Yea bro, mahindras are strong and low maintenance
Dont make your chinese husband angry

I've been an active unit standards qualified advanced 4x4 operator, facilitator and trainer in the 4x4 comunity for most of my life. I've owned and been exposed to most of the 4x4 vehicles in South Africa from Mercedes Unimogs to jeep cj2a's. The Mahindra PikUp s6 Karoo 4x4 double cab we have owned now for last 6 months has to be the most pleasantly surprising all round motor vehicle I've come across so far. I work extensively in rural areas and spend as much time as I can with my fellow Bush junkie wife in the back country from alpine terrain in the Drakensberg Mountains to remote Bush tracks and game reserves. I'm confident this vehicle will deliver the goods with no fuss. Wel done Mahindra!
Here in India its every where
I live in a Indo-Nepal border town and you ll find Tata and Mahindra everywhere bcoz of its reliability .In Himalayas its a reliable vehicle
Here in abu dhabi I know one guy who owns a 2006 2.6l diesel which has went over 450,000!
Shubham, early Mahindra trucks in Australia were not very good, but these newer models have taken the company to a standard you can be proud of. When I buy my truck to go beach fishing and off road I will buy a MAHINDRA and support the great nation of India.
@@Gamingwithshubham284 na, its costlier. Thar is still better
@@Gamingwithshubham284 no man. Gurkha is just a contraption
Actually Indian Vehicles are more cheaper, reliable and durable than Japanese / Korean Vehicles.
But Japanese and Korean Manufacturers give better After sales service.
Mahindra is known for SUVs with solid build and extremely reliable engines.
lack of qaulity control as of recently though
good to see these Mahindras getting use in new markets. they're tough as nails. you see them everywhere in India and in Himalayan mountain passes.
One area Indians have always trailed behind anyone else is marketing: for instance M&M somehow isolated Queensland as a separate country whilst promoting M&M. Any other developer such as the Chinese brand, will target the whole country and build up network first. This is perhaps why India inspite of being the most civilised country in the world once (when the rest of the world were still learning the basics) is now in the bottom rung of the ladder copying the West instead of leading from the front. In India especially regional areas, vehicles have to be built like a tank to withstand roads that are akin to the outback and glasshouse mountain tracks plus capable of being fixed with wire, ropes, rods etc to keep them mobile. So I can assure anyone buying a Mahindra, structural integrity would be better than many expensive brands. There might be small niggly and irritating issues with hoses, pipes etc though.
Very True
come to Mizoram.....best place to test off roader...u dont see road u make one....Gypsy are still the best though...
OFFTOPIC WARNING: Reason we are copying Western countries is because we have been fighting a war to preserve our culture for over a 1000 years and at this point, we've lost most of that culture, the rest is outdated as it couldn't grow properly for the past 1000 years. Our civilization is scarred. It will take a lot of effort to rediscover and bring up to speed our old civilization. Its easier to just give up on it and lap up the Western culture, especially because the isolation afforded by a language barrier is now gone in India (contrast that with how Japan and China manage to retain their identities due to the language barrier).
.
Moreover, our civilization is still under attack and most don't realize it. Look at how our own government and constitution subvert our own civilization. I am surprised we are still around after all this. I think if we don't change our ways, our civilization will die just like the South Korean one within the next 150 years.
@@death_parade Well, we can atleast save a bit of our original culture if anime or other Japanese content gets popular here. It hurts to see how much we are enslaved by the west. But even the Japanese are now adopting western culture and leaving their own, bit by bit. Maybe in the future there might come a time when rest of Asia develops so much that we stop copying west and bring back our original traditions.
@@death_parade just keep making those scorpios and parts for them
My next work and playhorse, for sure. Simple, affordable, tough and reliable. What's not to want?
I have a pikup as a farm vehicle and for travelling and I have to say it’s the only 4x4 I’ve ever had (and I’ve had and still own just about everything except a Range Rover ) that I enjoy driving.. if I have a choice of a short or long way somewhere I’ll invariably take the long way
I am very proud to work in the mahindra service ❤️
Excellent video, excellent vehicle, we have these vehicles in my country, but people prefers the traditional Utes, I think the problem is the Dealer, that needs to be more aggressive and use different tools and videos like this to promote the product, thank you for this useful review. Greetings from Costa Rica, Central America.
Actually Indian Vehicles are more cheaper, reliable and durable than Japanese / Korean Vehicles.
