You might have heard stories about the old Great Wall utes, but this one is a very different proposition - it's the all-new 2021 GWM Ute, which is also known as the Pao, Poer and P Series, depending on the market. And you might also know it by the Great Wall Cannon name, and that's not because of that cannonball-sized grille emblem.
No matter what you call this new dual-cab pick-up truck, you need to know this: it is unlike any Great Wall ute that has come before it, and it's now, you guessed it, actually pretty great considering the price of this 4WD ute range.
On price it's up against the likes of the LDV T60, but it certainly has the technology and refinement to compete with the likes of the Toyota HiLux, Mitsubishi Triton and Ford Ranger.

Just bought the Cannon L in silver and love it. Really comfortable on long drives. Driven about 4 hours straight and did not feel any aching whatsoever. Almost up to my first service now. Was also told that It comes with Capped servicing.
I got canon X, dropped my kids at school and attracted many attentions, I wonder why?
Tell us what it's like in 5 years, why did you buy China ???
Can u give us a update in a year
@Anthony Farrer Check you house carefully and make sure you have not and will not buy anything made in China. Bravo!
@@Minchya check out recent Amazon news, that will give you the clues.
The more I research the more attractive this vehicle is becoming
I though this was only happening to me!
Same
There's a lot not to be happy with,do your research
What a heap of $%#@.
@@seanleonard2912 name a car that is perfect.
Just bought my cannon L and absolutely love it. Great Ute and awesome features. I highly recommend it. 👍🏼
I have a cannon x and I think that it's the best truck on the market today, took all other trucks for test drive, and still decided to get the cannon x. Saved plenty of $$$$$ and got a good truck. Best truck on the road,
Yeah chinese cars are improving really well
Good on you for using your head instead of your heart.
@wayne, can u use android auto/apple car play now? My dealer told me to wait to update the system so that i can use android auto in my x,they said gwm is paying for that in model x.
@@andrewjiao2898 same question - my dealer also said Android Auto will only be available with an update.
@@LeonSteyn55 a gps navigator is highly recommended even we have android auto because it is too easy to get caught by cameras in using phone when driving nowdays,in rural areas even telstra has no reception there,mobile phone navigation is not available without reception.
I saw it on the road a few days ago. It's huge.
We love our Cannon L! Currently towing our 3T caravan around Australia with it.
Absolutely impressed with how well its doing!
Picked up my Cannon X in blue, have not gotten any accessories yet but loving every minute of driving it.
Can u use Android auto/apple car play now?
Not gonna last, will be good for about 80k km
Good review buddy!
Matt, like your reviews, this is what professional car reviews should be, no emotions, just facts. You and Paul are now leading the pack. Keep up the good work. I am a happy g10 user. Please do a review on the 3rd gen haval h6 when they arrive, we are interested to know reveiws from the oz perspectives
Thanks for the feedback Uncle Biscuits! Glad you're enjoying what we're doing.
Matt
@@carsguide I’m a caradvice convert, and agree. You guys do it all better. Keep it up.
Do you know how much these Chinese company's are paying for these reviews.? Not professional at all. Just being told what to say
@@jpw0206 do you know?
💅 thanks!
Smooth report. I like your style 🥂
Great looking ute, improving all the time.
Plenty of happy new owners on the Facebook owners group, no bad issues unlike the Ldv T60. Really nice in the flesh and surprisingly good fit and finish
They have sold over 1,000,000 of these in China alone! I think they would have sorted the bugs out by now... Fact is, these are the future, and the Malaysian built 'rest' will have to drop their price. Thank you GWM
I'd have to wait for the long term reviews on quality
Bought one. Just waiting for delivery. Gorgeous looking ute. I love it!!!
How is it?
@@choppanz6119 I love it. You would never know it had a 2.0Lt engine. It drives very well and has alot of power. Still trying to work out all the safety features and learning to not put the wipers on instead of the blinkers. So far, so good. No complaints.
@@palladiumblue2539 I just bought one too... In blue.. Can't wait to get it in a few days time!!! Pretty much everyone I've showed the picture of it to loves the look of it. They can't guess what it is...
