- Our trip last week Feb. 24,2019. Attempted to take the back road to Crown King, AZ a day after a record snow dump. Most of it in 4 low. A couple of vehicles up the trail that got hung up and had 10 o so backed up. Maybe I might get a drone for stuff like this. So we turned around after about 3/4 way up the trail. It was a good day none the less. Not too many times we see these conditions.
The Roxor did well considering it’s stock. This trail isn’t that hard, rated as moderate. But the sloppy conditions more of a moderate +.
Great video. The Roxor performed much better than expected with open axles and All Terrain tires. Very impressive..
For what the Roxor is it's capable if you don't push it beyond its limitations. A good example of a capable driver knowing his vehicle's limits.
That’s the terrain the original Jeep was made to operate in. Add the agility along with capability of towing equipment helped win WWII. I want one.
Red, White & Roxor will leave most ATV's in dust. Lifted, lockers and tuned diesel torque. If somebody looking for perfection, check out his videos.
Rauley Shar all of those sxs could go further than that roxor u idiot. Roxor had no ground clearence and they weigh 2500 lbs. To do all the work you said you are looking at 30k us dollars. For that price a lifted sport sxs would have so much more performance for the same price. It would be a softer ride it would have better traction and more hp and tourqe and be way way faster and safer with a full roll cage. You dont know what you are talking about. I own a roxor that has all you wanted done cost 30k. I have a 30k honda talon 2020 lifted and everything and the talon is way way way better in everyway including reliability. Once u start lifting and putting big tires and more power the roxor will break shit just like every other machine. Sorry to burst your bubble. Go spend the money like i did find out for yourself.
The Emerald mmm k. Glad you just outed yourself as a poor fuck. Roxor only beats the talon in towing heavy loads and thats it. Talon is much much better
@@gsfbffxpdhhdf7043 don't forget that Roxor is a relatively new 1st-generation product for North American market. Mahindra plans various improvements, like the lockers, improved automatic transmission, better turning radius, and even more lift. Any vehicle can break down, but the simplicity of Roxor means less bells & whistles that can break down. It's not as cramped as a Ranger, or a Pioneer, or a Talon. A lot of people like modding and customizing vehicles, which has helped to boost interest in the Roxor. Why pay more for a UTV with more expensive stock parts you're going to swap out anyway? If you don't like something, don't buy it, but consumers benefit from more choice in the market.
The roxor won the ultra4 nationals stock class nuff said where it was competing with vehicles that had more power and expensive. The puny utvs will break all their plastic bits and that CVT belt before it takes even 1/10 the brunt the roxor can take. U do know that the roxor is basically a cj-5a with mahindra's own powerplant, they got the license from willys back in 40s. The engine, chassis is basically bulletproof and battle tested. It's derived from the mm550 which was used by the military to negotiate rough terrain in the Himalayas. Again to each their own, the roxor has its uses. The low rpm torque no utv can match it has pulled semi trucks, tractors and even destroyed your glorious utv in a tug of war match just search in UA-cam, plus the accesories that u get is insane. Yes it's true it might not do the best in mud crawling and outright speed but it's one of the most balanced vehicle. U can go on ride with kids, in some states it can be made road legal, do farm and ranch work, towing, snow plowing, off-roading and so on.
P.S. try rock crawling with a utv before it disintegrates into bits and pieces. The sheer durability is what makes roxor so good and if it breaks( which all vehicles can) the simplicity is what makes it easy to fix.
@@gsfbffxpdhhdf7043 lol that's how jackass talk without knowing what already people achieved with roxor .
He spent only 2200 and here he is talking about 15K
In the North Eastern Part of India, where I live it's mostly rural hills with lots of rain and there are often floods. So, a strong sturdy car is needed to travel, Mahindra Bolero (same engine as the Roxor) and the Thar have been working for a long time to carry people anywhere and everywhere and also in many rescue operations. They are used by the local law enforcement, the Border Security Force, plantations and farms and even as Ambulances(extended wheelbase). These things are basically built like tanks with the technology being developed and fine tuned for over 70 years by Mahindra. If you need something for speed, you're better off with something else but if you want a real workhorse, something that will last for years, something that will go anywhere with some tuning, go for the Roxor, totally worth it.
