Hi. Very true u said. I checked with the only dealer in Mumbai who I am in touch. He said they have no official info from the company but yes, a new engine and 18 inch wheels will be there. Official details will be revealed on 30th April and new roll outs post 15th May.
Yesterday i visited khivraj motors (yeshwanthpur) bangalore....i was eeally impressed by the build quality of gurkha by force motors, seating comfort, engine bay, that merc diesel engine 😊❤...its really an awesome truck...fingers crossed, hoping to buy one soon🎉
I wish they could too. But the market dictates makers. The actual demand for a purely offroad based setup like the Xtreme (Solid Front Axles and factory body lift etc) is very miniscule for them to take the effort to homologate it for BS6. The 'less extreme' explorer with good offroad kit which would satisfy wider audience was instead made into BS6. The engine in Explorer 2.6 was also staple across the board including the vans so one time effort. The 2.2 was unique to the Xtreme and the Force One before it.
I’m going to buy a Gurkha 5-door. Do you think I should wait for the 2025? Just 4 months left. I’m hoping they might iron out some minor issues with the current model. PS: Force ought to start giving you commission for Gurkha sales!
I’m betting that they will quietly swap the brake pads or bite tuning in the brakes in the next batch refresh to fix the sponge brake . If you can you should wait. They did a similar refresh in bs6.0 and I’ve put a video on it. P.S: I don’t want commission, only timely spares parts availability.
Excellent content. I am sure you must be either a mechanical or automobile engineer equipped with amazing graphical and presentation skills. The kind of research and effort gone into this content is truly commendable. As I mentioned in one of my comments earlier, I accidentally happened to see one of your videos and ended up watching all of the videos in this channel. Watching your videos again and again multiple times has become an addiction to me and this is one of the healthiest addictions to have. Force motors should honor you for your love and passion towards their product and I strongly feel they must consult you for product management and enhancements to Gurkha. This is the 7th time, I watched this video before going to sleep and I also aspire to own a Gurkha someday for its sheer road presence and off-roading capabilities. Having seen your videos, luxurious fancy cars with very high speed limits, tech-savvy interiors and exteriors no longer excite me. Unfortunately I am yet to learn driving as I am scared of driving in Bangalore traffic even though I am in my late 30s. Once again thanks a ton for such awesome content. Looking forward to more videos from you. Wish you great success for all your future endeavors.

@@ASWINALORA you’re right brother.

I'm a hard-core research scholar. I know how difficult to reasearch on any topic if we wanna get deeper knowledge. In this video I'm assured and appreciate your research work on Gurkha and Thar. I was supposed to purchase Thar but after seeing Gurkha it was like LOVE at FIRST SIGHT. Later I stopped thinking about any cars on road apart from Gurkha infact we see rarely in Bangalore. Still doing lot of research don't know when I'm gonna invest huge amount it. I own ROYAL Enfield Interceptor 650. Seriously I know the value of engine and engineering of any machine. I don't wanna ride any other bikes after using it and many said it's not worth investing 3L+ on bike but I love this machine. Similar way goes with GURKHA. Less mechanical work rugged and tough look makes it more attractive which I love it and more over I know that I'm not riding my car or Jeep on race track so i limit and maintain my speed. Thank you once again and waiting to hold the steering of it.
Thanks for the detailed comment. I myself sailed the Research Scholar boat few years ago during my doctorate days and I can understand your passion for technical content. Wishing you the best and please share the videos with other research scholars.
loved this video of yours. Pls make a video for new 5door Gurkha. I has a lot of changes, and how does it lie on the charts compared to thar and old bs6 gurkha.
Very well explained, being a Gurkha owner I was not aware of all the mechanical stuff. Really helped me understand my own machine better. Thanks a lot for putting up this video.
Brilliant video!!! My 2 cents; 1. You have not considered the weight difference between the two anywhere. The 400kgs extra kerb weight on the Gurkha can never be offset by making any mod. 2. Comparing what a Gurkha can become with what Thar is as it comes from the manufacturer is a bit skewed perspective in my opinion. Slightly modified Thar will throw the Gurkha out of comparison at once. 3. Except for the cabin space I dont see Gurkha scoring any points over the Thar- blank slate to blank slate or from slightly modded to fullfledged, nowhere close. 4. Gurkha has the presence no other rig has in India right now. That is it. All of us buy the Gurkha just for that and ofcos as I said for the cabin space. We are Gurkha fan boys pretty safe to say 😂
Thank you for your time! Really! Now with new Gurkha, all the calculations would change, right? As i understand, new Gurkha's tuned engine is to produce 138 BHP, so would it be like Thar (faster), on higher gears? Also how would the R18 would make a difference (5 of them) - heavier vehicle - on overall performance? Also the ground clearance is increased, will that positively affect overall dynamics, I know it solves the most talked about big issue of hitting bigger rocks with previous generation Gurkha! Eagerly awaiting your response!
