“Were looking for value for money, so we’ll ignore the GWM that’s five star safety, full of tech, cheaply priced, with a seven year unlimited warrantee and five year roadside assist, and instead wank ourselves over the Hilux and Ranger that are priced nearly twice as much as it, like every other road test does”.
We chose the GWM. We believe what other road tests have said; if you actually drive the GWM Cannon, you start to consider whether it’s not that the Cannon is “priced too cheap”, but whether all the others are “priced way too high for what they are.”
Good to see Musso there!
Toyota fan boys won't be happy with this outcome, they would still want that tractor called the Hilux to win against the clear winner
lol as long as ranger stays 2nd in sales this fan boy dont care
@@arcsolomon6360 ua-cam.com/video/3ZpljI1lKAs/v-deo.html as long as ford ranger electronic freeze while towing 3.5 ton will be ok 😂😂😂😂😂
Toyota is not a good perfect car in terms of driving comparison experience 2.5 liters Toyota Hilux is less power then Mitsubishi Triton 2.4 L and Ford ranger 2.0Liters biturbo, also Toyota is not very good at sterling cornering performance but only good for slowly driving,offroad, towing, fail the European moose test compare with Mitsubishi Triton and Ford ranger is better perfect driving performance handling stablity cornering driffting sliding manuvering sterling at highway onroad and offroad.
I spent weeks looking at Dual Cabs some were nearly $75k with the fruit. I drove many and for my money I bought the Musso. Very quiet inside has all the bells and whistles that I need. Coils, discs and drives so much better than my work utes. Great comparison chaps and very fair. Thanks
Agree! Only concern is will they will around for much longer. Bankrupt in 2021 makes me nervous. Do you have the long tray version?
@@jaredebeling1412 They have been making utes since 1954, which is longer than Toyota have. I have a Musso 2021 Ultimate Lux, same as the one tested here. Love it.
It's a nice ute for the price. Rides nicely, quiet, decent fuel economy and got the luxuries like nappa leather and sunroof. I actually prefer it to the Ranger.
Had the ultimate xlv for 2 months cannot fault it ,lovely to drive,all the bells etc .
You would not go wrong, have had my Musso 18 months no hassles, been to Darwin and back towing 3ton Noel's Island star Exstream .
Now in sunshine Coast
Had my heart set on the Wikdtrak, until I drove it. Technology was amazing but I had also driven the Musso, GWM, Triton and LDV. The Ford was good but not $25,000 better, plus their history of transmission and diff issues I just couldn't go through with it. Bought the Lux Musso added an electric roller, sports bar, upgraded suspension, side steps, tow bar, brake controller, anderson plug in tub and pocketed the extra $25,000. Also the size is largest in its class, and delivered in less than 4 weeks.
Hi I had my mind set on a cannon will have to drive the musso to compare the two. I sat in the cannon and found it roomy im 6ft2 sounds like the musso is bigger? Also where did you get your aftermarket parts from so I can compare value. Thankyou
@@alfitty Everything was from Ssangyong except the electric roller which was from Bodyline in Melbourne. I drove the GWM I personally didn't like it but it actually wasn't terrible. The one thing I couldn't stand was the Cruise Control I couldn't keep a constant speed. The other thing was the DPF burns it does apparently very often.
@@alfitty savage tech in Brisbane are the aftermarket parts specialist for cannon ute
I'm thinking along the lines of a base model Musso for myself, should I get a ute.
@@1969cmp The base model is where you get the most value. You don't get all the luxuries buy you get a massive car for your money.
Best value is the Musso hands down. Very underrated ute imo.
Extremely underrated for sure
They didn't mention that it also comes with a 7 year roadside assistance.
After pondering for almost a year I've put a deposit on a long wheelbase Musso. It impressed me the most on the test drive and seems the best value for money.
I can’t ignore the consistent positive reviews on the Musso. It’s a sleeper, way under the radar and I reckon I’ll buy one.
SOOOO happy you haven't called them "trucks"😊.
Love the Ssangyong Musso
Why not review one with the upgraded Iron Man Suspension? 7 year Warranty plus 7 Year roadside assistance.
Can you also do a night driving review please. Where you can show how bright the standard headlights are plus the cameras when reversing etc etc etc ...
Love your reviews.
