I would love to have the cash to drop on a dual cab Landcruiser however it is way over my budget. I bought a brand new Mahindra Pik Up dual cab with alloy tray and steel winch compatible bullbar instead and after 20,000 km's I am still smiling. No issues, cheap on fuel and great offroad (Eatons Mechanical Auto Locker in the rear as standard). They are down on power compared to any other modern big name 4wd however it still keeps up with traffic and will sit on any speed limit in Australia with no worries. Basically it comes down to money. If I could afford $70k + for a vehicle, I would own a Dual Cab Landcruiser, but I could buy 2.5 of the Mahindra Pik Up (with Alloy Tray and Bullbar already fitted) for the same price as an optioned but still stock 79 Series. Only time will tell about reliability in the long run but I was willing to take the gamble and so far its been great :-)
U did right decision as they are from Willys tradition. It is only jeep in India, other brands even Jeep failed to compete them in India. It is conquering sough america etc. It is not the money u waste on other brands, consider cheap service, spare parts, milage etc too. I have no complaint with Mahidnra jeep. My grand father had one. I am using XUV 500 and very satisfied. ANSEWR IS SIMPLE AS Chevrolet said, India's suppleir base. They tested components from thousands of suppliers and reached perfect mileage.
It is very common in India and competing with other brands in one of world's most competitive market (india). Philipine police brought recently 150 and it passed all tests. It passed all tests of many polices of Chile, italy, south africa etc. It is almost no.1 in central america . It is no.1 jeep in India for nearly a century. It is most customer satisfied brand in south america. It has most rated for value of money in south africa. They are world no.1 tractor manufacturer. It is 100% reliable and value for money as no major complaint. th-cam.com/video/yNMArU5qUNk/w-d-xo.html my village and my neighbor using XUV 500 brought two months back and he is very happy. My father using mahindra jeep for decades now.
Indian are kings when it comes to frugal engineering and believe me Indian products are worth every penny you pay and lot lot lot more durable then Chinese junk ...
70K $, for a pick up, some one must eat shit to price it like that. Out off there minds the Toyota Co's are. Get the Rhino Mahindra and forget it, cost 1/2 the Toyota and still will do the 90% of the job. TH
Cheverlot winded up India sales said office work is done at US office and production cost is high and cannot reduce price. We export mostly to Latin America from India and cannot move production to LA because no country offers the GREAT SUPPLIER BASE like India. We tested components from thousands of suppliers and all very good including gear box, filter etc etc and reached a mileage of 25 km by testing components for years. If we produce it anywhere, the mileage may be 20 and cost of production will be high as NO COMPETITION among suppliers. India exports cars 40% to Latin and Central America. Few to EU and Africa mostly to UK, Algeria etc. Least to West Asia, Central Asia or South East Asia!!!! Suzuki started operation from 1980 and now has Hyundai, Ford, BMW, GM, Volswagen, Lamborgini, Toyota, Audi, SAIC, Chery, Jaguar etc etc. Dislikers can buy costly cars and waste money as Indian cars are worth money but do not make bad comments as no one will believe it as sales doubling in South America after 5 years of operation.
great ape - I understand the skepticism .. please drive one and you’ll understand why so many people think highly of a Mahindra .. they are not some random obscure Chinese company that makes knockoffs with poor quality and terrible names (landwind) etc.. mahindra makes high quality, value for money vehicles
All those Indians below are very nationalistic in praising the Mahindra. They could be biased and proud of their own product and getting carried away. I am impartial....and I love my Mahindra.
@Dharmic Science bruv i've seen many indians go crazy over those ugly modern tata soccer mom crossovers, and every single comment includes the GNCAP 4 or 5 star ratings like its a massive achievement.
Happy Mahindra Scorpio owner myself from India but I must say the toyota is miles better ! And it even deserves the price tag ! I wish these 70 series found demand in Indian army for the final replacement of the maruti gypsy ( LWB sj413 jimny) ! They are used even in Bangladesh ( my ancestrol native) !
@@kev8943 I know , I hate such morons ! So and so that they even compare those small engined shitboxes with a fortuner ! Imagine mall crawler compared with a real ladder frame 4x4 ! Plus tata sucks in reliability !
I used to work as a design engineer in Mahindra. They might not make beautiful or stunning products for the eyes, but I can vouch that they make things that last. Tough and compact.
Dont get me wrong i love my toyotas, but i have 4 people i know who own Mahindra Pik Ups and they have owned them since 2009-2012 and have all done over 300,000kms without even looking like having a rebuild....but anyone look at all the problems you have with the V8 landcruisers with injection, timing chain problems, continual O2 sensor issues and rear main seal problems then google issues with mahindra pik up...to me it doesnt make sense how a car made in a country where 3rd world conditions still exists, is looked passed and is reliable but people still insist spending $70-80k on status rather than reliability?? As i said i love my toyotas but it makes you wonder....what is mahindra doing different that toyota aren't????
AHVAN ok point taken....but tell me this why is it all the things we see and hear is about how that there are more poor and needy and suffering happening in an advanced country where this can be prevented...instead of focusing whats been done why not focus on what is being ignored...indian doctors, professors and other professionals alike rather practice their skills in other countries rather than making a difference in their own so until then my views are still that it is a progressing country with major 3rd world poverty issues
Sai Kiran Sharma AHVAN 3rd world countries is not backward or poor countrie , It means Non-Ally countries Go and research it first then comment also saying to them who dont know about 1st , 2nd,3rd world countries Tnk u
Chip, u do not need to buy that CRAP. U may be SUPER RICH and can spent money. Toyota cannot compete with Mahindra in most parameters like price, milage, spare parts etc. Mahindra is from Willys tradition. My grandfather using it in India and I am using XUV 500 and no issue at all. All brands both chinese, japanese etc failed in competition with Mahindra. They are conquering south america too. I am fully satisfied with my mahindra in India.
SKT fan, lot of people in many countries are toiletless and slums in many countries like pakistan, bangladesh, phillippines etc. Infact slums are more in many countries than india. Difference is indians can boast of advancement and achievements in many fields because of their intelligence and hardworking. Indian economy is growing in all parameters and well ahead of other developing nations. one thing to mention is MAHINDRA SCORPIO SUV starts from 10 lacs to 16 lacs while land cruiser starts at 94 lacs up to 150 lacs.

I'm a Cruiser lover. But really it's not worth the money. We always joke and ask "Why do Toyota build a double cab Cruiser? So that other people can feel how shitty they drive". I start to get respect for these Mahindra's as no one owning one ever complains about them.
Love Toyota's but I just can't afford a new one. I can afford a new Mahindra and I like the engineering behind it. I presume the engineers listened to what farmers wanted
Mahindra pick-up trucks are very popular here in India. Seen them everywhere. They are also in Nepal, Uttarkhand and Himachal Pradesh. Please watch videos of Mahindra Bolero in himachal pardesh, Uttarkhand etc
@@visalakshimahadevan612 what do you mean by also in Uttarakhand and Himachal ? both these states are part of India. No need to mention them separately.
I owned a 2012 mahindra scorpio mhawk...bloody good engine. Very smooth, reliable, cheap on gas....love it. Mahindra did something good. The only change I want to see is its looks...otherwise good brand
Landcruiser has solid axles front and rear and a heap of torque. Not much goes better off road. Plus its not an F-truck so it'll get through tight sections
It is under rated and it can go because of size etc. It is only jeep in india and other brands failed to do anything against it in India as tey are from Wilys tradition. Chevrolet quitting India said they made great mistake coming to INdia late as No country has THE GREAT SUPPLIERS like in India. They tested components from thousands of suppliers and all reliable and reached perfect mileage etc. No wonder other brands cannot compete with Mahindra who are first in India with good supplier base.
@@nervotica7991 really? Maybe bcoz of people's mentality and maybe bcoz they r living in developed nation while we r living in developing nation That's all sinole
Guys, Next video please go easy on the background music. It is very loud and can't hear what you guys are saying. It is distracting. But good short video.
The Mahindra is amazing for what you're paying. Most of the people here are giving it shit without even trying it. Of course the Toyota will kick but. But you're better of with Mahindra than a holden or ford; I can guarantee you that. It's either Japanese, Indian or German if you want something that'll last.
Singamanikandan T. Thevar ,so you think your pride will work,even I am an Indian,but you should better respect for trucks,I am a truck enthusiast in Sweden and have a lot of experience with 4x4s,and stop bullshiting that Mahindra is better than ford,after all they make the best trucks all time ,like the ford ranger and bronco with a reliability and durability which is as good as a Japanese truck and also the best gas millage,that is why I can find a Chevy blazer and ford bronco last at right conditions whereas I have seen in India many Mahindra jeep trucks are rusting to grave junk,also ford has the history of making the most reliable sports cars like ford gt
Didn't mention in cabin comfort or room. the cruiser is cramped for a car of its size and even worse for passengers (I use to have one).. the mahindra kills it for passenger space, comfort and general ergonomics. which is why the cabin looks funny from the outside.
You are wrong!the Toyota looks much better than the Scorpio and even I have a Scorpio,I can't even move my self in my truck ,whereas I have taken ride in many land cruiser safari trucks,they are so spacious at the front row which includes also the driver's seat ,but both are good looking and robust to be honest but the land cruiser is something at next level
Let's not be biased. Both are equally reliable and tough. Both are made with quality. But the land cruiser 79 is being judged for being too expensive. Well what else can you expect from something that offers a diesel V8, electronically operated diff locks both for front and rear axle, 6 airbags to maintain 5 stars ANCAP, solid front axle with coilovers and dual suspension arms, a driveline which can handle even 1000nm,etc? See what you have in the mahindra pikup, an eaton mechanical rear diff lock, a 2.2l diesel 4 banger, a gearbox with a torque capacity of only 320nm, a normal IFS, only 2 airbags,etc? Try the same on the mahindra and the mahindra too would cost 70k. After all there was a time when you could get a 70 series at the price of a mahindra pikup. PEACE.
I’m an Indian Australian living in WA from last 10 years just want to mention one thing ….. Mahindra is number one choice in rural, sandy, and mountain areas there and you don’t need to off roads for off roading in India 😃😃
Lol, you should check indian road in recent before commenting something rubbish...india is constructing 37 days highway per day, and the speed of constructing is still increasing.
Atleast we indians got our own industry rather than copying cheverlot designs. Well not just car industry we got our own motorbike industry which is growing bigger. Look at the amount of aussies who buy holden andnow compare that to indians buying indian brand cars like tata, mahindra and even the new startup company DC
dude it's Chevrolet which is actually copying the Holden's anger other Australian vehicles... Did you know that the Camaro chassis was designed by Holden engineers
Mahindra are for those who want a very very safe bet on their investment. For the money spent you can never go wrong with a Mahindra. Likewise the Maruti (Suzuki) alliance in India which rules the market. Mahindra has reliable workhorse image and are easy fixes. Tested to work in extreme environments. Toyotas loot customers even in India. But yes Toyotas are known for superb reliability, but value wise Mahindras supersede everything else in market. Other super value proposition company are the Tata and their products.
The western even when impressed by something made in India are very miser in praise... Not bad afterall for the money you pay ... Instead of excellent value for money, does what it is expected to do instead of performs well..
We had a similar Mahindra pickup selling in India a few years ago.Was called the Getaway. Some humble observations 1) Outstanding engine and generally quite realiable. 2) Had an IFS, so probably not as maintainance free as an old school solid front axle. 3) Rather affordable compared to similar offerings from Japanese automakers. Affordability is a key parameter for many..everything starts there. 4) Though mehanical manufacturing processes and tolerances may be world class, the quality of the metal, bearings, ball joints etc may be a notch lower than the Toyota. Therefore, Longevity when used in identical conditions may be less. We usually get what we pay for. 5) Classic Landcruser looks are hard to beat. Though the degree of importance one gives to that aspect is a personal choice.
Mahindra seriously needs to look at overseas market as an opportunity outside India. Not just for their 4x4s and SUVs but also their tractors. Of course, Australia is a huge market for its vehicles but needs to push in America and Canada.
I would like to know how many of these Mahindra reviews from QLD are actually paid promotions. Either cash or in kind. Also, Aussies are very suspicious. Remember Hyundai, Kia even Honda cars, no one would go near them at the beginning. Mahindra is a huge engineering conglomerate, but not well known here, but they were known as buying out Gipps Aero and pinching their ideas to kick start the Mahindra venture into Aviation. Mmahindra have a track record of buying up smaller successful companies to shortcut their path to technologies. India is not some backwater any more, they are like Korea Japan China in their early days of entering the western market. Honestly, Mahindra is no worse than Holden ever was. Their market is HUGE and if their product was no good, they would not be selling them in the numbers they do in India. All Mahindra lacks is a decent warranty and dealer network. Give them 5 years. Also, there are second hand Mahindras coming onto the Aussie market with 300,000 on the clock, so we should stop being sheep and give them a go. In my humble opinion.
Mahindra is very high quality, double mileage and less service costs, limited other costs. It's excellent choice for commercial truck vehicles. It's a very high quality vehicle and it's made for US market. Those who want to buy this might be working and making money. But here you save money too. Don't waste extra on Toyota they are charging you high
well ill be able to do a comparison.I've got a 1985 HJ75 which i've had from new and i've bought a mahindra pik up.So far the mahindra is a much nicer machine to drive and is actually better off road than my landcruiser was when it had standard diffs..
Nope ! No way ! And don't own this ! Already I'm crying after owning this ! And yes ,obviously that Mahindra will win if it is fitted with difflocks ! I have one of it ,it is really crap ! Low momentum,underpowered for the weight and even the clutch will stop working ! Stop praising on these crap Indian vehicles ! Indians have spoiled the defender! The land cruiser is still better ! So stop telling shit about it ! Do you know ,back in India I used to cry as it was not available in India ! And you are like praising it ! This company even copied the jeep cj5!
I don't have the cash for a Landcruiser, so i thought this mahindra, in cab chassis form, might be ok. I'll be taking to some dirt roads, but not really interested in the heavy stuff.
People bag them but based on cost alone, it's a good little option. Hopefully I can get one. Just don't know if I should hold until the new ute arrives... That's the harder decision to make...
I don't see by price,I see it by capabilities,durability and reliability,which every 4x4 deserves,so obviously I would take the Toyota but still I like both as I have both
Look, if you see the full video they clearly mention the unorthodox-ness in the comparison. You cannot compare a 2 litre with a 5 litre engine in the first place. The video is kind of a pun intended and the cars aren't in the same playing field, even then no mahindra will give up in 4 years like you first mentioned.
Both will work without any probs. Cheverlot winded up India sales said office work is done at US office and production cost is high and cannot reduce price.

