Mahindra Pikup - Modifications and 5k Review

[@GJGamma]

I have a gq patrol and honestly the mahindra makes sense. Good to see vehicles getting back to their roots

[@davemitchell4329]

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

[@rodneyemmerich8828]

Drove a Mahindra and was very pleasantly surprised after being skeptical for years

[@TwoCrabsAdventures]

Yeah mines done 27000km now and its been awesome as a daily and bits of offroad.

[@rodneyemmerich8828]

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

[@sidharthshivappa1359]

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 !!!

[@KitchentoCampfire]

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

[@TwoCrabsAdventures]

Thanks for the support and great info on the fuel economy. Mines in for its 10k service as we speak.

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.

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!

[@TwoCrabsAdventures]

Thanks for the comment, I will be taking the hindra through some tougher stuff soon.

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

[@TwoCrabsAdventures]

Thanks Mate, I have a 79 also but Im super impressed with the Hindra so far.

[@drunkenprofesser9258]

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

[@TwoCrabsAdventures]

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.

[@mollywalters-vx9sw]

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

[@TwoCrabsAdventures]

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.

[@grantsimpson628]

Great review.... I like 'em.... might buy one, maybe...😁👍

[@TwoCrabsAdventures]

Go for it, I'm impressed with mine so far.

[@judehiggins90]

You might just have me convinced to pull the trigger on one.

[@TwoCrabsAdventures]

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

[@neilw5198]

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.

[@frankguernier2280]

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.

[@TwoCrabsAdventures]

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

[@Mr._A685]

[@TwoCrabsAdventures]

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.

[@lovelyaustralia1984]

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.

[@TwoCrabsAdventures]

Mahindra did fit my accessories, the Bhawk was cheaper but the accessories on them aren't that useful. Mainly cosmetic.

[@fullyautomatix2351]

Mate, if you don't mind us asking, why didn't you go for the mHawk pack ?

[@tahliam8468]

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 🤙🏼

[@TwoCrabsAdventures]

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

[@TommyGunOZ]

how much was the efs lift kit?

[@TwoCrabsAdventures]

It was 2300, make the ride hight about 50mm higher.

[@Nae395]

[@TwoCrabsAdventures]

This was a little weapon.

[@georgem579]

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)

[@TwoCrabsAdventures]

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.

India doesn't have this family pikup culture. Here Pikups are only used as mini trucks.

[@swapnilp5774]

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.
