I am in the market for a new ATV. Does anyone have experience with the Mahindra Roxor Jeep?
Quality? Dependably? Service after the sale?
Parts availability?
How would they compare to a Kawasaki Mule or a Polaris side by side?
Any input would be greatly appreciated.

Looked at them years ago. Not real pleased with the changes in the front sheet metal, after the Jeep lawsuit, but that's personal taste.

Don't like the lack of a tilt steering wheel. If it fits you, no problem. If it doesn't, you're stuck dealing with it.

There used to be an auto trans option. It was only available for a short while. They apparently had lots of issues getting it to shift at appropriate times. Don't think that's available, anymore.

The suspension is leaf spring with solid axles. There are some lift kits/aftermarket springs available, but it will NEVER ride like a UTV with independent suspension at all 4 wheels.

The engine and manual trans seem solid, per most reports.

My take?? If you're gonna stay on smooth trails, or really want a "jeep", it's pretty neat. Essentially a brand new Willys Jeep ('40's/50's), with a diesel engine.

If you want something that will go faster, SMOOTHLY, get you a Polaris/Can Am/etc.

Also, if you haven't climbed in/out of a Jeep multiple times, in the past, TRY IT before you buy the Roxor. Sounds picky, but you have to step over the side of Jeep/Roxor (there's that 5"-6" "rim" to deal with). Not a big deal for everyone, but harder for older folks, and a REAL pill if you're constantly getting in/out to check fences/feed cattle/whatever.

Hopefully, someone will come along to give you more DETAILED info, than this, but these are some things to think about.

They were $15,995-$17,995, or so, when they first came out. Like everything, the price has gone up substantially in the last 2-3 years.

If I had a 10,000 acre place with finely graded oilfield roads, it'd be cool as hell. For something to have at a smaller property or for bombing through rough fields of mesquite/cedar, the smaller utv's are going to be more suitable and a softer ride.

Apparently their diesel engines are detuned big time so you can expect some pretty great reliability from them.

Thanks guys. Just the info I was looking for.

They look really cool. But I think fburgtx nailed some real concerns above.

I'd rather have a normal sxs/utv, or for that price I'd look for a used jeep or small pickup

I bought a small Mule a couple years ago and have been pleased. They are not "fast" if that's what you're looking for.

Some pretty sweet videos of people turning them into rock crawlers. I like them.

The resources and expertise on this board never disappoints.
Thank you all.

My god that is beautiful

To add on to this. The diesel is the same engine they have been putting in tractors for years and years.

So it should be as reliable as they come

Which is my biggest attractor to roxors.

Thank you. Added benefit is it's a fun weekend cruiser during the off seasons.

I've seen Roxors that have been made street legal but seems like a pain in the ass to do all that.

I learned how to drive a manual by taking our CJ-5 around the ranch growing up.

Always will have a soft spot for old jeeps.

Spoke with Richard Johnson last night, owner of J5 Tractors (Normangee and a couple other locations). Mahindra dealer, he and two of his sons have been using Roxor's for several years, his personal one has been tweaked, said it will do 70mph (he added "too fast..").
As mentioned, now only available with manual transmission, about the only option is to add a cab. And $20k, +/-, and typically in stock.
As a dealer, maybe a bit prejudiced..., but Richard is solid guy, he will give you the pro's and con's.

Thank you all for your input.

As previously mentioned, you can buy a street legal pre 2007 jeep that will be very reliable for less than a new Roxor.

And have an automatic transmission if you want it.

How wide is it? Does it compare closer to driving a jeep or a mule type vehicle?
