2009 Mahindra Pik-Up cab/chassis

Last year CarAdvice drove the Mahindra Pik-Up and ever since then every car has been compared to the Indian made Ute. In fact, the Pik-Up set the very bottom of the scale in terms of build quality for any car we’ve ever driven. So here is the, uh… good news, there is a new variant!

2009 Mahindra Pik-Up cab/chassis

Mahindra Automotive Australia, which is a joint venture between Mahindra and Mahindra India and TMI Pacific, has today announced a new new cab/chassis variant for it’s one model range. The company says the cab/chassis was developed by Indian auto giant Mahindra & Mahindra specifically for the local market.

“Australian drivers use their utes in such varied ways that we needed to make the personalisation of the vehicle as easy as possible for our end user. Mahindra Pik-Up customers will be able to purchase the basic cab chassis model at a very competitive price and be able to fit them out with tipper trays, canopies, trade specific trays with tool boxes complete with secure drawers, which ever shape they require their workhorse to be.” Claire Tynan, CEO, MAA said,

One of the reasons we didn’t think the Mahindra was all bad was because of its price. You can find yourself in the Pik-up with an entry level Single Cab 4×2 model offered at just $19,990. That comes with a towing capacity of 2.5 tonne and a one tonne + payload.

In order to make the deal more attractive the company is also offering free alloy wheels on all Dual Cabs with stylised tub-backs.

Additional changes also include a new ‘Java Brown’ colour, longer seatbelts (extended by 350 mm), slotted brake-discs for better braking, and a revised air-conditioning system.

    *****PRIMO*******

    Does it come with a bench seat?

  2. HSV Says:

    Loaf why do you want a bench seat? They serve no purpose. The mighty HSV don’t need one and they are the best utes in the world.

  3. The Salesman Says:

    These guys could be dangerous if they get some market acceptance. You can not argue the price.

  4. Nick Says:

    Yes they could be dangerous to the competition but if they build a good reputation the price structure will more than likely change.

    The govt should introduce an ugly tax - say $50,000.

  6. Biggles Says:

    Ugly tax? Man, this thing is like the Mona Lisa compared to pretty much any Ssangyong. If I were a tradie, I reckon I’d buy this.

    To quote the salesman:”You can not argue the price.” Yes you can. It is way too much. The 4×2 cab chassis is $19999. A Ranger 4×2 2.5T/D cab chassis is $20999.

    Who in their right mind would buy one of these P.O.S. for only a $1000 saving? Perhaps only the most patriotic ex pat Indian!

    Pricing’s sharp salesman?? Have a look at the prices of Navara, Triton BT50 etc…. and they all have proven reliability.
    Biggles, ask a few questions about the other Indian that tried to make it out here, TATA. The Talcoline at least looked traditional but I believe it was responsible for almost as many nervous breakdowns as Lada Samara’s were.
    Nope I don’t believe these should be here.

    Dlr1, Frontman
    They are all turbo diesels. I can not think of another 4×4 diesel dual cab for $29,990.00. Who else will sell you a new 4×2 single cab diesel for $19,990.00. I think they represent good value on paper. Of course i have not driven one yet.
    TATA are huge over seas, did they not just buy Jaguar and Landrover?

    Most of this year Ranger has been between $20,990 & $22,990 Drive away with tray, Air, Windows & locks for abn holders. Nissan is very similar. Both 2.5 CRDti. Mazda BT50 isn’t that much more with toolboxes ladder rack and protector. I know Triton is also being thrown at the market. Even if these were drive away with tray and such at $19,990 I feel certain even you would spring for the extra 3K and get a known brand. Same goes with the Dual cab

    Yep,
    i cant see too many people diving for this landcruiser look a like rip off.

    Frontman,
    these prices wont include tray.
    the cab chassis models listed are 2K cheaper then the styleside tubs.

    expect to add another 2K for the alloy tray bringing their cheapest model to 21,990. and thats before you ask if A/C and others are included. plus on roads dont forget, another 3K??

    so 21K including everything on the ranger??
    thats where i would go if shopping in the typical “Jap ute” class

  12. Reckless1 Says:

    Andrew, I agree with you except for “Landcruiser look-alike ripoff” ?????? WTF?????

    I’m scratching my head trying to picture a Dual Cab Landcruiser that looks anything like this POS, but not coming up trumps.

    I say one of these things - I think it is on a car lot at Cranbourne - and in the flesh it looks, compared to the pictures on the web, well, even more ridiculous.

    I’d never buy one of these.

    JEYKL & HYDE
    You are correct. I went to the Nissan site to confirm it. BUT…..you have to be an ABN holder. So i will stand by my original comment. I think you will still negotiate a better deal on the car you really want though. :)
