Im going to play devils advocate here, ive had my 2023 t60 for 5 months now. Currently done 3500ks in it and havnt had a single issue. Ride is smooth, done a few long trips in it with zero issues as well.

People make comments without testing them.

My neighbour bought one. Goes good on the back of a tilt tray.

Done 175k km in mine and had zero issues

Sales have tanked because stock levels have returned to the more favorable manufacturers.

[@joshualeeman2855]

Thanks for sharing this info. Really appreciate the update.
I might be misinterpreting what you presented. Is there a new a Luxe+ coming with these new features, or updates across the existing trim levels too?
I had heard elsewhere that there's an update to the T60 across the board but this is the first mention of the plus.

[@drivingenthusiastaustralia]

As far as I know, it’s just this Luxe+ for now. The next gen ‘GST’ is coming next year as well.

[@dingus2218]

Thanks for the update! It's still a yeahnah from me

[@Versatiled]

Have had small issues with my 2023 t60 max luxe, love it to bits, awesome ute these improvements will make a huge difference as the nvh was a complaint, throttle response and stiffish rear end.
Dealer network being third party ateco management shit is terrible if they would fix that it would be awesome but so far i'd buy another one even with the small issues and wait times for fixing i had.

Looks like some nifty new gear, but difficult to choose over a Cannon, unless straight up power weighs heavily in the buying decision.

It has now gone official. Swaps name to 'Max Plus': drivingenthusiast.com.au/2024/05/2024-ldv-t60-max-plus-officially-announced-priced-from-45990/

[@Paradoxical124]

Looks nice but I would never buy one.

[@tonysambar]

Mate bought a LDV T60 a month ago. Leaking oil and when placed in 4x4 sounds like a cement mixer full of ball bearing being ripped apart by Godzilla.😬. Back in the dealer work shop.

[@drivingenthusiastaustralia]

Sounds like a joyous experience 🙃

[@bradleyhill8293]

The fuel line hasn't separated yet. Your mate is going well. Dealers hate LDV it's a warranty nightmare.

[@hi9580]

Even the chinese think it's rubbish compared to gwm.

[@mahcooharper9577]

Not addressing the sharp end of the problems... this will remain the ute of last resort I think.
