Is the new Mercedes-Benz G-Class just a bit to glitzy for your liking? Maybe the once hardcore mil-spec go-anywhere do-anything utility vehicle has been sanitized by the addition of all that leather and comfort. Or maybe the new G is just a bit too pricey. Either way, if you’re one of the people who longs for something a bit more rugged and rustic than anything Mercedes offers here, and you happen to live in Southeast Asia, you might want to take a look at the Force Gurkha.
It isn’t some crazy million-dollar G-Wagen restomod. Instead, it’s an unrelated but rugged vehicle that draws inspiration from the famous Mercedes off-roader. There are a couple of engine options, including a turbocharged 2.2-liter inline four-cylinder diesel engine that makes 140 horsepower and 237 lb-ft of torque and a 2.6-liter that makes 85 hp and 170 lb-ft. Yes, the bigger engine is less powerful since it makes do without forced induction. And in actuality, both diesel engines are licensed from Mercedes-Benz and produced in India as part of an ongoing business relationship for more than 40 years now.
There’s also a conventional transfer case that offers a low-range for off-roading. There are coil springs at all four corners, seating for up to nine, 8.3 inches of ground clearance, an approach angle of 44 degrees, and a departure angle of 40 degrees. In case you were wondering, the current G-Wagen has an approach angle of 31 degrees and a departure angle of 30 degrees.
Perhaps the best thing about the Force Gurkha is the price. The most expensive model rings in at 1,330,000 Indian Rupees or $17,745 USD. No matter how you slice it, that’s one heck of a deal.

I have learned some new issues from your internet site about pc’s. Another thing I have always presumed is that computers have become an item that each family must have for many people reasons. They supply you with convenient ways in which to organize households, pay bills, shop, study, tune in to music as well as watch shows. An innovative way to complete most of these tasks is a laptop computer. These computer systems are mobile, small, powerful and easily transportable.
