Nice, but not great for really long trips. The steering wheel could be adjustable and the seat could use more cushioning. I feel pretty sore after about 5 or 6 hours.

For a person who does 10-12 hour trips all the time, I find the Dost Plus LX to be surprisingly comfortable. It is very good visibility which really cuts down on eye strain on long drives.

The Dost is like a luxury car when compared to my old Mahindra Jeeto. The cab noise is reduced and the suspension is better on bumpy roads. My back thanks me every day.

It's a mixed bag. Seating position is good, but there is no proper lumbar support which becomes a real problem on long drives. In peak summer, the AC struggles to keep up, which is a real comfort killer.

It's pretty comfortable for an LCV. However, it’s not a long haul truck. I can make 6 hour trips just fine but I wouldn't want to go much above that without a break.

I have found the Dost Plus LX to be surprisingly roomy as a larger guy. Seat adjustability is good and control placement is intuitive. This has made my delivery routes much more bearable.

The ride is pretty bumpy when empty, but it’s comfortable enough. I have found that a small cushion on the seat makes all the difference in the world on those long highway stretches.

The comfort level is impressive for an LCV. Long trips are noticeably free of vibration compared to other vehicles in its class. The one thing that could use improvement for us long haul guys would be better storage options in the cabin.

I have driven the Dost Plus LX in the Western Ghats and it is a beast! However, the torque really shines on those steep inclines. The vehicle is way better than my old Tata Ace that struggled with full loads.

It's decent, but not exceptional. On really steep roads, I find it struggles a bit when fully loaded. However, in these conditions, it seems the Mahindra Bolero Pickup has a slight edge.

As far as hills go, the Dost Plus LX does pretty well, but braking on the descents could be better. There have been a few scares on long downhill stretches.

It handles hilly terrain impressively. The gear ratios seem to be well tuned for climbs. But what I’ve noticed is that the engine heats up too quickly for my liking on long uphill hauls.

It's a mixed bag. For climbs it has great power, but rough mountain roads can feel a bit stiff on the suspension. I hope they adjust it to be more smooth.

It's good, but not perfect. A great addition would be the hill hold feature for those of us with steep starts. Ashok Leyland, please make it happen!

I feel it does better than most of the competition in the hilly region and when it comes to the fuel efficiency. On the same routes I am getting better mileage than my friend’s Mahindra Jeeto.

It has a solid performance, but the clutch tends to wear out a little faster than expected, particularly on hilly routes. If you are in a mountainous area, something to keep in mind.

The Dost Plus LX is actually quite customizable. I have a mobile library and were able to fit custom shelving and a retractable awning. The design of flat bed makes it a great canvas for modifications.

Basic mods are decent, but anything too complex will void the warranty. Ashok Leyland was not very supportive, and I wanted to add a refrigeration unit. I ended up opting for a third party installer that was a bit risky.

I am a flower delivery business owner and I added a custom rack system which works great. The payload capacity is very large and you can modify it quite a bit without affecting performance too much.

The customization options are not impressive. I tried to get a hydraulic lift installed for my appliance delivery business and dealing with authorized dealers was a nightmare. Turned out to cost a lot more than I was expecting.
