Had mine for over a year and have close to 7,000 miles on mine. Absolutely love it! Nothing to break with everything being manual, solid axles, and a very fuel efficient diesel. It's the perfect back road and woods Cruiser in my opinion.
The Roxor is really a cool vehicle, I saw one in my area that is kitted out nicely for farm use, I could easily see myself getting one over a side by side. The diesel and manual trans is perfect for the application. Great video Brock!
Nice video! I checked one of those out a few years ago when the grill was different. The axles are a Dana 44 variant and take all the parts like gears and lockers available the D44. As you alluded to - it's pretty much a Civilian J five with a lot of parts availability. Of course they make diesel tuners for that engine and governor delete.
Just got mine 3 weeks ago to work here on the farm and not beat up my pickup. So far so good. Had some snow and it did well. Not being real heavy helps with not tearing up the grass like a 3/4 ton pickup, and having a 3500 lb towing capacity is something I’m looking forward to trying out with firewood. Cargo area is big enough to carry fencing tools and a roll of wire. This should work.
7:130:00 Super nice! The 5-lug wheels are a nice feature. Heavier duty than most of the toy-like rigs most often seen in the market!! After DOGE saws off EPA's horns, this would look much more attractive as a street-legal machine and the conversion would not necessarily be so expensive a proposition.
I've been wanting one of the Daihatsu Hijet mini-dumps for a while. The Hijet has the smaller wheels, and that's concerned me for creek crossings and such when the water is up a little. This Roxor could be the answer. I like that it has full size tires on it, has an enclosed cab option, and that it's diesel. Except for the dump bed capability (which I don't really need), the Roxor could be the new winner for me.
You can put ATV tires and a lift on those mini-trucks. Much cheaper than a UTV/Side By Side. The mini-truck is more practical due to the larger bed, and hydraulic or electric dump bed options, available rear lockers, I think a few may have a front locker but I haven't seen any up for sale in the US...Some of them have ac as well...even a new mini truck (which you can't even bring into the US as a street legal vehicle) is around the $24-26k range with the dump bed, larger wheel/tire package and lift kit to make it more capable....they also typically come with air conditioning and the factory heater/defroster....to get into a UTV/side by side with all that you are looking into the $50k and up price range for a full cab with heat and AC.
I test drove one 2 years ago in Wyoming. Mahindra build GP's (general purpose) for the allies in WWII. These things are 10x better than any common side-by-side. Also, 3/4 ton rating. They are very solid.
They look to be great machines. My only concern would be the weight of it in off-road situations where lighter SXSs would likely get around easier. But, for any other situation this thing looks great.
I am going through this exact thinking.i could get a used (beaten up) 4 x 4 for 8k. The ? Is this 8k machine might break eah time a take it on the farm. Parts cost a fortune, and i am not a mecanic.
I bought one a little over a year ago. I'll have to make a video on it for my channel. So far, the only complaint I have is that it's a rough ride when driving on our pastures. Road driving is fine.
Its a pretty nice vehicle. Not perfect, but what is. Great for gravel roads, but really rough across a pasture. Leaf springs at all 4 corners and I'm still working on proper springs and shocks to improve the ride. I put on taller tires and lowered the pressure and that helped a bunch. Under 20k when I bought it less than a year ago in Texas. Great bargain for the money. Turbo Diesel with power brakes and steering. I've spent 5k on improvements including roof and windshield, but the best item was the half doors, which really cuts down noise and dust flying off the front wheels.