Toyota would eat Mahindra for lunch in toughness and reliability. This is coming from an Indian. The only selling point Mahindra has is it does an above average job at the price it comes at.
New model of mahindra Ute have much more feature compare to this old model.Also land cruiser 79 is almost double price vehicle.Can toyota make in quality ute in similar price to mahindra.May be not. Toyota's reliability and low maintenance has been already paid through its higher price. WHO would buy a lemon at high price if its not good. I have seen and spent almost 20 years of my life in it. My dad and uncle with several mahindra vehicles. Mahindra used to be simple,low maintenance ,tough but very practical.
Are you nuts,these are the cheaper land cruisers,and cost does not plays the roll,Japanese trucks are the most unbreakable ,strong and capable trucks in the world
In mining sector in hot Australian desert all vehicles regardless of which company it is, they all use Toyota’s majority Landcrusiers and some hilux, no mahindra ,Isuzu Mazda or Tata , if mahindra was at par from Toyota I bet money hungry mining bosses would love saving money on cheap alternate
Im sure the mahindra is not as bad as most people assume but how biased is this review. Comparing them based on which as better difflocks not mentioning once about the solid axle vs tortion bar ifs. I see so many car review bullshit websites slagging the lc off but its pretty clear thats only because Toyota doesnt put alot of money into marketing the lc to private buyers because most people know the lc is the king
Both the trucks are good ,even as an Indian,I would say that Toyota trucks are better than Mahindra trucks,Mahindra makes something with old school chassis design with new durable engines,reliable electronics and simple to use controls,which means they employ less designers to develop such trucks,but the Japanese are most innovative,they undergo a lot of development and employ a lot of people and make the strongest trucks which have old school design modernised,such as the Toyota 4 runner,so they are more pricy,but as a truck enthusiast,I would suggest buying Toyotas over Mahindra ,it is not the matter of money,it is the matter of having a vehicle which needs less or no maintenance,so Toyotas are the best ,please try to understand,live Toyota and be Toyota!!!!!!toyota is 💪💪💪 but even the Mahindra is also a strong unbreakable truck ,but not as good as a Toyota
Both are best. Mahindra is cheap, reliable and fuel efficient. Toyota is reliable but social drinker. Instead of these two I will prefer Isuzu dmax which is as reliable as Toyota and priced between Toyota and mahindra and powerful to do demanding work. Isuzu diesel engines are super reliable.
just buy a dmax its alot better with nicer interiors, bigger tray, better looks, bigger engine, higher towing capacity etc thats probs where the price is at and what the mahindra doesnt JAPAN #1!!!!!
But the Toyota is made with Japanese technology and they are so faithful that they don't make trucks for money,they make it to show cage their talent,Toyota is always better,as I am a truck enthusiast from Sweden and I am an Indian
@@keralanaturelover196 toyota fortuner is 30 lakhs! And also this particular land cruiser is also fo the same price or may be just 25 lakhs! And Iron is from china for making toyota parts!
@@keralanaturelover196 now my question is ,why do you always keep telling something based on your pride for your country and our Indian company mahindra whenever there is any video related to it ? You just say something against all these toyotas and say that mahindra is the best manufacturer ! You see ,youtube is a place where you should not spread rants! Coming to the point of conclusion over here ,yes the land cruiser shown over here is not the typical land cruiser which is sold in india ! It is still way cheaper m,maybe 1/3 the price ,even cheaper than that of the fortuner or the everest(endeavour) ! And still you might feel it expensive,but you see ,this land cruiser ,which is a 79 series ,is equipped with v8 diesel ,producing over 200 bhp! Also the land cruiser 79 is more about crossing australia than being used on farm! And it includes bogging ,crawling the biggest rocks with full truck loads of diesel,food ,water ,spare tires etc right on the bed of the vehicle! So it is worth the price! Now i would also say something according to my experience ! My friend in australia has got a mahindra scorpio with all the benefits which you don't get in india! We were driving from perth to the snow capped ridges!I was driving the land cruiser and my friend ,the mahindra, But you see ,the mahindra still suffered clutch related issues while climbing rocks ans crossing slush! It was still repairable and we did fix it! Also while climbing rocks,it struggled ,wheel travel was poor even after modification! But i liked the truck ,it is nice ! I love other vehicles from mahindra like the mahindra classic! But we have to agree that toyota still makes better vehicles! But the mahindra is still reliable,and is a bang for a buck ! Love both the trucks,peace!
Indians here. You don't need to swarm all these videos and leave comments. Let the Aussies and South Africans and everyone else figure if Mahindra is right for them, themselves. You are not helping Mahindra by swarming the comment section of all of these videos.
You are Right. Indian people are over enthusiastic. People in Australia, Canada and US must be allowed to figure it out for themselves. It's better to share the video than swarming it with comments. Because nobody around the world cares what people in India have to say about Indian vehicle.
Toyota best selling car,truck and sub around the World. It is more expensive because of decades of research and development., Without a doubt the most reliable motors which easily clock a.few times around the globe. I guess if you can't afford to for a heap unknown brand but I've never had good experiences with second grade goods, you get what you pay for.
I have bought the Mahindra brand new vehicle and even though Mahindra confirmed that my vehicle has got multiple defects they are still refusing to replace the vehicle .
Mahindra must increased its price tag..if you delivery better product than competitor ..you must increase your value.. Good product deserve good price... #mahindra
I can’t get past the Mahindra’s dopey look and would happily pay the extra 40k to not look at it in my driveway. Also, isn’t that LED light bar position illegal in Queensland?
Oh really,the land cruiser is 200 hp and the Mahindra has only 120 hp,then land cruiser is above 400 mm torque whereas the Scorpio produces only 280 mm torque
@@pratyushbiswas7582 , just see the offroad capabilities of Mahindra major in Kerala ,see the video. Then bark . Mahindra major, thar is more realiable than your 1crore land cruiser.

Even with an expensive brake upgrade the Land cruiser brakes barely work.. land cruisers only got power in 1st 2nd gear gutless in the high gears so not good for towing.
Landcruisers are overated! I've owned a couple and driven alot if them for work Their price tags are outta this world! Mahindra can keep up with the best of them. Bang for your buck I say
How can you compare a Mahindra to a Toyota? Its like comparing a Ferrari to a bicycle... The price difference is about the same as well! This is getting ridiculous mate
ever owned Toyota Diesels ? i pray that once in life you get to own Toyota Diesel Engine powered Vehicles , to have a reference level , to know what you are missing in life
allot of Mahindra fan boys/girls here. In the end it comes down to the fact that the landcruiser has a cult following for a reason, people know they are overpriced but they still buy them anyway. what does that tell you, people dont mind spending the money because they know what they are getting. A solid built 4wd with plenty of power, factory lockers, solid front axle and the aerodynamics of a brick, not to mention the resale value of the landcruisers is nearly 3 times the show room price XD. Dont complain because you cant afford one, just buy the mahindra and drive around the laughing stock of all 4wds.
I do agree ,even I own one Mahindra ! It sucks ! And actually you cannot get a good vehicle at a cheaper price ! Toyotas have given us everything:-reliability ,value for money ,after market value ,capability,etc ! And still most people are becoming cheap like Indians and becoming enthusiastic for the crap which you get at a less price ,just because it is cheap ! It is like comparing the Dodge Challenger with the BMW 6 series! The 6 series might be expensive,but it still makes us buy the BMW over the crap challenger !
@@Countrysideboy247In that case it is better to buy volvo high power 10 wheeled truck than this toyota. Much more reliable and powerful. Will that really make any sense spending that much money? It is not about what one is purchasing but about real affordability and not mere show off.
Pabitra Sen shut up ! First of all you Indians are not at all into such activities like off-roading! Have you ever owned any land cruiser ? Because land cruisers are not even produced in your country! Do you know about the Pakistanis ? They buy Toyotas because they are reliable,robust and can last even more than 450,000 miles ! Just convert that to the metric system! And don't think them to be stupid buying expensive things ! They can even buy a Range Rover evoque by saving a little more ! But they have something known as common sense ,so they buy something as reliable as a Toyota! And just stop underestimating Toyotas! They have made one of the greatest cars ! Like the supra ! What has Mahindra done ? Just made some ugly licenced version of the jeep cj3b with 50hp tractor engine ? And stop behaving like an idiot! It is hard to get any car below the price which you can expect ! Covert the average price to Indian rupees ! Might be like in your country 25 lakhs ! Damn ,many people in India are buying cars of that price ! Like the ford Everest (Endeavour) ! And if you are really into buying something cheap,then it is the Suzuki sj413 (Gypsy) !
yes but still the land cruiser is one of the all time best , it's not all about the spec-sheet, the quality of those parts are crucial for a offroader and availability of those parts
I'm an Indian, & I hate this single cab look of the Mahindra Scorpio pickup. The double cab version looks good, feel good, but this one 🤮. Maybe its functionality is VFM, but rest sucks.

