- A few weeks ago I bought this pick-up truck and I haven't had a single phone call on it. Let's work out why...

![2023 SsangYong Musso - The BEST Truck You've NEVER Heard Of! [Review] [4K]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/WTcwCI15lDo/mqdefault.jpg)
I love this guys channel and please mark my words.... he will definitely go onto big things ... possible next JC ?? he deserves more than TH-cam
I think so too. He needs a bigger pond. :)
Boris isn't doing very well.............
@@lukespack
I don’t know what you expected. Me? Nothing. Vote liblabcon, get commies.
Don’t do it.
I agree he is very good at this, he will definitely go places
Thanks! Very kind of you
Advertise it in London, it is "the car that will never get stolen"...
The best reverse psychology sales pitch I have ever heard. That Sir was a masterclass!
It'll be sold by the end of the week!
Already got me looking on 'Car Gurus'!
loving the variety of cars reviewed
Thanks!
"Somebody buy it, for Christ's sake" floored me😂 As a used car dealer myself, I know the feeling😂
🤣🤣 that final comment made my day
Perfect car for a 17 year old, their parents won't be able to tell if they've crashed it or not
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
This comment made me smile.
Of course they will. No 17yr old would ever go out in that so they couldn't have crashed it.
You say that, but for £5k a year insurance then...nah.
@@robholloway6829 2k on the quote i just ran. might actually buy this.
Great for towing a caravan. It’s very cheap and it will probably never break down.
All good points
Yeah I totally agree with that
And putting the dogs in the back !
That was my first thought towing my caravan. With the price it's an easy sell to caravan club folk who don't really care about what they drive as long as they get from A to B. It's probably more reliable than some of the poser brands........
You're right - it ain't pretty. But then, everything is relative. Just park it next to a Nissan Duke, and it won't look so bad.
Quite right
So ugly the log book is in brail 👍😂👍
@@SuperWayneyb 😆😆😆😆😆
fuck to true
Omg,... I think that would be an insult to the Juke.
Funny, honest, witty and yet, informative. 4 reasons why I watch and enjoy your reviews. Keep doing it!
Thanks!
We had a SSANGYONG Rexton .. this is a fact the engine did 300,000 miles fact, apart from servicing was super reliable.
more should buy great value 4x4
Many years back, my brother bought a s/h Korrando of the 2nd generation, that were made between 1996 - 2006. At the time, he only bought it because it was cheap and low mileage. Turned out it was great, as I recall. Mercedes engine, and the firm, quite upright seats wre great for his back problems..., ie the back problems disappeared.
I genuinely laughed out loud at that clock. Cheers for that.
Me too. Hahha, and it's almost new car.
Ssang Yong can lay claim to decimating car theft. Once you own it you can happily cancel your theft insurance and sleep easy at night, NOBODY STEALS THEM
Theft insurance isn’t a thing in the UK, you either are insured or your not which will lead to you having your car taken away! Probably a good thing if you own a Ssang Yong.
@@rodneyemmerich8828 yes I know it’s joke! I’m not a smart arse I thought you might be a yank or something who doesn’t know how it works in the UK.
Actually, in Korea, no one steals them...they prefer Kia’s...😳
@@stun9771 the lesser of two evils 🤣
@@rodneyemmerich8828 You were OK until you said "Smartass"
Bye. (p.s.What you got under the pillow?)
Look on the bright side mate, once you've sold it you can treat yourself to some new jeans!!
If theres any profit left
I'll have it for £30 😆
Good luck with the sale, you deserve to sell it, you’re so honest
Honesty is ALWAYS the best policy.
Otherwise, you could end up as the President of the United States of America.
Let's be careful. Very Careful out there.
Thank you so much 😊
Best looking pickup on the market. Well equipped, loads of space, great suspension, it's a no brainer. I had one for 4 years, now have a hilux, scared of hilux getting scratched, never worried about my sy.
That clock is literally unbelievable. I actually laughed out loud when I saw it
Love it. Such a scathing review. Please someone buy it and put Matt out of his misery
I have had a Korando SUV in Aus for 10 years. Love it and it's still going strong.
