I agree about the warranty. When I read that, it sounds like “that’s almost as good as GM’s warranty”, not “wow, that’s up there with Hyundai, Honda, and Toyota.”

But, still, I’ve been looking for a compact pickup truck with better mileage and better technology than my old Ranger, and the specs on this truck are interesting enough that I hope to test-drive one.

one other thing they need to change the warrentty to way longer as the market most likely to purchase these trucks will be high mileage and work trucks. so they really need 150,000 miles and 5 year or 6 year

I would like to know more specs. Does it have high and low range. whats the trailer capacity? Is the rear diff a full floater or semi floater, does it have limited slips in the base model? is 2 wheel n 4 wheel selectable? does it have a diff lock for the transfer case or what? I have been wanting to see someone build a pickup like this for years. The price is a little high if compared to 1/2 ton or 3/4 ton trucks. If this really has the goods it will compare with 3500′s and 350′s and then the price becomes very competitive if not blowing away the competition.

Come on guys… look at the benefits…
1) RELIABILITY One third fewer moving parts to worry about. Less friction=less problems.
2) POWER Torque, pure and unadulterated. ‘Nuff said.
3)FUEL MISER… with V8 torque.
4) SIMPLE SYSTEMS Who needs a dvd navigation in a work/play truck anyway? As for me, I like roll-up windows. (Once you’ve had to escape from a Buick underwater you’ll understand.
4)It WORKS HARD

and finally, if you don’t need a truck like this…. then buy a Tacomacar

22K for the regular cab? No thanks, I’ll have to pass as I imagine quite a few others will pass as well.

And 25K should completely cover up the hard loaded 4×4 crew cab.
Well, let’s put it this way. Mahindra is selling them for a lot less down in Australia. Why on earth would I be willing to pay more?
The answer, I’m not.

You have to wonder if price will matter. The TR20/40 will be very unique to the pickup market. 1-ton capacity in a small truck, with diesel power. We haven’t seen this since Toyota brought dually mini-trucks to the US in the 1980’s. Mahindra needs to build some buzz and create a positive spin on the US perception of Indian-made vehicles.

It will definitely be interesting to see what happens! I do wish they were under the $20k mark, I think that would be very attractive to people, and I might even be able to buy one!

I really do feel that the price is a little steep. I can see where Mahindra is coming from. If Toyota or Ford built a diesel truck with the same specs it would no doubt be priced at or above what Mahindra is planning. The problem is with buyer uncertainty — which is a real problem considering the way people feel about spending their money at this time. I think Mahindra will find that they will need to offer some pretty serious incentives to get people to pay $22k to $25k for an unknown truck.