I been driving Mahindra pickup since 2014 and is very strong workhorse and off-road ute and cheap fuel, parts, very happy
I would love to have the cash to drop on a dual cab Landcruiser however it is way over my budget. I bought a brand new Mahindra Pik Up dual cab with alloy tray and steel winch compatible bullbar instead and after 20,000 km's I am still smiling. No issues, cheap on fuel and great offroad (Eatons Mechanical Auto Locker in the rear as standard). They are down on power compared to any other modern big name 4wd however it still keeps up with traffic and will sit on any speed limit in Australia with no worries. Basically it comes down to money. If I could afford $70k + for a vehicle, I would own a Dual Cab Landcruiser, but I could buy 2.5 of the Mahindra Pik Up (with Alloy Tray and Bullbar already fitted) for the same price as an optioned but still stock 79 Series. Only time will tell about reliability in the long run but I was willing to take the gamble and so far its been great :-)
U did right decision as they are from Willys tradition. It is only jeep in India, other brands even Jeep failed to compete them in India. It is conquering sough america etc. It is not the money u waste on other brands, consider cheap service, spare parts, milage etc too. I have no complaint with Mahidnra jeep. My grand father had one. I am using XUV 500 and very satisfied. ANSEWR IS SIMPLE AS Chevrolet said, India's suppleir base. They tested components from thousands of suppliers and reached perfect mileage.
I considering buying a Mahindra pik up based on your comment. Any update on reliability would be appreciated. Thanks!
It is very common in India and competing with other brands in one of world's most competitive market (india). Philipine police brought recently 150 and it passed all tests. It passed all tests of many polices of Chile, italy, south africa etc. It is almost no.1 in central america . It is no.1 jeep in India for nearly a century. It is most customer satisfied brand in south america. It has most rated for value of money in south africa. They are world no.1 tractor manufacturer. It is 100% reliable and value for money as no major complaint. th-cam.com/video/yNMArU5qUNk/w-d-xo.html my village and my neighbor using XUV 500 brought two months back and he is very happy. My father using mahindra jeep for decades now.
Indian are kings when it comes to frugal engineering and believe me Indian products are worth every penny you pay and lot lot lot more durable then Chinese junk ...
Hey mate, how's the reliability going?
In many African countries The Mahindra Pik Up it also called Mahindra Getaway
Thats correct, many places in South Asia as well.
Like the scorpio getaway
It is the mahindra getaway in india too
Well if YOU lived in Africa, YOU'D want to get away too!
Used to be Scorpio but now Pikup in South Africa.
70K $, for a pick up, some one must eat shit to price it like that. Out off there minds the Toyota Co's are. Get the Rhino Mahindra and forget it, cost 1/2 the Toyota and still will do the 90% of the job. TH
Jonathan Grunwald Mahindra?
..hahaha...they're garbage!
Cheverlot winded up India sales said office work is done at US office and production cost is high and cannot reduce price. We export mostly to Latin America from India and cannot move production to LA because no country offers the GREAT SUPPLIER BASE like India. We tested components from thousands of suppliers and all very good including gear box, filter etc etc and reached a mileage of 25 km by testing components for years. If we produce it anywhere, the mileage may be 20 and cost of production will be high as NO COMPETITION among suppliers.
India exports cars 40% to Latin and Central America. Few to EU and Africa mostly to UK, Algeria etc. Least to West Asia, Central Asia or South East Asia!!!! Suzuki started operation from 1980 and now has Hyundai, Ford, BMW, GM, Volswagen, Lamborgini, Toyota, Audi, SAIC, Chery, Jaguar etc etc. Dislikers can buy costly cars and waste money as Indian cars are worth money but do not make bad comments as no one will believe it as sales doubling in South America after 5 years of operation.
great ape - I understand the skepticism .. please drive one and you’ll understand why so many people think highly of a Mahindra .. they are not some random obscure Chinese company that makes knockoffs with poor quality and terrible names (landwind) etc.. mahindra makes high quality, value for money vehicles
We have 2mahindra vehicles and its tough like rock,,,its to good
Cost of top model Mahindra Scorpio is 24K$-25K max
All those Indians below are very nationalistic in praising the Mahindra. They could be biased and proud of their own product and getting carried away. I am impartial....and I love my Mahindra.
Ur are true..half minded people being biased here .. Im an Indian though 😉
agree although Mahindra isn't near at Toyota level, they are good for the price and reliable.
@Dharmic Science bruv i've seen many indians go crazy over those ugly modern tata soccer mom crossovers, and every single comment includes the GNCAP 4 or 5 star ratings like its a massive achievement.
Happy Mahindra Scorpio owner myself from India but I must say the toyota is miles better ! And it even deserves the price tag ! I wish these 70 series found demand in Indian army for the final replacement of the maruti gypsy ( LWB sj413 jimny) ! They are used even in Bangladesh ( my ancestrol native) !

I used to work as a design engineer in Mahindra. They might not make beautiful or stunning products for the eyes, but I can vouch that they make things that last. Tough and compact.
Dont get me wrong i love my toyotas, but i have 4 people i know who own Mahindra Pik Ups and they have owned them since 2009-2012 and have all done over 300,000kms without even looking like having a rebuild....but anyone look at all the problems you have with the V8 landcruisers with injection, timing chain problems, continual O2 sensor issues and rear main seal problems then google issues with mahindra pik up...to me it doesnt make sense how a car made in a country where 3rd world conditions still exists, is looked passed and is reliable but people still insist spending $70-80k on status rather than reliability?? As i said i love my toyotas but it makes you wonder....what is mahindra doing different that toyota aren't????
AHVAN ok point taken....but tell me this why is it all the things we see and hear is about how that there are more poor and needy and suffering happening in an advanced country where this can be prevented...instead of focusing whats been done why not focus on what is being ignored...indian doctors, professors and other professionals alike rather practice their skills in other countries rather than making a difference in their own so until then my views are still that it is a progressing country with major 3rd world poverty issues

Toyota cannot compete with Mahindra in most parameters like price, milage, spare parts etc. Mahindra is from Willys tradition.

SKT fan, lot of people in many countries are toiletless and slums in many countries like pakistan, bangladesh, phillippines etc. Infact slums are more in many countries than india. Difference is indians can boast of advancement and achievements in many fields because of their intelligence and hardworking. Indian economy is growing in all parameters and well ahead of other developing nations. one thing to mention is MAHINDRA SCORPIO SUV starts from 10 lacs to 16 lacs while land cruiser starts at 94 lacs up to 150 lacs.

I'm a Cruiser lover. But really it's not worth the money. We always joke and ask "Why do Toyota build a double cab Cruiser? So that other people can feel how shitty they drive". I start to get respect for these Mahindra's as no one owning one ever complains about them.

Hey Muaaz Tariq, Did you mean India? ;-)
It is under rated and it can go because of size etc. It is only jeep in india and other brands failed to do anything against it in India as tey are from Wilys tradition. Chevrolet quitting India said they made great mistake coming to INdia late as No country has THE GREAT SUPPLIERS like in India.

