People expect too much sometimes I think. At its price and in its category, the Dost Strong is plenty tough. Just keep it maintained well and it’ll do very well.

There is no such thing as an indestructible vehicle. Dost Strong has its strengths and its limits. My small farm has had reliable use from it, though I don't overdo it.

Eh, I'm not entirely convinced. It's not bad, by no means, but I've had LCVs that were better in the same ballpark. The Tata Intra V30, for instance, offers similar features at a more competitive price point.

The hype is real, folks! Dost Strong’s modular design is what sets it apart from the competition. It is easy for me to switch between different body types as needed. It was like having various vehicles in a single place.

It's good, but not revolutionary. In fact, the Mahindra Bolero Pikup still has a run for its money in terms of overall performance and brand reliability.

However, the Dost Strong is still far ahead in range and time to refuel. Long haul is not there yet for electric LCVs, but they are improving.

The future is electric, there is no doubt about it. The Dost Strong, however, is better value for money at this time. In most part of India, the infrastructure for electric vehicles is just not ready.

I’ve used both, and to be honest, the Dost Strong is my go to for my business. Electric LCVs are too expensive for me to be able to afford the downtime for charging.

The environmental impact is not to be forgotten about. Although the Dost Strong is efficient for a diesel vehicle, it cannot match the zero emissions of electric LCVs.

The Dost Strong electric LCV is much less expensive at the outset than most electric LCVs. It’s a crucial factor for small businesses. If you can’t afford the vehicle in the first place, you can’t be green.

So the first thing to address, if you want to get real, is beefing up that suspension. A 2 inches lift kit would do wonders for ground clearance and not give away too much stability.

And forget the lift kit, what the Dost Strong really needs is a good set of all terrain tires. That alone would make a huge huge difference off road.

Such tiny thinking from you guys. What if we go all out and convert it to 4x4? Any terrain that beast would be quite the thing.

4x4 conversion? That's overkill and probably illegal. I'd look at more practi mod such as skid plates to make the undercarriage less vulnerable and snorkel to ford water.

I feel like we got the wrong idea. The Dost Strong is not a Jeep; it’s an LCV. Perhaps we should concentrate on mods to increase its carrying capacity for rough rural roads rather than trying to make it into an off roader.

I’m not sure about adding a winch to the front bumper. If you are delivering diapers and end up stuck in mud or sand during remote areas, it would be a lifesaver.