@@palladiumblue2539 how’s the fuel consumption? South African market doesn’t have much spec and info but it’s selling well. Dealers has no idea about the specs lol
@@Ilikepie18855 I'm getting 9.5L/100k with mine
That mid level spec pricing for all that equipment is prettly bloody sharp, coupled with this review this is at the top of my ute list to consider. I've always wanted a Ranger but the money saved is significant.
Reliability long term and re-sale $ to consider.
@@Minchya does resale matter that much when they’re like 20k cheaper than the competition?
$20k difference? Hmmm thinkit might ne a lot more. Ye sI am looking at the 2022 Wildtrak ranger...expecting it to be $75K...if I can get one in 12 months after release...hence why I am looking at an option $30k less... No not worried about resale as will be equivalent to purchase in todays market, only looking to hold for 3 years, max 5, all in warranty period. Is it perfect, no...will it do the job , yes....can I get my camper traler with the difference in price ? yes very close... Do I love the new 2022 ranger Yes but I will not be able to have one due to market conditions. If this is available in the colour I want, yes will drop in cash (without the loan a ranger will require) my hard earned cash....!
@@Minchya go away troll
@@Auzzzie82 What makes me a troll, having a different opinion to you ? Grow up.
From SA🇿🇦..This brand has improved so much🥰 I drove the steed for more than 7 years...I'd like you to review the new Canon/P-Series with other pick ups/bakkies/utes. Kindly compare it with the Hilux,D-Max,Ranger,Triton,Amarock,Navara,Mahindra,Fullback... Maybe things like Tug of War, Mud and Gravel while carrying a load, pulling of trailer's, Drag race, Break test,etc. Would really love to see that.
It's really a great car with good looks.. Ford ranger and Toyota hilux must be shivering
@@nonyanamarite1430 they are already shivering as many Toyota and Ranger fan boys are asking many P series owners how it is and how sales are doing which are excellent so far in Souh Africa, IN FACT many owners of Isuzu,Hilux and Ranger have already traded in their bakkies for the P series.
@@nokocambelngoasheng9279 like me, lol
@@nokocambelngoasheng9279 that's amazing
Did you look at ancap regarding the steed??????? You would not like to be in an accident
I bought a cannon x two weeks ago,very happy with the new technology,especially the lane keeping function and the rear ladder makes me easy to load and unload bikes for kids.
The zf 8At transmission does a great job,can not feel any lag in shifting,it does satisfy all my routine need and i got my cannon x only 1 week after i paid 990 oz dollars deposit
That what you need to do test drive it if you think its good buy it
@@james6969 i did a 5 mins test drive and paid deposit,i know what i want because i drived hilux and triton.
now having model x two weeks,very happy with it. Time will tell.
I rang dealer this morning about parts,the dealer told me if they have parts in australia,they will arrive in 3 days,if order from overseas,need a month to come.
@@andrewjiao2898 did you just prefer it over the hilux and trition cause its cheaper or do you think its just better also at least you did not say ugghhhr made in china i will never buy it
@@james6969 its private company. Gwm is not a state owned.
@@iggy5347 oh ok thanks for letting me know 😀
Wow!!! Gorgeous ute 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Very nice looking ute.You can notice their presence on the road,their huge!
Kinda similar front grill as the U.S bilt Toyota Tundra and Tacoma.
Very very nice review I really liked everything in this video
We are off to check the Cannon X out tomorrow, fingers crossed that we love it. I'll let you know.
He provided many good recommendations!
In South Africa it's called the GWM P-Series Bakkie (Ute). It's an awesome vehicle @ 66% of the Toyota Hilux price for 90% of the Hilux capability. 👍👍
I really hope it sells but people in South Africa care about the brand of a car too much.
@@ld9387 exactly but what I like is that when they encounter this beast they are speechless.. they swallow the pride
You bluff yourself...its a piece of junk....there is no way under the sun you can compare this thing with a Toyota or a Ford.Not even the Chinese buy these junk..they go straight and buy a Toyota.
@@truth-Hurts375 Have you owned both these vehicles to make such a comment declaring the GWM P-Series junk?
The sentiment around these comments are not to say Toyota is bad and GWM is better...not at all.
By all accounts Toyota Hilux and Ford Ranger are great bakkies as is the GWM P-Series at it's price point.
When Toyota arrived on South Africa soil in 1966 the same comments were made then about the Japanese products as are being made by you today...time will tell but until you have owned either it would be prudent (smart) not to pass judgement.
