While we wait for Mahindra…

Saturday, July 17th, 2010

Truck ProfileThings have been a little slow around MahindraTruckForum.com while we wait for Mahindra to bring their trucks to the US. While that could still happen this winter, that’s a good 5 months away! So, the people that brought you mahindratruckforum.com(ok, maybe it is just one guy), have been laboring night and day to bring you another truck site that you will enjoy.

Ladies and gentlemen, I bring you the new and improved TruckProfile.com. TruckProfile.com has been an ongoing project for the last few years. It has seen a couple different faces in that time while we figure out the best route to take it. Finally, a couple months ago we found the right concept, and the right developer to put it all together.

So, what is TruckProfile.com?

TruckProfile.com is basically a social networking site for trucks and their owners. We aren’t trying to replace forums or trying to take over all the truck sites on the internet, but we think we can do a good job of showing off your truck. As we grow, we will probably provide truck news, contests, and provide resources for modifying your truck.

When you become a member of truckprofile.com, you create profiles for your various trucks, share information about your trucks and upload pictures of your trucks. While we are in beta, most of the information on the site is pretty raw and displayed with very minimal formatting and design… but we kind of like that.

We have many plans for TruckProfile.com‘s future, but we are trying to take it one step at a time. Please help us make this first step perfect by joining, adding trucks, and uploading pictures. If you see any bugs, we would love to know about them! You can send feedback to info@truckprofile.com.

Mahindra Truck Blog Site Updates

mahindra-logo-21-jan09We added some new pages to this site that we think people may want to refer to about Mahindra & Mahindra and their United States offerings. You can quickly access these pages by clicking on the links on the sidebar. To give you a brief tour, we added the following pages:

About Mahindra & Mahindra simply gives a brief background about the Indian automaker that’s bringing these clean diesel pickups to the US. Mahindra 2-Door Diesel Pickup describes the TR2, Mahindra 4-Door Diesel Pickup describes the TR4 and Mahindra Sport Utility Vehicle describes the Scorpio. The preliminary specifications stated in these pages are based on the Mahindra media kit.

In addition, we also added a Mahindra dealer directory wherein we incorporated the list from MahindraPlanet.com with a couple other dealers from various states that we compiled. The list now includes the following dealers:
