It's a mixed bag. As for the vehicle itself, it is very customizable, but Ashok Leyland could offer official customization options. I had to do a lot of research to find reliable third party modifiers for my food truck conversion.

The stock configuration is fine for my courier service with a few minor tweaks. Some secure lockboxes and a GPS tracker were added. It’s not fancy, but it does the job without voiding the warranty.

The Dost Plus LX has seen some pretty cool customizations. His was turned into a mobile pet grooming salon by a friend. If you’re willing to put the effort in and do some research, it’s versatile enough.

I personally believe that other vehicles in this class have better customization support. Tata and Mahindra have more official modification options and partnerships, but the Dost is good.

I am owner of a small construction business and I added a custom toolbox and ladder rack. It was quite straightforward but I wish Ashok Leyland made these as factory options so that the warranty remains.

As per my experience, the Dost Plus LX is almost as good as the claimed mileage. In mixed city highway use, I’m getting about 18 kmpl, which is good for a loaded LCV.

I don’t think the mileage claims are quite realistic. In heavy city traffic with frequent stops, I am getting around 15 kmpl. Not bad, but not as advertised by any means.

I am actually exceeding the claimed mileage on my routes as a rural milk distributor. Averaging 20-21 kmpl on open roads. How you drive and maintain the vehicle is all that matters.

The mileage is okay but not reliable. In some trips, I am getting around 19 kmpl, and in some, it comes down to 14–15 kmpl. It seems very sensitive to driving conditions and load.

The fuel efficiency is a pleasant surprise. It gives a very consistent 18 kmpl even with a full load. My previous vehicle was a significant cost saver for my business.

For someone who does long haul trips, the fuel efficiency is excellent. On highway runs, I am very close to 19 kmpl. It also has lower city mileage, but still impressive for its class.

I believe the mileage claims are a stretch. In Mumbai traffic I’m barely hitting 15 kmpl. However, let’s be real, Ashok Leyland, even if it’s economical.

One of the best features of this vehicle is fuel efficiency. I am consistently getting 17-18 kmpl, which is huge for my small delivery business. About 19.6, but not quite, which makes me happy.

Absolutely worth it! I have used the Dost Plus LX for more than a year to supply vegetables for my business and it has been a huge impact. It's no joke on fuel efficiency - I'm using a ton less of diesel than my old vehicle.

Eh, I'm not so sure. On paper, the specs look good, but I have had some issues with the suspension. It’s not as smooth as I thought, especially when fully loaded. Maybe I just got a lemon?

This depends on what your needs are. For city deliveries, it's fantastic. However, if you are going long haul then you might want to go for something that has a little more in the way of comfort features for the driver.

I think it's overhyped. It has a good payload, yes, but the after sales service is a nightmare. Simple parts have taken weeks to arrive. Not good when it comes to your business and the vehicle.

For a fleet owner, I would say it’s a good choice. The initial cost is high, but the maintenance is very low and the value of the product goes up when you resell it. All I’ll say is make sure you have a good service center nearby.

I am on the fence with this one. However, I have heard some complaints about AC performance in really hot weather, but the Dost Plus LX is very maneuverable in tight city streets. If you are in a tropical area, this is something to consider.

I would say it’s a no brainer for small business owners. Just fuel efficiency alone makes it worth it. Also, the larger loading area than competitors means fewer trips, which is a huge time saver.