@@ZaahidArnold you have schooled him... he has never even been in one or test drove it and he calls it junk..stigma will misinform people like him.
I'm wondering if they will be fitting Hard lids for the tub soon? I haven't seen any offered as extras yet?
Would be very interesting to see how it does over the course of a few years (especially its drive train towards the end of its 7-year warranty).
There's nothing bad to say about this.
People complain that it's made in China but so is the other 90% of the stuff in your house.
This is a really good step up got Great Wall. If this goes on, they won't just need to build cars to compete on price. They can sell cars because they're genuinely good
Saw one on the road this week!! Wow looked fantastic. I'm sure they will sell really well.
Until people realise that parts will take months to source and no one garage wants to work on them.
@@CalmFarm516 my workmate use steed for 4 years and he said no major issue only cost him $20 000 brand new.
Zero resale
Meh so far, doing pretty well. Especially back home in the country that I'm from (Zimbabwe, Africa) they're selling like hotcakes. Over there, a luxury car that's for the average person would be like a navara. So this thing with it's luxury as well as cheap asking price... Couldn't ask for more.
@@CalmFarm516 1 year later and your comment is delusional!
i like it handles on the road and Bush driving it
seems to handle the Bush very well .looks great. i will be buying one myself.
Have been looking for a ute for a while and have driven all the major brands. Need 1000kg+ payload so that FBT doesn't come into play so that scrubs most of the mid to higher spec utes except for Mazda/Isuzu and Ssangyong XLV. Triton GLS 920kg and Ranger 3.2 XLT Auto 940kg are out of the mix as are the higher spec models. So I drove Cannon-L and Cannon-X. The Cannon doesnt have quite as much 'go' as Triton and Ranger but runs an 8 Speed BorgWarner transmission that works just fine. With 1050kg payload, constant 4wd, rear diff lock and tech that's way above anything else in the market the big question is 'risk' on the new model. Well it comes with 7year warranty and 5yr roadside assist so I've bitten the bullet and ordered an 'X'. Simply can't argue with the value proposition and ROI for a working vehicle that should play well too. Everyone say's "but what about the resale?". Well when a comparable (almost) spec Ranger costs mid-high $60s, the $20K saved and invested more than offsets the resale difference and contributes a big chunk to a trade to the the update model in a few years time. I see the GWM Cannon being to GWM what the iLoad has been to Hyundai, and I think it'll set the cat amongst the pigeons.
At least, should thanks to GWM to get new chances for used Holden dealers and their staffs, also makes the auto industry more competitive, benefits customers especially for Australia a small right hand steering market.
You're exactly right. GWM expanding its presence in the Australian market will bring benefits to many Australians. It's a shame a lot of people apparently can't understand this
That is true,gwm sold 114878 cannon dual cab utes in 2020
If you're a business looking for operational vehicle for one of your staffs. With the price, you either get 10+ yrs hilux with 120,000+kms or this.
You'd get a Triton
This one give you warranty, plus, better and more lux features for your staff to enjoy it while driving it.
I would choose this one than old ute.
Especially, you do know what has the old ute experienced in her life.
Wouldn't be caught dead in one of these Chinese billycarts
My workmate got great wall steed for 4 years and he said no major issue
@@ownurlove ten years warranty on Triton.
Could there be a video on this showing how the ute handles 2-3 tones?
I have the entry model picked it up today. Worth every penny
Hold on to the warranty,.., you will need it... ;;if its honoured. which is unlikely............Made in chayna
@@julesmarwell8023 Well now that I’ve owned it for 1.5yrs and have 57,000kms racked up on the dial with a mixture of 4WDriving Towing ( 1T Trailer and 2.5T Caravan) Freeway driving around Town driving country roads dirt roads graded and ungraded. Smacked a billion potholes even busting two from copper tyres from hitting pot holes on the Buckets Way NSW and my Ute is going really really well. Nothing is coming loose and falling apart interior and extrerior. My drivers seat hasn’t shown wear unlike my Dmax at the same KM interval. The interior plastics have not warped or separated like they did in the Isuzu.
Engine and transmission no failures or differences since new.
No oil leaks from the engine diffs trans etc.
