Extremely Harsh test on the GWM.Contradictive of what was said a few months ago in a video.. It's interior is first class for starters, and I don't understand how it had the worst rated running costs, when it has the same 7 year warranty as ssangyong, but even has capped servicing.. Almost feels like someone at Ford and or other big companies told you to talk up there severely overpriced utes, and trash the severely undervalued GWM's that they are shit scared of..
I'm just going to say what many of you probably also suspect: this isn't so much a comparison video as it is a ranking of utes by how much the manufacturers bribed, errr, sponsored the channel. For that reason, I would be sceptical of all opinions and reviews from this channel.
Extremely biased towards the Ranger, Mazda and Isuzu. Also, these reviews should consider reliability and holding market value in which case, the ranger and Mazda would be at the bottom of the list in any review.
I bet the bottle of Christmas scotch is now Jonny Walker Red label. The fact is they spread bullshit thinking everyone is as stupid as there target audience. Also let's not forget if I remember correctly that wheels car of they year was once the Leyland P76. Forget cup holders and important stuff like that, the trump card, the thing that really had me sold was that I could put a 44 gallon drum in the boot. Now you never know if that is useful or not, but heck could come in handy for some reason beyond my imagination. I saw a review recently where for a Mitsubishi Triton, the reviewer ( read WANKER here) pointed out the top of the dashboard was hard plastic and not soft. Well I didn't plan on making my head against it and frankly I've heard of tyre kickers when people look at cars, butt head butters?????? What a load of horseshit.
Just bought a Musso. With lift kit, tyres,canopy,racks and heaps more $11k of extras for $45k. Still cheaper than all these cars except the GWM. now the ride is awsome better clearance and carrying. It's the quietest ute I've driven.im happy it doesn't matter what test reviews say. I go to Fraser Island alot and the most towed cars I see are hiluxes rangers and navaras. Go figure. My neighbours hilux has been towed 3 times.
Weird how this video is all about the ford while a few months ago by the same guy, the cannon was a good car. 2ndly there was the comparison of the ranger 2.2 vs cannon, ranger had 2 airbags compared to the cannon with 7, the tech was way better than the ranger. Please be fair and do good tests next time and do test like 4WD 24-7 on UTE. They put on the same tyres, same everything while you guys are taking a car without a towbar. Lol
In 2023 I test drove all the four-wheel-drive Utes currently on the Australian market, the Musso comes out on top, is the quietest drive, has the most room and is the most comfortable, Bar None!!! not to mention the most affordable, looks like Korean cars are the one to beat, you know Hyundai, Kia and Ssangyong…
@@clearviz100 i have a ford ranger (American version) and while shopping around the toyota and the nissan were slightly better but not for the price. now from what i can see is that none of these are better among one another. having said that the honda ridgeline does have a very nice interior and ride but you loose quite a bit of capability.
Best selling Ute in Oz is the best selling Ute in Oz for a reason. I don’t think Ford need to pay for pissy puff pieces like this when the product outsells everything else by a country mile regardless.
@@SaltEarthandSun Ford sold 130 more 4x4 but the overall sales in 2020 with 4x2 combined went strongly to the Toyota Hilux 22,238 next to Ford of 18,472 .
The super select on the Triton is so overlooked. You can drive on sealed roads in 4x4 or all wheel drive technically. It's a great price and the GLS and GSR come with leather appointed heated seats.
They probably didn’t want to blow the competition out of the water and not let Ford be on top. Coming from a Ford owner the amarok on road beats all these dual cabs. Especially that v6.
Very nice video but I wish if you have given points for what are the cheapest trucks like giving them a lead because they are competing with trucks that are like 2 times the prices.
Can someone explain to me how the SsangYong get's 7th in the dry braking and 4th in the wet braking, yet it apparently did poorly in the braking test. WTF?
