Yes it has heated seating, however it only heats the base of the seat which is weird. It doesn’t heat your lower or kid back and it feels odd just having the heated seat on your legs. Most people want heated seating to warm your lumbar.
Yeah good point, it’s more like a backside heater than fully heated seats. I’m out on the great central road and I’m appreciating the heated seats either way right now! 🥶

Great review thinking of getting one of these. I have a LDV G10 people mover van 9 years old with almost 200,000 kms and still going strong. LDV are a real threat to the traditional car manufacturers, you get twice the features, similar reliability for half the price? 🤠
Thankyou. Yeah the value proposition coming out from the Chinese and Indian manufacturers is surely registering amongst the Japanese manufacturers. We’re pretty stoked with our T60 and this new one is a huge improvement for the interior. Excited to see what comes next for our market. 👌
@@robvanduren761 hey bud I can’t speak for the cargo version but I’d assume its the same engine as the people mover, mine is a T petrol.

@@robertmoloney471 I’ve only briefly sat in the D90 and did think it was more comfortable, didn’t realise the seats were different. Might have to check that out I reckon and yeah, a seating update wouldn’t go astray!
@@DiceyRicey yeah they have a bit more adjustment and lumbar support can't remember if they had cooling but that would be awesome aswell especially for Australia

I got a pre 2022 t60 mines is a luxe 2019 love it man goes great do some light off-roading aswell now with it I’d definitely buy another t60 now owning this one and this one looks sick maybe upgrade in a few years time they just keep getting better a like that
Yeah they do kick it up a notch each generation which is good for us, the consumer! 👌 Good to see the ‘19 going strong too! Thanks for watching and commenting.
When you switch some of the safety systems off such as Lane Keep Assist, do they stay off permanently or do you have to turn them off each time you start the vehicle? Cheers for the video!
Oooh good question! I’d imagine they would come back on when you restart the car. But yeah in the previous T60, some settings like the radio default back. I’ll look into it when I do the infotainment video. Thanks for watching and commenting. 🤙
Heyyyy, Thankyou very much! Appreciate the watch and comment. Hopefully I get to do a few more of these in the future, might have to get you in on one too. 😁
I'll probably end up getting a plus but I'm getting a caravan first hopefully at the end of this year or early next year. Our 22 T60 is going great guns just want to get another so we have one each lol!
Hahaha! Go for it I reckon! Got your own personal T60 convoy wherever you go! How’s your front bumper travelling? Surely with the offroading you do it’s taken a few hits!
@@DiceyRicey surprisingly the front bumper hasn't taken a hit - the plastic cover where a bashplate should go has been destroyed though and the bumper at the back has copped a little bit of gravel rash on the right from the captain Fawcett track but nothing major and that'll all be dealt with when I end up getting a front and rear bar for it. I'll get the entire underbody bash plates too but my main aim is the caravan ATM then all the other bits n pieces and eventually another T60! I'm very impatient though so it all could happen sooner rather than later though lol!
@@TristanMaioloWell the T60 does towing duties well so enjoy that when it happens either later or whenever you get sick of waiting! 😂 The underbody protection is a solid idea though. Plenty of options out there too. 👌
Hi Dicey, I just got this T60 Mega Tub plus. Why does the media(music/radio/call) volume go down when you turn on your indicators? And then goes back to the original volume when i disengage the indicators. Pain in my butt. What do I do?
@@Ikezinny1983 starting to see these so called safety features in cars these days, similar to the music muting when in reverse. I’ll go through all the settings, see if it can be disabled and get back to you. 👌
Thanks for doing the review. Not many reviews out there just yet in this specific model. Would be keen to see the megatub version too. Why go smaller if there’s bigger, I reckon. In my mind, I don’t compare this to previous LDV T60s; I compare it to the Cannon X. Still think there’s pros and cons to both. With the LDV, build-quality and support levels will be the telling thing over time, which tops a nice interior. Would be nice if for Australia, cooling functions were priorised over warming functions eg. Steering wheel cooler would me a much better feature than a warmer. Same with seats. And personal preference thing - I’d love to rip that ugly and impractical sail plane off and replace with a standard alloy roll bar setup like Hilux, Cannon X etc. Tks again for the review.
Gosh I hear you there! A cooled seat and wheel would be fantastic in our hotter regions and summertime! I’d take a centre console fridge too if it’s going! 😅 Yeah the sailplane is an odd thing on a dualcab. Mines sail-less and bar-less for the time being but I’ve seen a few bar and roof combos going around that look the business! Ahhh the cannon X. I’m working on getting my butt into one of those for a spin but I’ve got no really experience with them yet, other than the accessory market is huge for GWM compared to LDV. Thanks for watching and commenting, appreciate it! 👌
@@DiceyRicey great comments. Actually, your review of an X would be particularly noteworthy, with your familiarity with the T60. Comparison would be awesome. That’s a video I’d watch!! I’m suggesting the X rather than the Alpha as the latter is playing in a different space now with D-Max, BT-50, Triton, etc.
@ronaldov09 oh! The BYD! I love their cars!! I don’t like the Build Your Dreams across the back of them but love what they’re doing to the EV market!! 👌👌

Anyone having issues with cruise control? Told the dealership if it can’t be fixed, I will return the car. Yer, it was that bad, anyway I called the dealership and they have said yes, a recall is in place to fix this. Software update on Thursday. 😊
Looks like it sits right about the $50k mark for most dealers. Probably worth checking for deals though. 😁 I don’t like to mention prices too much as they change so often it gets a little inaccurate.
I was a bit skeptical when I first saw the coils were going to feature with the plus but I reckon because LDV have kept the towing weight to 3000kg with 300kg ball weight it’ll sag less than the luxe, and less than some other coiled vehicles. It’s got a better rear axle weight limit than the luxe too so it should ride ok! One thing was the 5 link components looked a little light duty but I only had a Ram TRX to compare it too so I could be miles off. In any case, I reckon it’ll tow fine but I’d be cautious at the max towing weight without considering a suspension upgrade. Though at this point in time LDV haven’t released the tow bar. Hope this helps. 😁
Doesn’t make sense really, can’t use your phone but all our new cars are coming out with these infortainment systems. The AC controls still aren’t on the screen but it’s headed that way now for a few manufacturers. Perhaps this is why we need the autonomous emergency breaking nowadays? 😉

One other quick question! Why the hell did they put the indicator stalk on the left side of the steering column? I know the gear selector is on the right, but it would have been smart to integrate both of these into the same stalk.

Definitely more of an international market appeal I’d say rather than our own Australian market? I’m afraid I can only hypothesise about it. 😬🤷♂️
I guess it’s good that it has a seven year warranty then. 😅 But yes, the sentiment behind your comment will be the test of time.
