The Good:
- Effortless cruiser.
- No chance of getting fatigue while/after the journey.
- A/C worked well in both dry and humid climes.
- At 120km/h the engine noise cannot be heard at all.
- The Bridgestone Tubeless tires did their job well.
- ABS and EBD were indispensables when slowing down from high speeds.
- Have crossed the 1000km/h mark and so will get the 1st servicing done ASAP.
- Since it is still in the run-in period did not thrash it about too much. On the way out kept it around 2500 RPM in the 5th which got it to do 110km/h.
- On the way back let the beast open up a bit more and stayed around the 3000 RPM. The engine felt better now and peppier but as soon as I crossed 140km/h there was like a hollow sound coming from the engine like someone left the door open in a storm.
- Wind noise reared its ugly head at about 90km/h.
- The squeaks in the cabin came and went during the trip. On smooth roads the car is completely silent but as soon as you hit bad roads the squeaks and clicks start their cacophony.

I am following you from tbhp! Bhai kuch photu-fotu ho jaye :D
Which version of the car should i go in for.is 2 lacs xtra justified for the vx instead of the ex.
Hi Sumit,
The Photos will be up later today!
Thanks,
Hi Akash,
You as ask a very good question! To be honest I would have bought the LX had it come with ABS and EBD. The fit and finish is so bad that anything above 8 lacs makes this truck highly unjustifiable.
Alas, TML don't give this option. If you have the budget get the VX just for the ABS and EBD. I don't know if it's worth 2 lakhs but what price would you put on your life?
After owning the beast for 3 weeks or so I can tell you driving this thing around without ABS is almost suicide. It is way to heavy and powerful not to have ABS.
I hope this helps.

The truck is awesome. Am loving it. Find it hard to drive anything else now :)
Cheers