Why did the Musso rank LAST in performance which includes braking performance when it was fourth best in wet braking? And how is it that other testers have recorded sub 10 second 0-100 times with the Musso? (See Car Expert 9.92 seconds). I would have thought the woeful wet braking performance of the Ranger would have seen it relegated towards the bottom given it took seven metres longer to stop than the Musso? That's the difference between missing a pedestrian or killing them. I'm not sure this so-called ultimate torture test delved properly into all areas of what ute buyers want. What about fuel economy and everyday driving comfort and refinement. When I test drove the Ford I was expected to be blown away, but I was seriously underwhelmed by an overpriced and somewhat dated vehicle. But the Ranger just kept coming up trumps in this review. And where is the Amarok BTW? Maybe you guys need to go back to the drawing board when it comes to UA-cam. Looking at the number of subscribers (less than 28K!), the negative comments, and the thumbs down ratio it's clear something ain't quite working. I have purchased more copies of your magazine over the years than I care to remember, since I was 11 years old in fact. You used to be numero uno in cars in Oz, but now it seems like there is a sniff of arrogance based on who you think you are and who you were. I have an inkling the great Peter Robinson might be less than impressed.
The best dual cab ute is the one that spends the least time in the workshop, does the job and costs you the least to run. Check with long term owner reports rather than so called "experts"
Stop with the bullshit propaganda. Ford is just as reliable I had Ranger 4.0 V6 that went 360k miles. Most reliable vehicle I’ve ever owned. You guys are just a bunch of brand loyalist fangirls that are mad Ranger dusted whatever crappy brand you D ride.
On road it wins, offroad is looses, especially with the lack of low range. Front suspension geometry leaves a lot to be desired offroad. Vast majority of us buy these cars to use offroad, and with a lack of aftermarket support compared to others, makes it a difficult proposition. High price as well had high service costs also makes it a poor choice for most.
GWM wins on Value and Safety specs, Also offering 7 years warranty and 5 years roadside assistance... undercutting the market from 10-20k with its load out should be highly noted. Disappointing Review.
Sounds like they don't want anyone to give these 'Budget' Ute's a shot.. I think more and more people are starting to realise how overpriced the rest of the market is, charging almost double, just for a badge is ludicrous. This whole review is flawed, using top of the line Ford's against mid to low spec Ute's?? To be fair, I've got little experience with most top of the line Ute's listed in this review.. but anyone can see this is very biased, and an adjustment to the market must be made otherwise these 'Budget' Ute's that are about 80% ranger for 60% of the price will without a doubt dominate. looking forward to where we go from here.
Just goes to show what a pile of shite dual cabs have become - a long way away from the Japanese hilux that you still see driving around today in the 1000’s. Even today’s Thai made hilux is rubbish. Difficult to justify any of these ….. funny no Amarok !!! Last of the quality before they go down the same path with Ranger next year :(((
How is the triton one of the worst here, especially offroad, yet the guys from 4wd 24/7 rate the triton a top 3 offroad from the factory across almost all these same tests? And when it comes to proper 4wd testing, I will take their word over yours every day, considering their tests were done with a bunch of actual experts in the field
This is such a bias review. After watching them diss the lower priced models from the start stopped me watching all the way through. Of course the most expensive ones get higher ratings, but not everyone wants to spend 100k with accessories. Yeah, we get it, you hate the cheap Chinese cars but come on, why go to this trouble to review these cars to not show a balanced review for what each car brings to the segment they are aiming for. Like so many others here, terrible review.
I personally have a Musso, the plastic is definitely not cheap, but I love how they change the word from cheap to practical when it suits 😂 also I have towed a 3.2 ton load and as long as you put it in power mode it motors along nicely at 110km with no sway or chugging. I also have a few acres on quite steep slopes it has absolutely no troubles climbing the hills even in the mud. I call bullshit on your review and I’d have to say this video is completely biased!
You cannot have a level playing field when all the utes are running tyres from highway to mud terrain. Best advice, buy what you like because there's no useful advice for anyone in this comparison. 4WD 24/7 (IMHO) have done the best and fairest ute comparisons, last two years running.
Yeah, I have a Ranger with 157K on the clock and the company I work for have hundreds. They aren’t all these guys crack them up to be. Long term reliability is not something they measure. I also have two NP 300 Navaras with a combined 300K of use. I’d buy a Navara before a Ranger any day.
My trust my favorite is Mitsubishi Triton because Mitsubishi very good in handling, cross country highway long distance heavy duty, the Dakar rally champion
I’ve got a amarok 2017. They replaced the starter motor in warranty, after they failed to diagnose it several times, and had road assist called several times, and went back to vw on a flat bed truck. Ongoing DPF issues. Now out of warranty and I’ve got coolant leaks going on. DPF problems the worst of it. Buyer beware!!
