We brought the Cannon X after having a Ranger. 8mths later still can’t believe the value for money and no problems at all 😊
that's good to hear, seriously looking into getting a GWM
Not wrong👍🏽💪🏼
Really considering it just not too sure about how much filling up I’ll be doing or if the servicing will be expensive
@@isaactone7045services are capped price, I think is around $250 for the first few years. 😊
Always have to remind myself when watching/reading a review by someone who does it for a living, and that is, there is a big difference between testing a vehicle and ownership of a vehicle.
And what is your point?
@@LP-ct6xe Simply put, just for you, "testing" a vehicle supplied by a dealer for a few days is one thing, "ownership" is after buying a vehicle and living with it for perhaps 5 years, that can be a very different experience.
Yeah, this video clearly shows the difference between driving it for a few days and owning it for 20 years. The guy speaking in the video is a tech enthusiast and ranks anything with a lot of tech high points. If the only thing one cares about is a car that drives nice for 2 years, great, get the Ford Ranger.
But if you want a vehicle that will last 30 years, get the Hilux. The older the platform, the more reliable.
Putting the Ranger in S tier despite clear track record of defects, breakdowns, and expensive repairs, just destroyed any credibility this dude had, if he had any.
Heard the Great Wall Ute front seat on long journeys (1 hour plus driving) really affects your legs due to no seat tilting? Is this true? I know it's true with the Havals.
First person to actually give the gwm cannon a good rating hands down if you don't agree your just biased! Went from a 2019 sr5 hilux to the gwm cannon x and towing was a downgraded but eveything else is just so much better! Will definitely be a brand that will be up there in price in a few more years just like Kia and Hyundai did went from everyone hating them to everyone buying one
Still a risk. Chinese makers are dumping stock at cost price as they struggle to sell in China as the economy is downgturning. While the manufacturers are claiming normal sale numbers, the insurance registrations are about half of that number, which indicates many are owned by the banks and not truly sold. If the parent company gets in trouble good luck with support.
i agree. chinese cars are pos
@@bazza2540 Fact is that chinese makers are selling well in domestic market, but put their old old model to australian market. MG3 is a out dated model in China which is off market from 2019 but still a good selling car in Australia. The only problem needed to be concern is the dealer of chinese makers broke because of financial issues, such as bad cash flow management especially in this high cash rate situation. The makers from China are so rich, SAIC, Cheery and GWM. It seems like they will not abandon Australian market easily without come out their brand new models, have already sold in China for several years.
@@bazza2540 HAHAHA, Who told you that???? If you have no idea of Chinese market and manufacturers, maybe just ask some your Chinese friends, you may see some news from google or facebook, but trust me, most of those are not true, in fact, more and more Chinese, from Jap and germany car turn to Chinese car, and this by reasons, also, when Chinese start to buy Chinese car, that means its good, because we know more than all of you guys about how terrible on old Chinese car.😀
Absolute trash
Are you going to review the Ranger Platinum
Really enjoyed this review. It would have been even better if you could have included comments on warranty / parts availability etc as I have heard (unsubstantiated) that owners of big US utes and some of lower budget utes don't have a good network despite have extended warranty
What year ford ranger I have 35 k or should I go for a ldv t60? Would love to hear what you think
GWM
I just got the wildtrak V6 in may. Its so far ahead of the dmax, hilux and everything else its not funny. The amarok wasnt around yet but its a bit more expensive for less kit so i ruled that out. The hilux is a bit of a joke, so expensive and you get literally an 8 year old car.
Only truly considered the dmax because its great value.
Congrats on the Wildtrak!!
Same here love my v6 pp wildtrak, smooth as now putting out 225kw and 700 + Nm of torque.
Its a Ford mate
Report back in 20 years and let's see if it's still running.
I’m curious what herbs you smoked before the video
Do a vid on the musso
No Ssanyong musso?
Would love to see the Mahindra Pickup in analysis like this. In standard guise they are pretty dull but here in SA they get sold with a ton of aftermarket kit like uprated suspension, aggressive AT tires, bull bars, roof racks etc. Still more affordable than a base model 2.4 Hilux or bottom of the range Ranger 4x4. Its a real option for the budget minded buyer, not just a laughable tractor based bakkie 😂
Where do get a 79 series for $74k ?
