    On Road: remember it is a big truck...5.3 m long (and if you have arb bumper add another 8-10inches) and a 2 ton vehicle..Note: this is an overlander vehicle and not an offroader To long for offroading...Thar or Gurkha is better It is extremely drivable...clutch is soft and smooth, steering is not heavy..brakes are good..though panic braking will make the 3 channel abs sweak a lot and scare both you and the people outside...(This is normal abs behavior) very quite for its size and power All around visibility is like a truck..there are blind spots..the A pillar is sure blind spot...front is okay..rear is clear on mirrors but side os a bit bad..you may like to install a 2 in blind spot mirrorDear is above average cars around..only commercial tucks are your competition Power: enough and more..no shortage of power however the gear ratios are biased towards the first gear..very high torque..but 2nd and 3rd are starved...if there was some here than in1st it would have been excellent in city traffic so in city one needs to be in lower gears..Warning Don't try to race an Innova or Fortuner..they have more power and torque...but if you are a better driver than a Then okay..Xuv at start will beat..but short distance from the start you will win..Going uphill on 1st..may lead to stalling of you don't know how to drive..remap solves some problems Ride: bumpy but not much..after all it is leaf spring in rear..a suspension change to ironman or oldman emu is a must Milage:heavy Bangalore kind city traffic 8.5 to9 highways anywhere from 12.5 to 31 Yes 31...if driven properly folks have averaged upto 31..though I will not recommend as you have bought truck and not a moped Minimal maintenance needs no need for oil catchOffroading...too long for offroading...too heavy...torque and power not sufficient..remap must..more skill required..But 8 out 10 situations it will sail through..16in RIM with 245 profile would be better..higher has impact on gear ratio and will make it bad..but a 245 looks very small... 275 on 16 looks ideal..

    Driving slow

    Give a very strong road presence and stance. Fun to drive. Customization list is long and one should not go in for all mods together rather take your time, investigate,learn, talk and then decide. (One can nor resist building ones mod list ranging from upside tyre, engine remap, bumpers, tonneau cover, lights, bar lights, sports roll bars, interior seats, floor mats, music system, free flow filters, exhaust, lift, suspension upgrade, canopy, the list just keeps building It is a big truck...so one needs to modify the driving style and parking is a problem...One need not be able to park where one wants to go..so searching parking near where you want to go and then walk is a norm. Can take 5large bodied passengers with ease., highway drive is fantastic not wobbles or lateral sways at any speeds. Can speed up but it is always good to be in control of speed..Indian highways are not for very high speefs ( above 120 as too many people think driving in wrong sides, crossing toads as if in a park, driving slow anywhere in anything is a birth right or a democracy in India provides this a in the constitution - 😉pun intended) Overall..once you ride this...you can not go down to a saloon or a Bach back or a smaller vehicle.Remember this may be your last diesel as the next purchase may not even have a diesel option in the market...