@@MrGregorburnett My story is identical except I smelled the coolant leak from new. Now it’s out of warranty VW want $$$ to fix it. Google says its a common problem. Forums suggest there should be a recall. VW ignores the problems until media or government get involved. This is my last VW. Worst product support. No confidence in their products. A real lemon!
Guys, maybe you should include two more aspect to your analisys: - the crash test stars by authority - the quality of he ensambling and material resultante to rough use (this maybe needs some braking things Burger....
wow those rangers are awesome and to think there 10 years old and still head and shoulders above the new ones One can only think of how good the news ones are cumming out later this year or next year when ever there getting released cant wait
I know you guys claim you go into this without any bias but after watching the comments about GWM cannon I am not that sure that you arent bias against the Chinese utes even if you dont realize it, I have owned the cannon since May 2021 I have had it on road and off road and I tow my camper trailer pretty much every few weeks and I have to say I pretty much disagree with almost everything your guys have said. Towing I just turn off lane assist put it into sport and she tows beautifully . Off road she hasnt missed a beat especially on the beach where she spends most her off road life and in my view fantastic look in the cab and rides like a car on the road smoother than any of the utes I have driven previously and I only own the base model so not sure what you guys were driving but it certainly wasnt what I drive you must have got lemon , If I was going to have a whine at all it would be four things no back interior light in the cab a lag in the turbo and the accelerator is not smooth and the on going self clean which in themselves are ok but if they dont do a proper clean you have to do a manual clean which is 20 minutes and usually come up at the most inconvenient moments like going to work making you late as you cant drive while a manual burn is taking place. I have had to do it twice but all in all I have no real complaints about performance mine costed 35000 on the road and I have no regrets what so ever it does everything I need it to do and more
I have installed 30mm wheel spacers after a 2 inch suspension lift on Prado. The wheels are still stock. I have 3 options. Should I get -12 offset and remove spacers? Or Keep spacers with stock wheels Or Get -12 offset and let the wheel spacers be there..
If you are tight in the budget you can get: MITSUBISHI TRITON (For reliability) GWM CANNON (if you want premium add-ons included) if you can spare some money get: Toyota Rugged X (Reliability and cheap parts) Toyota SR5 (should i say more?) Ford Ranger Raptor (my dream ute 🤣) Mazda BT-50 Thunder (cheap dressed up) this is based on my preference. 😁
I'm surprised that use brits got the mitsubishi L200 svp. What is a limited edition pick up with uprated suspension, tyres and a custom leather interior and custom body panels. But I don't know if you aussies did not get anything like this to what I know of. Please correct me if I am wrong
I agree!! Before July 2022. I seen a few. Now... 2023. New stock. They everywhere. Looked funny at the beginning but from overall prospective. They alright. Big and bold. I was going to buy one, i went for Musso instead. Not everybody going to spend $60+ with a loan repayment over 5 years. $40k with 10k accessories.
So, to clarify, the most expensive ute won? Who would have though it. :P Add a comparison of price please - ranger low end costs more than triton top end.
@@markmckay1568 Yeah, but those are custom jobs (raptor for pomp, the rubicon like a Jimny off-road toy). I'm just saying it's dumb to compare high/low models and not factor price. E.g., the ranger is bigger and stronger than a navara, but the navara also costs like 10K less.
You can ask 10 people's opinion, and get 12 different answers. Bottom line. Ranger has more techno recalls than anything else here. My first advice is take GWM for a spin before you buy ANY of these. Then try to explain why you need to pay and extra 20K. This is why they ran budget interiors seperate
Riding comfort vs durability and total satisfaction for low cost maintenance and availability of spare parts almost everywhere. That is lead by Toyota hilux followed by Isuzu dmax and Nissan navarra.
Agree on the hilux and dmax, but my nephew who is a mechanic, said they have so many navaras in with engine issues. Said he'd never touch one. The hilux and dmax were the two he did mention as being very reliable.
I purchased an XLT a couple of years ago and after driving most of the other brands the Ranger was the best all rounder and had the best standard options and safety gear !