Yes, correct. Ratings would change Because of 1. New engine tune 2.New gear box (Xtreme gearbox as I have suggested in this video has been accepted by Force for the new Gurkha) So it will give good low end grunt and good cruise in high gears. The turbo still is the weak link imho and juices out as much as it can but the weight needs to be respected still. Bigger tires will also change gearing ratio and torque at wheel 🛞 as explained in the video. Need to just replace the values from the new owners manual
The present configuration has limitations of remap. The components can only absorb so much torque as per rating, 1. Turbo is tiny presently - very small compared to older Gurkha - so starved of kick . 2. G28 has torque limitation. With power up torque will also boost which G28 cannot absorb 3. The ECU of this gurkha cannot be read right now. Presently no protocols exist for proper remap of this version ECU. (Delphi)So once those are l released it would be better to attempt proper re maps. The present Diesel Tronic option is only a single channel fuel regulator and Wolf has benched the ECU. Personally wouldn’t go for either . Will wait for protocols to be available for proper remap.
Really very deep sense of off road capable two beasts.Every off road enthusiast to learn these facts through this very informative video.excellent work.
Kudos to your indepth understanding and simple and lucid explnation of complicated physics and dynamics of the vehicle. This is pure passion. Thank Youank You
The real comparison of Thar is not against Gurkha but its against the Jimny now as their numbers seem to have overtaken Gurkha numbers (off the road) in a hurry!!!
You, sir, are a legend! It's one thing to be so involved with your vehicle, and another to be so intricately detailed with your content. From your TBHP threads, to this channel...gorgeous stuff. So much to learn, and process. To me, the Gurkha's aspirational value has increased manifold thanks to your creed of "gentleman offroaders". Thanks for existing!
@@tripaccino something struck me and I can't wrap my mind around it. Please, accept my apologies in advance, because this would likely sound dumb... The Gurkha is ~390 kgs heavier (figures from Autocar India) than the Thar and that leads to the advantage in a hypothetical tug of war scenario as you explain. But how does the torque:weight not influence the outcome, provided all other factors remain same? I mean both cars need to first be able to move itself from standstill before overcoming the opposing force, and the Gurkha is at a disadvantage there (paradoxically because of it's greater weight), no? Not sure if I'm making any sense...
@@MidlifeEscapades Thanks for the question. I expected this clarification and hoped to clear it in comments because it would clutter if I had explained in video and make it too boring. Outline: None of the factor I mentioned , can work independently so for ease of understanding I had simply de linked them in order of priority. And please do note the disclaimer I have deliberately put in :- The engine power torque and how it is put down on ground is important. Case 1: If the weight difference is large. 1. Take the heavy rock example. Why does the rock have to move itself? With a small engine if it even manages to move itself a bit, the Thar is going to find it further more difficult as opposite force is now weight, friction and small engine thrust of the rock. 400 kgs is kerb weight difference. It is 20% of the vehicle weight! not small difference. Also it Doesn't include accessories and mods which will weigh up the vehicle heavily. Let's assume next case and simplify. 2. If the weight difference is comparable, then the traction on wheels will play a part and weight distribution will come into play. Gurkha will be rear heavy, and also aid its traction. 3.If you're looking for physics - then opposing force is friction * Opponent weight. The inertial force is Self Mass x acceleration.This acceleration would depend on the engine definitely. But if your self mass is less then your product is less and hence force is less. So you’re making lesser force to propel against opponent in that sense. For ease of understanding we are splitting these two physics seperately for ease of understanding - in nature all are happenign parralllely.! Hope i have not confused you more. Simply one line: If two gurkha's one fitted with mHawk and one fitted with FM2.6CR, then engine and power delivery would come into play. And the mHawk would win! Until then, weight on the driven wheels rules :D
@@tripaccino Thank you immensely for taking the time and effort to reply. My mind's at rest now, I do understand it so much better! You're the physics teacher, so many of us never had 🙂
Thanks and please do feel free to ask anything . I’m glad you asked this . I was hoping someone would . Because I wanted to explain this particular aspect. It’s like looking at the same scene through two windows - One is Newton’s second law and other is third law. Both cannot be used together to understand same scene. Scene is happening but you can look through only one window 🪟at a time: Fun fact: gurkha weight distribution is Front 1270 kg Rear 1240 kg
Thinking about it, Gurkha xtreme was the bomb. Rigid axle suspension, stock lifted. G32s are much smoother. Man, FM should really get their stuff together. They literally had the formula which would work wonders. They deadass had to kill their golden duck. RIP. GREAT VIDEO BTW. HOLY :o
Yea I miss the Xtreme too. FM had to discontinue because of very less demand for a hard core solid axle based off-road specific truck. I wish they had brought it back. 😊would have picked it up without a blink. Updating the 2.2 140would have been expensive additionally as the 2.6 is staple across the board, cost which they would have avoided. Let’s see the new tune in Bs6.2
Sir The Detailing is Uncomparable with the best in-class explanations. I don't think anything beyond this information could be told about these Vehicles. Whole hearted Thanks to tripaccino . If i am not wrong , can some more info about the Suspensions of these vehicles to suit different needs (Off-Road/On-Road usages) in the Real world . Addition of M-JIMNY will be a compliment .