It was perfect in 2018 and 2019 when it looked like a jeep. Now it looks like Sid the sloth. I almost bought a 2018 but ended up with a Polaris instead
In other countries that Roxor is actually nothing more than your world war 2 Willy's Jeep but with a diesel engine in it rather than the old flat 4 Hurricane Engine. I kind of want one of those mini-trucks from Subaru, Suzuki, or others....the new ones I think cannot be brought into the US, but the older ones are brought in all the time...the downside is they're right hand drive, but you can get them with dump beds locking differentials, heat/ac...and about 1/2 the cost of a UTV (side by side). Most run a 660cc gas engine. A side by side (UTV) with a full cab, heat, and AC is well over $40k, you are looking closer to $50k or more....and people drive them on the roads....so there's no reason the Roxor cannot be street legal....reason they are so up tight about it is because they were sued for using the Jeep grill/body....but in other countries mostly India, they actually still own the rights to build the old world war 2 Jeep, so technically they weren't doing anything wrong....the fact is Chrysler/Stellantis, or whatever they call themselves now couldn't stand there is a very affordable very capable comparable vehicle out there compared to the over-hyped, over-priced Wrangler. I'd buy the Roxor before I'd buy a Wrangler. Although I'd want one with a cab, try driving one of those down a highway in the winter without a cab. The diesel engine has some low end grunt that the gas engines just don't have. The mini-truck would be more practical around the property because of the bed size, full cab, and capability...the Roxor is more of an offroad toy than it'll ever be a UTV.
Brock, odd question, but how tall are you? I'm not really close to a dealer, so I don't want to drive 180 mi. RT, only to get in and jack my knees. I'm 6'4", but I can't find comments on fitting bigger guys. One of my gripes of other sxs, they need a touch more knee room. I'm not a huge guy, but sliding out is a must, you can't just turn and get out without a little knee cap tap.
I am 6 foot tall. My son has a 1999 Jeep and I feel like this has more leg room than his jeep It’s basically a jeep Wrangler with a diesel engine and no turn signals. Because it’s sold as an off-road vehicle it doesn’t have some of the unnecessary electronics that a modern vehicle would have. But it has automotive quality axles and brakes and transmission. If I got one, I would put turn signals on it and I can legally drive it on the road where I live. That’s not true in all states. I wouldn’t be taking it on the highway, but I would drive it into town to the grocery store and stuff like that
@RockhillfarmYT Thanks! In my area, I will be able to do the same, as long as I add the signals too. It's a really appealing option. I don't use my SxS to trail ride, so I don't need the GPS and all the things they seem to want to add that push it to a $30k+ utv. What I do need is what this offers!
I have a polaris RZR and 2019 Roxor, RZR is for fast get the blood pumping fun and high maintenance 😢 the Roxor is for going for slow all day rides in the mountains enjoying watching Deer and taking in all Gods creations at 32 MPG on diesel , very little maintenance like a truck.
I think most of the side-by-side’s on the market are plastic crap. This thing is a legitimate off-road vehicle. Has automotive axles and brakes with a diesel engine I’m just a regular guy saying what I see. No affiliation with the company or the product.
@@RockhillfarmYT It depends on what you use an off-road vehicle to do. If one is racing or doing real robust fun stuff an automotive suspension isn't going to get it. I do have a Kubota RTV and it has a plastic hood. It works fine for what it was made to do but many other vehicles for off road are much better choices with other options for other uses. I can see that your vehicle is right for you and that is all it needs to be. Have a good day. There are a lot of different opinions out there.
@@jean-yvesdurocher8467 Its legal.its an offroad vehicle.probably falls in the same category as heavy equipment or tractors.Been legal and for sale in canada for years now.I looked at them several years ago,except there pricing is too high for where its built and what you get.
Yeah, I think the difference is 10 years later. This is still going to be reliable and powerful. Automotive style brakes, axles, and transmission make it a legit off-road vehicle
Yeah to get the same stuff in a side by side with a full cab/heat/ac you are looking at $50k+....and the headaches of very terribly built frames, and drivetrain that doesn't hold up over time. The Roxor is built on the old world war 2 willys platform, Mahindra India still holds the rights to use that platform after all these years, and basically just made the Willys "Jeep" more friendly with an updated transmission and a diesel engine. If I recall you can even order lockers for the Roxor if you want them. They come with open diffs from the factory just as the old Willy's did.
There were some legal proceedings between Jeep and Mahindra from my understanding. They are allowed to manufacture this and sell it but they’re not allowed to compare it to a jeep so we didn’t do that on camera.
