My Scorpio with 2.2 MHawk is going strong with 568000 kms without any issues . Mechanically very very strong and sturdy especially engine and gearbox !!!
I'm hearing that the maintenance and repair bills are disproportionately high . Seems they have a creative marketing strategy , lure one in with a cheap initial purchase price then milk the client at the workshop
Hey mate, in regard to your comments about the fuel economy of the mighty Mahindra, I see you're getting 8.9 l per 100 km, very respectable. I just got back from a 4000 km round trip the stats came out similar to yours for 2000km unloaded I got 9.2 litres per 100 km and for the other 2000 km with a camper on the back, the Mahindra gave me an average of 13.5 Litres per 100 km, since being back with the camper still on the back I'm averaging 11.2 Litres per 100kms. But let's face it Bundaberg region is pretty flat. Anyhow congratulations on the 21500 plus views on your last video on the Mahindra, well deserved! Regs Baz
@@brocksinclair66 Ive sold it as the misso is getting a bigger car, I did 30k km it was awesome. Seriously really happy with it. Cant beat it for value and capability
Great review! I have an s6 Karoo 4x4 double cab model here in KwaZulu Natal and am yet to get stuck in it. I drive on really rough mountain tracks, rocky and slippery mud as well as soft sand. No problems! Really enjoying the great value for money!
Just bought one as a second car to my new Dmax, will just be my fishing Ute, hard to fault for the money, I found a second hand one 2 years old under 20k!
Hey mate, I was heading down to Brissy from Cairns last weekend, I was spotting Mahindras as we travelled... counted 10 in total including a familiar unit with two crabs on the door that I seen heading north around Boyne River region...👍😁
Haha tell ya mates ya mongrels you bloody legend cobber hahaha good to see you trying something out mate looking to get one myself mate keep us updated cheers 🍻
Bloody ripper mate i wasn’t to much of a fan of these till now soo much bang for buck u get im a ranger and np300 nav driver my self i have both utes but jesus defiantly going to go sus one of these out and test drive one 👌🏽👌🏽 for sure
Seriously, I own a 79... Value for money.. This thing is a beast. I test drived everything. Triton and Mahindra were the stand out. Triton is about 12k more
I have both too, a 2014 mahindra 4x4 dual cab with alloy tray and a 2019 79, the taj mahal is a blast. Use it for work and small trips...much easier to manoeuvre and drive daily, and gets along well.
Do you think a larger tyre would fit with the 2" lift ? Test drove one a few weeks ago in the Sunshine Coast, couldn't believe how nice and solid the car feels.
My Dad is visiting from the states next week. His first international trip, and what does he want to do? Check out the mahindras. And we’ll my prado is 22 now- good lord knows I can’t afford to replace her… I’m half looking forward to having a look at them. I wish they came in auto though.
Can u put a four inch lift kit in them? Wats it like to tow? Can u put a five post bullbar on it? Can u make it sound decent? Wanna no if it worth buying or not cause it will go to ute musters if I do
Can't go a 4 in, can tow 2.5 braked and it did it well. I have seen one with a 5 post on it, sound decent, what do you mean? The 2.2 purrs. It was an awesome little runaround ute for me. It did 60000kms with no issues and heaps of sand runs.
gday mate love the setup got an s10 dual cab myself. just curious what model the switch for the redarc controller is. is it mahindra specfic or did one form another model fit, because in know that particular switch socket is on a bit of a weird angle
It was'nt a Mahindra specific one, not sure what model sorry. Not sure where you are located but if you see Alex at Bundy Mahindra he will set you up. Thanks for the support and enjoy the Mahindra, awesome rigs.
Giday. We are planning on buying one also. How is your Fuel going. They tell me i can get 17 inch Wheels etc.. Do you know anything about the Upgrade Turbo and Chip Kits for these littke doggies. Ahava Emek .Sarina.
Ful is good around 9 litres per 100. There are heaps of mods, wheels etc for them. Haven't looked into the chip or turbo upgrade. It drives nice as standard and its a daily for me so leaving the engine stock.
Not sure mate, I know there are some still going that are 10 years old. Ive only done about 17k in mine so far. I have a 79series also. The Mahindra is mainly my daily but it has been awesome. Its super cheap on fuel, comfy and a great size to park with the bonus of a pretty big tub.
I know everyone does this but really it’s not a good idea. Putting anything in front of the grille(like lights) it doesn’t take a lot of thought to place them somewhere else like on a bracket upside down. Thanks for saying your height, I’m 6’4” ant find most Asian cars uncomfortable smallish)
Thanks for the feedback George, Ive sold the Mahindra but it was an awesome car did 30000kms in itand didnt miss a beat. If you like the Mahindra's, take one for a drive. I dont think your height would be a problem in them.
Nice review. Just one concern as with many other twin cabs twice the price. The rear axle is close up to the cab wall causing two thirds of the Ute tray as overhang. With any load in the tub does it affect the steering and road manners? Cheers.
Hey Frank, Ive had about a tonne of soil in the back and it handles well. I do have upgraded suspension however. As for price, yes its a bit more than the single cab. I have a family and need the back seats. Thb is still pretty massive and as it sits with all the mods 40k. Not bad for brand new. Thanks for the support mate. Cheers
Hey Andrew, thanks for the support.. The Pikup is averaging 8.9l per 100k for me. Ive done some sand and recently low ratio but also daily driving and highway trips.
Hi, Did Mahindra fit all those extra accessories including lift kit off the show room? (Exc winch and spotties). I'm wondering if your way is a smarter cheaper way to go, over the Black MHawk Edition.. Cheers.
Interested in a cost breakdown for the mods you’ve added along the way… worth doing the black edition - Where bull bar, rims etc are included? What would say is best bought through the manufacturer vs outsourcing 🤙🏼
I dont think the black addition is worth it. Its mainly cosmetics. Not sure where you are from but Alex in Bundaberg did my build all ready for delivery. He was awesome to deal with and is the mechanic and the owner of the dealership. The suspension is an efs kit made for Mahindra. Tyres are black bear pretty cheap but are wearing well after 25000kms. Kings winch in a mahindra bar. Superfit seatcovers. Mahindra towpack and red arc brakes. So far its been a great little ute
Hey guys, thanks for the interaction, its a 2in kit from EFS specifically made for the mahindra, if you are speaking to a dealer about buying one ask them. Cheers guys
@@roadlesstravelled707 Alex at Mahindra Bundaberg, a serious legend. Owns the dealership but also the mechanic. Tell him I sent you and he will hook you up!
It was available in India earlier, as 'Mahindra Getaway'. I'm not sure if it is available now. As 'Mercedes Benz' said, India doesn't have much demand for 'family pickups' as family vehicles, they are mostly used as commercial transport, and for that Bolero is there. But I had read somewhere that 2022 Getaway is meant for both domestic as well as export market.
@@swapnilp5774 yup I got your point exactly like force trax and gurkha kind of vehicles not getting any recognisation but they are literally the most capable vehicles of the whole subcontinent. It's sad😤
@@Mitochondria709 Agree with you. Trax, Gorkha, Cruiser are really sturdy and capable vehicles from Force.. Cruiser was quite successful as a passanger 'for hire' vehicle though. Also there have been rumours about next gen Trax.