Thanks for the kind words. Im actually working on a full blown suspension upgrade for the Gurkha. So when I do the debrief on that , Ill contrast how it compares to stock Thar and modified Thar suspension and Jimny.
Not a bit of biasness I see in the whole comparison video👏🏻, Yet I'll go for Force Gurkha. You deserve a lot more for bringing us all those knowledge at our doorstep,👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 luv & support from Arunachal Pradesh, Northeast India.🤝
@trippachino, i like gurkha, but will NOT be using it for offroading. Mostly city driving and highways. It it a good purchase in stock setting with those use cases?
As usual excellent details and very very insightful thoughts on both the Thar and Gurkha without any bias. I am a Thar fan but bought Gurkha instead knowing the after sales and aftermarket limitations. But for me Gurkha ticks the box and I'm into DIY and like to purpose build the vehicle for my use case in which Gurkha has lots of potential. Thanks for getting into very deep mechanical details of both vehicles in comparison.👌👌👌👍👍👍🔥🔥🔥 Vera level explanations sago......keep going
Hi Tripaccino i really want to buy and own The gurkha!! but i saw DCVs video he made a review on ownership on gurkha i was totally the opposite review id really like to knw from you as well Pls help me ! id like to use it as daily and not so extreme exploring ! max would be village roads and open lan or lake side tenting and mountain roads! pls help me!
The gurkha is very good if you’re hands on and expect no creature comforts. It’s an overkill for mild roading and just daily driving. Would advise to ReConsider your priorities based on your needs 👌all the best
dear tripaccino, the day channels like you start showing million views instead of those 'too ridiculously kitschy' all -talk -no substance -ones, i think we'll be well set on a path to become a much better nation. kudos !
One of the landmark video once again. With deep knowledge which educate us about driving the vehicle and how vehicle work. I never knew how gear box and transfer case work. Thank you brother for in-depth video.
Thanks again! I was waiting for your comment Tarun. How come you were missing in my first batch of viewers I was wondering 💭 hope all is well with the family and health now 🙏
i love the scientific approach of comparison and appreciate you putting it forward. My Red Gurkha 2022 has been a can of worms and your videos motivate me to NOT get rid of it.
@@brunoterlingen2203 that part I got. Which truck are you talking about. Thar has an automatic box already as option. You suggest Gurkha to also have a TC?
Being a fan of your videos i do have some questions regarding the build quality and reliability of Gurkha cause I have seen a youtubers video of him complaining about the bad quality rubber plastics used in this car is it true? And should one even consider a Gurkha? And for the newbies Gurkha has the worst mileage
Thanks for your viewership. Please take RUclipsrs reviews and opinion of their vehicle with a pinch of salt. It’s very subjective and anecdotal. Not correct to generalise the whole product line based on one ☝️ review. And be advised that ‘views’ and ‘subs’ skyrocket for any negative connotation or bash video whereas truths fetch you fewer eyeballs. So approach motivation of tubers (including myself ) from that perspective. listen to my narration clearly in this video and I do repeatedly state that there are definite QC issues and the owner cannot expect fill it shut it forget it experience. It demands a lot of involvement. There are teething issues and components randomly busting which the company is fixing and rectifying in subsequent batches but it’s not a matured evolved product as I brought out. Get ready to get your hands dirty . Service Center sin your city if it’s good it’s great , if it’s not it’s a miss. There is no consistency in quality of work and knowledge in service Center a across country, all of them are largely positive attitude and want to help though. Plastic quality is bad (compared to what? You may want to ask him ) Fact is that frankly The interior trim and plastics are at par with Trax because it’s same dash and parts - it’s commercial , industrial and nothing fancy. It’s easy to live with and wipe and fix. It will last. It’s not the soft touch dashboards that people are looking for because this is not that kind of a car. These are all superficial. There are better cars who would excel in this department. It’s got a lot of jugaad fixes and rough edges which do bother . But if you want a robust platform to build on. This Chassis is CNC and super stiff. Three part CNC - front axle , transfer case and rear axle bearing part chassis. Bullet proof welded with overlap . Probably strongest among Passenger cars I’ve seen. The insulation is top notch .The build quality of the chassis is extremely good and a blank canvas for us to build on. Mileage - 2.5 ton 2.6 litre diesel running a low end torquey 5 speed with non existent top end. I would be surprised if it returned good mileage. Should you ? - You should consider a gurkha only if you know what you’re getting into and have the Will to work with its few shortcomings . If you can do that you can build out a product slowly over the years that can outgun much more expensive cars: it’s a blank canvas . Can you paint?
@@tripaccino is shut it and forget too much to ask for? As a modern product atleast it should be a hassle free experience right? phase 2 gurkhas are yet to come so let's wait and see the improvements and also it's going to more expensive than the phase 1 models.