Keep up the good work.
got my lux yellow v6 Wildtrak arriving for me end Oct, got lucky with delivery! Best choice for me for sure!! enjoyed watching this entire review. thankyou boys
How long did you wait for the wildtrak?
Great to see a review that finally shows what seating looks like with a car seat
would you do next video ssangyong rexton, pajero sport, fortuner, Everest,
great comparison guys great video thoroughly enjoyed it, keep up the great work..
Thanks Leo happy you liked it!
Great job thanks guys
I absolutely love Sams reviews. I think he is one of if not the best moto journalists in Australia. The Drive reviews are awesome.
nah, when reviewing seat room ,tells us seat is in his driving position ,BUT omits how tall he is !! 5'4'' ? or 6'6''? it makes a difference
FINALLY A COMPARISON THAT DOESN'T BAG THE MUSSO. PICK MY ELX XLV NEXT MONTH. 6 MONTH'S LATE, BUT PUTIN IS TO BLAME FOR THAT. CHEERS GR8 REVIEWS.
After reading reviews on the GWM I decided to check one out, curiously the local dealer is also a LDV agent as well.
The LDV is truly a basic dual cab and I wouldn't even contemplate owning one, park bench seats, ugly plastics throughout the interior, it's just as basic dual cabs used to be.
Now for a breath of fresh air, the GWM is like no other dual cab.
The interior is a glorious place to be, it's up there with a saloon interior, way ahead of any rival. It is currently let down by a lack of power compared to its rivals, but not too long ago everyone was happy with those outputs and it would be very acceptable to people wanting that interior, if I were in the market for a dual cab it would be at the top of the list, closely followed by the Musso, why. They both feature the most comfortable easy on the eye interior, no gordy stuff and that ridiculous screen in the ford, no thankyou.
It could be capable but can't live with that interior and that's were you spend your time, no matter how you utilise the vehicle.
I bought the LDV over the gwm - the interior really isnt as bad as you make out and it performs pretty well off road! I'm happy with my purchase! I wouldn't even bother looking at a Musso they look ugly AF and just don't have the performance of any of the others! I think they should've had an LDV in the test too
@@TristanMaiolo after doing alot of research on the 3 I would stay well clear on the ldv, nothing but issues, rust, engines blowing up around 20k. Musso having the least issues of the 3. Gwm still having issues but it's a risk you take with cheap unknowns.
nice work helping fund the ccp
@@imsober69 the newest one is much better than the older ones. Been fine for me so far and no regrets. Time will tell but so far there hasn't been a single issue for me.
@@m.b.82 what are you on about? Musso is Korean, you think me buying a ute is going to assist the ccp waging war on Australia? You're as bad as people saying buying halal food funds terrorism grow up you bogan goose.
Wasnt sure if I wanted a new Hilux/Ranger or Musso for work purposes. I decided to get the Musso.
$45k for the top of the line version with another $30k spare to spend on fitting on a custom toolbox canopy. With a 7 year warranty. No brainer in the end.
great video...and on point with the number 1 pick
Getting closer to the off road test am always looking forward to, I enjoyed this feature too.
I have seen a new look Toyota here in South Africa but haven't had a closer look, don't they have a late version besides the SRX ?
So thanks gentlemen.
Wait so the Triton gets the safety wooden spoon, I just had a look through your scoring chart and the scoring system is fair rubbish. How does a car get 3 stars completely untested in ANCAP and one that was tested, even though it was a while ago gets the same? You guys as always forget to mention one of the best safety systems which is the ability to engage AWD on sealed surfaces.
Ask any 4wd mechanic and they will tell you to steer well clear of the Ranger. Gearbox problems are the biggest thing and the 2L 4 cylindert is too highly strung and prone to problems. Lets hope they fixed this on the new model. Me, I'm sticking with the Dmax.
this is one of those "my mate reckons...." opinions, also not true.
@@bradcollin7071 There are enough problems reportet with Ford after 100000 km .... and lowered engine power in order not to brake anything.
@@bradcollin7071 very true sorry mate blinded by tech but reliability is not fords strong point
What a load of bullshit, i have 2 with 100 thou ks not a problem at all with either and they are work utes not soccer mum cars ,all vehicles can have issues
@@rockstargrader ... just wait another 20000 .... and first injektors will be needed
Interesting, so basically depending on what you want from your vehicle like reliability and capability just reverse your buying options and start with the Triton and Hilux. This list is for the UTE buyer's guide that hits the malls and like fancy drinks.
