I have no personal experience with the Roxor's, but it makes sense that they'd last longer than a UTV. The Roxor is essentially a Jeep CJ with a diesel engine and Dana 44 axles. Most (perhaps all) UTV's are thin tube frame buggy's with over size, high revving ATV engines. The Roxor obviously isn't going to go where a SxS will, but I would bet an awful lot that they'll last lots longer.This sounds to good to be true................
UTV shopping - ROXOR?

There are a number of states where ATV's and SxS's are street legal on county roads. In practice, in many of those cases, they get a pass on rural state roads as well. There are a lot of folks in my county, some right in town, who don't own a "street legal" vehicle. They just use a SxS. Some put road tires on them for better tire life. A Roxor would be ideal for those folks.

We do have experience utilizing UTV's, ATV's and small trucks used on trails for work. We had been using Toyota truck but switched back to a 6x6 atv for that that. We have zero confidence that "Roxor" built a better mouse trap nor are we looking for a CJ for that work.
Let us know when you have personal experience with the Roxor...
How many miles did your Toyota truck have on it? The Roxor is a body on frame truck. Solid axles, manual transmission, manual transfer case, diesel engine. It makes perfect sense that it would last longer than a UTV. Trucks like that generally do. While I would like to, I doubt I'll ever own one. I have a Suzuki Samurai, which is the same size and basic design as the Roxor, other than the diesel engine. I hope to remedy that with a Kubota engine at some point. Oh, and "Roxor" didn't make anything. That's the model name. The company is Mahindra and they've been making these since shortly after WW2.

I've had my 2018 Roxor for a couple years now. I have had no problems with it and everything works like new with a little over 12,000 miles on it so far. I use it on the trails on our property to haul people and other stuff around and I use it to drive the ~33 miles to a property where I help a friend with his wildlife management. It will easily run 60 mph down the highway, so I use it to run to town in fairly often. I bought it to replace a Kubota RTV-X1140. It was cheaper than the Kubota and has been FAR more useful and versatile. I have confidence it will last much longer and be much easier to maintain and work on if the need arises...it's dirt simple, just big dumb iron. I also own a '97 Jeep TJ and always thought it would be awesome to have a diesel Jeep. Now I do and I was right, it IS awesome.