Please don’t get me wrong. I’m not defending the gurkha. I am merely stating that it’s not shut it forget it. Whether it’s worth the effort is the individuals choice . There are options out there for all of us. We need to choose our battles accordingly. Don’t get me started on phase 2 Gurkhas 😹my advise would be to wait for teething issues with the new inclusions iron out before picking one hot out of the even.
@@tripaccino brother English is more better. For me. I don't know how many people will see if it is in Tamil. But I would say better do it in both Tamil and English.
Hi!!! I have a question for you. There is a product in the market called Rogerab Suspension Buffer. The company claims that it makes the ride quality more cushy and lessens the body roll. I own a 2021 Mahindra Thar and have been considering to get it installed. Can you please make a video explaining the pros and cons of the same and whether the product is viable or not? Also will it by any means hamper the suspension and it's overall performance in the long run as most of my driving is either on long stretches of the highway, sometimes on the hills or a fair bit of off-road here and there. Thanks ✌️
Ah! Rogerab. Im aware of these and have run them in their early days on a sedan. These are also band aid patch work temporary solution. They add a polyurethane or foam buffer and increase ride height by extending spring length. I would suggest please watch my strut top hat spacer review video to understand pros and cons of such temporary mods to suspension. This plays with the coil just like top hats play with struts. I have spoken about spring buffeers as well in that IIRC. If you want a suspension upgrade I would suggest a full swap with Dr Nano or some kit like that which will be the full term soulution. ruclips.net/video/wDYovWfnM1M/видео.html
@tripaccino Got your point. Let me watch that video and get back, if any questions at all. Thank you so much for finding time to reply to my query. Cheers 🍻
@tripaccino I just finished the video you suggested. I had infact seen the video earlier but couldn't correlate then which I was able to do this time. So no Rogerabs for now. I will consider getting the struts changed in future without increasing the height of course. I'm never keen on increasing the height of the SUV or changing the tyre profile drastically because it just damages the essentials in the underside of the vehicle and reduces the off-road performance in some cases. Thanks a ton!!!
Thanks for watching that. It was one of my most knowledge sharing videos , but surprisingly didn’t find as many takers as I expected. 😈Maybe a bit long and draggy for today’s short attention span. 🤔
Test drive. Thar. Gurkha. Jimny. Get the Gurkha if youre convinced after that. Tripaccino will always be there to help you upgrade. Check out my Mods video for an idea of what all can be done! Cheers
Very well explained, thanks for your effort. Nobody, not even the stupid company 'Force Motors' puts in this much effort to present GURKHA so well. Thanks again and keep it up.

What about displacement? Those pull power on the Gurkha is reall. I have seen this engine not sweating at all even in full load, that to 20 years ago in trax avtar. Though this engine never crossed 80kmph, that truck used to have no slow down or behave slower on hill climbs. Either Force is lowering the numbers on paper, cause the 2600 cc displacement for sure can pull a lot than thar
Displacement is the volume of engine. Pull power is torque. We have shown how gurkha hits peak torque earlier. We have explained advantage of both in gurkha combined with tractor like gear ratios which all manifest as the great low end puller it is. Your observations are correct as we have noted in this narration - ‘the gurkha will slowly climb to 100 and stay there all day like a freight train thanks to its large displacement 2.6’
One question why Gurkha has low sales...is Marketing ? Is it features ? Is it brand value ? Is it love angle ? Why it is not getting sales ? As desired ???????
No sales as desired because there is no desire. The company is content with selling the numbers it does. There’s no big push for volume. It’s a margin game for Force.
its a combination of the above. My family were Force Motors (then Tempo) dealers for over 20+ years. and the company had very good technically sound products like the Tempo Trax, Traveler, Matador. But jus didnt support dealers in marketing them, no one knew who the manufacturer was. The only time they tried marketing was when they rebranded as Force and launched the Force One which as an old SUV they rebadged for india. If memory serves me right they used Amitabh for that campaign but it bombed due to low brand awareness, mediocre product and no follow up campaigns. Even now if you see their digital platforms they use tacky stock photos and mock up the vehicles on them or use only content shot by users. Which is of poor quality versus the slick ads a Mahindra makes.
@@tripaccino why Force Motors is not diving in hard in the market as the product they have " A capable vehicle like GURKHA" ?.....because there's no other brand's vehicle that soothes the naked eye as Gurkha does....So the question is the Force motors satisfied 🤔🤔
@@gauravthakur9634 force motors is India’s largest van maker: its profits don’t come from the niche Gurkha : the main source of revenue is their engine and drivetrain axle production for Daimler Benz and BMW which is a thriving vertical. Gurkha is the margin product for them. So they don’t go for cut throat pricing or offers or tv ads or banner ads z What sells , sells. And who buys buys. They are in a state of rare contentment with regard to their only passenger car offering. Trere is huge potential to blow up the gurkha into a solid international offering but Force is not ready for that kind of commitment to the Gurkha. Watch my Indian Grenadier video for the sentiment. 🤔

I don't wanna ride any other bikes after using it and many said it's not worth investing 3L+ on bike but I love this machine. Similar way goes with GURKHA. Less mechanical work rugged and tough look makes it more attractive which I love it and more over I know that I'm not riding my car or Jeep on race track so i limit and maintain my speed. Thank you once again and waiting to hold the steering of it.