Sad the Toyota got 7th?
You make a good point, considering the Hilux scored 7th in this test but won the off-road test.
@@braamkotze473 not a Toyota fan but driven a bit off road I know the Triton and Hilux usually win those battles in standard form.
@@henkstols9326 I was surprised tbh
@@braamkotze473 Ford has just moved the game into the Amarok type bakkie direction and the other manufacturers are just too far behind. Im a Triton fan but cant argue if you want a new offering with fancy tech buy a Gwm P series if you on a budget or the Ranger if you can afford it. If you keen on bundu bashing and dont want to spend thousands on upgrades get the last two and you will get home every time.
I got twenty seconds into this review and knew what the result was going to be. I’m actually not entirely sure what there was to test here, the Ranger has been the best ute since the release of the PX3. I guess there is some validity to it to find second to last. The new Ranger has raised the bar, it is easily the best ute in the segment. It’s was nice however to finally see a realistic review of the Toyota. It is absolute rubbish, and it never ceased to amaze me that they (Toyota) actually manage to sell them at all. And that extends to all of the 2.8 derivative engined rubbish that Toyota pedal.
That's because Toyota has a reliability history and I have seen way more high Kms on Toyota's that's still running and sounds fine compared to other brands.
@@ephrancd1 It's funny people truly believe this. They are far from super reliable just check out the class action being raised against Toyota, not to mention DPF issues. The reason they last is they get fixed for lots of money not scrapped. Honestly they are all overpriced pieces of junk
@@michaelwalters1982 come on now boys... Play nice please, otherwise no ice-cream. Toyota Hilux has been the segment leader here in South Africa for the past 30 odd years. They most certainly did not achieve this by chance. Dpf issues and lawsuits aside, there must be a reason why so many people remain loyal to their brand. Crappy and overrated are definitely not descriptive of the mighty Hilux. I don't like them either but for reasons more related to their owners. So be nice and rather say nothing, because by repeating the same nonsense about dpf and lawsuits rather give the impression of jealously.
@@michaelwalters1982 I have been a ford man since a kid. Got a 2015 Everest and it was the worst experience in my life. A total lemon. Replaced it with a Fortuner and have had no reliability issues. The faulty DPF issue is resolved, however, Ford's issues with tranny have not.
I would love to love the Ranger, but the Toyota is far superior in durability and reliability. It is why Hilux is so popular. To call them rubbish clearly shows you don't know you are talking about.
Try driving any Toyota with 200k on the clock and do the same with a Ford, any Ford. You will then understand why Toyotas are so popular snd hold their value.
@@garrygraham7901 Another Toyota defender here to save the faceless corporation from the internet trolls, good job.
I wasn't just calling Toyota a piece of junk, I was referring to all utes in general. BTW, I also own a Petrol Hilux.
Wholesomely agreed with the verdict. Good job guys 👍👍👍👍👍
The ranger isuzu and mazda ...love them
Wow, what a surprise, who'd have picked the most expensive ute at a whopping 75k to buy, to win 🤦♂️
At nearly 35k more expensive than the musso and Gwm, im shocked...
Clearly you get what you pay for. Isn’t always the case, but it is here.
@@davidcori2440 or you could be smart and save yourself almost double the money and still get a quality product that will do the job just as good, such like the Musso.
@@trav33333 I’ve been in both and I couldn’t drive the Musso I’m sorry. Engine is ordinary and you can definitely feel the difference in quality.
@@davidcori2440 I had the opposite thought after being in both. In terms of quality, it wasn’t worth paying the extra $35k
@@riggsy7517 agreed
Love to get my hands on the new ranger
Looks like the Musso wins hands down, in regard to The most comfortable ride, The quietist ride, and also the roomiest cabin, in the dual cab market too date…
Ex ford fanboy here. I purchased a 2022 dmax xterrain, $61700 driveway. Aami comprehensive insurance for it is $900. Where do you get insurance that's costing $1700, maybe shop around or even get another sponsor selling insurance.... I average 8.3lts/100ks in the Melbourne. Very capable, only mod I have done so far is falken wildpeak ats. Has gone everywhere I want to go so far. I'm building it for a Cape York trip. Don't think I would trust the ranger for that trip, the alternator is too low in the engine bay and will leave you stranded after a few water crossings... New ranger looks great. Maybe my next ute in a few years when they sort out the gremlins. Not to mention the bad brake feel
You going to do a suspension upgrade or happy with factory, I'm doing mine up for trips aswell just um and arhing about a suspension upgrade 🤔
@@DLM2020 I probably will I'm happy with the clearance and the ride is good. When I put a winch and bar on it I think it will need it.
