Such a cheap Truck! Will this be worth buying?
I don’t think this truck might have any great features. It won’t be able to carry heavy work load. looks small in the pic as well.
Which is this comapny? never heard of it? Is this powerful? There are no specifications as well.
For the 1st time I’m hearing that a car launch has been pre planned! that also from Aug to Feb. This is a big gap i rckon for the automobile.
I don’t agree with the above comments. I think this truck will be worth buying. According to its price, this has to be a strong contender!
Same ehere, so what if the plan is preponed. This can also be the advantage and the engineers efforts to complete the work before time! I will wait for this edition.
Mahindra hawk was a fantastic SUV and if this has to be advanced than hawk, I can imagine what its going to be.