@RockhillfarmYT ya from what I heard jeep got mad cus it looks like a jeep an there not get any money for it The hol story is on TH-cam some where basically, Jeep was bullying Mahindra for making it and trying to stop them jeep gut greedy. And try to stop Mahindra. So mahendrik changed the grill and kept selling. Lol basically. I'm sure you've heard the story. Or at least some of it love the content, keep up good work.
Actually that's what they are, they are the old World War 2, Willy's platform, Machindra India still has the rights to manufacture them, so yes it actually is a "Jeep" by what people think of a "Jeep" as....or rather a GP actually.

no its not. get an old jeep, pre 1980. simple to work on. street legal in all states. cheap to insure. tough as a brick. made in USA.
We have one. It is a 199 that needed quit a bit of work for $5k. The difference here is that instead of being rusted out, this is brand new with a diesel engine
Howdy Brock! I absolutely loved my Emax Mahindra... until I didn't lol. Can't get anyone to work on it, so it has to go to a dealer... closest dealer is an hour away. And he has already told me he has no idea what could be wrong with it. Even submitted a request to the factory reps for the engine and so far haven't heard anything. Sad thing it is probably just a sensor... but there isn't any diagnostic port to plug into, so it will be trial and error replacing them one at a time. Probably wouldn't keep me from buying another Mahindra if I was looking at them but still... Ugh! Sorry... bad morning lol 🤠 Is a sharp looking side by side for sure - I have heard they are tough as nails. Thanks for sharing 🤠
A friend of mine has a Mahindra tractor that's got several hydraulic issues with the loader because of how they designed the hydraulics, and always being operated in rough conditions all the hard lines break over time, multiple times because there isn't any flexibility to absorb all the frame/body jolts from regular operation of a tractor....so the lines get stressed and crack and break. Glad I didn't go with any of the knock off brand machines, you get what you pay for with them, headaches when things go wrong....and most people of course aren't gonna tell you that part.
@wildbill23c actually I think that’s the number one thing people are going to tell you. If you go online, you’ll hear much more about the problems than the good running machines. I just personally know several people who have owned Mahindra tractors for a long time and never had any problems. I’m not advocating for Mahindra. I don’t have a personal stake with them or personal experience. I’m just saying that I wouldn’t look at an individual customer complaint that strongly. I hear horror stories from every brand, including Kubota and John Deere.
Should have bought this instead of our 2023 John Deere Gator 835M HVAC Cab unit! We made it street legal for Okalhoma and it was a total NIGHTMARE. Reliability was absolutley horrible!!!! It was at our dealer more than in our driveway. 12 Month warranty.... yep, alternator blew in month 13, $1,1100 bucks!!! Sold it... and took our loss, good riddence, JUNK!.When I complained... the salesman said... "well, you guys drive it a lot"!!! Under 200 hours... didn't see that in the manual? We're seeling about $100K of Deere stuff, screw them... I didn't leave Deeere, they left me!
More high-end toys aimed at people who cant afford them but lust after them. This industry is going the same route as the rest of the recreation companies.
So if it's an offroad vehicle then why does it come with those little "road tires". I know that someone probably calls them "All Terrain tires" but they are not. I want this thing coming with legit off road tires if I were to buy one for a farm or other off road work site. And it should come with a winch standard for that price.
I can say anything I want, but the Mahindra employees who agreed to be on camera with me are not supposed to compare it to a jeep. So so I was being respectful of that. There was litigation between the two companies. It’s all settled now, but they avoid using that brand name.
Why did you need to censor your speech when it came to the conversation about Jeeps? You dont work for Mahindra. you can say what ever you want. The rep cant.
Please explain what you mean… Because I don’t understand your comment I knew nothing about these and saw it as I was walking around the show. Seems pretty cool. I was learning about it with the audience exactly like someone would if they were actually at the show. The point of me putting out the show videos is to give that experience to people who aren’t able to attend. If you want something rehearsed go on company websites. This is TH-cam.
@RockhillfarmYT That sounded more snarky than I intended. Sorry for that. I thought everyone had seen these already, and the conversation came across a bit stilted. I'm considering buying one myself. Thanks for sharing this with everyone though.