Mahindra looks Promising !! Toyota's are overpriced
The Mahindra is amazing for what you're paying. Most of the people here are giving it shit without even trying it. Of course the Toyota will kick but. But you're better of with Mahindra than a holden or ford; I can guarantee you that. It's either Japanese, Indian or German if you want something that'll last.
Singamanikandan T. Thevar you are mental, your comment is absurd!
My grand father is using mahindra jeep in India and i am using XUV 500. No issue at all.
Singamanikandan T. Thevar ,so you think your pride will work,even I am an Indian,but you should better respect for trucks,I am a truck enthusiast in Sweden and have a lot of experience with 4x4s,and stop bullshiting that Mahindra is better than ford,after all they make the best trucks all time ,like the ford ranger and bronco with a reliability and durability which is as good as a Japanese truck and also the best gas millage,that is why I can find a Chevy blazer and ford bronco last at right conditions whereas I have seen in India many Mahindra jeep trucks are rusting to grave junk,also ford has the history of making the most reliable sports cars like ford gt

Didn't mention in cabin comfort or room.
the cruiser is cramped for a car of its size and even worse for passengers (I use to have one)..
the mahindra kills it for passenger space, comfort and general ergonomics.
which is why the cabin looks funny from the outside.
You are wrong!the Toyota looks much better than the Scorpio and even I have a Scorpio,I can't even move my self in my truck ,whereas I have taken ride in many land cruiser safari trucks,they are so spacious at the front row which includes also the driver's seat ,but both are good looking and robust to be honest but the land cruiser is something at next level

Let's not be biased. Both are equally reliable and tough. Both are made with quality. But the land cruiser 79 is being judged for being too expensive. Well what else can you expect from something that offers a diesel V8, electronically operated diff locks both for front and rear axle, 6 airbags to maintain 5 stars ANCAP, solid front axle with coilovers and dual suspension arms, a driveline which can handle even 1000nm,etc? See what you have in the mahindra pikup, an eaton mechanical rear diff lock, a 2.2l diesel 4 banger, a gearbox with a torque capacity of only 320nm, a normal IFS, only 2 airbags,etc? Try the same on the mahindra and the mahindra too would cost 70k. After all there was a time when you could get a 70 series at the price of a mahindra pikup. PEACE.
I’m an Indian Australian living in WA from last 10 years just want to mention one thing ….. Mahindra is number one choice in rural, sandy, and mountain areas there and you don’t need to off roads for off roading in India 😃😃
Lol, you should check indian road in recent before commenting something rubbish...india is constructing 37 days highway per day, and the speed of constructing is still increasing.
Atleast we indians got our own industry rather than copying cheverlot designs. Well not just car industry we got our own motorbike industry which is growing bigger. Look at the amount of aussies who buy holden andnow compare that to indians buying indian brand cars like tata, mahindra and even the new startup company DC

the bollywood hinglish catchphrases doesnt make much sense to other English speakers get it idiot .
Mahindra are for those who want a very very safe bet on their investment. For the money spent you can never go wrong with a Mahindra. Likewise the Maruti (Suzuki) alliance in India which rules the market. Mahindra has reliable workhorse image and are easy fixes. Tested to work in extreme environments.
Toyotas loot customers even in India. But yes Toyotas are known for superb reliability, but value wise Mahindras supersede everything else in market. Other super value proposition company are the Tata and their products.
The Mahindra costs less initially, so even if after ten years you lose 80% of the puchase price , you have lost less in depreciation than the Toyota.
Love Mahindra 🤩
we got close to getting these in the states but the business plan never materialized. I always wondered if this would have sold
Mahindra started in states now. They conquering sough american markets now.
Mahindra is doing their Best to bring the Best...🙏
But I do like the shiny bumper of the Mahindra which most 4x4s used to have during 80s,90s and early 2000s
Looks like ass!
The western even when impressed by something made in India are very miser in praise... Not bad afterall for the money you pay ... Instead of excellent value for money, does what it is expected to do instead of performs well..
We had a similar Mahindra pickup selling in India a few years ago.Was called the Getaway.
Some humble observations
1) Outstanding engine and generally quite realiable.
2) Had an IFS, so probably not as maintainance free as an old school solid front axle.
3) Rather affordable compared to similar offerings from Japanese automakers. Affordability is a key parameter for many..everything starts there.
4) Though mehanical manufacturing processes and tolerances may be world class, the quality of the metal, bearings, ball joints etc may be a notch lower than the Toyota. Therefore, Longevity when used in identical conditions may be less. We usually get what we pay for.
5) Classic Landcruser looks are hard to beat. Though the degree of importance one gives to that aspect is a personal choice.
“79 is great for towing” also the 79s clutch 🔥
Mahindra seriously needs to look at overseas market as an opportunity outside India. Not just for their 4x4s and SUVs but also their tractors. Of course, Australia is a huge market for its vehicles but needs to push in America and Canada.
Mahindra is the 4th or 3rd largest tractor seller in north America 😂
@@KuntalGhosh No it is not. Just google North America tractor market share and you’ll see the results it is 6th or 7th.
I would like to know how many of these Mahindra reviews from QLD are actually paid promotions. Either cash or in kind.
Also, Aussies are very suspicious. Remember Hyundai, Kia even Honda cars, no one would go near them at the beginning.
Mahindra is a huge engineering conglomerate, but not well known here, but they were known as buying out Gipps Aero and pinching their ideas to kick start the Mahindra venture into Aviation.
Mmahindra have a track record of buying up smaller successful companies to shortcut their path to technologies.
India is not some backwater any more, they are like Korea Japan China in their early days of entering the western market.
Honestly, Mahindra is no worse than Holden ever was. Their market is HUGE and if their product was no good, they would not be selling them in the numbers they do in India.
All Mahindra lacks is a decent warranty and dealer network. Give them 5 years.
Also, there are second hand Mahindras coming onto the Aussie market with 300,000 on the clock, so we should stop being sheep and give them a go.
In my humble opinion.
Mahindra is very high quality, double mileage and less service costs, limited other costs. It's excellent choice for commercial truck vehicles. It's a very high quality vehicle and it's made for US market. Those who want to buy this might be working and making money. But here you save money too. Don't waste extra on Toyota they are charging you high
mahindra is best
Toyota is best
Geez bloke long way down from a Bdouble, good to see you are still around.
well ill be able to do a comparison.I've got a 1985 HJ75 which i've had from new and i've bought a mahindra pik up.So far the mahindra is a much nicer machine to drive and is actually better off road than my landcruiser was when it had standard diffs..
Nope ! No way ! And don't own this ! Already I'm crying after owning this ! And yes ,obviously that Mahindra will win if it is fitted with difflocks ! I have one of it ,it is really crap ! Low momentum,underpowered for the weight and even the clutch will stop working ! Stop praising on these crap Indian vehicles ! Indians have spoiled the defender! The land cruiser is still better ! So stop telling shit about it ! Do you know ,back in India I used to cry as it was not available in India ! And you are like praising it ! This company even copied the jeep cj5!
I don't have the cash for a Landcruiser, so i thought this mahindra, in cab chassis form, might be ok. I'll be taking to some dirt roads, but not really interested in the heavy stuff.
People bag them but based on cost alone, it's a good little option. Hopefully I can get one. Just don't know if I should hold until the new ute arrives... That's the harder decision to make...
I don't see by price,I see it by capabilities,durability and reliability,which every 4x4 deserves,so obviously I would take the Toyota but still I like both as I have both
Give them both 4 years work.... then ask the same questions :)
they would both survive...i heard that quite a few farmers use the Mahindra on their properties as a cheap vehicle to toss around.
Hugh Jazz , both vehicles here i've seen can take a lifetime of abuse no problem, yes both.
Mahindra been around for a Lifetime?
Im talking the same time as a Landcruiser 40 series, 60 series and the newer ones.
Look, if you see the full video they clearly mention the unorthodox-ness in the comparison. You cannot compare a 2 litre with a 5 litre engine in the first place. The video is kind of a pun intended and the cars aren't in the same playing field, even then no mahindra will give up in 4 years like you first mentioned.
Both will work without any probs.

