Although little word has been coming out of India or Alpharetta, Georgia lately, the Mahindra TR20 and TR40 pickups still do appear to be headed to America in 2010. The consistent tone among principals on either side of the globe is that 2010 is THE year for Mahindra’s mid-size diesel pickups.
MP has caught bits of information from various sources both reputable (Mahindra Truck Forum, PickupTrucks.com) and not so reputable (WU, you are indeed the National Enquirer of automotive blogs). When in 2010? Well, that’s anyone’s guess, but it certainly does seem that 2010 is the year. Even MP’s ranting diatribe on the merits of waiting to launch in 2011 don’t appear to be holding Mahindra back this year.
“We are entering the US this year which is the world's largest market for sport-utility vehicles pickups. It is going to change M&M's international business volumes and take the brand to a different level in the SUV and pickup space.” Pravin Shah, Chief Executive, International Operations, Mahindra & Mahindra

I’m a self-annointed Mahindra enthusiast and I’ve been waiting for this truck since day 1. Like many of you I’ve had to endure each delay but I’m hoping 2010 is the year. I continue to believe the Mahindra pickups have unique characteristics, from its rugged looks and diesel engine, and with the fuel economy benefit I am expecting, I will continue to wait patiently.