@@pablorages1241 yep agree Toyota is not what it used to be I guess we will only see in time how good this new ranger will be or we could see the same thing happen with more problems with the advancement
Asset write off subsidy has made these utes too expensive for private buyers and Hilux tops commercial sales and is #1 seller due to this however great to see Wheels recognise how popular these are as lifestyle vehicles - I’d take the Jeep just coz 👍
Funny how after driving all except for the Gladiator, because who wants a ute with only 600kg payload) I ended up with a Musso XLV leaf and have no regrets...
@@skitzy2726 hahaha. The Korean rhino has been on Double island point too many times in the last two years. No rust mate. That is an exclusive feature of ldv and gwm. Have fun with your Thai made ute or worse still Chinese. Have a read about the SsangYong cheap metal doesn't even fit in the same sentence.
@@skitzy2726 Japan made. 🤣🤣🤣🤣 Good one bud. No ute for sale in Australia is made in Japan. Not even Hilux or Navara. Unless we are talking about the ute in which Ned Kelly rode
I dont pull that much with a trailer but I put loads on my bed. I prefer riding comfort with my beloved family so I think Navara does the job for me. I really do hope Nissan did much better dashboard but thats not something that could make me not buy one.
As they said you get what you pay for, so Isuzu and Mazda next time you give wheels your cars to review make sure you pay them correctly so you get the better review just like the ford and GWM got.

good video , but what happened to the LDV ?? i drive one now for work and would have been keen to see what the LDV compared .
I’m guessing the Amarok didn’t make it to the track due to a failed starter motor or coolant leak?
I’ve got a amarok 2017. They replaced the starter motor in warranty, after they failed to diagnose it several times, and had road assist called several times, and went back to vw on a flat bed truck.
Ongoing DPF issues.
Now out of warranty and I’ve got coolant leaks going on.
DPF problems the worst of it.
Buyer beware!!
@@MrGregorburnett My story is identical except I smelled the coolant leak from new. Now it’s out of warranty VW want $$$ to fix it. Google says its a common problem. Forums suggest there should be a recall. VW ignores the problems until media or government get involved. This is my last VW. Worst product support. No confidence in their products. A real lemon!
How much did the big bigs payed you?
looks like a lot
Just asking. Why is the Amakrok excluded?
Because it wasn’t a Ford Ranger, 😂😂😂…
Rangers have q better driving feel than Amaroks?
10 times better!
@@puidldoc4913 you sound like you never sat in a V6 amarok.
Guys, maybe you should include two more aspect to your analisys:
- the crash test stars by authority
- the quality of he ensambling and material resultante to rough use (this maybe needs some braking things Burger....
“I expected more from the cannon by GWN” “U got what u paid for”
不用太放在心上，国外网友也不是傻子。都在骂收了Ford的钱！
wow those rangers are awesome and to think there 10 years old and still head and shoulders above the new ones One can only think of how good the news ones are cumming out later this year or next year when ever there getting released cant wait
Why no Amarok?
Hahah cause that would be unfair.
Wheel：GWM coming to pay some money. otherwise you gonna comparing with Mercedes next time.
Where is the AMAROK? This is all bullshit without the AMAROK!
Yeah it would have probably topped the list if it were on it
Yep. Not interested in this now. Cannot believe they left the Rok off.
I know you guys claim you go into this without any bias but after watching the comments about GWM cannon I am not that sure that you arent bias against the Chinese utes even if you dont realize it, I have owned the cannon since May 2021 I have had it on road and off road and I tow my camper trailer pretty much every few weeks and I have to say I pretty much disagree with almost everything your guys have said. Towing I just turn off lane assist put it into sport and she tows beautifully . Off road she hasnt missed a beat especially on the beach where she spends most her off road life and in my view fantastic look in the cab and rides like a car on the road smoother than any of the utes I have driven previously and I only own the base model so not sure what you guys were driving but it certainly wasnt what I drive you must have got lemon , If I was going to have a whine at all it would be four things no back interior light in the cab a lag in the turbo and the accelerator is not smooth and the on going self clean which in themselves are ok but if they dont do a proper clean you have to do a manual clean which is 20 minutes and usually come up at the most inconvenient moments like going to work making you late as you cant drive while a manual burn is taking place. I have had to do it twice but all in all I have no real complaints about performance mine costed 35000 on the road and I have no regrets what so ever it does everything I need it to do and more
Love love love the Ford Ranger
Where's the VW Amarok?! From what I see on the road, these seem to be pretty close to the Hilux for top sellers??
