It is always exciting to spot a test mule of a commercial vehicle in India. Recently, a Force Gurkha-based pickup truck, a test mule was spotted on Indian roads. The vehicle did not have any camouflage showcasing a significant road presence. No, it is not a camper-style pickup truck. The one spotted is a purely commercial purpose-oriented pickup truck. The vehicle featured a vibrant red paint scheme, borrowing the design elements from the Force Gurkha currently sold in the passenger car market. Want to know more? Read on folks:
Styling: The Force Gurkha Pickup Test Mule
The new Force Gurkha pickup truck had barely any camouflage showcasing all its design elements. The vehicle spotted incorporated round projector headlights with DRLs integrated into the unit. This lends the vehicle an upmarket look. However, the vehicle spotted was not outfitted with a bumper. This can be an indication that the truck’s bumper might feature equipment such as parking sensors or a new design that is not seen even on the current-gen Force Gurkha SUV. Nevertheless, the fascia looks stunning with a butch look thanks to the new grille, headlight units and muscular bonnet with sharp contours. In addition to these, the vehicle also had LED indicator lights mounted on the fender, giving it a tough SUV appeal.
Coming to the side, the Force Gurkha pickup spotted also featured five-spoke alloy wheels giving the vehicle a premium look in every sense. As a matter of fact, the vehicle also stands tall in appearance thanks to the large alloy wheels. It does not lean towards being a mundane design that is commonly seen in the commercial vehicle sector. But, we must state that automakers have stepped up the game in the past year offering new technologies and design elements that are otherwise only to be seen on passenger vehicles. Overall, in terms of side profile, the Force pickup truck looks modern in design and tough in appearance.

Now looking at the rear end, the Force Gurkha single-cabin pickup truck looks equally appealing as that of the front end – looks bold and muscular in design. The test mule spotted had a rear crash bar. If launched with the same crash bar, customers would not need to replace it with an aftermarket one as it seems pretty solid and tough. What’s more interesting is that the taillights and number plate holders are integrated into the crash bar. This makes it unique, unlike other brands which outfit them on the rear body panel. The tailgate also has a Force branding incorporated seamlessly into the design. These should make the Force Gurkha single-cab pickup truck a top-notch product in terms of design when launched.
Force Gurkha Pickup: Specifications On Offer?
The Force Gurkha Pickup truck spotted, incorporated a snorkel, hinting that the vehicle is a 4-wheel drive-based (4WD) pickup. When launched, the commercial-grade Gurkha pickup truck should use a 2.6-litre diesel engine paired with a 5-speed manual transmission. As for other specifications, the test mule spotted had leaf springs in the rear. The vehicle is likely to come with the dashboard design of the 5-door Gurkha. However, being a commercial vehicle, it should miss out few features. Nevertheless, an air conditioning system, an infotainment system and power windows are expected to be on offer.
Conclusion: Rivals Of The Force Gurkha Pickup
From the looks of it, if this test mule which seems close to the production-ready model is launched, the vehicle should ideally contend with the likes of trucks such as the Mahindra Bolero Maxx Pik-Up City and Mahindra Bolero Maxx Pik-Up HD, among others. If launched, the Force Gurkha Pickup truck should take the market by storm thanks to its modern design and appeal. All-in-all, we anticipate the launch of the Force Gurkha truck to be pretty soon.