@@karanshah5604 Thar will prove you wrong. Don't worry.
Mahindra is as reliable as the original japanese made toyota.But yes it had slightly less offroad capabilities but it is really reliable.
New model of mahindra Ute have much more feature compare to this old model.Also land cruiser 79 is almost double price vehicle.Can toyota make in quality ute in similar price to mahindra.May be not. Toyota's reliability and low maintenance has been already paid through its higher price. WHO would buy a lemon at high price if its not good. I have seen and spent almost 20 years of my life in it. My dad and uncle with several mahindra vehicles. Mahindra used to be simple,low maintenance ,tough but very practical.
79 remains legend in its own right till today and beyond and not because its a TOYOTA.

Im sure the mahindra is not as bad as most people assume but how biased is this review. Comparing them based on which as better difflocks not mentioning once about the solid axle vs tortion bar ifs. I see so many car review bullshit websites slagging the lc off but its pretty clear thats only because Toyota doesnt put alot of money into marketing the lc to private buyers because most people know the lc is the king
Mahindra roxor can go anywhere.
Both the trucks are good ,even as an Indian,I would say that Toyota trucks are better than Mahindra trucks,Mahindra makes something with old school chassis design with new durable engines,reliable electronics and simple to use controls,which means they employ less designers to develop such trucks,but the Japanese are most innovative,they undergo a lot of development and employ a lot of people and make the strongest trucks which have old school design modernised,such as the Toyota 4 runner,so they are more pricy,but as a truck enthusiast,I would suggest buying Toyotas over Mahindra ,it is not the matter of money,it is the matter of having a vehicle which needs less or no maintenance,so Toyotas are the best ,please try to understand,live Toyota and be Toyota!!!!!!toyota is 💪💪💪 but even the Mahindra is also a strong unbreakable truck ,but not as good as a Toyota
Both are best. Mahindra is cheap, reliable and fuel efficient. Toyota is reliable but social drinker. Instead of these two I will prefer Isuzu dmax which is as reliable as Toyota and priced between Toyota and mahindra and powerful to do demanding work. Isuzu diesel engines are super reliable.

That will be 70k sir, cash or card...
Mahindra very popular in India, if its tested on Indian roads.....ITS GOOD
70 series is good for towing as long as no hills, high-speed, overtaking or braking is needed.
the land cruiser in offroad is the best by far but if you don't have the money mahindra
Everybody here is attacking the landcruiser because they can't afford it and so they call it bad

It is still way cheaper m,maybe 1/3 the price ,even cheaper than that of the fortuner or the everest(endeavour) ! And still you might feel it expensive,but you see ,this land cruiser ,which is a 79 series ,is equipped with v8 diesel ,producing over 200 bhp! Also the land cruiser 79 is more about crossing australia than being used on farm! And it includes bogging ,crawling the biggest rocks with full truck loads of diesel,food ,water ,spare tires etc right on the bed of the vehicle! So it is worth the price! Now i would also say something according to my experience ! My friend in australia has got a mahindra scorpio with all the benefits which you don't get in india! We were driving from perth to the snow capped ridges!I was driving the land cruiser and my friend ,the mahindra, But you see ,the mahindra still suffered clutch related issues while climbing rocks ans crossing slush! It was still repairable and we did fix it! Also while climbing rocks,it struggled ,wheel travel was poor even after modification! But i liked the truck ,it is nice ! I love other vehicles from mahindra like the mahindra classic! But we have to agree that toyota still makes better vehicles! But the mahindra is still reliable,and is a bang for a buck ! Love both the trucks,peace!