In the hands of a good driver Roxor is unbeatable off roader. Never thought Indian vehicle could get this type of respect or maybe world has not seen much of what Indian engineer have to offer. They are top in IT but this is an altogether different game and Indian have done well and have proved to be a worthy inheritors of a great tradition called JEEP
Damn sorry to be blunt I am an Indian but there is so much fallacy in your comment, 80% of Indian IT engineers are not engineers but basically humans who know how to copy paste, regarding roxor it's not much engineered differently from the willys license, its the same CJ 5/7 design with some improvements although I love the mahindra's build and reliability but has little to do with engineering.
@@jasmeetsinghhundal4870 Really?!?! So engineering has nothing to do with reliability?!?!
I just realized that comment is so moronic that I am wasting my time writing an rebuttal to it...I wouldn't have posted this much, but I already committed the time.
Eyellgeteven its an american design u dumb fuck. And actually it is a shit sxs compared to my pioneer 1000. And my rzr forget about it has 200hp and will destroy this roxor
@@gsfbffxpdhhdf7043
Really dude. You dare comparing a belt driven screeching fragile toy with this thing which help winning WW2. Dude really?
Get one & your gradndkids would still be driving it long after your gone....
Idiots are everywhere,,,
Great vid! I love seeing these Roxors in action...I'm right on the edge of buying one, only thing stopping me, is finding the time, since the nearest dealer is about 1 1/2 hrs away.
Eyellgeteven lucky you! My nearest dealer is 18 hours away. Still tempting, though. Street legal here.
Great video, there is definitely a Roxor in my future. Thanks for sharing.
With a PTO and locking axels there’s nothing you couldn’t do with it, simplicity equals brilliant ideas
06:09 Jeep be like, Ok I will back up! You got places to go XD
I haven't had the opportunity to take mine out in this kind of terrain yet, but it was very impressive to say the least. Mine should be tuned within 2 weeks and lockers next. I can't wait!
Decades ago USA came up with the best offroading vehicle ever in the form of the Willis Jeep. Roxor is an American vehicle made on the original all American design and which is why it is the best there is. Interesting to see how an Indian company recognizes the absolute genius of the American engineering while Americans themselves buy Hondas and Toyotas. Come to India, we have mad rugged Mahindras based on the original Willis beating the longetivity out of the Toyotas. My respect to the original Willis engineers.
Interesting Point you make sir... Until now I have not become familiar with this vehicle. It seems, coupled with original Jeep design, the diesel power plant, offers many possibles to outward bound regions of the world. One being this unit could offer a front & rear drive coupler so as to hook-up too a generator set. Other possibilities could be agriculture equipment in various forms. Keeping to the shaft power drive, saw mills could prove handy. Diesel engines offer up all sorts of creative possibilities to off-grid living circumstances. Mainly due to torque, and economy

great vid; despite the crowd it seemed like everyone was pretty courteous, and i think that means a lot. i would've expected needing better tires than All-Terrains for that slop but you really kept it humming along nice. Sweet trail, good driving and nice to see you putting the Roxor to task!
I was watching for a minute thinking, "I wonder what tires he has?" then I remembered seeing the BFG spare. I'm impressed that handled that mud and snow with very little problem.
We called this "Thar " in India which has more polished interior and meant to ride in the city too, despite of having off-road characters. Mahindra is known for making heavy duty trucks and farm vehicles. They put their DNA into this vehicle. Very capable.
For the money? You can’t beat it!
Hope ur back was ok after the ride like this with the leaf spring suspension 🙂🙂...awesome off-road driving. Watching this video was refreshing with all the scenic views...
Do This with Wrangler (Fake Jeep) and you will end up in a repair shop.
Ghost Gutarist R U serious? I now own a Rubicon but I have owned 2 other Wranglers and my son still has the 95 I handed down to him. Been to Moab 2 times, Grand Mesa 2 times and ran Browns Camp about 100 times now. The 95 has a Detroit locker and about 240,000 miles with one broken axel so far and one new rear drivel
Hey.