@ my audience is all tractor owners and rural property owners who would want a side-by-side and my guess would be that 75% of my audience has never seen one of these. I review Equipment for a living and I had never seen one Most Mahindra dealers don’t carry them. I have a Mahindra dealer 5 miles from my house and they’ve never had one.
@@RockhillfarmYT They purchased a license to produce them, yes, and a lot has changed in the world since 1947 - Particularly in India. I think I'll pass.
Buy a Kawi Mule and be done with it. PS; Mahindra Tractors are known for their electrical system nightmares. I'm not sure what state you're saying these can be made street legal, I guess in states where you can register them as UTV's. They do not meet federal D.O.T. regulations (for road legal vehicles). Looked into these a few years ago and was initially impressed with them, but as the saying goes- "The whole story is in the details". Just saying...
Here is why it bothers people that Deere is moving Manufacturing. All of the foreign based manufacturing companies are investing heavily in building manufacturing plants in the United States. All of the foreign tractor companies. Every single one. Those foreign companies are creating American jobs Meanwhile an American company is doing away with jobs. Shutting down existing American manufacturing to move it. Which has nothing to do with choosing an off-road vehicle that is like a tank over a plastic golf cart for a side-by-side
Deere has a bunch of Indian tractors. Jeeps have been built in India for decades. All models, including the front steer. They still look like Jeeps there. Jeep just doesn't want them in their market.
Do not buy a Hson side by side my son purchased one and it had been nothing but trouble,he has had it two years and not the transmission went out in it.These side by side are nothing but junk.
There are hundreds of overhyped golf carts, calling themselves side-by-sides already on the market. Just get one of those. I look at them and see a power wheel. This is a diesel powered off-road vehicle with automotive quality axles, brakes, and transmission that you can drive for the next 40 years and 200,000 miles
@@RockhillfarmYT Power Wheel is exactly that LOL. Tractor Supply sells an electric Golf Cart now...WTF kind of nonsense thing is that....and it only has a 15 minute run time on the ridiculously over-priced battery...made by Greenworks....yeah for the same price you can get a regular Go-Kart, and throw a larger engine on it and have a dune buggy LOL. I haven't seen anybody up in the hills/mountains running around on those electric side by sides, still running gas/diesel machines up there, so are all the farmers/ranchers. Those electric side by sides are just for people to have an excuse to get out on public roads that have no business driving in the first place.
What a great little vehicle. Mahindra sounds like a good company. Thanks for showing this. I also like the sales guy with the two thumbs up at the end. Nice work my guy .!!! 🦾🎯
Think about the power that a 55 hp tractor has. You’re asking a lot less out of this vehicle then you were that Tractor. The diesel engine has a lot more torque and you’re not driving it at highway speeds.
It’s essentially a new Jeep, which would cost you 45,000 so I would say it’s about half price You can easily spend a lot more than that on a cheapo side-by-side without the build quality

Mahindra (India) didn’t build anything for the Allies in WW2. All the GP’s were made by the Willys Bantam company or Ford Motor Company.
They look to be great machines. My only concern would be the weight of it in off-road situations where lighter SXSs would likely get around easier. But, for any other situation this thing looks great.

It looks like the. 1952 Willys Jeep I learned to drive in.
Mahindra was one of the companies that manufactured the old Willie’s Jeep
This is really cool. But I have never quite understood why spend 20-30 on a SXS when you can buy a beater 4x4 for much less.

no its not. get an old jeep, pre 1980. simple to work on. street legal in all states. cheap to insure. tough as a brick. made in USA.
I own a 99 Jeep Wrangler. I would still buy this.
In the midwest, jeep frames rust through in 10 years. Either junked, or rebuild on a new frame.
funny how they are just coming back to the old cj2a from 1947!
Although it looks rugged and well built, it to heavy and too wide for where most people in the Northeast use SXS's
I love my old Jeep!
Off road avoids tariffs
Buy a beater Wrangler for a few grand.
We have one. It is a 199 that needed quit a bit of work for $5k.
The difference here is that instead of being rusted out, this is brand new with a diesel engine
Is it 4x4?