Thanks for the detailed comment. I myself sailed the Research Scholar boat few years ago during my doctorate days and I can understand your passion for technical content. Wishing you the best and please share the videos with other research scholars.
Nice explanation. What is your opinion about Gurkha vs Scoripio N?
Wait for the Scorpio n review
Excellent and very informative, learned a lot of new things I wasn't aware of.
Good stuff, keep it up👍
Thanks 🙏
loved this video of yours. Pls make a video for new 5door Gurkha. I has a lot of changes, and how does it lie on the charts compared to thar and old bs6 gurkha.
Comin right up!
Yess pls
Please make a video on remapping ecu.. Your content is really educational.. 👍Perfect point to point 👏
As soon as possible
Very well explained, being a Gurkha owner I was not aware of all the mechanical stuff. Really helped me understand my own machine better. Thanks a lot for putting up this video.
Glad it helped. Do watch my other Gurkha specials !
@@tripaccino have seen all the videos, have been watching them before my Gurkha came in Jan. I too am a member of the pan India BS6 Gurkha group :)
Ah! Thanks then 👍🙏😺
Kudos for all the effort. The video was short despite being almost 26 minutes long, was so engrossed into the interesting video.
I was afraid length might get dragging, but couldn’t convey in depth if I chop down to shorten. So glad you didn’t find it drag !
Brilliant video!!! My 2 cents;
1. You have not considered the weight difference between the two anywhere. The 400kgs extra kerb weight on the Gurkha can never be offset by making any mod.
2. Comparing what a Gurkha can become with what Thar is as it comes from the manufacturer is a bit skewed perspective in my opinion. Slightly modified Thar will throw the Gurkha out of comparison at once.
3. Except for the cabin space I dont see Gurkha scoring any points over the Thar- blank slate to blank slate or from slightly modded to fullfledged, nowhere close.
4. Gurkha has the presence no other rig has in India right now. That is it. All of us buy the Gurkha just for that and ofcos as I said for the cabin space. We are Gurkha fan boys pretty safe to say 😂
Thank you for your time! Really!
Now with new Gurkha, all the calculations would change, right? As i understand, new Gurkha's tuned engine is to produce 138 BHP, so would it be like Thar (faster), on higher gears? Also how would the R18 would make a difference (5 of them) - heavier vehicle - on overall performance? Also the ground clearance is increased, will that positively affect overall dynamics, I know it solves the most talked about big issue of hitting bigger rocks with previous generation Gurkha!
Eagerly awaiting your response!
Yes, correct. Ratings would change
Because of 1. New engine tune
2.New gear box (Xtreme gearbox as I have suggested in this video has been accepted by Force for the new Gurkha)
So it will give good low end grunt and good cruise in high gears. The turbo still is the weak link imho and juices out as much as it can but the weight needs to be respected still. Bigger tires will also change gearing ratio and torque at wheel 🛞 as explained in the video. Need to just replace the values from the new owners manual
What if we can remap gurkha ecu make it 130 bhp? Or install diesel tronic ecu.. For 115 bhp? It would perform better..
The present configuration has limitations of remap. The components can only absorb so much torque as per rating,
1. Turbo is tiny presently - very small compared to older Gurkha - so starved of kick .
2. G28 has torque limitation. With power up torque will also boost which G28 cannot absorb
3. The ECU of this gurkha cannot be read right now. Presently no protocols exist for proper remap of this version ECU. (Delphi)So once those are l released it would be better to attempt proper re maps. The present Diesel Tronic option is only a single channel fuel regulator and Wolf has benched the ECU. Personally wouldn’t go for either . Will wait for protocols to be available for proper remap.
Hi bro romba naal achi unga videos ethuvume nee innum upload pannalaiya nangalam waiting for ur videos❤😊
Sure will put up something soon 🔜
Really very deep sense of off road capable two beasts.Every off road enthusiast to learn these facts through this very informative video.excellent work.
Thanks. Please share in your WhatsApp groups to benefit other 4!wd folks
Kudos to your indepth understanding and simple and lucid explnation of complicated physics and dynamics of the vehicle. This is pure passion. Thank Youank You
Much appreciated!
The real comparison of Thar is not against Gurkha but its against the Jimny now as their numbers seem to have overtaken Gurkha numbers (off the road) in a hurry!!!
You, sir, are a legend! It's one thing to be so involved with your vehicle, and another to be so intricately detailed with your content. From your TBHP threads, to this channel...gorgeous stuff. So much to learn, and process. To me, the Gurkha's aspirational value has increased manifold thanks to your creed of "gentleman offroaders". Thanks for existing!
Thanks for following me on both plat forms .Keeps-me charged to produce more quality content
@@tripaccino something struck me and I can't wrap my mind around it. Please, accept my apologies in advance, because this would likely sound dumb...
