
Right on all counts but looking at fixes now. Needs bigger shocks but might need to play with the mounts. Also I like the power delivery - very torquey even if not the quickest off the mark. I ride bikes so speed in a car isn’t too important. Towing might be different. Thanks mate

@bok1080 2 года назад
Great to see you have made the jump. I don't think you will be disappointed, I have been driving mine for 6+ years (and drove the 'farm ute' mahindra for about 7 before that), they are very capable off road (I don't do much of the 'recreational' off roading, but quite a bit of 'farm work', rough, wet, sandy driving and the odd bogged tractor extraction). Had a Landcruiser wagon get bogged trying to follow me up a muddy hill this winter, much to the embarrassment of the 'cruiser driver 😁. If you ever get the chance there are some spectacular places to visit with a 4wd over here in the West (especially here down south). Compliments of the season, look after yourself, and get out there.

Definitely following your trips with this pickup.. The Mahindra's are well proven on Indias rough roads, hills and Himalayan range as well as in asia and making a name in Africa too. The Mahindra Thar is another solid 4wheeler and especially the Roxor in the USA is making a big splash. Mahindra were also behind Ssangyong in korea with vehicles like Rexton that are well proven in England, Europe, Russia etc as a solid vehicle. You cant go wrong and I see a few selling in New Zealand too.

Similar abilty to the courier, except that front diff works better. Needs a body lift to clear the ruts.

Well as luck would have it I've been looking at these and wondering what you can do to them. Will be watching to see how it goes.

Can you just imagine the deal he would have got. A 70, 200, even a 300 series, Ranger or Everest, D-Max or Triton, at actual cost price just for the privilege of being the vehicle Roothy bought. And it went to Mahindra. Makes me think there's something here?

@JOHNROOTHROOTHY 2 года назад
Yes. It means I chose it and I’m keen to see how it goes. It feels right - just got to prove itself. 👍👍

Nice one John, like the handbrakes comment. lol. Curious to know how well it will tour at 110-120 and what sort of economy you get out of it.

@JOHNROOTHROOTHY 2 года назад
Yep me too. Cheap as chips so far. Cruises nicely - 4th is straight gear so two overdrives.

Looking forward to seeing what you do the with the 4x4 as a stock vehicle with basic mods like winch, spotties & tyres Not everyone has the dough to buy diffocks, lift kits ,duel fuel tanks ,duel batteries ,canopies and all the other stuff i don't have the money to buy. Just keep it simple brother 👌👍

This vehicle comes stock with a rear difflock. It looks to have the 2" lift kit fitted also. This with the pastoral pack gets a enough fruit to get enough basics to go out and enjoy. It doesnt come with all the bells and whistles, thats part of the appeal.

I'll start simple and see where we go with it - big believer in projects evolving rather than getting built in one hit. Then if it starts costing it's because it's proven to be worth spending on!

@JOHNROOTHROOTHY 2 года назад
Not sure on the lift kit - I don;t think it has one. Hope not because I need another 50mm lift already!