Yes
Howdy Brock! I absolutely loved my Emax Mahindra... until I didn't lol. Can't get anyone to work on it, so it has to go to a dealer... closest dealer is an hour away. And he has already told me he has no idea what could be wrong with it. Even submitted a request to the factory reps for the engine and so far haven't heard anything. Sad thing it is probably just a sensor... but there isn't any diagnostic port to plug into, so it will be trial and error replacing them one at a time. Probably wouldn't keep me from buying another Mahindra if I was looking at them but still... Ugh! Sorry... bad morning lol 🤠 Is a sharp looking side by side for sure - I have heard they are tough as nails. Thanks for sharing 🤠
Thanks for sharing your experience with it
A friend of mine has a Mahindra tractor that's got several hydraulic issues with the loader because of how they designed the hydraulics, and always being operated in rough conditions all the hard lines break over time, multiple times because there isn't any flexibility to absorb all the frame/body jolts from regular operation of a tractor....so the lines get stressed and crack and break. Glad I didn't go with any of the knock off brand machines, you get what you pay for with them, headaches when things go wrong....and most people of course aren't gonna tell you that part.
@wildbill23c actually I think that’s the number one thing people are going to tell you. If you go online, you’ll hear much more about the problems than the good running machines.
I just personally know several people who have owned Mahindra tractors for a long time and never had any problems.
I’m not advocating for Mahindra. I don’t have a personal stake with them or personal experience.
I’m just saying that I wouldn’t look at an individual customer complaint that strongly. I hear horror stories from every brand, including Kubota and John Deere.
It’s a modern vintage Jeep.
Should have bought this instead of our 2023 John Deere Gator 835M HVAC Cab unit! We made it street legal for Okalhoma and it was a total NIGHTMARE. Reliability was absolutley horrible!!!! It was at our dealer more than in our driveway. 12 Month warranty.... yep, alternator blew in month 13, $1,1100 bucks!!! Sold it... and took our loss, good riddence, JUNK!.When I complained... the salesman said... "well, you guys drive it a lot"!!! Under 200 hours... didn't see that in the manual? We're seeling about $100K of Deere stuff, screw them... I didn't leave Deeere, they left me!
Has anyone ever set this up to be flat towed behind an RV?
I am more interested in looking at the machine then looking at you two . What's the deal lets see more of the unit and not you two
Do you live under a rock? They've been around for years.
More high-end toys aimed at people who cant afford them but lust after them. This industry is going the same route as the rest of the recreation companies.
So if it's an offroad vehicle then why does it come with those little "road tires". I know that someone probably calls them "All Terrain tires" but they are not. I want this thing coming with legit off road tires if I were to buy one for a farm or other off road work site. And it should come with a winch standard for that price.
You are basically buying a stock jeep for half the price. After that, do what you want with it
Maybe just keep your old jeep!
Why is this 90% video of people talking and virtually no video of the vehicle?
Why cant you say Willys?
I can say anything I want, but the Mahindra employees who agreed to be on camera with me are not supposed to compare it to a jeep. So so I was being respectful of that.
There was litigation between the two companies. It’s all settled now, but they avoid using that brand name.
Still No tilt steering on new units 🙃
Why did you need to censor your speech when it came to the conversation about Jeeps? You dont work for Mahindra. you can say what ever you want. The rep cant.
I've been interested in one for a while, but this video seems so forced. You guys should have rehearsed one more time.
Please explain what you mean… Because I don’t understand your comment
I knew nothing about these and saw it as I was walking around the show. Seems pretty cool. I was learning about it with the audience exactly like someone would if they were actually at the show.
The point of me putting out the show videos is to give that experience to people who aren’t able to attend. If you want something rehearsed go on company websites. This is TH-cam.
@RockhillfarmYT That sounded more snarky than I intended. Sorry for that. I thought everyone had seen these already, and the conversation came across a bit stilted. I'm considering buying one myself. Thanks for sharing this with everyone though.
@ my audience is all tractor owners and rural property owners who would want a side-by-side and my guess would be that 75% of my audience has never seen one of these.
