Part 1 | Mahindra ROXOR Overview w/ Dirthead Dave and Cooper
Вставка
- Опубліковано 22 сер 2024
- We got our hands on a Mahindra ROXOR--the newest craze in the Jeep off-roading industry. Not only is this rig a fraction of the cost of a Willys Jeep, it's also considered a UTV.
Our first "test" was a blast--we're already planning how to make this rig better for us. Be sure to check out our future build videos!

Funny how Mahindras are more of a Jeep than the Fiat "Jeeps..."
I mean, Mahindra's had the rights to build Jeeps in India for years, so it makes sense...
They made jeeps for 8 decades.. the design changes were limited to lawfully required changes .. they are definitely the real jeeps.. not the garbage that FCA puts out
I want one. It's basically what you get when you cross a CJ7 with a CJ3A.
Same width and personality as a CJ3 but as long as a CJ7 with CJ7 style bodywork and steering.
I think this is more "Jeep" then any modern Jeep being made including the Wrangler.
No, its NOT more Jeep than current Jeeps, they'd eat this things lunch off road, thats fact. And thats coming from a guy who owns 2 CJ-5s. Its a neat utility, but no its not "more" Jeep than new ones. Which have stronger axles, low gears, available factory lockers, available 33 inch tires stock, a even stronger diesel available, or even a Hemi. Get real
Mahindra use Eaton auto mechanical diff locks on the rear axle in India , where an upgraded version of the roxor called the Thar crde is made. I have a Thar crde and can assure you it’s really good off road. The crde version had independent front suspension as well as a proper turbo charger ( 105bhp 247Nm torque ). Indeed the roxor can be upgraded easily. The 2.5litre engine is extremely reliable and spare parts in India are dirt cheap ; any road side mechanic can repair this vehicle.
And sells for 9.25 INR which is around $13,000 USD for a fully loaded top of the line street legal vehicle.
@@keithlucas6260 It is excluding the taxes mate. Remember, the production cost and labour here in India are relatively cheaper than in USA, hence the price.
@@haseenabshaikh2477 ....on the company's website that was indeed the "list price", below it was the added 10.9% intrest for 60 months, the insurance costs and approximate taxs.
My Odes Dominator 800 was $14,500 for the top of the line model and was tax exempt only if used off road. Being it was street legal, if you chose to use that option the county added $2,700 in the "tax section". Registration is $45/yr.
@@keithlucas6260 In India, the on-road(including road tax, registration fees & 5 year insurance) price may set you back from buying a thar(road going souped up engine version of roxor) by 12-13 lakhs INR or about 17000-18300 USD. It is still very much affordable compared to the US prices of roxor but then again, Indian labour wages and prices for the raw materials are no where close to what they cost in US.
@@haseenabshaikh2477 .....yeah I saw that......most people ride bicycles or scooters as a result, plus it's healthier.
Watched a seminar by a 70 yr old guy who was supposed to die years ago, and some doctor told him to ride a bike, so he did....just like a kid, couple of houses and back, and after some time across town and back.....well I had to pull out mine I bought 20 yrs ago and it still looks brand new. Haven't ridden it in probably 17, but I'm up to twice around two houses from barely able to walk up a staircase...cheers
I want one so bad. I used to have a rzr 1000xp and a rzr 800s that I really didn't like that much. This is much more appropriate for me
Thank God for a real review actually got the thing dirty I like it thanks guys
Thanks for watching!
*I from USA,San Francisco I using Mahendra Since 70yr there no Major issue about maintenance and replacement ♥️♥️ And my Aston Martin giving 2 issue in 4yr I am huge fan of Mahendra Jeep*
Sure you are. This is the shittiest story I've read all day!
@@Ron.xionzre yeah that guy is fishy as hell
What an epic story..
@@harshittiwari9373 ww 2
If it was street legal, with a little more on it, it would cut jeep sales in half.
An affordable off-roader, removable top that is just as capable and wont have soccer moms driving their kids to practice in it giving u the "jeep wave" and expecting one back.
That's why FCA not letting it coming on street.. because they know Mahindra will whoop their ass
Nice that you can buy it for 1/3 the cost of a Jeep.
Lockers, big wheels and a light bar....bet it is super capable. Gotta get that that front diff off the ground.
This thing looks way cool!
China : cheap mobiles
India: cheap cars
Ofcourse India gives better quality
@Aathi Ganesan Compared to chinese they are wayyyy more reliable. In fact id say the reliability of Indian machines matches or even surpasses japanese.
@Aathi Ganesan പോ മൈരാ
Indian cars are meant to drive on Indian roads. It needs to be reliable.
