In Honduras, they already sell a ranger with a “Powerstroke 3 liter”. It is basically half of a V8. I can’t understand why we can’t get those here. Toyota also sells a lot of diesels down there.

"I can’t understand why we can’t get those here."

My bet is on the giant turd that sits just to the east of the Potomac river.

Umm...I don’t think it’s up to Ford to replace a Jeep...that would be Fiat’s decision.

We had ‘em...but hardly anybody bought ‘em. I don’t think the attitude will change much unless diesel prices come down quite a bit. Most people wouldn’t pay for 93 octane at the pump if they didn’t have to. Equivalent mileage and premium prices for a diesel? I just don’t see it.

Nice built,good finish on everything including the paint, heavy duty and as nice a tractor as I have seen even though I am a John Deere man. Worth taking a look at because the price is Great.

We’re talking >50% better mileage with the longevity of a diesel (assuming it’s well made). I love my ‘92 Toyota truck, but it’s getting old and for whatever reason, Toyota doesn’t build small trucks any more. I don’t need a big pickup that can go from 0-60 in 5 seconds getting 12mpg. I need a reliable, economical 4X4 work horse. Good luck to Mahindra.

A friend of mine drove a Isuzu diesel pick up for years and his Dad had already put lots of miles on it...

Having been to India I would *never* even *consider* buying an Indian made (or designed) motor vehicle....unless I was to develop some kind of death wish.

Having been there several times, the most memorial image that comes to mind is the belching exhaust of hundreds of trucks climbing the gravel roads up into the Gnats. Air so dirty birds literally fell dead out of the sky.

,,, where I am we get the TATA diesel pickups - not a lot of them on the road, but give it a little time. They use the Peugeot HDi common rail engine as in the Peugeot 406. I’d like to see what the Mahindra’s like... can’t imagine a gun rack on the back of one though!

Reminds me of the old Isuzu pickup trucks.