No love heart for you I'm afraid
As Ross Bourne says below this has to be the most honest car review ever!
They're reasonably well known in Ireland. Niche but not overly rare. Especially the SUV's
Yeah well.
Cheap.
No-one can fix them.
No-one wants to.
End of story.
Guess the containers of scrap to China for recycling are full.
Glad to know Eire is doing its bit.
Cheers.
Dedicated Parts are hard to come by..usually need to be imply so front wheel hub 120+vat 2mths waiting..😕 but yes they are cheap and reliable..
@@patagualianmostly7437 It's Ireland mate. Only wankers call it Eire.
"Somebody buy it for Christs sake" - that was epic! 🤣
You should get the newer Musso, they have updated the clock, 10/10
I do love the hilux but for twice the price its a no brainer for company use, surprised i don't see more on the road.
Love that you did this review without cleaning the bird poo off the driver's window. Probably improved the car's appearance.
I’ve heard of it, but tried to forget.
I've heard of it and I actualy like them. Maybe coz I live in Switzerland, where the Brand is better known.
I reckon i'd even choose one over the Toyota and Nissan equivalents if I was in the markrt for such a vehicle..
Great vid, even Ugley cars need reviews I'm sure a buyer will come by. I suggest you park it out side Specsavers with a forsale sign on it.
Good to see you review a high end 4×4. Could you do a head to head with the Dacia Duster soon.
I live in Newark Notts as i have mentioned before, we have two owners here that i see on a regular basis,We have approx 30000 people living here , enough said, But good luck with that one, excellent video cheers again.
Thanks for the info
You could do a black friday deal on it ! 😂
Whoever designed that had a white stick and a labrador. Brutal. 🤣🤣🤣
we have 2 ssang yong musso with the mercedes diesel engine we drive them for 50000 km a year a piece now we have never any problems
No love heart for you as gimpy didn't appreciate some truth
'Front looks a little like a Volvo and the rear looks something Mel Gibson would've driven in a Mad Max film.
I quite like it, double cab for the lads, tools and bits in the back. Wife can do her supermarket sweep and taxi the in-laws around. It's a car, it's an SUV, it's a truck, it's a people carrier, it's cheap as chips. It's a real head turner. Where can I buy one?
His Dealership
I saw quite a few of these growing up. In South Africa they were popular amongst men who “knew better than everyone one else” 🙄 - such as middle income class engineers or managers.
Thanks Matt, best review yet, had me in tears, 0-60 with a sundial, priceless
Haha thanks for watching
"a Kinder egg look like a Fabergé" lol
Someone needs to help out the poor fella, he’s got holes in his jeans
Gotta say: I don't get that either.
It's bollox.
I red this with my dads voice in the head
Mrs C tells me it's fashion.
Nah they ripped when he fell out of the drivers door, crying his eyes 👀 out, on the gravel
No ones bought this heep of shite in 8 weeks!
Ohh wo is me.
Love the variety on this channel & moreover love this mans honesty, as a salesman myself- be square why the customer & they’ll come back! Any block of wood can sell ANYTHING ONCE !!!
Another great video Matt!! “Badge snobs need not apply”. As you pointed out, this car is perfect for farmers or builders who just want something that works. The reliability and long warranty would no doubt appeal to buyers of that type. I’m sure it will sell, but knowing commercial buyers they’ll only buy a replacement when their current one can’t be fixed anymore. Good luck, and keep up the great work 👍🏾
Dude, any chance of a review of the w211 you have in stock? It was my auld fellas car once upon a time.
That exact one?
@@HighPeakAutos It would appear so Mr High Peak Autos
These always beg the question: Would I have a new Korando or a second hand HiLux? Which begets the question: Would I have a 2nd hand 5yo Korando or a 4th hand 15yo Hilux?
Thats the thing isn't it.
Definitely a case of function over form! Whilst I have heard of it, I have never seen one in the metal, and looking at the back end I'm quite glad of that!
Love it, its not something ide watch a video on normally but it was entertaining and nice to see a professional admit that sometimes even they make mistakes, I keep watching all your videos as I like to hear more reviews on reasonably priced cars and some odd ones (odder the better). And must admit when it comes round to my next car, ile pop over for a look round.
Glad you enjoyed it!
only one car reviewer would quote shrek, there is something you can't quite put your finger on with the looks. It's like the doors are too square and the interior belongs in the mid 2000s
Haha cheers
The best description of a Ssanyong I read once: “A car so ugly it looks like it’s been bottled in a particularly vicious pub brawl, and then been stitched back together by a blind man”
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I remember reading that too. Think it was in the top gear magazine
Great for a builder ,room for all their tools and junk ,tow the plant trailer and sure to take all the bangs and scrapes without looking any worse.
Great review and a great budget 4x4 .
We’re probably thinking you’ve lost the plot completely...?
We thought that 8 months ago. 😁 Just kidding, this really cheered me up. Another fine video. 👍🏽
😁
Don't give up on it Matt - once the rag & bone man comes out of lockdown you could swap it for a goldfish!
Love it!
Second post on this. I feel it’s like a Hyundai, cheap nasty nobody wanted them yet now they’re everywhere,. Why, the toys, the warrantee they are good, my wife’s ix35 crdi is now 8yrs old all I’ve done is service it and replace tyres,!! She preferred to the Tiguan to drive says a lot... SO, THE Korando now Musso, it had a 5year warrantee never used, where are all the critics now, the new one has been surprising journalists all over the world, this is a good truck, everyone laughed at Datsun, Toyota, Skoda etc cheap filled with gimmicks and again look at them now... Don’t knock what you haven’t checked out thoroughly because what I’ve seen of the farmers here I believe if Hyundai brought out a pickup .... say no more...
Perfect for a woodsman, doggie walker, dad with 5 kids etc.
Luckily, I'm none of that. Also I'm German.
Haha.
Man I've just watched your first video three years behind. Your mix of humour and sincere thought is unmatched. Am not buying ssangyong hell no, but am surely sucribing and watching all your reviews.😂
Thanks!!
Friend of mine had a series 2 Korando. Hideously ugly, but could tow a house & never let him down. 2.9 litre Merc diesel sounded like a bag of bolts but seemed to take abuse in its stride. He never bothered to lock it, saying nobody would bother to try & pinch it. And he was right.
Ssangyong Korando, I will always remember they made a car that looked like a moose, the Rhodius. 😂
‘A white stick and a labrador’ ? Haha, very good 😎!
Someone has one of these in the industrial unit next to where I work 😂 it’s like something you’d get from AliExpress.
The Ssang Yong Musso model has been around for years. A friend has an old mid 1990's UK spec 5 door Musso 4x4 on an N reg plate. It's got a 2.9 non turbo five cylinder Mercedes Benz diesel and a selectable 4x4 to the front wheels, which I think have manual locking freewheel hubs, similar idea as found on old series Land Rover models.
Will you let us know when ad revenue exceeds profit from the sale of it 🤣
Hahaha It'll have to go viral for that
the Rhodius - bastard lovechild of a Mercedes R class, Toyota Previa and a bus.
Haha yes
Just after watching the review. I don't think it's a bad looker. Would you consider putting an ad in English Farmers Weekly. I, m sure a farmer would be interested in it. Its good enough to pull a cattle box. A pallet will fit in the load area. The load area has a heavy duty plastic insert. The plastic interior can be wiped off with an old rag. The seat s can be covered with seat covers from an auto factor's if needs be. I see an opportunity here. I, m saying respectfully you might be pitching it at the wrong crowd.
People with plenty of money or high aspirations won't look at it but a farmer or a horsey type will always be looking for a good bargain.
Good luck with the sales.
Love the reviews as always.
Regards from Ireland
It's the ideal car for delivering smeg where it needs to be and then you can turn the hose pipe on when the MOT is due.
Hey Dude 😎 SsangYong...., did the older ones have Mercedes under pinnings Mercedes engine Mercedes Chassis etc etc, not to sure though Cheers, Anyway. 😎
Ye the ssangyong rexton was pretty much much a Mercedes ml underneath engine , gearbox ect
Don’t think you’ll see that one in “Harry’s Garage” next to his Jenson Interceptor 🥴
Hahaha I dont think so either.
