2007 Tacoma extended cab 4x4. It's been reliable but is not even close to rugged (very thin sheet metal, fragile tailgate, thin glass) and the designers clearly made many decisions based on penny pinching (rear drum brakes, leaf springs w/o isolators, cheesy glove box damper, cheap tires and shocks, fragile bed retention system, no bed light, collapsible armrest "feature", easily scratched painted hard plastic surfaces, etc).
The older, smaller Toyota design was much more rugged. Hopefully Mahindra follows that path.