Finally a review thats actually not paid off and non biased. Good job.
Doing a shot each time we were told to rate various Ute options “at your peril”, would be a perilous undertaking. 😮
That's a really neat door handle design in the ranger, wow.
Falcon had them over 50 years ago lol.
How was depreciation calculated? Especially for newer models to Australia like the Ssangyung / Cannon where there are arguably no previous/legacy versions of these utes to use as data points for comparisons?
Just curious as I've done a quick search on some of the most popular used car sales websites and those 2 models seem to be holding onto their resale values well after about 18 months or so in this post-Covid market.
Anyway, great review guys.
Exactly what I asked as well
I think they took that into consideration under ownership section of the video
The Musso at least has been around for a few years now and has had previous generations to go off as well but yeah, I was wondering the same
The Musso has been sold in Australia since the early 90's as long as hyundai have been here.
Thanks for that was good to watch. I just bought a Musso pretty happy with the result
I am in the UK and have a 12 month old Isuzu D-Max double cab DL40 auto with the 1.9L TDi engine, I know its not the same engine as you guys have, but its crude and noisy, the auto is always in the wrong gear, it needs more gears, it wallows around in corners, the lane keep assist is probably the most dangerous feature I've ever found in any vehicle, its like wrestling with a bear, and it part of the NCAP 5 star rating which seems a bit counter-intuitive, I've driven lorries that are more comfortable
Nice video guys 👍👍
Thanks!
wow my dream car Ranger
With baby seats you can get compact rear facing ones now that does not impact front seats.
All the cranky people own hilux’s 😂😂😂
For the first time it looks like my next car may be a ute, my first ute. This is a good test as hard off-road is not high on my agenda, just access along bush tracks and to beaches but mainly general use and highway cruising out of central Oz to Eyre Peninsula, or across to North Queensland and WA but not the Sandover Hwy or Gibb River Road.
I like a ute that feels like a car and not a tractor.
Look closer at the Musso ,own one love it
@@phillipbing9344 Musso is currently a strong contender for the purchase. Top of my list.
User 1969cmp, harsh much! But, that’s why the All-New Amarok’s been designed right here in Australia with up to six 4x4 drive modes. #BornFromToughLove
Alan_Volkswagen
Wow... Ford Ranger is the best....great technology..awesome look....great safety features...and wonderful driving....Love to have one....best in the segment.
Fair review guys👍 Toyota are really falling behind and need to pick up their game. I’m a owner of the current DMAX. Done 44,000km from new.
I find the DMAX transmission sluggish and searches for gears with cruise control active.
It’s a good Ute but not great. lots of quirky things in the tech.Nothing some lines of code couldn’t fix. My V6 Ranger should be ready for pickup in a month. Hopefully Ford have sorted the long list of annoyances that I have with my DMax. 🤞
Good on you mate. I’ve ordered the V6 Sport & upgrading from a Colorado. I tow a 2.5T caravan 👍👍
the hilux sells like hotcakes unlike ford lol
@@arcsolomon6360 Hilux is really underpowered now. It’s a shame that Toyota hasn’t kept pace with its competitors.
It now has rear wheel disc brakes, wider wheel track & outboard shocks….sound familiar?
Next model will come out with rear side step, portrait style infotainment system & a V6 engine…….sound familiar?
If this model came out with at least rear wheel disc brakes & a powerful V6 or better engine I would have bought that.
Colorado had a 500Nm engine back in 2013….Toyota upgraded in the last couple of years.
100 extra Nm when towing a 2.5T caravan is very handy. I don’t do hardcore off-roading.
Hilux to me is like what iPhone is to Android…..still a good product & used to be the innovator however now seems to be always playing catch up.