I have a gq patrol and honestly the mahindra makes sense. Good to see vehicles getting back to their roots
I've got a 17 Isuzu d cab ,sux on fuel ,no lsd in my model ,hopeless 4wd , done sus ,exhaust, snorkel, think n about one of these
Drove a Mahindra and was very pleasantly surprised after being skeptical for years
Yeah mines done 27000km now and its been awesome as a daily and bits of offroad.
I'm hearing that the maintenance and repair bills are disproportionately high . Seems they have a creative marketing strategy , lure one in with a cheap initial purchase price then milk the client at the workshop
Got one love it. Had a Patrol, 2 x Hilux and a Ranger previously.
They are great, good value. Thanks for the support

Thanks for the support and great info on the fuel economy. Mines in for its 10k service as we speak.
I can’t wait to see more on the mahindra, I like them a lot
Thanks for the support legend!
I love these utes. They should flog Toyota share at that price. I drove one and they are a perfectly fine utilitarian vehicle.
Yeah absolutley, I'm loving mine so far. I've just dropped it off for the 10K service and going awesome!
@@TwoCrabsAdventures hey mate wondering if you still have it and if its been good
@@brocksinclair66 Ive sold it as the misso is getting a bigger car, I did 30k km it was awesome. Seriously really happy with it. Cant beat it for value and capability
Awesome rig, this will out wheel a 79 and some. Could buy 3 of these to one 79.
Yeah, It has really suprised me. Loving it!
Hahaha please, out wheel a 79. Please explain your statement, have you owed a 79
A lot of truck for the money. I'm buying one this year
Yeah the little mahindra was awesome for me. Only sold it due to increasing rego's as I have a caravan now also.

Yeah they are powerful, and with the traffic here don't get to use them much.

Hi,
Did Mahindra fit all those extra accessories including lift kit off the show room? (Exc winch and spotties).
I'm wondering if your way is a smarter cheaper way to go, over the Black MHawk Edition.. Cheers.
Mahindra did fit my accessories, the Bhawk was cheaper but the accessories on them aren't that useful. Mainly cosmetic.
Mate, if you don't mind us asking, why didn't you go for the mHawk pack ?
Hey mate, didnt like the stickers etc. So I chose to option up with the savings. Lift etc. Thanks for the support.
Nice car
Are they factory rims?
They are the black edition rim. So yes Mahindra rims.
Hey can we get another update with how the rig is going
New video coming out soon, but just to keep you in the loop. Its going strong. 26000km. No faults and been an awesome dail driver.
@@TwoCrabsAdventures that's great I'm tossing up between a Mahindra single cab 4x4 or a petrol triton 4x2
Super
Was the lift kit from the factory as well?
Hey luke, it was installed prior to handover by Alex at Mahindra. However its actually an EFS kit.
What about Thar?
Not in Aus Yet, looks good though!
Fiat won't let it launch in Aus.
how much was the efs lift kit?
It was 2300, make the ride hight about 50mm higher.
