It's very easy: I've edited the title after it turned out that this company gives a flying kangaroo about they're customers.

Thinking about buying one, how many kms have you put on it and any problems big or little that you can think of?

No not at all. They don't care at all. It's just a money machine. It's a shame the car is really not bad but the service is....

That's amazing, and strange at the same time. How did you find the video? Pandio will be for sail very soon. I've just bought a bother project 🙃

@Alans-channel I'm looking for a new yacht and was talking about Pandion and your video came up in my feed

Yep the problem is not really the car it's the company behind it. Selling selling selling..... by the way if the clunk is whilst turning in 4l on solid ground it is normal it's the clutch in the trasfercase ( 4wd on demand...) releasing "too" much pressure of the drive train. I had that too but got a good explanation from someone who knows a lot about that system from a different (not Chinese) brand.since that I don't worry too much about it ...only use it when really necessary. 1 gear + cross country mode is low enough for most situations. Hope that helps mate

@@Alans-channel definitely not normal and the TOD does not function when in 4low. The entire driveline is locked besides the front diff because it doesn’t have a locker. I’m a mechanic with plenty of experience in the 4x4 industry and this is the exact same Borg Warner transfer case that had this issue when it was used in the previous model Ford Ranger. The ZF auto is awesome but the transfer has issues. This company basically just raped a shit load of other cars parts they could get their hands on to build a car. They know that there is a problem as in the new Cannon XSR they have opted for a different 4x4 system as well as a front locker. I know what you are talking about and yes it can happen in other models but this clunk is so loaded it actually shudders the entire drive line. Very similar severity that the patrols experience when the transfer case chain has stretched and skips on the square edged sprockets that connect front to rear when locked.

Yea right I just don't mention that my mates brand new ranger dropped his genuine towbar two weeks ago on the boat ramp. When the situation was sorted, We had a good laugh about that. 😂 Same issue cheap/ wrong bolts. Damage on the frame due to this same as on the cannon.... I think the attitude of some Aussie mechanics got nothing to do with the cars quality. But you are right it is a cheap car. Numbers poof that 👍

That's a question that has been sorted out a million times....if you use things they fail every now and than.... Same same with every brand these days.

No. Good 4wd are built tough.

I still have it. It's not like the dealer would take it back for a fair price 🤷

Read the description and you will find out. 👍

Yeah definitely misleading

This cars have some issues others don't have. Considering the price you think you can live with it yeah, but it all ends with the service you don't need 7 years warranty when your dealer won't care about you after not even two years. Heard that a lot around the community and finally I'm in that position. GWM Australia doesn't answer mails, the dealer don't want to deal with problems or pretend every thing is fine..... And so on.it's just a pain in the bud. The worst thing is they are lying. They pretend to do things (important service ) and obviously haven't done a thing. ....

Thanks mate.

Absolutely 👍

Thx mate, I appreciate that👍

I use to have gwm v240 2012.Iin 8 years 290000 km never missed a beat. all my other mates with ranger, dmax etc all had mechanical issues of some sort . just bought a new cannon . a8 lot of jealousy from other ute owners cause we got a cheaper ute with more functions and its bigger than most! tail gate ladder , 4 disk brakes, electric steering plus rear cabin power outlet not many other utes have all this .For the jealous ones suggest you turn your head when you see a gwm ute driving towards you or pretend not to look :-)

Is this Donald Trump commenting 😂.

@@petearvo chi-chi-china

@@Hazardbone 🤣🤣🤣

Yeah heard this and experienced it too, but it's no different with some other brands. But yeah you really have to be very penetrant on the phone to get something moving. But you're right especially when there's no other gwm dealer around it seems like they do what they want and it's selling cars not bugger around with warranty issues.... It's a shame

@@Alans-channel you are prob correct as with other brands to a certain degree, and again right that it is a missed opportunity for what, apart from warranty issues seems a good vehicle.

No difference to ford .The issues with rangers .There service is shocking .

@@TheRobMarkby You'll find most warranty jobs are shit. There's also huge wait lists for parts across all brands. Not considering GWM as your next ute because of a handbrake switch is pretty dense.

@@ashcosmo3854 you would have to be pretty dense to think this was about a delaminating hand brake button. My post was about the general state of warranty communication. While I have also recognised that many, if not all brands are poor in this space, I was particularly frustrated with GWM’s dealer Autostrada.

Yeah should have. But every time we've been around Brissi we had dramas with the car. But Iam still looking for a bull/winch bar and a rear bar 😉

@@Alans-channel give us a call ask for Byron👍 see what we can do. I also want to know what happened with the tow bar🤔

I'm pretty sure there can be more power with just a remapping. But hey, it's a little 2 Liter engine...I believe every hp on top would not be very reliable.

Sorry a bit late 275/65 18 and 2 inch lifted

Have some self respect FFS

look it up on your local dealer website mate..Geez.

True! :)

The journalists you speak of are not very experienced in true off-road driving, most spend 99% test time on road and easy gravel, secondary country roads. Very few will give you a true assessment of low-range gearing, wheel articulation, departure and approach angles, vulnerable under body points, fuel capacity and range, ability to add extra fuel tanks, suspension lifts and all the other after-market accessories that protect the vehicle off-road, which are lacking in this vehicle that has yet to penetrate the market. Cape York is not the place to discover, that you really should have spent the extra and bought a proven product.

@@trickster8635 I agree about the journalist in general, but this guy was testing all current utes on a very steep incline, he was adamant that because the ford raptor failed initially, then with all bells and whistles engaged it made it, goes on to state everything else will struggle. Ford Wildtrak, straight up, Ram, straight up first time, Chev, straight up first time, Jeep Gladiator up first time, Ssangyong Musso up first time, Triton up first time, D-Max failed, BT-50 failed, Cannon, failed. Even though Jeep went up first time, for the fun of it he engaged all the bells & whistles just cause he can and continues to play in it. Then goes on to claim D-Max, BT-50 & Cannon are not fit for purpose. Well, in a Cannon X one must have Cross Country mode activated or else you have an open centre diff. Why when you engage all the bells & whistles of the Raptor (required) Jeep (just for the hell of it) would you not activate Cross Country mode? Conclusion, owners of the Cannon find them very capable if Cross Country mode is activated. Many so called rated vehicles don't survive the cape also. Know that other Cannons have been to Cape and successfully returned. Bit of an underated truck I suspect.

Absolutely we tow a little caravan across Australia. And it's totally fine. I would never tow 3 tons with it and it's a bit annoying that you put your foot down and the car starts thinking for 2 seconds before it takes of flying. Could not fix that issue with a throttle controller.but the thinking that you need a big engine to get good talk is from 29 years ago....not talking about reliability.....🤭

@@Alans-channel thanks for the quickly reply, I did the test drive here in Costa Rica, and the car worked very well but sometimes seemed that the engine was overload so I was curious on getting feedback from people using it in real conditions. some people have suggested me that the stress on the motor could be a problem on the long run and have suggested me to better try a car with a 2.4L or 3.0L motor, but I will highly consider the opinion from someone using it in one of the wildest places on earth like is Australia. Nice production by the way 👌

@@knoraziel thx mate

@@Alans-channel There is another UA-camr pulling a 3t caravan and he says it does it easy

@@MrHsv123 across the Nullarbor I would not worry too much. BUT: I've been at the point where the car nearly stalled in second gear and would not shift into first gear ( for example Brisbane ranges) and that's only a 1.4-1.6 ton caravan. Sorry if that's what he says it might be his experience but I doubt he would have made it up that hills.not to mention the red bakes on the way down because you don't get much engine braking out of that engine.