@@RocketRod63 toyota knows what buyers needs..reliable easy to work with high resale value...under powered engine maybe but it runs for ages...thats why it sells like hotcakes unlike fords lol
With the crash test review for the Musso you could probably refer to the Rexton basiclly the same vehicle one is an suv the a ute.
Ranger by a mile. Great review guys.
sadly can't also be said with regards to reliability.
@@MiggyMndza who knows maybe they improved 🤷🏻♂️.
I'm nearly 6'2" and over 100kgs, my wife and kids are 5'10" and the Musso makes the most sense for highway cruiser with some 'soft' dirt roads to get to fishing spots or go down camping during the Finke Desert Race.
At work we have the latest D-Max and Ranger and while I do like their dash and presentation they are too narrow for four adults.
And the same with the Hilux.....3 adults in the back and you have to be half outside the vechile to put the seatbelt on.
Other highlights of the Ranger include the V6 engine option & finally rear disc brakes 👍👍
They good when there not broken 🤣
They are amazing except for the blinding TV in the cab and the electric handbrake,I thought 4wd's couldn't have electric handbrakes??! GO RANGER!! 😊
Guys great review, and the Ford Ranger said ''to be a beut'', , just wondering how the v6 ford and the v6 VW( i appreciate they the same vehicle, or at least made in same factory),love to see how hilux 2.8 engine compares to the above named 3.0litre cousins would results be for TOWING, Equally are the''3 vehicles'' better to ''my'' preference AUTOMATIC gearboxes. Guys keep up the good work, Liam in IRELAND
How surprising that there is negative mention of a 10 speed transmission refer back to 2020 where too many , 4 too many gears What so now its all good? I have the 2021 10 speed and no complaints perhaps I matured earlier than others, as did the LC300. I like how your view is that Ford could have done some things better well do remember Ford asked the customers what they wanted di you fellas get a questionnaire?
Guys, just my humble opinion since you all have this vehicles at your disposal, please do a drag race in one of your segments🙏.. we wanted to find out how the torque and gearbox can do in which even the hilux and ranger which has 500nm, i think the dmax can out run those two even with just 450nm of torque..🤔
i dont care what teh comments say i am a ford guy through and through and nothing will change that. ford built tough
Great group review ! The real shock has to be the GWM ute . Seems to be a lot of car for the price with warranty to match. A no brainer !
GWM and Musso.
Ssyong musso is the Mercedes benz joined venture company with Korean motor ,fuel economy consumption Isuzu D-MAX,cross country rally championship Mitsubishi Triton very good agile manuvere and handling ,best for speeding even when cornerring ,
Best vedeo ever
It looks like the Musso can be upgraded with the money not spent on branding.
If you need power points and USB outlets wow you can't add them ? Is that a joke , it's so easy even if you need to pay an auto-elctrician .
Suspension rates can be changed still not up to the $65 ,000 you need on hype brands .
All they need is a tub cover that is retractable and bingo .
If you ask me, pick the dual cab ute for family use. Definitely ranger wildtrak, refine interior, high technology and electric shutter, etc. However if ute for man with tools, I still need to go with hiulx sr5 with aluminium tray (tub is hopeless for trade work) robust interior, strong resell price , great fuel consumption, also part is anywhere won't impact your work if any drama caused, minimum wait time to get car fix let you back to work on time. As tradie , we can't afford even lost ute for one day. Still can have great fun with family for beach driving on weekend, but not a family ute.
If you cant lose the ute for a day id vo the musso over the hilux . More reliable
Is it true that the ssangyong musso runs the asin 6 speed transmission aswell?
Yes it does.
Good review!!!
Why aren't black headliners more common/the standard? I figure the off-white became a thing because it makes the cabin feel lighter and more airey but I think I prefer the classy look of black headliner/abc pillars.
I'm not sure where you got your resell value for gwm from its only out for 2 years. I bought mine for 33k and after 60000km now is about 28k. It's pretty good i say.
GWM basically stole the bed step from the f150 and the Ranger stole Nissan's side step.