But Japanese and Korean Manufacturers give better After sales service at their dealerships.
Problem with Indian vehicles is that a lot of poor people especially those in transport sector buy these vehicles and dealerships can be heavily crowded with Taxi drivers / pick-up truck drivers and you will find yourself one amongst them.
Most educated people in India don't want to be counted amongst Taxi and Truck Drivers. So again sales of the Indian vehicle suffers.
Japanese and Korean cars are overpriced and private Dealers treat their customers better as they have brought **EXPENSIVE** vehicles.
@@visalakshimahadevan612 i wouldnt say its anymore reliable than a 79, but it is half the price
Looks like a pretty solid alternative proposition to the mainstream 4WD utes.
However, my concern would be the national dealer service support network and availability of parts.
Busted a couple of wheel studs once years ago and managed to limp into Laverton WA. Pretty much in the middle of nowhere. Went to the one mechanic shop in town and asked if they had any wheel studs for a 75 series Landcruiser Troopy. Bloke looked at me and asked how many I needed and that was that. He even put them on for me.
If Mahindra has the same ease of getting parts when things go wrong (and they usually do at the worst time), yes definitely I would consider getting one.
Mahindras don't break down. They are super cheap to fix...
@@maplemumbai dont jinx yourself
That's a chicken and egg situation. You won't buy because they don't have extensive service network and they won't set said network because not many people are buying
It did the old coach road! WOW!!
Pity we don't have Mahindra dealership network in South Australia, I'd be interested in getting one if we did.
Yeah, funny you say that, I've been interested in these but then found out i can't even test drive or buy one here in SA. How would servicing work?
@@sylerknight7280 yeah we always get left out
@@shraygautam2500 Yep, it's like the middle bit of Australia doesn't exist for a lot of people. Pisses me off a bit at times.
@@sylerknight7280 talk to the importers in qld you dont need a dealer to service them
Bro you can tweet Mr. Anand Mahindra he is very active on twitter. And I hope they gonna improve their network in SA.
In India where Mahindra is based originally , the vehicle goes through worst conditions than shown in the video... its reliable for ages even with bad maintenance and worst road condition.
We were supposed to get a M&M pick up here in the US just as the recession of 2008 hit. That and a few regulatory snafus doomed the Mahindra Appalachian. Some day maybe!!
If they introduce the new xuv700 it will be one of the highest selling cars in Australia for sure
It is a very good car but may not sell well. The brand Mahindra has built there is of tough, rugged work horses. If people want luxury and features, they would most probably buy other brands but yes it will be one heck of a statement from Mahindra. And it will surely leave mark on peoples mind.
Its looks like a vehicle on work for all heavy rough work this types of vehicles will definitely help in rough and mud situations for all emergency public work
Very impressed to be honest. I live in Townsville also, and bought a new Musso which is great and I'm happy. However, I would definitely give this a go when it comes time to get a new car again.
Mahindra 2.2 litre diesel goes 350000 km without any problem in India
Just look at the terrain here.
Here in abu dhabi I know one guy who owns a 2006 2.6l diesel which has went over 450,000!
underpowered
@@hunni_chan they aint going for any race
@@RAHULVISWAN if its a race who can make it to the end of the track then yeah they are
We have a 2014 model , love it , but look for the 2.2 tdi mhawk Swedish engine model , as it is extremely reliable and performs exceptionally well at low rpm , low rpm means less stress on the engine , which means reliability
A new mahindra suv just came
Actually seeing it properly working offroad is great.
I found similarly with dual cab navaras. Lifting wheels might frighten some people but it's not really limiting with lockers.
An excellent review. Good narrative with video to show what you're talking about.
Glad you liked it! Thanks for watching
Great video, and a very knowledgeable opinion.
Much appreciated!
The mule that travelled with the great stallions carrying food and water for the pack through the paths only a fraction dare to travel , like the camera man who ran ahead of the sprinters in a race
Wow!
It's reliable, all the relatives of mine have this vehicle
Mahindra is always a top competitor.Always reliable
Suresh, do Indians put their own home made diesel fuel into the tank?
And if so, how does it run?
Thanks mate.
@@truthlifefishing1730 We don't put HOME MADE diesel fuel. We go to HP, Indian Oil or BPL fuel stations to buy Diesel.
@@protograde2723 Petrol Stations !!! WOW. That's interesting. Thanks
Excellent presentation.