I review Equipment for a living and I had never seen one
Most Mahindra dealers don’t carry them. I have a Mahindra dealer 5 miles from my house and they’ve never had one.
@@RockhillfarmYT hat tip to you, sir.
It looks like an Indian knock-off jeep.
Mahindra was one of the original manufacturers of the willys jeeps
@@RockhillfarmYT They purchased a license to produce them, yes, and a lot has changed in the world since 1947 - Particularly in India. I think I'll pass.
Buy an used wrangler
Buy a Kawi Mule and be done with it. PS; Mahindra Tractors are known for their electrical system nightmares. I'm not sure what state you're saying these can be made street legal, I guess in states where you can register them as UTV's. They do not meet federal D.O.T. regulations (for road legal vehicles). Looked into these a few years ago and was initially impressed with them, but as the saying goes- "The whole story is in the details". Just saying...
Where I live, any side-by-side can be street legal with just a few provisions
folks are getting mad at deere outsourcing, but then drool over imported indian rebranding of old american tech lol
Here is why it bothers people that Deere is moving Manufacturing. All of the foreign based manufacturing companies are investing heavily in building manufacturing plants in the United States. All of the foreign tractor companies. Every single one.
Those foreign companies are creating American jobs
Meanwhile an American company is doing away with jobs. Shutting down existing American manufacturing to move it.
Which has nothing to do with choosing an off-road vehicle that is like a tank over a plastic golf cart for a side-by-side
Deere has a bunch of Indian tractors.
Jeeps have been built in India for decades. All models, including the front steer. They still look like Jeeps there.
Jeep just doesn't want them in their market.
If not road legal then forget it, I'm not paying over $7k again for something that cant go on the road......................
You must live in a blue state.
@@benjaminhale1454 Yes, ME, and I hope no more blue people come here....

I can buy a new truck for the price of these damn things. Their price is plumb crazy
Do not buy a Hson side by side my son purchased one and it had been nothing but trouble,he has had it two years and not the transmission went out in it.These side by side are nothing but junk.
Stop those dirty words that have to be blocked! Jeep you.
Just buy a jeep
No such thing. Everything is relative.
Hardly perfect....nobody buys them...dealers have a hard time selling them....Hondas sell out fast...
For that price just buy a used small truck. These things are just a waste of money!🙄😂🙄😂
WAY OVER PRICED !
Wish it was a BEV
This is noisy and bad. By design
There are hundreds of overhyped golf carts, calling themselves side-by-sides already on the market. Just get one of those. I look at them and see a power wheel.
This is a diesel powered off-road vehicle with automotive quality axles, brakes, and transmission that you can drive for the next 40 years and 200,000 miles
@@RockhillfarmYT Power Wheel is exactly that LOL. Tractor Supply sells an electric Golf Cart now...WTF kind of nonsense thing is that....and it only has a 15 minute run time on the ridiculously over-priced battery...made by Greenworks....yeah for the same price you can get a regular Go-Kart, and throw a larger engine on it and have a dune buggy LOL.
I haven't seen anybody up in the hills/mountains running around on those electric side by sides, still running gas/diesel machines up there, so are all the farmers/ranchers. Those electric side by sides are just for people to have an excuse to get out on public roads that have no business driving in the first place.
There is one street legal version available in India.. please search... Mahindra Thar....
What a great little vehicle. Mahindra sounds like a good company. Thanks for showing this. I also like the sales guy with the two thumbs up at the end. Nice work my guy .!!! 🦾🎯
55 hp . That’s alot LMMFAO.
Think about the power that a 55 hp tractor has. You’re asking a lot less out of this vehicle then you were that Tractor.
The diesel engine has a lot more torque and you’re not driving it at highway speeds.
ur out of ur mind
In that you would rather have a glorified golf cart than a true off-road vehicle?
To much money. Hell I can buy there tractor for that price. To much money. Want buy it. Take it to Chevy dealer or Ford dealer.
It’s essentially a new Jeep, which would cost you 45,000 so I would say it’s about half price
You can easily spend a lot more than that on a cheapo side-by-side without the build quality
