Mahindra Bolero Pik-Up balances on pipes to cross deep gap, video viral

A video featuring a Mahindra Bolero Pik-Up performing a risky manoeuvre in the mountains is going viral on social media. As seen in the video, there’s a pickup truck attempting to cross a deep trench by carefully balancing on a set of metal pipes placed between two rocky edges. The incident is believed to have been recorded somewhere in rural areas of Himachal Pradesh.

In the short video, the light commercial vehicle can be seen slowly approaching the narrow crossing before climbing onto a group of metallic pipes laid across the gap. The driver then gradually moves the pickup forward while keeping the wheels aligned on the pipes. Several people standing nearby help the driver navigate the trench without tipping or losing grip.



The video has been widely shared online and has sparked mixed reactions among viewers. Many social media users praised the driver for the careful control and skill required to complete such a risky crossing. Others expressed disbelief at the attempt, pointing out how dangerous the situation looked.




The vehicle seen in the clip is one of the most popular light commercial pickups in India. It is built on a ladder-frame chassis and is powered by a 2.5-litre four-cylinder m2Di engine that produces 80 hp of power and 220 Nm of peak torque. The engine is paired with a five-speed transmission, and it can be had in 2WD and 4WD configurations.