Thanks for watching
Got one. It's a great unit. Single cab with the pastoral pack. Bought it because my Ranger is still in for repairs. It carries my Northstar Camper no worries. Mike what's involved in the heavy duty suspension upgrade and what does it cost?
EFS brand Mahindra suspension upgrade with a few extra springs on the back to carry the extra weight of the canopy. Boss brand airbags. You can find out more in our latest update - th-cam.com/video/FNmXzw7eQ4M/w-d-xo.html
Great work and glad to see this product getting the attention it deserves. How heavy is that canopy addition? It was noticeably moving as the Ute moved over heavy terrain? Do you have any concerns on chassis integrity?
Good questions! Jamie at Allytech would be better to ask about the weight but we would guess it is around 700-800kg fully loaded. You can find out more in our latest update - th-cam.com/video/Le-_2YjsFnY/w-d-xo.html
I'd love to see these in the USA
Were you using falken wildpeak at3w on the mahindra? They're a great tyre.
Toyo M/T LT 245/75R16 Open Country
Great video
Glad you enjoyed it
I’m getting one!
Dope ! Mahindra is good suff 👍
I’d love to know how much one would cost in auto with that white service body on the back. Only thing I’m concerned about is watching the video, it looks like the body on the back has quite a lot of movement over the rough stuff. I think I need some assurance that it is in fact sturdy enough?
Good question! We purposely put a very heavy load the back to push the car to its limits. This was all for test purposes to see what the car could handle.

I love Mahindra
I finally have the funds to buy a mahindra pik up s10+ but sadly there's no stock currently in nsw Australia 😟
Check out that chassis flex with the canopy on the back!
We overloaded the canopy to push it to it's limits. You can see our update here th-cam.com/video/Le-_2YjsFnY/w-d-xo.html
Sadly we don't get these here in India. The one with Eaton diff locks, bakkie and UTE body styles.
Does that snorkel cause any issues in heavy rain since it's placed almost straight
We haven’t had any issues with rain getting into the snorkel.
Best vehicle ever made
Are you using the factory setup suspensions or after market suspension??
EFS Mahindra suspension upgrade plus 3 additional leaves on the back plus airbags.
See this video for more info th-cam.com/video/FNmXzw7eQ4M/w-d-xo.html
Here in Australia it's mother land cruiser 79 is not letting her take it's space.
I've have Mahindra Bolero Pick, Scorpio, Bolero Plus and Tuv300 as a workhorse for my small company. The Mahindra Bolero Pickup and Scorpio model are Really Reliable Never had a breakdown or Major Problems but the Bolero plus and tuv300 has many reliability issues. Especially the Tuv300, Sometimes I just loss power and it even struggle to pull itself going on flat road, power comes back after few restart and the dealer has no clue, everytime we went for checkup this problem never comes up.
Now xuv 7oo
I hope you sell lot of Mahindra product 👍👍
How much was the Tray mate ?
Well done #Mahindra
Mahindra:rock solid reliability.many roads in Indi a are worse than outback.anyone who buys Mahindra will be happy.i have a Mahindra:in 9 years only one breakdown _drove it in bad terrain...built like a tank.
Are these amazing budget priced vehicles all time 4x4 or do we have the option of selecting 2 wheel drive when on the highway.
Hi mike what size tyre are you using on the mahindra
Toyo M/T LT 245/75R16 Open Country
Mahindra should give a big touch screen infotainment system , AMT transmission & TPMS in Scorpio gateway .
I'd drive it if you can sell them for a decent price in America. Gotta be cheaper than the Toyota Tacoma for that to work though. That's the top competitor for vehicles this size.
As a matter of fact I saw one first thing this morning, out on my morning walk here in Townsville in Oz. Brilliant truck for the price.
But guys, it's 2022, can we please have round cup holders for round cups...and not square cup holders please. An eight year old kid could figure that out?!!!
Nice car
Have you perhaps done a similar test and video on the 4x4 Scorpio? I'm interested iin purchasing it here in South Africa.
Aside from the issue of getting beached sometimes if u do not choose the right line off the road, no prblm...as far as I know! Still do research! Here in India it is a part of Mahindra explorer club, that has taken it through Rohtang pass, one of the deadliest and very high pass....
We don't have the Scorpio In Australia Yet, but We will be getting the new model. I would Guess 2023'
I get mine this afternoon a ute
Is there an automatic version coming this year?