My fuel economy around town is 9.5L to 10.5L per 100kms on the open road drops to about 8L/100kms
The vehicle tows well. And handles loads way better then other Utes in the class.
The gearbox and computer work well keeping traction all the time in the wet.
Cruise control is excellent
You need to educate yourself when it comes to GWM and have a look at the company and it’s design tech…
I’ve had nothing but reliability with this vehicle.
Anyway have fun in your 30k more expensive Utes under teched and not as safe or strong…
Getting back to the service times, I've bought a few new cars in my time, (I'm OLD) and ALL of them including last years ASX had to get the first service between 1000 and 1500k's, that includes Nissans, Toyota's, Mitsu's etc
How’s the fuel consumption? South African side only had info for the passenger version 4x4 auto at 9.4L/100km.... what about the 4x2? Manual etc?
Just drove the Cannon L on the weekend. It drives very well. Gearbox is spot on. Plenty of pick up. Very quiet inside. There is turbo lag and in reverse i noticed quite a bit of surging when I was trying to park. I couldn’t get the throttle placement right to smoothly reverse park. Mind you, I’m coming from a 09 Hilux SR5 I’ve had for 5 years. Jumped back in it after the Cannon and it was like returning to the dark ages. Loud, tractor like and rough. I am concerned about GWM build quality but with a 7yr warranty should I be? I also had 5yr fixed price servicing confirmed by the dealer in Brisbane. Going to take it for another albeit longer drive
I’m happy with the 2020 steed I bought. It serves my purpose. Iv received positive comments from people passing by. Iv also
I’m still very happy with my Cannon Ute..... I haven’t done a lot of kilometres in it so far, but it’s purring along just beautifully.
The DPF burn is something you have to get used to and be aware of.
I’ve had to only do one manual DPF burn but if you follow instructions it’s not that daunting & it is all over in approx 20 min...
It’s also done 2 automatic DPF burns as well .... but I was driving at the time and there is no change to the vehicle.
I have added some accessories that I got direct from China that works out so much cheaper...
1 - I-9 throttle controller for $55 delivered I didn’t want to spend $200 on one locally if it didn’t help & yes it definitely improves the throttle response immensely.
I had to wind it back as I was getting too much wheelspin .
There still is some marginal turbo lag with it but you have to live with that.
2 - Mud-flaps x 4 $48 delivered.....big saving
3 - Aluminium roller Tonneau cover/manual.... just finished installing it & it has came up a treat works perfectly..
When you lock it with the key it also locks the rear tailgate (bonus) cost all up $830 delivered to my door under half price of some locally.
Installation is very straight forward you just need a second person for the lifting into the back of the Ute part... wait time by Sea-freight was only 5 five weeks.....very impressed with it.
4 - Full darkest legal window tint all round (medium grade) it only cost $350.
Next I plan to add to my vehicle (white) is some black aftermarket signage/striping decals to break it up a bit.... they are also very in expensive from overseas.
Hey mate, picking up my Cannon in a couple of days.. Could you share where you got the add ons from please?
When's the off road and towing review coming?
Bought one last week and it’s great
How’s the fuel consumption!
@@Ilikepie18855 around town 10L /100km
Same here around town 10L......haven’t been on any decent long highway trips yet to get a cruising figure
Have owned gw steed for 3 yrs just done 50000k very happy But paid 21990 on road now would cost me 25000 change over I will be sticking to the steed
All great but after sales backup will decide if this is any good or not , as is the case of the Foton Tunland debacle.
placed an order and picking it up this Sunday, can't wait
For that price, would you go for a brand new GWM or a second hand Ranger/Triton 2017-2018 with 120,000ish km on the clock?
I brought a steed in 2012 and every time it went in for an MOT the tester remarked how rust free the chassis was compared to Nissan's and fords that where newer than mine . Sold it 3 years ago but the person who brought it still has a rust free chassis . Rest of it in terms of quality wasn't that good but served a purpose . Wouldn't buy another though as it wasn't as nice to drive as my 1996 Hilux I had stolen .
Mate nice review as always. If you could do a review between LDV, GWM and Musso please
No thanks all garbage
It's something we're considering, if we can get the vehicles. Thanks!
@@halitosis75 you’re still saving your pennies to buy a 15 year old hilux. Your opinion is worthless.