The Gurkha is ~390 kgs heavier (figures from Autocar India) than the Thar and that leads to the advantage in a hypothetical tug of war scenario as you explain. But how does the torque:weight not influence the outcome, provided all other factors remain same? I mean both cars need to first be able to move itself from standstill before overcoming the opposing force, and the Gurkha is at a disadvantage there (paradoxically because of it's greater weight), no? Not sure if I'm making any sense...
@@MidlifeEscapades Thanks for the question. I expected this clarification and hoped to clear it in comments because it would clutter if I had explained in video and make it too boring.
Outline: None of the factor I mentioned , can work independently so for ease of understanding I had simply de linked them in order of priority. And please do note the disclaimer I have deliberately put in :- The engine power torque and how it is put down on ground is important.
Case 1: If the weight difference is large.
1. Take the heavy rock example. Why does the rock have to move itself? With a small engine if it even manages to move itself a bit, the Thar is going to find it further more difficult as opposite force is now weight, friction and small engine thrust of the rock.
400 kgs is kerb weight difference. It is 20% of the vehicle weight! not small difference.
Also it Doesn't include accessories and mods which will weigh up the vehicle heavily. Let's assume next case and simplify.
2. If the weight difference is comparable, then the traction on wheels will play a part and weight distribution will come into play. Gurkha will be rear heavy, and also aid its traction.
3.If you're looking for physics - then opposing force is friction * Opponent weight. The inertial force is Self Mass x acceleration.This acceleration would depend on the engine definitely. But if your self mass is less then your product is less and hence force is less. So you’re making lesser force to propel against opponent in that sense.
For ease of understanding we are splitting these two physics seperately for ease of understanding - in nature all are happenign parralllely.!
Hope i have not confused you more. Simply one line:
If two gurkha's one fitted with mHawk and one fitted with FM2.6CR, then engine and power delivery would come into play. And the mHawk would win! Until then, weight on the driven wheels rules :D
@@tripaccino Thank you immensely for taking the time and effort to reply. My mind's at rest now, I do understand it so much better! You're the physics teacher, so many of us never had 🙂
Thanks and please do feel free to ask anything . I’m glad you asked this . I was hoping someone would . Because I wanted to explain this particular aspect.
It’s like looking at the same scene through two windows - One is Newton’s second law and other is third law. Both cannot be used together to understand same scene. Scene is happening but you can look through only one window 🪟at a time:
Fun fact: gurkha weight distribution is
Front 1270 kg
Rear 1240 kg
Loved the intricacy of it. The last bit had me in splits. Kudos.
Tug of war !!! Baap Kaun hai ?
Brilliant , I can see a lot of work being put into your videos . Are you an engineer by profession ?
Yes, I am.

Hello sir, any news on gurkha 5 door launch ..
And thank you for your ultimate videos content and efforts..
5 door might come by festive season 23 only
Thinking about it, Gurkha xtreme was the bomb. Rigid axle suspension, stock lifted. G32s are much smoother. Man, FM should really get their stuff together. They literally had the formula which would work wonders. They deadass had to kill their golden duck. RIP.
GREAT VIDEO BTW. HOLY :o
Yea I miss the Xtreme too. FM had to discontinue because of very less demand for a hard core solid axle based off-road specific truck. I wish they had brought it back. 😊would have picked it up without a blink.
Updating the 2.2 140would have been expensive additionally as the 2.6 is staple across the board, cost which they would have avoided. Let’s see the new tune in Bs6.2
Sir The Detailing is Uncomparable with the best in-class explanations. I don't think anything beyond this information could be told about these Vehicles. Whole hearted Thanks to tripaccino . If i am not wrong , can some more info about the Suspensions of these vehicles to suit different needs (Off-Road/On-Road usages) in the Real world . Addition of M-JIMNY will be a compliment .
Thanks for the kind words. Im actually working on a full blown suspension upgrade for the Gurkha. So when I do the debrief on that , Ill contrast how it compares to stock Thar and modified Thar suspension and Jimny.
The most practical and best comparison. I've been looking for this kind of a comparison.
Thanks do share it with all your friends !
Not a bit of biasness I see in the whole comparison video👏🏻, Yet I'll go for Force Gurkha.
You deserve a lot more for bringing us all those knowledge at our doorstep,👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 luv & support from Arunachal Pradesh, Northeast India.🤝
Thanks a lot for these encouraging comments!
How would you recommend the Gurkha 2024....
I was planning to make a whole video on that ! :)
@@tripaccino in anticipation
@trippachino, i like gurkha, but will NOT be using it for offroading. Mostly city driving and highways.
It it a good purchase in stock setting with those use cases?
As an honest advise, There are better cars for that purpose
Nicely explained ….🎉
Thank you 🙂
A knowledgeable youtube content. Thanks for sharing the knowledge with everyone :)
My pleasure! Spread the word about the channel please
As usual excellent details and very very insightful thoughts on both the Thar and Gurkha without any bias. I am a Thar fan but bought Gurkha instead knowing the after sales and aftermarket limitations. But for me Gurkha ticks the box and I'm into DIY and like to purpose build the vehicle for my use case in which Gurkha has lots of potential. Thanks for getting into very deep mechanical details of both vehicles in comparison.👌👌👌👍👍👍🔥🔥🔥 Vera level explanations sago......keep going
Thanks for watching!