Yes, the S11 PIKUP auto is now available and in stock at Mike Carney Mahindra.
Amazing👍😍😍❤❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉
Would love to see these on the roads in Australia but still to many redheads think Toyota is the best 4x4 ..... they're so wrong
In SOUTH AFRICA you get
Two Mahindras for the price of one Toyota TATA OR MAHINDRAS DO THE SAME JOB FLEET OWNERS BUY THESE VEHICLES
Mahindra The Himalayan mountain G.O.A.T.
Hope Mahindra introduce Scorpio N pickups
Not a bad little inexpensive ute to get people out in the bush ....
The only thing I’d be a little worried about is how much that canopy is moving back and forth at the 3:39 point 😳😳
Could do with the rear axle being mounted further back... but realistically if you're wanting to put a big camper body on and you're not needing the back seat you might be better off with the single cab?... I reckon any factory wheel base dual cab would do the same thing under the same conditions.
The issue that you are concerned about with long term chassis integrity is why it has the canopy and part of the testing. Should I find any cracking or other failure issues I will do a follow up warts and all video. But to date I have not experienced any issues with the vehicle.
@@chriscarney3256 there's plenty of big name dual cab utes our there bent in half... I have no concern myself with the movement it doesn't look so bad at all.
10/10 to you Chris for putting it through such a test. Send a single cab to Tassie. We have 45 Rangers and BT50 and our guys just keep finding new ways to kill them. Hahahah
dont even worry about it.The chasis is a chassis within a chassis.plus the pik up carries more than a landcruiser.I can put 2 600plus KG large bales on my ute without a problem
@@mottthehoople693 doing well then mate, as long as it does the job. Cruisers, on paper, are around the same rated payload five or take maybe 15 kgs but yeah as long as it does the job. I’d be more worried about it bouncing around with all the weight of the canopy past the rear axle. Just got to balance it out evenly I guess 😉👍
Can we see the full video
Rough and tough , Reliable mshindra,Indian Pride
IF MIKE CARNEY ADVERTISE IN THE NORTH QLD REGISTER OR QLD COUNTRY LIFE IAM SURE THEY WOULD GET COUNTRY PEOPLE INTERESTED
It's an Indian HUMVEE!! Yippee 🙂
These vehicles are doing well in South Africa
Two for the price of one
Big up,hence I'm owning s6 single cab 4x2,Karoo s114x2 auto and Scorpio pikup 2016 single cab.no problem.i don't dream of other brandz
Refer another India made vehicle Tata Sumo 4X4 TC to be continued...: th-cam.com/play/PLC5HFFYlUpB7PgjsZl_sehtBAbqcq10VB.html
At 2.08 the canopy and the cab got further apart looked like it could have went home shaped like a banana and the suspension has as much travel as a shopping trolley lol
We overloaded the canopy to push it to it's limits. You can see our update here th-cam.com/video/Le-_2YjsFnY/w-d-xo.html

Mahindra means build to last
Tested in Indian Himalayas
You little beauty..
Without extra struggle can enter in my farm means yes can fly in ur country🙏👍
In India we have lots of iron mines do we never compromise with metal. Take any car or bike from India U will get tons of metal free.🤗🤗
We have off-road roads in our entire country that's why Indians make off-road vehicle 😉
Mahindra engines is like a terror beast
Better check the safety rating of this vehicle...
It's performed in Himalayas and other places for decades without any breakdowns.. so yeah they are pretty safe!
Sadly crash test's have always been sub par. I do hope they start building them stronger and safer because it's a shame with the solid mechanical base they do have.
Indian engineering is the best
2:06 Side Steps gets deformed
I don't think any factory fitted alloy side step (these aren't tough like aftermarket steel rock rails/sliders) would have fared any better. I've got a Ranger Raptor and I bet the big surf board steps fitted to it (as strong as they "look") would bend on the same impact too... Most factory fitted stuff is there to help you get into the car, not to protect the sills.
Instead of listening to the background music, we could listen to the engine working under stress, don't you think ?
We have just the video for you: th-cam.com/video/VKqfZdcLlSY/w-d-xo.html
how about TATA ?
No tata breaks down mahindra is far far better this one is a luxury offering from others is bolero pick up all leaf springs tough as hell
@@aasishnechalee4121 Many people use both TATA & Mahindra cars from last 15-20yrs they haven't face any issue .