? Been far worst than this several Wranglers I’ve owned no problems. You wheel anything hard, stuff breaks
What’s a teal jeep
Nice video, I like that the engine is quiet, my sxs we have to scream to hear each other at 20 mph
Bw Yyy and that counts for a lot, I’m 53 and I can’t take the loud pipes anymore
Did this trail the week after you (I think) was alot drier - we made it up but bashed the underside of my truck up pretty good on that obstacle (thanks Ice!) you got turned around on. Bummer it was so crowded, I'm sure this Roxor would have done just fine. Thank you for the video, I plan on being down in February to do it again, this time in my CJ7.
Seems unstoppable
Intresting part when Rubicon n Roxor came face to face 😁
Cool video 👍🏿 for showing off AZ,I’ve never been up there with snow on the ground looks fun little cold for sure.some of those water crossings are deep in early spring depending on the winter we get but fun trail has good mix of terrain. Thanks
Mahindra is very popular brand in India. Specially in the farming community.
it had been great to see the outside of it some time
Thanks for the video, when I get my cj5 running I would like to attempt the trail. Now I know kind of what to expect.
Great video. Love the Roxor. My wife and I would like to get one but New England is no fun and doesn’t allow us to register them. Dirt Legal seems a bit shady.
No doubt Roxor is rugged vehicle
80 years later there is still nothing like a Jeep. Even when you call it a "Roxor."
Check out mahindra thar
Wow! That is a rough trail indeed....you're a decent driver...any modifications?
I noticed you had the wife along...she's a trooper.
Yes, 11 yo son.
The trail wasn't that rough. Just sloppier than normal. I always thought it was more clay but apparently it's not. No mods yet.
Mahindra roxor is good cant wait till jeep goes out of business for building overpriced garbage
That looks like a lot of fun
if next gen roxor comes with differential lock.. this thing unbeatable trust me😀
edit: in india mahindra thar is similar to thar but Street legel...
JK ENTER 10 It’s there in the form of Mahindra Thar crdi ! Limited slip Mechanical Eaton diff. lock on the rear axle. I have one of them ( 105bhp and I think about 247Nm torque); far better than the standard thar/ roxor.
even a bicycle is street legal on streets and highway XD
CRAZY how busy the trails are there!
Yes sir-it is worse here in California as levels of government close off public access. It is why I surrendered to the many causes and reasons I once enjoyed our great outdoors. Other terrible reasons are far too many trash our wilderness areas even vandalize parks horribly. Spray paint rock formations, hack away at giant sequoia redwood trees. I have decided to not to involve myself any longer to such irksome crowds.
@@garbinator09 😥
A wonderful machine handled by a great driver.
Boy!! Now I want one for the ranch (maybe 2?). 😍😎
Mahindra cars performs on Himalayan roads with little or no regular maintenance from the owner this is nothing for it
Balaji Krishnaswamy yall bunch of idiots. It needs lockers. The terrain in america gets way way worse than himilayas u will get stuck in mud bad rock falls on the road idiot
@@gsfbffxpdhhdf7043 idiot this is not eveyday road in America, its just for adventure where as the main roads in Himalayas look worst then this.
@@gsfbffxpdhhdf7043 lol. If only you knew.
@@gsfbffxpdhhdf7043 bro you know that Himalayas is mountain line and one of the mountain in Himalaya is mount Everest the world's tallest mountain that place is on so high altitude and very few vehicles can survive
Shubham Bahirat you do know it has nothing compared to the muskeg i drive in. U idiots would sink and not move 10 feet into the trail.
Nice, trail looks amazing
you just convinced me to get one of these.
Wow awesome driving
I never knew there were parts of Arizona with snow - I thought it was all hot and dry over there
Nice Video!
Cool trail, Man were did all these people come from! Is it always that busy in the winter?
Everyone wanted a shot at the deeper snow I guess. It's rare to get to hit that trail in those conditions. No one made it up and only takes one to block the rest in certain areas. It was cool trying though and yeah, I wasn't a fan of the crowd.