I bought a new Ssangyong Korando (not the pick up) in 2019, the 5 door hatch 2.2 4x4 in top spec. All Ssangyongs now have 7 year warranty, I love mine, good value for money, well built, 175 bhp, 400 Newton metres. Although I don’t tow, it got Caravan Club Tow Vehicle of the Year. So don’t knock it till you try it.
Thanks for sharing
You already have 5.9k views that’s better that the 1200 you predicted.. so things are looking up lol! Good video mate
Haha thats right
Don’t forget, that’s the improved facelifted version.
Ssangyong are well regarded in rural Spain. Export it!
Steering wheel is on the wrong side.
@@fastasfox and you cant put a RHD on Spanish plates!
... It's a Donkey Instant Replacement.... Behave.
@@mguuu813 I've seen plenty of RHD cars with Spanish plates here.
@@Andek74 I’m sure you have but not commercial!
Very Brave of you.
Had a Ford Ranger 3.2 4x4 Auto absolutely bullet proof and drove the whole of New Zealand in it.
When I sold it easiest car I have ever sold.
Good Luck as it's the right car for someone.
I have a soft spot for these... don’t know why though... probably because I like quirky / different things... I’ve not read about too many reliability issues either so they should do better in the market than want they do.
"Somebody buy it, for Christ's sake"
"email the designs to the factory and they'll knock it out" hahaha 😂😂😂
Haha I'm sure thats how it happened
The new Musso is a vast improvement , even a class leading cabin
Styling is still atrocious though
@@HighPeakAutos the latest one looks a bit like a Chevy. Sides still a bit slabby.
Still laughing after my mate took on a Ssanyong franchise.Try as he might he still cant polish a turd.Great review Matt.
Ssang Yong have always had dodgy styling. I quite like it in an odd kind of way.
Raffle it off then please 🤣👍
Adding to other subscribers comments in respect of TV work, I would agree. You do not get to the amount of subscribers Matt has in the short space of time he's being reviewing cars if you do not have a personality, presence, knowledge and a passion for what he is doing.
People mention Top Gear, but any fans of the show will know, most of could not afford most of the stuff they "reviewed".
Matt gives an in depth review of cars the average Joe Bloggs could afford/buy.
The footage is well shot and edited.
It is evident that a serious amount of time and effort is done prior to shooting the footage, every video is a "show reel" and I would imagine TV producers in the market for this type of show may already be aware of this channel.....
Well done Matt, you deserve all the success I hope this channel brings.
PS. Wouldn't mind seeing some bloopers as a Christmas Special! 😉
Thanks! I appreciate it! We'll see what the future brings. Cheers
I guessed it would be that. I think if you did not upset the farmers from your comments in your last vid they would buy it. Good honest vid and I’m sure someone will buy it
Ssangyong have an identity crisis, certainly in the UK, people just don't understand or even know about them even though their current range is really rather good - they're well made and, recently, well styled. Appreciate this might not be their best moment but it'll go for years and do precisely what it says on the tin.
Except Korea, nobody knows really xD
I dont think the name helps
@@HighPeakAutos I agree - I think only a rebrand will unlock their potential in UK/Europe at least. I'm not saying it's right, but I think many will be prejudiced against the name - and weirdly, because I think people think it's a Chinese brand.
@@HighPeakAutos the brand is not the worst. But they are losing to the Other Korean brands. Look how good Kia is doing.
Just make a pretty car, do proper market research with EU people and you'll do it.
Yup the name is funny.
In Polish is bit like "suck Yong" lol.
Naw ill just stick to my Lexus rx thanks 'I couldn't drive this thing 'life is to short 'if you can't feel good when driving your vehicle 'what's the point 'I would maybe consider this thing 'if it was the very last vehicle on the planet ''but it isn't so bring me another Lexus rx please 'stevie
You literally have a land cruiser. With a fancy badge. You are definitely not the intended customer
U look at male genitals in your free time
One of a kind video. With honesty like this, who WOULDN'T buy a car from this man?
