Our Thoughts
The Force Gurkha pick-up, with its robust design and expected powerful engine, is set to make a strong impression in the commercial vehicle segment. Its testing phase indicates that it is nearing production, and it will be interesting to see how it performs once launched.
This also opens up the possibility of the Gurkha coming as a lifestyle pick-up truck with a 4-door cab. It could be a more affordable competitor to the Toyota Hilux and the Isuzu D-Max. It surely will be interesting to see a lifestyle Gurkha come to life.
