Here's a link to Mahindra Australia's extensive website:

I realize the U.S. trucks are going to be different (possibly significantly different) but this site has lots of photos and detailed info on the trucks available there.

Really looking forward to seeing this level of detail on the U.S. site.

Thanks for the link.
Is it just me or is the truck in the "spy photos" of the US version uglier than the Australian version?

[Hughlysses]

I think it's the all-white color arrangement, or maybe it's just the angle, at least on the 4 door. The front bumper looks humongous.

I guess it may be the front bumper. It actually looks pretty good from behind. I think the picture of the black 4 door at the top of this forum looks quite a bit better than the "spied" US version.

Oh hey, I'll take the cab and chasis option. Think they will offer that here? Would be fun to put my own flat bed in.

Thanks Pee Wee!

I noticed in the specs that the fuel milage converted to 23.8 MPG.

Lower than I would have expected, too. That isn't the same engine that will be in the U.S. version, surely the 2.2L will post much better fuel efficiency numbers- or they won't sell many of them here.