❤❤ nice explanation bro
Hi Tripaccino i really want to buy and own The gurkha!! but i saw DCVs video he made a review on ownership on gurkha i was totally the opposite review id really like to knw from you as well Pls help me ! id like to use it as daily and not so extreme exploring ! max would be village roads and open lan or lake side tenting and mountain roads! pls help me!
The gurkha is very good if you’re hands on and expect no creature comforts. It’s an overkill for mild roading and just daily driving. Would advise to ReConsider your priorities based on your needs 👌all the best
@@tripaccino Thank You for your time and helping me with my doubt!! Will really reconsider and give it a thhought!!
Comment below and let me know which is your pick and why!
Good knowledge ❤
So nice of you
Beautifully explained... You're the God hands down 🙌
Thanks . You’re far too kind
I like the technical analysis you do Can you make a similar video on the new 5 door Gurkha ? The new is more BHP output.
It’s already ✅ done: please check out our latest and most popular video on the Gurkha 24 and comment again ✌️
Did you check it out
Thanks a ton & appreciate your efforts, knowledge to make such videos. Loved it.❤
So nice of you

Excellent video. You are a man of knowledge.
Thanks share with friends !
@@tripaccino Already did ;)
One of the landmark video once again. With deep knowledge which educate us about driving the vehicle and how vehicle work. I never knew how gear box and transfer case work.
Thank you brother for in-depth video.
Thanks again! I was waiting for your comment Tarun. How come you were missing in my first batch of viewers I was wondering 💭 hope all is well with the family and health now 🙏
i love the scientific approach of comparison and appreciate you putting it forward. My Red Gurkha 2022 has been a can of worms and your videos motivate me to NOT get rid of it.
Hang in there. Keep checking for symptoms. Let the vehicle tell you what’s wrong . Once you cross the hump, the platform is a delight to build upon
Very good Sir.
Amazing once again! Very well explained 👍🏻✅
Thank you! Cheers!
Why not use a standard automatic gearbox with a torque converter? This aspect has been known for years by true off-roaders.
Sorry brother. could you please explain. Didn’t get you. Auto box where ?
@@tripaccino instead of a manual gear box!
@@brunoterlingen2203 that part I got. Which truck are you talking about. Thar has an automatic box already as option. You suggest Gurkha to also have a TC?
Being a fan of your videos i do have some questions regarding the build quality and reliability of Gurkha cause I have seen a youtubers video of him complaining about the bad quality rubber plastics used in this car is it true? And should one even consider a Gurkha? And for the newbies Gurkha has the worst mileage
Thanks for your viewership.
Please take RUclipsrs reviews and opinion of their vehicle with a pinch of salt. It’s very subjective and anecdotal. Not correct to generalise the whole product line based on one ☝️ review.
And be advised that ‘views’ and ‘subs’ skyrocket for any negative connotation or bash video whereas truths fetch you fewer eyeballs. So approach motivation of tubers (including myself ) from that perspective.
listen to my narration clearly in this video and I do repeatedly state that there are definite QC issues and the owner cannot expect fill it shut it forget it experience. It demands a lot of involvement. There are teething issues and components randomly busting which the company is fixing and rectifying in subsequent batches but it’s not a matured evolved product as I brought out. Get ready to get your hands dirty . Service Center sin your city if it’s good it’s great , if it’s not it’s a miss. There is no consistency in quality of work and knowledge in service Center a across country, all of them are largely positive attitude and want to help though.
Plastic quality is bad (compared to what? You may want to ask him )
Fact is that frankly The interior trim and plastics are at par with Trax because it’s same dash and parts - it’s commercial , industrial and nothing fancy. It’s easy to live with and wipe and fix. It will last. It’s not the soft touch dashboards that people are looking for because this is not that kind of a car. These are all superficial. There are better cars who would excel in this department. It’s got a lot of jugaad fixes and rough edges which do bother .
But if you want a robust platform to build on. This Chassis is CNC and super stiff. Three part CNC - front axle , transfer case and rear axle bearing part chassis. Bullet proof welded with overlap . Probably strongest among Passenger cars I’ve seen. The insulation is top notch .The build quality of the chassis is extremely good and a blank canvas for us to build on.
Mileage - 2.5 ton 2.6 litre diesel running a low end torquey 5 speed with non existent top end. I would be surprised if it returned good mileage.
Should you ? - You should consider a gurkha only if you know what you’re getting into and have the Will to work with its few shortcomings . If you can do that you can build out a product slowly over the years that can outgun much more expensive cars: it’s a blank canvas . Can you paint?
@@tripaccino is shut it and forget too much to ask for? As a modern product atleast it should be a hassle free experience right?
phase 2 gurkhas are yet to come so let's wait and see the improvements and also it's going to more expensive than the phase 1 models.