Next video you should do is a midsize suv mega test with the ford Everest and Toyota Kluger and Isuzu mux and kia Sorento and Hyundai Santa Fe and Hyundai Palisade and Toyota Fortuner and Nissan Pathfinder and Volkswagen Tiguan allspace and Skoda Kodiaq and Mazda cx8 and mazda cx9 and ssangyong Rexton and Toyota Prado and Mitsubishi Pajero Sport and Peugeot 5008 and jeep Grand Cherokee L and ldv d90
Ford needs the Ford Explorer as well as its ford equator from China and honda needs the honda pilot and kia needs the kia telluride and Volkswagen needs the Volkswagen atlas and Subaru needs the Subaru Ascent and Chevrolet needs the Chevrolet traverse because they are great contenders in this segment in the American market but they should bring them here and also there is some Chinese midsize suvs players as well like the Changan cs95 and chery exeed vx and lynk and co 09 and geely Xingyue l and byd tang and geely Haoyue and chery jetour x90 and gac Trumpchi gs8 and jac Sehol x8 and roewe rx8 and vgv u70 and swm x7 and dongfeng ix7 and chery Tiggo8 and changan oshan x7 and baojun rs7 and changan cx70 and dongfeng x6 and haval m6 that should be able to come to Austraila because Australian love SUVs
That's not a mega test, that's a MEGA MEGA test
There is a factory update for the triton stereo now (free of charge from a Mitsubishi dealer) and the stereo looks much better
After test driving all of the utes around including ram , bought the SsangYong air con seats size etc ,even the ford raptor doesn't have at 90 K only complaint about the Musso is it doesn't have adaptive cruise control like the overseas models but 30 -50 k cheaper than others as for resale value tax wise who gives a toss about resale value
Would agree if they tested the v6 Ford but no way is the 2.0 version better than the Isuzu 3.0 and in comparison the XTR BT50 only loses leather from the top spec, I fitted a tub liner and don’t want a roll top as you lose two tie points.
I have had 3 Ford Rangers in the past ten years and generally they have been good (3.2 five cylinders). Weirdly they have got thirstier??? My 2022 is the least fuel efficient, very strange? Anyway, I was talking with our local Ford service manager and he said there are lots of issues with the new one. I think I would steer clear for a year or 2 till they sort them out.
Main issues I've heard of are software related but there is also driveshaft coupling issues and the 3.0 litre V6 is prone to blown engines. I know of 6 in my area!!!! This was an issue when they were used in Range Rover's as well. I know a chap who's Range Rover snapped the crankshaft at 63 K. Same engine now in the Ranger. Hopefully they will sort that one out???
I'd take the Mazda BT.... IF Mazda would offer it in the USA 🇺🇸
It is the most beautiful for sure
I'm only half-way through, watching the rear occupancy part of the review. After watching the front interior section and now through the rear occupancy, from what I can glean so far in the overall review is that the Cannon is by far the most spacious and comfortable interior. It seems that GWM needs to learn that if they add SatNav and DAB radio (I guess people still listen to radio), they could charge $30,000 more for their vehicle. I hope they don't watch this video, they might get ideas on ripping us off like the others... I've also learned from this review that if any manufacturer puts a screen in the portrait position, no matter how bad it is, they will win as long as they are one of the most commonly known manufacturers of course.
not questions that the ranger it's a great ute, but $30k more expensive than a gwm cannon, do you really need to spend that much more to have pretty much a "ute" in both cases?
Also my question is, are the top utes (ranger, hilux) really unbreakable, or you get them just because the hold the price better?
مازدا اجمل غرفه من الداخل ❤👍
For daily comfortable Utes is Mitsubishi Triton ,
It's ridiculous that so many utes don't have central locking tailgates, wtf
Locking a tailgate hardly makes sense, when someone could just reach over to steal shit.
@@xkimopye I mean like the ranger and dmax have a locking rolling cover, so they're safe from theives
@@LifeOfTuners fair call for a dual cab with a hard cover.
Musso has!!
What a joke
where's the ldv t60 max luxe at?
In the bin
I wonder how this ranking will look like when I finally get my Wildtrak Ranger in June 2023
The same. Even if you only receive it in 5 years time.
Should have saved your money and got a Musso Ultimate XLV
@@bigchief2331 would you choose the musso over the gwm cannon x ?
@@alfitty absolutely! I would not touch a Chinese car
@@bigchief2331 fair enough thanks.
Musso wins this for me due to reliability. Whilst booking my musso in for its first service at the dealership they said they’ve never had one in for engine failure whilst their ford arm has two in at any one time with engine failures on the new v6.
