Still have questions?
Ask about on-road price, variant specs, dealers near you or finance. The trucks-india.com desk replies within one working day.
The Ashok Leyland Dost + costs about Rs 7.75 lakh to Rs 8.25 lakh ex-showroom. On-road price is higher because RTO tax, insurance and registration get added on top, and those change by state. Ask two or three dealers in your city, because discounts differ.
The Ashok Leyland Dost + gives about 20 kmpl. Your actual figure depends on load, road condition and driving style. With a 40 litre tank, that is roughly 800 km on one full tank.
Rated payload is 1,500 kg. Gross vehicle weight is 2,805 kg, which is the truck plus the load together. Stay inside this figure. Overloading breaks springs and tyres early and invites fines at the check post.
The Ashok Leyland Dost + uses a 1,478 cc diesel engine, 70 HP, 170 Nm of torque. It meets BS VI norms.
Gross vehicle weight is 2,805 kg, or about 2.81 tonnes. GVW is the total allowed weight of the truck plus body plus goods, and it decides which licence and permit you need.
It is mainly used for parcel, courier, poultry and construction material. If your daily load and route match that kind of work, this truck fits.
It comes with a 5-speed manual gearbox. A manual gearbox keeps the running cost and the repair bill lower, and most workshops can handle it.
It has 4 tyres in a 4x2 layout. Tyre size is 195 R15 LT 8 PR.
Ashok Leyland gives a manufacturer warranty on this truck. The exact months and kilometre limit change by model and state, so get it in writing from your dealer at the time of booking.
Turning radius is 6 m and wheelbase is 2,510 mm. A smaller turning radius makes market lanes and narrow gates easier, so compare this figure with the other trucks on your list.
The closest options at this size are Force Trax Crew Van (2,900 kg GVW, from about Rs 8 lakh), Isuzu D-MAX (2,990 kg GVW, from about Rs 8 lakh) and Mahindra Bolero Pik UP ExtraStrong (2,995 kg GVW, from about Rs 8 lakh). Compare payload, mileage and the service network on your own route before you decide, because those three decide your cost per km more than the sticker price does.
Yes. The Ashok Leyland Dost + has a GVW of 2,805 kg, within the 7,500 kg light motor vehicle limit. The Supreme Court ruled on 6 November 2024 that an LMV licence holder may drive a transport vehicle of this weight without a separate transport licence. Hazardous-goods work needs extra qualifications.