I see no mention about the Musso in the comments, driven or owned just about everything else, at this point in time FOR MANY REASONS i choose the Musso, YOU MUST DRIVE ONE, and thank me later.
Personally I wouldn't care about Power or cornering ability when it comes to utes.
My main concerns in a ute would be for work so Durability, Reliability, Towing Capacity, Common issues, Costs of services, maintenance and Fuel efficiency. Not so much interior design and technology as most the newer utes all look good and have nice interior.
Also, maybe even offroad capability comparison would be nice.
Would have loved to see the Mahindra in here!
Oh man, you never went into reliability if these vehicles. Would be much appreciated if you did a separate video on that as well as shared the things that can possibly go wrong in each one 😊
They never look at longtime reliability and durability. That's why auto journalists are hot air comments
@@ajl9491 indeed. Guess I'll stick with toyota or Mitsubishi for my next truck
Triton is a good bet @@milesdavis8665
The izuzu will outlive both the utes you just mentioned and i have Toyota's myself.
In the mines the izuzus are proving tougher and more reliable than your choice but it's a three way split between Izuzu toyota and Mitsubishi in the nw.
Izuzu utes have truck components in them from Izuzu trucks good for a million kilometers.
James.
what happend to musso?!
IS it true the Triton ute has stop/start tech, as stated in RACV article ,this would be a deal breaker for me. CHEERS PETER.
Which one will you buy ?
Good analysis. But you do know it will upset the Toyophosi 😊.
Should do an upgraded one with ldv utes because they are good and the mehidra utes
Sorry Mat, but I can’t agree with your Dmax rating . I owned an LS-U for two years and it drove me nuts. I now have a Ranger Sport and love it. Other than the brake pedal feel, it’s awesome👍. We have 3 in our fleet and none of them suffer from the screen glitching you mentioned.
I agree. I to have a Ranger Sport V6 & it is awesome. I’ve also ordered a V6 XLT for Jan 2024 👍
he just did it to be controversial. clicks are shrinking
No Brumby?
Can you review the Nissan Navarra please😊
I test drove every dual cab ute, the nissan is shocking my wife said is this supposed to sound like this ,while accelerating ,sounded so noisy and stressed and not going anywhere real fast.
Agree
YOUR BIGGEST KENYAN FAN RIGHT HERE, 11/07/2023
shut up
b for navara, the other two should both get a C each.
Ford Everest vs Scorpio n
Comparison
cannon should be built in Aus under Holden brand.
off topic, I just noticed the stain on his shirt
UGH I HATE IT
Fugg, your a pain in the ass!… now I can’t unsee it!😜
I thought its some luxury brand logo
That's sauce stain from carsauce, I guess! 😂
😂😂😂
Lc79 is just pure fun to drive
Where is the Navara?
Really fair judgement, the only one I disagree with although they were valid points, is the raptor, as it not designed as a work ute and with the price the extras (especially the suspension set up and the engine and front diff lock) it more than pays for itself as it would cost you way more to do those mods yourself
yeah why criticise it for what it's not. Like saying hilux sucks because it can't do 0-100 in 5 seconds
Yea but the hilux kinda does suck, Toyota could do so much better but choose to just rely on their reputation instead of improving what was a good Ute in its day
It's a real shame you didn't have a Jeep Gladiator Rubicon in there, they go where the others never will.
The best ute for me is the 1st-gen Amarok.
I'd trade in my Amarok 4 banger if GWM has a V6 engine
I love reading the comments on these videos… I can literally visualise the seizure hilux owners are having while typing 🤣
Well at the end of the day when all the other utes have broken down the hilux wil remain
Matt of course you are..
Perfect❤🎉
What in the world is an Ute??
The only two i would ever buy here would be the luxxy or the cruiser
Not a good comparison I’ve owned a few utes & drove a lot you should compare the utes that can tow 3.5 ton & have @ least 500Nm of torque under that is very underpowered especially as a lot of Ute owners tow
You're assessments are basically for people who will be using these utes for daily grocery runs...😂😂
Matt’s done some fair reviews in the past, I don’t feel this assessment is balanced. Could almost smell sponsorship…
Where’s the jumbuck? Best value in Aussie history.
A friend just bought a Jeep Gladiator Rubicon - it's actually pretty impressive. I think it might do pretty well against some of these utes. ps. You're also missing the Dodge Ram 1500
You forgot the most important player! Mahindra Pickup!
For we mere idiots, I thought Holden Ute was the only Ute.