@Aathi Ganesan XI-C ninte achante andi poi oomb kunna maire
I bought one in 2018..No issues at all..Chicks love it
Thanks. I think they will be big. Average people can no longer afford a Jeep Wrangler. Half a Jeep for half price.
Not half a Jeep, more Jeep that today's official Jeep!
Local mine just got rid of the side by sides they were using and bought four more Roxors after trying two. The side by sides did not hold up to the rigors of the mine
Its so basic and strong that
Mahindra is like: Go boys break it
Stupid us regulations. There is no reason these shouldn't be road legal. Its not up to the government to tell you what you can buy and drive. I drive old cars, always will.
The government is protecting the domestic product which is the Jeep Wrangler. I mean this Mahindra is pretty awesome.
Nanny state. Protecting people from their own stupidity/failure.
They assemble them in the u.s.
The government is not protecting a particular company, we're talking about basic road-legal issues, like windshield, braking distance, crumple zones, 30 mph and 45+ mph crashes...
Mahindra simply bypassed all that by going for the UTV market.
The average consumer does not want to commute like it's back to 1947. That's all.
Teo P this is not a simple commuter car and thus, your comment is invalid (typical). Its not the government's business to tell you what to drive. Its unsafe? Perfect! Here is a disclaimer to sign that if you die in traffic you / your family cannot sue as you took the risk upon yourself. DONE. Very soon the government will mandate self driving cars onto us, but, I'm sure you'll be just fine with that...
Oh, and ps: the best crash test is driver education on defensive driving, not a 5 star ncap rating driven by a distracted, on a phone, entitled and uneducated idiot
This is essentially identical to the 2nd WW jeep, whose licence Mahindra has I think since then to manufacture in India. This vehicle just keeps going no matter what, but no luxury. Rough. Earlier the Indian army had thousands of these, but now they have bigger Mahindras

The drama between Jeep and Mahindra over the design of Mahindra’s Roxor continues. The Indian company introduced the off-road-only machine in question back in 2018, though Jeep quickly tried to stop its sale in the US, claiming it looked too much like its Wrangler. The two have gone back and forth since, though today Reuters reports that the US International Trade Commission has approved Mahindra’s design of the 2021 Roxor for sale in the US.
When dirt everyday fails you so you switch to this channel.
ikr
These things are being tuned for alot more power stock, and removing the speed limiter. Also ox makes some really nice selectable lockers for it as well.
Also, put a big US Army Star on the hood.
Chamquila there’s a decal kit that has a Star for the Roxor
I plan on getting the tan and stenciling the Seabee emblem and battalion sticker on it. Probably a couple of Jerry cans also.
That sounds needlessly tacky
@@thetman0068 it's gonna look great on that color.
I see soo many people praising these Roxors. Must be a good vehicle for what its made for.
Amazing Legacy Machine! It's in market to bring automotive spirit back. It holds potential for customers required updates and development. It's just not a machine but a platform!
After market tunes are already unlocking a lot more power. 1. Lift 2. Lockers 3. armor 4. tune
2.5 liter turbodiesel can easily do 150hp no problem. Just need an intercooler and tune. This thing uses classic dana 44 axles so parts are already plentiful. It even uses brand new spicer 18 transfer case so you can add a PTO or overdrive (double overdrive) or both!
I have a mahindra and I love it
coop and dave are awesome! keep the vids coming!
Give me THAT Mahindra on the ROXX
Its sure looks like a lot of fun and for the price its simply amazing.
Mahindra Roxor Vs Suzuki Jimny . Their off road capabilities and your video will hit a million views
of course the jimny/samurai would win but, worth a shot 👌
Great stuff fellas! Please keep this going!
There's also a tune by VR to remove the limiter. It'll do 73mph
If played right this could be (vw Beatle) of 21th century.
that is our mahindra
That's American now.
@Ashoka Maurya
Haha thuglife bro.. thats a very thuglife reply..😎😎
@@rocketlaunch99
And ford is indian too...
@@rocketlaunch99 that's not 😂parts from India is assembled in us
@Aathi Ganesan everybody knows Americans doesn't respect Indians, they may not do so but Indians do respect Americans, believe that😤
I would like to see you guys put lockers in this and take it back out in the dirt and see how much better it does before you start adding big tires, lift kits and what not. I suspect it’s performance would increase quite a bit. YJ and TJ Wranglers are all at least l3 years old and older and good ones are still quit expensive. The JK and JL Wranglers are just too big, heavy and expensive for what I want. I have to go just over 100 miles to reach a dealer for one of these. I plan to make the drive soon.
When you can't compete fuck it up in court that's what jeep is doing.
Man yall need to build one on dirt everyday man that would be sick
The Mahindra ROXOR. Have options from factory with OX locking differentials front and rear. And Warn Winch.