Please don’t get me wrong. I’m not defending the gurkha. I am merely stating that it’s not shut it forget it. Whether it’s worth the effort is the individuals choice . There are options out there for all of us. We need to choose our battles accordingly.
Don’t get me started on phase 2 Gurkhas 😹my advise would be to wait for teething issues with the new inclusions iron out before picking one hot out of the even.
Great Information Dear
Thx 🙏
11:12....its like bolero vs bolero neo..,bolero have gurkha type gear ratio..ie no use with 5th

Hi!!! I have a question for you. There is a product in the market called Rogerab Suspension Buffer. The company claims that it makes the ride quality more cushy and lessens the body roll. I own a 2021 Mahindra Thar and have been considering to get it installed. Can you please make a video explaining the pros and cons of the same and whether the product is viable or not? Also will it by any means hamper the suspension and it's overall performance in the long run as most of my driving is either on long stretches of the highway, sometimes on the hills or a fair bit of off-road here and there.
Thanks ✌️
Ah! Rogerab. Im aware of these and have run them in their early days on a sedan. These are also band aid patch work temporary solution. They add a polyurethane or foam buffer and increase ride height by extending spring length.
I would suggest please watch my strut top hat spacer review video to understand pros and cons of such temporary mods to suspension. This plays with the coil just like top hats play with struts. I have spoken about spring buffeers as well in that IIRC.
If you want a suspension upgrade I would suggest a full swap with Dr Nano or some kit like that which will be the full term soulution.
ruclips.net/video/wDYovWfnM1M/видео.html
@tripaccino Got your point. Let me watch that video and get back, if any questions at all. Thank you so much for finding time to reply to my query. Cheers 🍻
Anytime brother: my pleasure
@tripaccino I just finished the video you suggested. I had infact seen the video earlier but couldn't correlate then which I was able to do this time. So no Rogerabs for now. I will consider getting the struts changed in future without increasing the height of course. I'm never keen on increasing the height of the SUV or changing the tyre profile drastically because it just damages the essentials in the underside of the vehicle and reduces the off-road performance in some cases. Thanks a ton!!!
Thanks for watching that. It was one of my most knowledge sharing videos , but surprisingly didn’t find as many takers as I expected. 😈Maybe a bit long and draggy for today’s short attention span. 🤔

What about displacement? Those pull power on the Gurkha is reall. I have seen this engine not sweating at all even in full load, that to 20 years ago in trax avtar. Though this engine never crossed 80kmph, that truck used to have no slow down or behave slower on hill climbs. Either Force is lowering the numbers on paper, cause the 2600 cc displacement for sure can pull a lot than thar
Displacement is the volume of engine.
Pull power is torque. We have shown how gurkha hits peak torque earlier.
We have explained advantage of both in gurkha combined with tractor like gear ratios which all manifest as the great low end puller it is.
Your observations are correct as we have noted in this narration -
‘the gurkha will slowly climb to 100 and stay there all day like a freight train thanks to its large displacement 2.6’
@@tripaccino Thanks. I forgot to thanks you for creating a lovely informative vlog, which was unbiased and completely stats on paper kind of thing.

Thank you Man ❤
You're welcome!
Can you add a supercharger in the Gurkha ?
Bigger turbo would help
One question why Gurkha has low sales...is
Marketing ?
Is it features ?
Is it brand value ?
Is it love angle ?
Why it is not getting sales ? As desired ???????
No sales as desired because there is no desire.
The company is content with selling the numbers it does. There’s no big push for volume. It’s a margin game for Force.
its a combination of the above. My family were Force Motors (then Tempo) dealers for over 20+ years. and the company had very good technically sound products like the Tempo Trax, Traveler, Matador. But jus didnt support dealers in marketing them, no one knew who the manufacturer was. The only time they tried marketing was when they rebranded as Force and launched the Force One which as an old SUV they rebadged for india. If memory serves me right they used Amitabh for that campaign but it bombed due to low brand awareness, mediocre product and no follow up campaigns. Even now if you see their digital platforms they use tacky stock photos and mock up the vehicles on them or use only content shot by users. Which is of poor quality versus the slick ads a Mahindra makes.
@@tripaccino why Force Motors is not diving in hard in the market as the product they have " A capable vehicle like GURKHA" ?.....because there's no other brand's vehicle that soothes the naked eye as Gurkha does....So the question is the Force motors satisfied 🤔🤔
@@gauravthakur9634 force motors is India’s largest van maker: its profits don’t come from the niche Gurkha : the main source of revenue is their engine and drivetrain axle production for Daimler Benz and BMW which is a thriving vertical. Gurkha is the margin product for them. So they don’t go for cut throat pricing or offers or tv ads or banner ads z What sells , sells. And who buys buys. They are in a state of rare contentment with regard to their only passenger car offering.
Trere is huge potential to blow up the gurkha into a solid international offering but Force is not ready for that kind of commitment to the Gurkha. Watch my Indian Grenadier video for the sentiment. 🤔
