MAHINDRA PIK UP AUSSIE LONG TERM REVIEW - Roothy
Having tested most of the new dual cabs in search of a new 'daily driver' the Mahindra Pik Up stayed the longest - a whole year! - and is my favourite so far. Mahindra is Indian made and the quality of build is excellent, the basic design is strong and as simple as it gets in this class and I guess the real decision will be made after I've had a look at a few more and then - arrghh, reached for the wallet....
Would love to have a go at modifying a Mahindra too - so far it's the only one I've felt that way about.

We bought a Mahindra jeep in 1989 it's still running. And Mahindra pick-up is used heavily here due to bad terrain. In some places with the rough road that is the only capable pickup that can transport goods.

@LockyourHubs4WDing 3 года назад

While the Toyota 79 cost twice as much, you'll definetly recieve more of it back from resale when you move it on. Also as the Mahindra looses towing capacity when loaded with a GCM of 5150kg and a GVM of 3150kg the towing capacity goes from the already low rating of 2500kg braked to 2000kg. Which ironically is the same towing capacity as SWMBO's Zook Grand Vitara. I think that speaks volumes for the vehicle. Oh and fully loaded 79 looses 0kg from it 3500kg towing capacity fully loaded.

@lauchlanmenegon5916 3 года назад

The mahindra being only 32k or there about... if it was to last 10 years I don't think you have really lost that much...

@Jacobtheunwise 3 года назад

A 79 near me is 100k minimum so i cpuld buy 3 mahindras for the price. You cant compare the 2. This is better off compared to the gwm or the ldv the cheaper 4x4s

@micknoname6466 3 года назад

A bit sad that Roothy doesn’t address these points yet people see him as providing a no BS review of the vehicle. In a time that sees more and more people hitching up their van and hitting the highway (as opposed to the overseas holiday) you’d think that a bloke as ‘in the know’ as Roothy is, would point this stuff out, wouldn’t ya??? It’s just a paid / sponsored advert.

@-Awareness 3 года назад

You pick the right tool for the job... if you want to tow very heavy loads and caravans etc. frequently, then of course a big v8 79 would be the right choice... but if your looking for off-road capability in a dual cab without the need for a tow horse or the ridiculous price tag, then this very well built farm truck is a perfect choice...

@micknoname6466 3 года назад

@@-Awareness Well, if 2000kg is your limit your tool is like a shifting spanned bought from Coles rather than a Sidchrome 👎 You’re only gonna be towing the smallest single axle vans on the market. And with a rubbish departure angle, you’re not towing them thru anything rough.

@grahamj1935 3 года назад

I will back you Roothy. I actually worked for Mahindra AG where I sold Tractors, XTV's and Cars/Pikups and had a pik-up as my company vehicle. I spent less on diesel than when I had a Colorado not only that the places I took the pik-up, the Colorado struggled. Which I think weight had a huge factor the pik-up is lighter and more agile. You can get lift kits and engine tunes for the pik-up which the only things out of the upgrades available I had done were a lift and bash plates. Mind you just for the record I had the previous model in a 5 speed 2.2mHawk T/Diesel and alloy tray. I had the current shape for a short stint but didn't get the chance to treat it like a dirty 4x4... Great review Roothy no fluffy over complicated wording to describe this ute.

The thing is that in India reliability (meaning here- least unexpected visit's to the service center) of such cars has been such a huge factor that people won't buy the car from a trusted brand if it has issues.

The issues with that model were pretty well known, electronic 4wd selector exposed/front suspension mounting bad. Those issues were rectified with the next model as far as I am aware.

@andrewperry605 3 года назад

well apart from the fact that you like Harleys and not Ducatis ;-) message received. i've got a gen 2 pajero. lsd rear makes a big difference. what you say about comfort and a locking rear is quite compelling. sure it's ugly, 4wd's aren't pretty. pretty sure my missus didn't pick me for my glamour either

@jonathandalton2921 10 месяцев назад

i've never understood the aussie compulsion to replace proper bins with those short shallow ute trays. the standard bin has plenty of space., even more in the single cab model.

@crazyharry1586 3 года назад

Just on price alone everyone looking for a dual cab should take one for a test drive. Us aussie's have a bad habit of taking one persons advice or judgement as gospel. About time we all grew a pair, stood up and make a judgement based on our own experience by test driving the Mahindra. It is all good to listen to others but they won't be driving the vehicle so we/you need to do it yourself :) Cheers Roothy and keep the vids coming

What a incredible truck. I can see why they are not being sold in the US. It would easily crumble the sales of leading brands. I love the fact how tall the truck is. It's definitely tall people friendly compared to the crappy midsize American and Japanese counterparts sold in the US.

My stepdad owns a 2014 mahindra scorpio pickup mhawk , only problem we have is it doesn't always properly engage in 4wd or low range ... Other than that it's always running strong , no probs with the engine if it gets an oil/oil filter change , air filter maintenance , long period dif liquid changes and the basic stuff... Very low maintenance and love the low rpm torque peak

John, you're probably the very last 4WD journalist in Australia that can give an honest from the heart review. One day I might replace my current ute, and by Crikey, your reviews of the Mahindra have put it on the list. Lastly, do some stuff with the "handbrake". I'm sure there's plenty of viewers that might like another perspective sometimes (Afterall, a lot of us like to take our handbrakes out n about now n then too)!

@4x4junkie86 3 года назад

what i think is missing in the 4x4 line up in australia is an affordable how do i say it, i guess industrial vehicle. what i mean by industrial is minimal tech and a bullet proof engine. like if you a farmer or even someone who works on an outback station then what the hell do you need lane assist and all the other over the top nonsense on modern vehicles. fine for city dwellers and blacktop warriors but where is the 4b that can live its entire life on the dirt and rarely if ever see a bitumen road.. and be 100% reliable doing it. im liking this mahindra pickup but an automatic would be nice for those of us who are sick to death of changing gears all day and have absolutely no use for all the over the top technology.

Hey M8, I test drove one and loved it. but what is holding me back is after market goodies, I don't go big lifts etc. 50mm & next up size tyre is more than enough. its hard to find where to shop, although the FB Mahindra page is very good, and I too was wanting the Thar. sitting on the fence looking out for posts on the pros/cons till some vehicle are available or the new shape comes to Oz. so far every new thing out there is 2019-2020.

Glad to know people from other side of the world are using Mahindra! Must also try Mahindra BOLERO, and Mahindra BOLERO pickup! in my opinion it's much better than this SCORPIO based truck. In terms of quality, reliability, mountain climbing, off roading, and heavy work nothing come close to our Bolero. It's little cheaper than the scorpio yet most reliable thing you'll ever see! it can even work years without getting maintained.

@riceraama 3 года назад

Yes even in India bolero is more of a country side workhorse whereas scorpio is preferred where people love to have that road presence, high clearance and bit more comfort. India will see a new gen scorpio and bolero later this year, so they might make the difference a bit more drastic.

@JOHNROOTHROOTHY 2 года назад

Do I have to clarify being an idiot?? Hahaha - no worries, Milo cost me $500 originally, and it was one of a long line of cheap old trucks since my first FJ in 1974 - $60. Wish I had it now - and yes, the second hand 76 I bought as a family rig cost $45K - and after a Cape trip and a couple of years of growth my family wouldn't even fit in it...