Its small, light, and nimble, which is what an original jeep was supposed to be. Thats cool. But this vehicle more utv than jeep. Its neat, and will be embraced
I have had several Jeeps, CJ5 ( great machine ) YJ, TJ ( total junk. everything broke, rusting, or falling of with rust.Fenders, floors, steering, window frame, undercarriage, all rusting beyond belief. Even the most recent Jeep Liberty 2007 an insane rust bucket. They were only good for off road, because they would not work on road.If you notice, I did not mention the motor problems. Way too many to count.It won't be hard for the Mahindra ROXOR to outpace the Jeep legacy.
I would LOVEto have one in the Philippines... maybe I should look at the Thar's and compare cost. It would be used on road as well as off. It is everything I'd need there.
I don't think they have launched this vehicle in Philippines 🚫
@@informationtechnology4562 Acording to their Manila dealer they have it there. The Thar NOT the Roxor. The Roxor is only in the US I believe.
I like it and thanks for showing what it can do off road. If sold in Canada, it needs a solid cab with glass windows, heat and intermittent wipers for colder weather. Roll up windows are fine, no back seat needed, brake and turn lights, horn standard tranny is ok. An ability to tow a utility trailer. A basic stereo. Don't overdue the add-ons as it with turn into an electrical jeep nightmare.
I just saw a video from canada. The Canadian version has all of those things you mentioned, except side and rear glass windows.

Awesome video guys
Thanks Mark!
Dear brothers
this mahindra is a indian company
this model really mahindra make long time before in india. Also this one huge success in india.
This one we are using for high range. Also this mahindra is a hero in indians heart... pls check our indian model mahindra thar same like your jeep....
This thing really helpful in flood affected areas we got it's big bro THAR in India mahindras are workhorse and build to last and dirt cheap to maintain
In India Mahindra means reliability, where government couldn't built roads,, mahindra builts cars for that. The cars and engine are so rough and tough, even if you don't change oil in mahindra cars it'll still run, even if engine oil changes into grease.
There's no way to compare a Roxor to any side by side. They are apples and oranges. Most side by sides will do better off road than a Roxor. The Rox is a great nostalgic design vehicle better suited for farm or ranch work. The Rox will outlast any side by side 10 times over. It will out tow any side by side. The Rox is what Jeep should have done decades ago and the Rox shows that even current model Jeeps are a closer comparison.
They can be made legal in Montana.. and prob in AZ too as i use to see Razors on the Highway there
It’s a samurai replacement
Digging on this Jeep! Nice episode. Thank you!
Street legal? How fast does it go? I want one please
A newer model of this is mahindra thar u should also see thay one.
Ohhhhhh please build this!!!!
Thanks for watching, parts are in route. There will be more.
Hotdog you’re right on the money. Except it does have a PCU as its brain-child. I see this machine as a modern version of the historical MB military jeep. Diesel powered is the greatest part about it offering low torque numbers for low range crawl conditions. Now I want to see exactly how tall the original MB tire/wheel non-directional hight difference there is.
Finally someone who actually tests the thing
And more testing to come. Thanks for watching!
Vivid racing tuned one and got tons more power in one
I'm proud to be an Indian and I love this off road machine..thanks for the video
Americans also proud for selling Ford , Jeep cars in other Countries..no logic in your comment
@@suryar7026then just leave it my friend
I am also proud to be an Indian. Our country which was supressed to such a level and now india is selling it's products in other countries... Setting up industries there.. Giving employment to citizens there... Feels amazing rather superb...... I understand your sentiment brother i understand 🙏
I also proud but don't need to show off
I am proud to own a toilet
I'm surprised that the power block guys, or Ian Johnson, hasn't picked one up and started to modify it.
I can’t wait for someone to take a cj2a tub and put it on that frame and drive it on the road
There is a ton of potential in that but marketing it as a UTV because its not street legal is going to kill it due to its weight. Most people transport their UTVs in toy haulers and that thing weighs twice that of a RZR 1000 and is too heavy for just about any toy haulers load capacity.
but if it was street legal it would have to follow all the safety regulations
@@willsmith4411 exactly, thats why this is a tuff sale, gonna need to either have a car hauler trailer and vehicle capable of pulling 3000# for the roxor plus a trailer suitable for it.... or have some private property drive it on. You can throw any standard UTV onto a 6x12 single axle trailer and tow it with a vehicle with a 3500# tow rating.
I foresee these being registered and tagged (street use) in certain states then "exported" to more strict states with a title and then being able to be street legal there. Aftermarket windshields with wipers, doors, tops, Horn, turn signals etc are already around.