Brilliant as always. How much without a part ex?
Not bad for a young farmer, country living... there is definitely room for budget cars like these for young drivers, farmers, countryside dwellers... or young drivers who dont want to spend too much on their first car .. I think you've done well choosing this car to review! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
I've always wanted a cheap pickup truck for towing a boat... £2 grand? Just so you never have to see it again? :)
Tow a boat with it by all means...when you reverse the boat into the water,
leave the handbrake off...and walk away.
Problem solved.
I had to squint my eyes to see it was a pickup truck
We have Ssayong Rodius with all the bells and whistles, 8 seater and as tough as an old boot. That car is four years old and has been to every nook and cranny of the UK without breaking a sweat.
Superb review... i just dont need one right now or i would take it off your hands just beacouse it was such an honest pitch - best of luck with the sale
Ssangyong make, without doubt, the most hideous cars ever. The Musso looked atrocious, the Rodius went one better. And this one is no different. Ladas look better. Honest to God, Ladas.
Your car is well ugly
@@mrsociable1288 Bold claim given you have no idea what I drive...
A farmer friend of mine used to run a Musso which was, in fact, a rebadged Mercedes engineered product styled, as you say, by the company that puts plastic toys in cereal packets. But it would go anywhere and do anything. And nobody wanted to nick it.
A very cheap pickup that does anything you want it to without costing mega money, it's cheap and reliable with an excellent warranty too! What's to hate about it unless you need the right sort of badge for your neighbours to read!
You have in me a huge portuguese fan! Im in love with all your analogies 😂 Keep them up please!
Hi Matt
Looks like they welded a Nivara on to a Kuga , some strange styling looks like a product from a David blunkett era 😛👍 if you can get over that and not be a badge snob it makes sense , and most get destroyed by the building trade anyway 😂😂 in these times I’ll be surprised if it does not sell maybe it is the pick up market that’s flat ! All the best keep em coming 🙏🙏👍
Hahaha thanks!
These were also available in a camouflage paint scheme from the factory if I recall correctly.
As per, a very fair and yet entertaining video, proving the fact that, No car is all bad, and obviously this one is cracking good value for a basic work truck, which to be fair is by no means bottom spec.
No thats right but I thought I'd try and make it entertaining
Love this review , got to be the best reverse logic appraisal by the seller you will ever see. Seriously it has got to be a contender for someone’s business needs in these cash strapped times and will be a talking point as well as exclusive as you don’t see many on the roads. Let us know if your review leads to a sale.
This would be something one would use on a building or mining project. Like tunnel drilling or something. Moving crew and small equipment around on site. Just totally abuse it until it gives up. I used A Musso on a bridge project and the thing was indestructible. I believe the Musso platform and drive train is Mercedes ML design.
These cars are really reliable , pretty different from what you see on the streets , few of the older models are running with Mercedes engines and gearboxes , pretty nice cars
I have always loved cars like this. They just seem so utilitarian. They may be terrible to drive and ugly as all hell, but they just have something about them that I love.
Builders could use that. Maybe you could swap it for some building work, get your driveway done, or something..
What you get for your cash is incredible, warranted etc, it's not that bad looking compared to a defender truck, Toyota pickup and the L200 isn't good either... The new Musso version is quite good, note the Scots ambulance have them.. They are worth every penny
😂... Not sure which I prefer. Your good reviews or your bad ones. You should go for an audition for one of Ricky Gervais' shows.. Luv it
Haha cheers
Typical trader: this car has loads of extras, aircon, heated seats, nearside wing mirror, headrests, steering wheel.... lol love your videos mate. Huge fan
Hey Matt don't knock it till you have put 250,000 miles on its clock, as an old mate of mine did with his San-Yong, driving between Home and Wallsend In Newcastle for work. Plus San-Yong are almost in every City up and down the UK, even where I bought my Fiesta when town garages would not give me the real exchange price I was after and so had to go out of town to do business. Yes they are rugged and styling wise rubbish but they are as tough as old boots and make ideal campervans, if you remove the passenger wall. But as that has no Auto gearbox keep it in England. Tata for this week.