From east to west Mahindra is best
The Cruiser is cool and the mahindra is descent I guess but it doesn't matter cause The Mercedes-Benz G-professional cab chassis will kick their ass
And the price will kick your ass...
@@mercedesbenz3751 your photo doesn't match your name...
Toyota best selling car,truck and sub around the World. It is more expensive because of decades of research and development., Without a doubt the most reliable motors which easily clock a.few times around the globe.
I guess if you can't afford to for a heap unknown brand but I've never had good experiences with second grade goods, you get what you pay for.
I have bought the Mahindra brand new vehicle and even though Mahindra confirmed that my vehicle has got multiple defects they are still refusing to replace the vehicle .
Not sure what was said as the music is the same volume as his voice.
Mahindra must increased its price tag..if you delivery better product than competitor ..you must increase your value.. Good product deserve good price... #mahindra
Little Indian friend ? Yet to drive a homegrown Australian car of any sort, specially one that still exists.
I can’t get past the Mahindra’s dopey look and would happily pay the extra 40k to not look at it in my driveway. Also, isn’t that LED light bar position illegal in Queensland?
Mahindra is power full....
Oh really,the land cruiser is 200 hp and the Mahindra has only 120 hp,then land cruiser is above 400 mm torque whereas the Scorpio produces only 280 mm torque
Mahindra roxor
@@pratyushbiswas7582 , just see the offroad capabilities of Mahindra major in Kerala ,see the video. Then bark . Mahindra major, thar is more realiable than your 1crore land cruiser.
@@singapore5500 im sure it's reliable but it will never be as reliable as toyota. plain facts.
It has front independent suspension, its a completely different class... Compare it against the hilux, ranger etc. and you will find it is quite poor value.
Cheverlot winded up India sales said office work is done at US office and production cost is high and cannot reduce price. We export mostly to Latin America from India and cannot move production to LA because no country offers the GREAT SUPPLIER BASE like India. We tested components from thousands of suppliers and all very good including gear box, filter etc etc and reached a mileage of 25 km by testing components for years. If we produce it anywhere, the mileage may be 20 and cost of production will be high as NO COMPETITION among suppliers.
Even many police like phillippines, chile etc using it and they passed all tests and it is worth money.
Do agree
Even with an expensive brake upgrade the Land cruiser brakes barely work.. land cruisers only got power in 1st 2nd gear gutless in the high gears so not good for towing.
Landcruisers are overated!
I've owned a couple and driven alot if them for work
Their price tags are outta this world! Mahindra can keep up with the best of them. Bang for your buck I say
These comments are just filled with die hard mahindra owners
How can you compare a Mahindra to a Toyota? Its like comparing a Ferrari to a bicycle...
The price difference is about the same as well!
This is getting ridiculous mate
Mahindra is like a Bicycle? Your comment is more ridiculous than the video. I'm sorry.
U r dumb 🤣🤣🤣
Yeah but you can NOT tow 3.5t with a car license. Car license has a total of 4.5ton max on it, you must get a Lt licence
Mahindra engines are perfect
ever owned Toyota Diesels ? i pray that once in life you get to own Toyota Diesel Engine powered Vehicles , to have a reference level , to know what you are missing in life
allot of Mahindra fan boys/girls here.
In the end it comes down to the fact that the landcruiser has a cult following for a reason, people know they are overpriced but they still buy them anyway. what does that tell you, people dont mind spending the money because they know what they are getting. A solid built 4wd with plenty of power, factory lockers, solid front axle and the aerodynamics of a brick, not to mention the resale value of the landcruisers is nearly 3 times the show room price XD. Dont complain because you cant afford one, just buy the mahindra and drive around the laughing stock of all 4wds.
Dude wtf
We have the same pic as our profile piv
I do agree ,even I own one Mahindra ! It sucks ! And actually you cannot get a good vehicle at a cheaper price ! Toyotas have given us everything:-reliability ,value for money ,after market value ,capability,etc ! And still most people are becoming cheap like Indians and becoming enthusiastic for the crap which you get at a less price ,just because it is cheap ! It is like comparing the Dodge Challenger with the BMW 6 series! The 6 series might be expensive,but it still makes us buy the BMW over the crap challenger !
@@Countrysideboy247In that case it is better to buy volvo high power 10 wheeled truck than this toyota. Much more reliable and powerful. Will that really make any sense spending that much money? It is not about what one is purchasing but about real affordability and not mere show off.
Pabitra Sen shut up ! First of all you Indians are not at all into such activities like off-roading! Have you ever owned any land cruiser ? Because land cruisers are not even produced in your country! Do you know about the Pakistanis ? They buy Toyotas because they are reliable,robust and can last even more than 450,000 miles ! Just convert that to the metric system! And don't think them to be stupid buying expensive things ! They can even buy a Range Rover evoque by saving a little more ! But they have something known as common sense ,so they buy something as reliable as a Toyota! And just stop underestimating Toyotas! They have made one of the greatest cars ! Like the supra ! What has Mahindra done ? Just made some ugly licenced version of the jeep cj3b with 50hp tractor engine ? And stop behaving like an idiot! It is hard to get any car below the price which you can expect ! Covert the average price to Indian rupees ! Might be like in your country 25 lakhs ! Damn ,many people in India are buying cars of that price ! Like the ford Everest (Endeavour) ! And if you are really into buying something cheap,then it is the Suzuki sj413 (Gypsy) !
Both are second to non in their own worlds
I don't mind spending a lot in a Toyota,because Toyota is still always good even if it is a second hand
U can buy it but we will buy mahindra
Sunil Ipe ,oh I guess you support all those morons like baba Ramdev,who uses the crap Scorpio! Abhe chup re chutiya!
Rise!😘🇮🇳
yes but still the land cruiser is one of the all time best , it's not all about the spec-sheet, the quality of those parts are crucial for a offroader and availability of those parts
I'm an Indian, & I hate this single cab look of the Mahindra Scorpio pickup. The double cab version looks good, feel good, but this one 🤮. Maybe its functionality is VFM, but rest sucks.
Old td42 would work for me
Land cruiser são forte de guerreiro aqui na africa não é para carros como mahindra não é carros confortáveis duradouro é land cruiser..
Mahindra engine are far superior than Toyota
Just work horse
You definitely brought a knife to a gun fight

India exports cars 40% to Latin and Central America. Few to EU and Africa mostly to UK, Algeria etc. Least to West Asia, Central Asia or South East Asia!!!! Suzuki started operation from 1980 and now has Hyundai, Ford, BMW, GM, Volswagen, Lamborgini, Toyota, Audi, SAIC, Chery, Jaguar etc etc. Dislikers can buy costly cars and waste money as Indian cars are worth money but do not make bad comments as no one will believe it as sales doubling in South America after 5 years of operation.
As per cost mahindra is bst
Mahindra is good,my favorite