@@mosslager it will probably be most used as a ranch hand
Here you can drive it on county roads. Have an off road park nearby and a cabin where there are hundreds of miles of trails. I bought one for those reasons and...well, a diesel jeep basically. Brand new. With a warranty.
I liked
Putting hub locks on this is a silly idea, my husband and i have a 3b and a 3a that still have the full time caps on (and theyll stay that way, period!). Whats the point if you can only off road!? Do you think i want to get out in the mud or snow (it can snow alot in michigan) to lock in the front end when all i have to do is pull the "engagment" lever inside... gz. Spend your money on a trak lock or limited slip, that would be money well spent.
Thanks for watching Mary. Here in WA and ID you can actually make these street legal on roads 35MPH and less. It is very common to see UTVs on the streets around here.
Or you can just leaved them locked all the time If you are only using off road. Much cheaper than the auto lockers. Here in Arizona it's very easy to register UTV's and quads for road use so manual lockers make sense. EDIT as a point of clarification: For those of us who can register these for street use, the ability to unlock the front hubs is beneficial. My money would be spent on locking differential(s) after that. Starting with the rear to see if that's enough. Kind of moot. Even with the speed limiter moved up don't think I'd want to play on Phoenix area freeways with this. For the price this it is a rural/farm vehicle for work or play, serious off road play is better served by a modern side by side. Missed your original point about adding the manual lockers/un-lockers.
You can take them on paved roads and such so it's nice to have locking hubs especially if you have auto lockers that click when you make turns.
Unless somebody comes up with a comprehensive top and side curtain setup, you're going to be pretty much in the mud and snow without leaving the driver's seat.
Are you guys at the Off Road Park that is just out side of Spokane. The Hills look a lot like the place my Girlfriend took me too, when I brought my ATV's and SXS down to Spokane from Alberta.
Checkout Mahindra wanderlust Indian available one , know what to expect from them in future
Trust me you American brothers need to try all the Mahindras and Tatas. Especially XUV-500 of Mahindra and harrier by Tata are a bomb!

Diesel Freak got this thing up to 105 horsepower with a custom clutch
i love that a few years a go they let us drive 4 welers and stuff on the road with a flag and indicators
where i live
Ahem there's some tuning now for it also from calibrated power
Guys we get road going version of the roxor which is called "That"
I don't know why people is complaining about the price, a Polaris ranger costs about the same, ofc a car is more comfortable but it's not that expensive as a UTV
Give that vehicle 2 inch lift , diff lock, off-road tyres it's good every where
Great job. Can’t wait to see more vids!
Thanks for watching!
Listen to the spicer 18 whine!
You should check Indian version of it its called mahindra thar
It looks like indian Mahindra MM550
I checked on Kaisers website. military tires are 32.5 inches top to bottom. I think the military wheels would be my choice
If Mahindra brings new 2020THAR to the US , it will cut half of the jeep sales

We are, stop by anytime.

it has dana 44 axles right?, what's the tire and wheel size?
4:23 oh... hi mark!
you can't get one of these to take on the road because it doesn't pass crash tests, but i can get a tractor?
I'm getting one got rid of my rzr. I already found street.legal ones.
Back in the 70's i almost bought a CJ-5, but i end up buying an FJ-40 Land Cruiser.Yes, i would go for the Mahindra, but it's not street legal, so....
when were you guys in spokane?
Stupid fun! I love it!
It needs a PTO in my opinion
The problem with this mr. Dirt head Dave is no diff lock without it that thing of gets stuck more often then it'll go anywhere I like the vehicle only with a diff lock
Isn't that the Oldsmobile Badge on the front Grill!
Nole P. Very very similar, but alas, the maker of the 442 is still no more.
Look how tiny Dave is 🤣
I think many mahindra tractor showroom in america so they can provide new parts of this jeep. Technically this jeep is derived from indian mahindra thar , but roxor is some diffrent and for your visit property, it is sufficient but you want more then choose bigger tire . And some improvement in chassis. But I think roxor is perfect as it is because it is safe during off-road.
I can imagine jeep actually selling willys in 2-3 years...
Anyone with one of these, crazy prepper question: how electronic is it?
It does have an ecu
da guvmnt gotta potek us frmm usselvs ...Woopie !
Put jeep out of business
i hope mahindra launches mahindra thar 2020 their...
I say put the running gear under a tube frame buggy and register it, ultimate trail buggy
Why don't they make it regulated for roads ? It would look cool 😁
It doesn't have any modern safety features (it doesn't even come with a windshield, that's an option), and it won't pass emissions standards.
Aerodynamic desgin missing
Mahinadr...Thar..
Rather get a willys to have road capability too
