The moment a Mahindra comes to the rescue during a flash flood

According to the video shared via Mundodi Vlogs YouTube channel, the truck got stuck as it tried to cross a small river on the farm.

In the video, the workers can be seen attaching the two vehicles with a rope.

“To increase the traction on a wet surface, we need some extra weight,” the vlogger explained.

“So we have asked four people to sit inside the jeep.”

With the additional people onboard, it’s time to launch the rescue mission.

In the words of the cameraman, the Mahindra C3JB does the job ‘like a champ’.

It’s not the first time we’ve seen this type of car in superhero mode with this modified Mahindra Bolero 4×4 rescuing people trapped in flood.

Age is just a number – and this Mahindra C3JB jeep is proof

Being fifty-five years old and pulling off a water rescue is pretty impressive.

Back in 2019, the CJ3B jeep made headlines upon its milestone birthday.

Anand Mahindra, chairperson of Mahindra Automotive, acknowledged the jeep at the time: “When I see stories like this, it once again makes me acknowledge the immense responsibility of nurturing a brand that is embedded in people’s hearts.

“I pray that the current & future leadership of Mahindra Automotive will always be conscious of this responsibility.”

Mahindra Automotive is just one branch of Mahindra Group, a Mumbai-based business conglomerate.

With aerospace, information technology, leisure, hospitality, real estate, and energy also under their remit, it’s no wonder that Mahindra himself has a net worth of $3.5 billion.

Rescue missions are always satisfying to watch.

This Tesla Cyberbeast delighted many online when it was filmed towing a Ford F-150 back onto the road.

In addition to that, this Rivian R1T was filmed retrieving a heavier truck from a ditch with relative ease.

On the flip side, we saw the mysterious Rivian R1T stuck in a ditch for months being rescued.

But they’re all youngsters compared to the CJ3B, so what do we expect?
