The Dost Plus LS has been more than adequate for my catering business. The lower running costs have really helped my bottom line, which is why I find it easier to park in tight spots. I can understand that it won’t work for every business however.

I believe it depends more on your load type rather than weight. If I run my flower shop, the Dost is suitable as it keeps flowers fresh and has no problem with weight. Depending on what you are hauling though, maybe you need something bigger, such as construction materials.

The versatility is what got me. It could be used for deliveries during the week and a canopy on for the weekend market stall. Can you try to do that with a big truck!

At first, I was skeptical but after using Dost Plus LS for my small manufacturing business for a year I don’t even bother to look back. Ninety percent of my transport needs it handles, and when I have a big job I just outsource.

Such an inflexible idea is a great middle ground, but it isn’t for everyone. If you are doing long distance or maxing out the payload regularly you are probably better off with a larger truck.

It has been perfect for my pest control business. It fits all my equipment, it's great on fuel and doesn't scream 'commercial vehicle' which my residential clients appreciate.

I feel that people underestimate the Dost Plus LS. Phew, a few creative loadings and a little planning after and I have been able to completely replace my larger truck. Just working smarter, not necessarily harder.
Is the Ashok Leyland Dost Plus LE reliable for daily heavy duty usage as compared to other competitors?

Decent, but not bulletproof as Ashok Leyland claims. The clutch has worn out faster than I expected and the suspension sags a bit under constant heavy loads.

The Dost Plus LE is more reliable compared to the Tata Intra that I came from. They seem to be better at mitigating the overloading (and I do not over load things) and the engine feels less fragile.

It seems like an above average heavy duty use but not extraordinary. Nothing major that left me stranded but I have had a few electrical niggles that were annoying to deal with.

The Dost Plus LE is a tank in my experience. I use it for my business, construction supply, and it just keeps going, even on rough roads with heavy loads. Definitely more reliable than my old Mahindra Supro.

Well, I believe that it depends on how well you maintain it. I service religiously, and the Dost has been trouble free for 100,000 km of hard use. The more things get slacked on, the more issues come up among said friends.

It's reliable, but not invincible. The clutch has worn out sooner than expected, and the brake pads wear out quickly if you are doing a lot of stop and go driving with the heavy load.

Having owned both the Dost and the Tata Intra, the Dost wins out in terms of reliability. It seems to tolerate abuse better and when something does have a problem it is cheaper and quicker to fix.

I have had a mixed bag with the Dost Plus LE. In terms of engine reliability it is great, but I have had ongoing problems with the electrical system that have been very frustrating to deal with.

8/10 for the Dost Plus LE for daily heavy duty. Not perfect but it is much more reliable than any other LCV I have owned. As long as you keep to the maintenance schedule is will take anything you throw at it.
Compared to other LCVs for long haul, how does the cabin comfort of Ashok Leyland Dost Plus LE stand?

I have driven both the Dost Plus LE and Tata Intra on long hauls and Dost wins hands down. On those 8 hour stretches, the seats are more supportive and have a more natural driving position.

I’m not that impressed with the Dost’s cabin honestly. Yes, it’s better than my old Maruti Super Carry, but the noise levels at highway speeds are still quite high. This makes it difficult to relax on long drives.

Mahindra Supro has a slight edge when it comes to overall cabin comfort, but the Dost Plus LE’s cabin is decent. The seats feel a bit more plush and the cabin does a better job of isolating road noise.

I am a person who makes 500+ km trips regularly and the cabin of Dost Plus LE is a lifesaver for me. Good visibility, adjustable steering and seat make it easy to find a comfortable position for those long highway stretches.