So what the is a Ute in definition?
Mazda BT50 should be A -Tier
puts 79 in C....poor. Still a good video boet
Its a C from factory.
Navarra is D tier. So bad it killed its own sister.
Personaly.. the less high tech a ute is the better it is for use in harsh cinditions . Thats why a cruiser an or hilux is a lot of peoples first pick. They just last forever
Mitsubishi is the best highest futuristic features technology, Ford ranger second best, Volkswagen amarok,
Mate you are on some serious drugs buddy. You put the the GEM above the hilux and triton. I think you need to review hatch backs as your knowledge on 4x4 Ute's ain't that great. Much love
Totally agree with you here...
That’s pretty low class saying somebody is on drugs, just because you don’t agree with his opinion.
Most city dwellers have no real need for a ute
I hate that my man’s keep calling the Amarok based off the ranger.
It is HELLO
Japanese cars have top class resale value and reliability so just liitle more features in other cars which is not reliable is not my choice
Wow... A lot of butt hurt people out there over one man's opinion...
Pretty beet there what the hell does that mean
It's his accent. He's actually saying 'pretty B Tier'
ford ranger LMFAO that thing is hot S**t
These are pick up trucks not utes
Wow, Matt, you must know more than the tens of thousands of Aussies who keep buying the Hilux. And for all of those thousands who keep buying the 70 series, what are they thinking? Surely they should all be buying the V6 ranger...the tech doesn't work but never let that sort of unreliability get in the way of an S rating. Seriously, mate...
Wait until you find out that fleet sales pump up the HiLux lol
79 series are reliable and customisable, that’s about it. Poor stock power, very, very outdated interior, uncomfortable, not great off road due to lack of flex and getting hung up on the leaf springs, and expensive for what they are
I had a PJ Ranger for 14 years. Super reliable, only spent money on tyres and batteries. Now I drive the new Ranger 😃
@@declanlittle6019Your right… but the majority of LC owners are buying them for the wrong reason (cache). They weren’t designed for comfort, heavy off roading, smashing km’s on bitumen, being tuned etc. They were designed to be unfazed in harsh climates, rugged environments and pulling heavy loads at moderate speeds.
The LC’s design and engine is as much as the people it was designed for, and it’s longevity is as much as those who respect it for what it was designed to do.
@@gv9528 lucky you. I had a lemon flavoured Everest. Never again.
This has been another Ford Pump Up production. On this channel if its a toyota its dog water. Everything else is great!
Blud hates toyota
79 is the bast
lol reliability? no way id take most of these bush.
S tier on the cannon for the interior? Wtf are you on? It feels premium but has to be the cheapest interior I've felt hands-on with cheap plastic etc etc. Work on these every day and the build quality is laughable and GWMs QC is the biggest joke.
Maybe in lower grades, but the X was awesome - the full review will explain more though!
Dreaming I test drove every dual cab Ute on the market and the cannon x was one of the nicest on the inside soft touch everywhere mate 😂
@@dylancoleman124 working in a dealership, the amount of shit we deal with straight from the factory is a joke. Had a Cannon X 2 weeks ago with the B pillar trim punched through the seatbelt rendering the seat belt inop. Constant cross threaded bolts on everything, had a cross threaded steering column during the recall to make Cannons 5 star ancap. They're crap
I agree with the gypsy, the quality is s for shit
@@CarSaucesouth African review said it's best first💪🏼
Ranger, the end
Haha, more to the story!
@@CarSauceok I’ll watch further
if you own a ranger you 1000% tailgate every other person on the road and drive like an asshole. This use to be exclusive to Audi drivers, but now its mainly Rangers!
@@Vikturus22yeah maybe because you’re in the right hand lane doing 90 in a 100 and speed up when you get to the overtaking lanes 😬
@@chrisz8532 lol aint me. I be in the left lane with a 60kph sign and they scream past me at 100+ because those tradies clearly need to be somewhere ( thats what they think they are. But in reality they are just soccer mums who couldn't afford a range rover lol )
Crap review
GWM cannon is a Chinese pickup and You give rating based on one day use. I am not agree with your rating.
You're biased... How long have you driven one for? I don't agree with your comment.
@@jayjay3294especially it's so high up in ranking
Hilux is over rated and the cabin is small and tight.
CauseToyota usually upgrade only the skin for last 20 yrs?