Looks like it was a great day to be out.
Instead of roxor , they need to change the name to mountain goat, it really likes to climb on the rocks.
Great video, this trail looks tough.
I enjoyed this video !
All this on a stock roxor
Binod O'DYA for the $ ? Shit man you can’t beat them
If those side by sides would have just gotten out of the way...
So is a rear locker of some kind on the modification menu any time soon? An on demand locker would be one of the early modifications I would do for a Roxor. Followed by either a lunch box locker or on demand locker for the front. Those are expensive, but I consider them to be the most value added items I could install.
It did fine with open diffs for now on that trail Lockers woldn't help me get past the others on the road. Only one spot in that creek could have used lockers but all I did was rocked it over. My 1st (next) mod is that oil pan skid. Then lockers, likely the lunch bock. and manual hubs I do a lot of on road use and I'm thinking (sure) I'm get better MPG. I have a list of mods, not many really. Keeping it looking stockish for the most part. Like the original old school look. Taller tires yes, not wider than 10.5. Maybe even old steelies.
Looks like they run old dana 44s. There probably are some locker or limited slip options with what's already out there. Also with the leaf spring under axle design it looks simple enough to bump these up several inches by just flipping the spring on top of the axle. I want one just so I cant start modding it up a lil and go play
Cool vid
thats an indian product baby proud to be indian
What a cool trail
Awesome 👍
I want one
MAHINDRA can't be sold with its original version only bcz of USA policies,otherwise it's a Indian army official tool.
TATA Safari defeated Mahindra Scorpio in Himalayas
Man if turned around 3/4 the way there you should of pressed on and drove to the freeway
does the Roxor drive and feel tough like the old CJ?
Pretty much identical except add that 4 cyl inline turbo diesel.
I thought Roxor's are not allowed on highways in U.S. ? Did I miss something in the video that mentioned about it?
Arizona and a handful of states allow it and other off road vehicles.
Since it's over 1000cc do you have to do emissions testing? What's it registered under (vehicle type)?
CK is a bitch when it snows, i've tried it one time on a dirtbike years and years ago and man did that day suck.
@@AZBADBOYz its kind of tricky. Mine is on a motorcycle plate (no emissions in AZ on that plate) but the plate only goes up to 2500 pounds and the roxor is 3,050. But since the state wants the tags and street legal for fire roads etc. so the 3rd party dmv I got wrote it for 2500 lbs and you pay full tax so its like $350 (goes down every year ) with the ohv sticker. But the state also thinks Base MSRP is $24,995 ( thanks Roxor for not fixing that) so I battled with the lady to get her to go on their site and see that they are $15995 Base MSRP. It makes a huge difference since they base the plates on that figure. If they put that figure in wrong from the beginning it can never be changed.So if they won't put it at $15995 leave and go to another 3 rd party. I wouldn't go directly to the state since they are more strict on everything. The Roxor is just so new that most states don't know what to do with it but they do want your money at least AZ does.
@@christopherfrye So you kinda just got lucky it sounds like. Going to be a shit show if you ever get into an accident with injuries on the highway. To me, not worth the hassle or risk.
I avoid state run DMVs all together, complete boobs working at those places, plus the cattle call is ridiculous.
Cool

Tough ride.mate

Ah yes, the people making roads impassable for everyone else. I wish they did for roads what trails do with mountain bikes... don't ride when it's wet, muddy, or snowpacked. That road will sit horribly rutted for years and will get horribly eroded in flash floods.

Some vehicle looks like plastic toy in your video
I don’t get these things, if you want slow, underpowered and small, just get an old Jeep and at least you can drive on the street!
I don't want to rebuild yet another old jeep. I already did 2 and I no longer have all the required equipment to do it again. And I wanted diesel. So it has plenty of low end torque. My last off road vehicle was a rzr 1000 xp4 which cost more and no where as durable although light and fast it was. Not everything needs the most power and speed. Sometimes its all about the experience. And I don''t think you got the part, we are in AZ, Watch the last 10 seconds.
In arizona where this is shot at, you can drive them on the street