How come some of these utes still do not have 4wd? I would never buy one without
Where is the Mighty Mahindra ? It ticks all the boxes and is extremely cheap. It is a great work vehicle as well as a great weekend vehicle and is very capable off road.The first mahindra i bought in 2012 and clocked up over 400000k's of reliable driving before selling it and buying a new one in 2021.In total the new build ( suspension, tyres , bullbar , towbar, canopy . lights, snorkel , and a few other extras ) cost me just over $ 42 000.
Might be a contender if you could get parts anywhere but the dealer I test drove one totally surprised how quiet and smooth it went I could not hear the engine I loved it plenty of character but the better half hated the looks and said NFW I'm riding in that.
We're is the Mahindra pick up?
The Ranger is no.1 in Aus, does this mean that in Aus owners of Ranger do not experience problems and hassles on the transmission of automatic variants? And the availability of parts?
Here in the Philippines, that is the most problems Ranger owners encounter.
PERFECT CAR MUSSO
When you guys do these reviews, why don’t you do a night driving test with headlights in low & high beam because a fellow worker brought a D-max great low beam but very poor high beam on country roads
Is there a reason why the Amarok wasn’t tested here?
Because the new one is just about to come out so it would be pointless putting the old one in. I’d expect it to be just as good as the ranger though
We will test the new one early next year www.drive.com.au/news/2023-volkswagen-amarok-specs-released-ahead-of-showroom-arrivals-next-year/
How are they calculating the resale value ???? The cannon is the best value for money in my opinion.
We've used resale data provided by industry source Redbook, which uses in-market transaction data to arrive at resale values. There's some wiggle room here, obviously, as each vehicle may differ when it comes to your actual trade-in, but this is considered a benchmark for industry info.
Why is it that when ever a Ranger is put in a review it’s only ever the “WildTrack”, $70 to $90K plus options, what about putting an entry level Ranger and see how that goes against the competition, Yea didn’t think so…😂😂😂
I will keep my F250 thanks guys...
Different class of vehicle. F250 = Super Duty. Ranger = Mid-Size.
I don’t own a Toyota Hilux but they must be reliable enough to live under ground at mine sites.
The Ranger absolutely shits on all of these. Its simply a battle for second and third spots.
Until the gearbox shits itself 😂. Peice of garbage with a heap of peoblems
Gents I had a Cannon x as a work Ute for over 16 months put on the market sold with in 4 days these Utes are in high demand in Australia still hold its value One of the best Utes money can buy. Now waiting for the 2023 model for a family car.
Did you like the canon?
So the winner is the most car like Ute ? So what is a Ute ?
A ute (short for utility) is what we call a vehicle here in Australia with an open section (tub) at the rear. So you can load and carry items in with easy open access. Hope this helps. Cheers 👍
41:45... 2.0 Liter 4 cyl Turbo Diesel??
With Twin Turbo
Let's face it, there ain't much noticeable differences between these Utes. And it isn't about "affording" the Ranger. No matter how you twist it, it just isn't worth $70k no matter how you twist it. In fact, even the new Ranger's 360 camera is lower resolution than my 2 year old Cannon's. Go drive both back to back and see if you can notice the difference that is worth $25k. Why pay more when you don't have to?
Can I ask where is the Ram ,Chev and the Jeep Gladiator, or are they in a different class?
Musso with seven year warranty (if they have any parts in Australia)
Why is there no mention of waiting lists on these reviews? 18months for a pick up is a joke, can get a Porsche through in
This is on road value for money, comparo
why is ford getting so much hate there is a reason they are the best dual cab, famliy ute in aus
I'd only buy a Ranger or Hilux regardless of what any review says.
It's a car not a football team
This is a relatively flawed review, considering the 4WD capability section wasnt tested anywhere near hard enough. If youre buying one of these utes, you would expect pretty decent 4WD capabilities, yet this is where the DMax/BT50 and the two cheapies fall down. Youd be much better off with the Ranger, Hilux, Navara or Triton. The powertrain on the Navara is below par, so that drops it off this list. Basically, you're left with three. You can choose budget and spend more on extras (Triton), midrange value with Hikux, or high-end features and capability with Ranger. Honestly, i think youd be pretty happy with any of those three (unoess youre towing, in which case probably scrub the Triton).
A big knob does make your life a lot easier :)
