Built to Last: Why the ROXOR Steel Body Wins in South Texas

When you are working a ranch in Victoria County or navigating thick brush on a deer lease near Port Lavaca, your equipment takes a beating. Most modern side-by-sides are wrapped in plastic panels that can crack, fade, or puncture. The Mahindra ROXOR stands alone with its automotive-grade, 12-gauge steel body. At Atzenhoffer Velocity, we believe this "steel-first" philosophy is exactly what South Texas drivers need.

Steel vs. Plastic: The Durability Reality

While plastic UTV bodies are designed to be lightweight, they often lack the structural integrity required for heavy-duty ranching and industrial work. Here is why steel is the superior choice for our local environment:

• Repairability: If you dent a steel ROXOR body panel, it can be straightened and repainted. If you crack a plastic panel on a traditional UTV, it usually requires an expensive full replacement.
• UV Resistance: The intense Texas sun is notorious for making plastic brittle and causing colors to fade over time. The ROXOR’s paint-on-steel finish is built to withstand years of direct sunlight.
• Protection from Brush: When driving through mesquite or cedar, steel provides a much higher level of puncture resistance and protection for the occupants and the vehicle's internal components.

The Boxed-Steel Frame Advantage

The durability of the ROXOR isn't just skin deep. Underneath that steel body sits a fully boxed-steel frame. Unlike the tubular frames found on many competitors, a boxed frame offers significantly more torsional rigidity. This means less flexing when you are hauling 3,500 pounds or navigating deep ruts in a wet South Texas field.

Invest in Longevity

Buying a ROXOR is an investment in a machine that is built like a tractor but drives like a truck. If you are tired of replacing cracked plastic and want a vehicle that can truly handle the rigors of the Crossroads area, it is time to see the all-steel ROXOR in person.
