2024 Mahindra Pik-Up on/off-road review (inc. 0-100): Why spend 2x on a 70 Series?!

Рет қаралды 231,077

Күн бұрын

It seems like madness that you could spend twice as much as the Mahindra Pik-Up's purchase price on a Toyota LandCruiser 70 Series...but that's the reality! Paul Maric tests out the 2024 Mahindra Pik-Up Work Pack to see if it stacks up against the LandCruiser 70 Series.

People don’t give Mahindra enough credit. Everyone ridicules what they don’t know. I find Mahindra to be very reliable cars, and why not, they have been catering to a massive multitude of their own country’s residents in some challenging agricultural environments. Come to think of it, the whole time I worked in a multi-brand dealership, the only brand I never saw come back on a tow truck was Mahindra. Tells a good story, I think.

Agreed.

@elliotkane4443 Ай бұрын

That's probably more than a little misleading - How many Mahindras did you sell? I've been in 1, fairly new, the owner was an operator on civil jobs - Not bad, it compares to a y61 Patrol or a 70 series cruiser but everything is smaller and the seats are better. The manual gearbox seems pretty weak, I struggled with it a bit and I drive manual all the time.

Yeah, most of the top spec utes will be sitting on the bump stops if you put 1000kg in the tray/tub, because they have "comfort" suspension given that most people just use them for the family bus. Any ute that can handle that weight is going to be pretty firm when empty.

very good & unbiased review Paul. we have been using a detuned version of this engine in India's north eastern states where there are sometimes no road. these agricultural pick up will not win any beauty contest or a 0-100km sprint but they will keep on going. they will still drive with diesel mixed with 30% kerosene & still won't stall. yes, they are very capable work horse & like you have said, they can carry a lot more that what Mahindra states they will. oh yeah, they will last 200,000 kms very easily without having to break a bank to keep them running. not a looker or a sprinter but does what is suppose to do, often without failing. the newer version have a better engine

Great review as always! Was keen to hear your thoughts on this one. Have had one of these for the last 6 months - I live in a semi rural area and it's perfect for handling country roads, paddocks and national park 4wd tracks. Easily takes big loads from the landscape supplier/timber yard etc too. It feels totally fine under 100k's even with a full tray - but overtaking is definitely a case of waiting for a nice clear stretch and plenty of run-up time 😅 also it has the turning circle of a bus, I'd never own it in the city or suburbs, but then I don't reckon that's what it's for to be fair.

@mikeykeyes 9 ай бұрын

exactly meant for rural. Overtaking IS an issue because these days at least in Northern Rivers no one likes being overtaken even if on one lane roads they sat 30km under the speed limit so your vehicle must be able to do 10% faster than the moron who speeds up on dual lanes. Otherwise if it is a country road forget it.

Well, I've had, used / abused a couple Toys since 1.995: three FZJ73: two petrol 4.5 liters + carby and one 4.2 TD, plus a series 80. All of the above, no issues. BUT I'd suggest keeping in mind these Mahindra TANKS have been abused for decades during the dreadful Monsoon seasons for decades since late 1.940's even in India, Himalayas + places where roads are barely vestigial, stuffed with ppl + food + building materials, etc, etc. I actually have witnessed mahindra 'jeeps' from 1.950's still being abused (almost..) in the worst conditions. From muddy "trails" to grinding deserts. A couple of those were well over 250K miles. (ER/ ICU ex- Military MD here).

I have the last manual version, haven't put 20k on it yet. Couple of warranty issues but overall I like it. I think it was money well spent, you do notice the great fuel economy pretty quickly. The power will be too much of a problem for some. Also the clearance is a bit of a problem for me. The biggest issue you will face if you are thin skinned is the snobbery of other 4wd owners. People laugh when they hear you bought a Mahindra, even had a 4wd accessory shop guy basically looked disgusted when I parked it in his shop driveway. Those snobs can all get stiffed tho, I am a happy S10+ Mahindra owner and will spend my hard earned $ on mods & accessories. It's a fun work horse. Lovin' my "curry cruiser".

Their global pickup looks very promising indeed. It does need great engines and transmissions, full time 4x4 for use on high traction roads. A ton carrying capacity. 3.5 tons towing and a base version with 150hp diesel with top versions having up to 250hp. Comfort and driving dynamics plus quality, refinement and interior room needs to be world class competitive and the price should be the final decider.

Reasonable door closing. A mate bought a Great Wall and when he got into our 3 year old Corolla he grabbed the door handle and slammed it shut with so much force the car rocked side to side and I thought he had caused some damage. It was a wonder to me that the inside door handle didn't come off in his hands. When I asked him why he was trying to wreck our car he looked at me blankly and said that's how he has to shut the doors on his GWM vehicle. I mentioned to him that he could close the door on the Corolla just about as softly as could be done and it would still latch....he was astounded. I tried the door on his GWM vehicle and he was right, I've you didn't slam it like you had the arms of a pro wrestler it just wouldn't latch.

Seems pretty good for the money. Also seems like it could be a little brisker with a different mapping for the transmission, seems like it won't hold higher revs at the higher road speeds.

I would say the mahindras better traction though, the LSD in mine really lets it down :(.

I'd love to see your testing include braking distance after 5 consecutive stops from 100-0; to see what cars are more prone to early brake fade.

People don't do that on the road only race track. I don't see people using these on the race track.

@@Robert-cu9bmIt can also happen on very hilly roads (on or off road), especially given his comment about the gearbox in manual mode not wanting to hold gears, so engine braking may be of limited use.

I have 2015 pikup and a lc79 2020...the mahindras brakes are as good if not better than the 79. The mahindra is a decent little no frills work hack, trust me.

@rajivkarnik9636 6 ай бұрын

Love your reviews, Yes - could you do a comparison with a 70 series 2.8 auto?

@hedydd2 9 ай бұрын

It’s not far off the power and torque of the recently replaced Ford Ranger in 2.2 litre form. That has 150hp and 350Nm but has substantial lag from idle when pulling away, especially while towing. The 2.2 Ford is only tier5 and is very thirsty with no Adblue. [The Ford 2.0 Ecoblue is in a different, higher league]. I suggest that the Mahindra’s engine and transmission will be adequate to get the job done. It has a 1970’s generation 4wd system though. For the price its not a bad work truck.