I have installed 30mm wheel spacers after a 2 inch suspension lift on Prado.
The wheels are still stock.
I have 3 options.
Should I get -12 offset and remove spacers?
Or
Keep spacers with stock wheels
Or
Get -12 offset and let the wheel spacers be there..
Cannon is a fantastic ute with great potential they didn't even engage expert mode😂 and still climbed the hill.
It still lacks a decent dealer network. Something they don't mention much. But after sale customers service counts.
@@wickedleeloopy2115 the Rivian the e pickup from usa is olso grat but same problems. No dealers no idea how long it will last
totally agree mine is a beast on the beach and town my camper
If you are tight in the budget you can get:
MITSUBISHI TRITON (For reliability)
GWM CANNON (if you want premium add-ons included)
if you can spare some money get:
Toyota Rugged X (Reliability and cheap parts)
Toyota SR5 (should i say more?)
Ford Ranger Raptor (my dream ute 🤣)
Mazda BT-50 Thunder (cheap dressed up)
this is based on my preference. 😁
I'm surprised that use brits got the mitsubishi L200 svp. What is a limited edition pick up with uprated suspension, tyres and a custom leather interior and custom body panels. But I don't know if you aussies did not get anything like this to what I know of. Please correct me if I am wrong
"Who has a handbrake anymore"...Every model in this video shown with handbrake.
Trucks need handbrake .... These people will complain with handbrakes on sportcars
The cannon will be in the top 5 selling its in Australia soon.
I agree!! Before July 2022. I seen a few. Now... 2023. New stock. They everywhere. Looked funny at the beginning but from overall prospective. They alright. Big and bold. I was going to buy one, i went for Musso instead. Not everybody going to spend $60+ with a loan repayment over 5 years. $40k with 10k accessories.
So, to clarify, the most expensive ute won? Who would have though it. :P Add a comparison of price please - ranger low end costs more than triton top end.
I thought the Ranger Raptor was the most expensive, followed by the Rubicon
@@markmckay1568 Yeah, but those are custom jobs (raptor for pomp, the rubicon like a Jimny off-road toy). I'm just saying it's dumb to compare high/low models and not factor price. E.g., the ranger is bigger and stronger than a navara, but the navara also costs like 10K less.
You can ask 10 people's opinion, and get 12 different answers. Bottom line. Ranger has more techno recalls than anything else here. My first advice is take GWM for a spin before you buy ANY of these. Then try to explain why you need to pay and extra 20K. This is why they ran budget interiors seperate
Ranger also won the towing but it’s a horrible tow with 10 speed it’s constantly changing gears
Riding comfort vs durability and total satisfaction for low cost maintenance and availability of spare parts almost everywhere. That is lead by Toyota hilux followed by Isuzu dmax and Nissan navarra.
Agree on the hilux and dmax, but my nephew who is a mechanic, said they have so many navaras in with engine issues. Said he'd never touch one. The hilux and dmax were the two he did mention as being very reliable.
When are you going to try petrol against diesel at towing in performance and fuel consumption when towing.
What about the dual cab land rover defender
Or the ram.
A ancap rating or similar test or rating on the vehicles overall safety would be a good inclusion.
Why no LDV T60 ute here as out sold GWM and Jeep . 🤔
Next year. A new benchmark in ute market begins. #nextgenranger
I'll go with the bullet proof Isuzu 3 litre over the Ford 2 litre Bi Turbo. It'll last longer.
the 3.2 is a pretty well tested reliable unit though
Why didn't you incl Mahindra Pik Up in the budget category?? Surprising
They recommend a Ford as the winner. Whats surprising anymore?😂
Is tata xenon out from Australia
Hey, man, I don't know why you are full of prejudice against GWM, but I still choose to buy GWM.
I cringe everytime I hear international reporters refer to something as “very unique”. Unique should be enough.
I am really keen to know how the Mahindra Black Hawk fares in these tests, heard some great reviews from friends
I think it's a different kind of car, more rugged and ready - non compromising. I've heard someone describe it as a budget 70 series...
@@MrSchulta thanks mate !
However would've been nice to get some in depth reviews. I am seriously seeking to learn more
So the triton here has the 4d56 engine, not the mivec-equipped 2.4 4n15?
4n15 mate
@@anthonyramdin1037 im not sure, but i think he said it was a 2.5, not 2.4.
I was hoping for the LDV T60 to be on here
I stopped watching when I realized there was no Amarok.
I agree👍🍻
What happened to the vw amarok????
I purchased an XLT a couple of years ago and after driving most of the other brands the Ranger was the best all rounder and had the best standard options and safety gear !
Definitely was years ago for power torque and speed if you could get it out of the mechanics but now it’s outdated
@@samwood225 blows the toyota away for price, room, power, comfort and safety features ... and the new model will be class leader for power
@@pablorages1241 yep agree Toyota is not what it used to be I guess we will only see in time how good this new ranger will be or we could see the same thing happen with more problems with the advancement
No LDV - particularly megatub - which is think is the best of the entry level dualcabs
didn't see nissan in the film, how did you grade it at all??
Leave the 500kg in the tray while you do the off road test !!
Is that the track owned by vinfast..?
People complain about the Hilux interior. I think it’s actually the most stylish of the utes.
20 years ago who would have thought ' Wheels ' has become 'Truck Monthly '.
Ute Monthly not the US
@@robertryan7204 I loved the tests of the Aussie Ute's, these ones are so different. Over 3 years and its still hard to accept no Australian cars.
@@mvnorsel6354 that is unfortunately how we have become
@@bens6674 I understand your lack of interest since Australian cars ceased production. I still subscribe but its just not the same.
Where is the Amarok V6?????
Asset write off subsidy has made these utes too expensive for private buyers and Hilux tops commercial sales and is #1 seller due to this however great to see Wheels recognise how popular these are as lifestyle vehicles - I’d take the Jeep just coz 👍
Same here if it was diesel.
They state that it’s to find the best dual cab Ute but don’t have one of the best utes the Amarok. Load of BS
They have stopped making the amarok.... Hate to dissapiont you.
I reckon that VW didn’t want their truck anywhere near these muppets as probably a couple of other brands
You guys should've got the top spec GWM. Its still alot cheaper than the rest of the field
and still a heap of junk
pity reliability isn't taken into account, rangers dropping gears and blown engines would win in the unreliability category
Why the obsession with acceleration? These vehicles are not about performance but reliability while working hard
In my country, with the price of the Jeep Gladiator you can buy 2 Ranger Raptor. But in Aus they're almost at the same price.
Ram?
Funny how after driving all except for the Gladiator, because who wants a ute with only 600kg payload) I ended up with a Musso XLV leaf and have no regrets...
u will when it cheap metal starts rusting from as little as condesation lol
@@skitzy2726 hahaha. The Korean rhino has been on Double island point too many times in the last two years. No rust mate. That is an exclusive feature of ldv and gwm. Have fun with your Thai made ute or worse still Chinese.
Have a read about the SsangYong cheap metal doesn't even fit in the same sentence.
@@munecito my utes japan made bud , good effort tho
@@skitzy2726 Japan made. 🤣🤣🤣🤣 Good one bud. No ute for sale in Australia is made in Japan. Not even Hilux or Navara. Unless we are talking about the ute in which Ned Kelly rode
@@munecito i got a datsun 720 with the original motor lol
Just as well they tested these utes from 0-100. Such real world application🤦♂️
How about they do comparisons on base model utes, not top of the range when the average person can’t afford them at the ridiculous prices.
I dont pull that much with a trailer but I put loads on my bed. I prefer riding comfort with my beloved family so I think Navara does the job for me. I really do hope Nissan did much better dashboard but thats not something that could make me not buy one.
terrible comparison guys, lift your game, get some 4x4 pro's involved.
Y al final cuál es la mejor..?
As they said you get what you pay for, so Isuzu and Mazda next time you give wheels your cars to review make sure you pay them correctly so you get the better review just like the ford and GWM got.