Ccp rodent
Funny how some people will still take the time to watch a review of a Chinese-made car only to comment that it's garbage. Very strange. Why waste your time in the first place over garbage?
This is the best UTE for me to fishing and dividing.
Just bought one !!! loving it .... Great buy. Great Value for Money... !!!
Great the CCP will love you pitty they have sanctions on our Countries goods .Such a great murderous Regime.
Don't blame Australian people for SoMo's suicidal madness.
All the haters out there , Must be great to not buy anything made in China , one question - how do you do it ? Because if it’s not made in China most of the parts came from China
@@exploringsydneyandbeyond9059 Hay Steve , The CCP hate us hate Australia cancelled our Free Trade agreement, actually just decided to not honour it. So stuff you they put a virus out in the World and then shut down their domestic Airlines but let all International flights out, spreading that virus around the World knowing full well how dangerous it was but told everyone that it was fine and abused our Government for eventually stopping flights from China. They let their own people freeze because they refused to take our coal exports. So your pathetic comment doesn't stand well with most Australian,s who now know how dangerous and hostile the CCP is towards a friendly Country who just wanted to know the Truth and now we know what pigs the CCP are and what lengths they will take to cover their lies.So don't drown in your ignorance mate or are so so stupid that none of this has any concern on you pathetic existence.
P.S. sorry i am sure your existence isn't,t pathetic I apologise for saying that.
Im from Thailand. Hope GWM to have this model in Thailand as well soon. Btw, which town was this video produced ? Look very nice, clean and peaceful 😀
This thing is made in Thailand.
@@mmhhdmjyyb it's made in China...
It's in Sydney, Australia
@@Berzertles both Thailand and China now
This car is excellent value for money. Its beautiful,nice and cheap
They know how to build cars, they build 6 or 7 million a year so that's not the issue, probably dealer support would be my main concern in this country, but it's almost half. The price of a comparative top spec Hilux, that's incredible
I was set on a Ranger until I saw how much prices have jumped since Covid. Then I swayed towards a Triton since it is better bang-for-buck. Then I saw this video. Now I might have some more thinking to do. Although I'm unsure on the bigger size and smaller engine compared to the Triton, there is still a hell of a lot of car for the money. Maybe measuring up garage entrance will be the determining factor. And whether or not the genuine accessories such as canopy will work.
Go for it Gavin.. I test drove it its brilliant ..still working hard so I can afford to buy it. It drives like a dream ..its so powerful and luxurious...and the safety specs are more than what you get in a hilux and a ranger. Infact technology overall. Join the GWM P series group on Facebook to see how its storming the Market in South Africa in just 3 months
I bought the Navara last month mate new 2021 models can carry a ton as well as 3.5ton tow for FBT etc. Not as much tech on lower models but a brand that you know
It's junk l test drove one but ended up buying a v6 amarock it's much better in every way 😄
And I ended up buying a Triton. Hehe
Multi view parking system, good stuff.
When will you do tradie and off-road review?
I'm very tempted to buy BUT I hate noisy diesel so I will need to sound it out hoping to be quiet or at least well soundproofed which has not been covered in the review.
Impressive Ute for the price. Thanks for a balanced and informative review!
Great review! Test drove the L and bought one
Who bought your comments and likes? It's not for sale yet.
Actually it is there is a heap on the road already!
@@Cusk0 yeah it is... I pick it up today
The sock puppet accounts replied at 4am Australian eastern time. Haha
@@Cusk0 no... just the working class
Put in sport and you find that under power feeling with general stop and go driving plus just give it a little push dont put your foot down and it will surprize you
Great review, Matt. I test drove a Cannon L and was surprised how good it was, that ZF 8 speed really helps mask the small engine keeping it in the power band. Agree with the turbo lag comments but in the GWM Facebook group they say putting it in sport mode gets rid of the lag. After driving the Cannon I got into a new Triton and it felt like stepping back in time 15 years and was soooooo much smaller inside. I think it also beats the LDV T60 by miles. Would I buy one? I'd wait a year or so and follow the FB groups to see what issues arise. I did that with the T60 and I'm glad I did because they have rust and over heating issues etc.
At least you test drived it instead of ugg made in china i will never buy it
@@james6969 I also sat in the Cannon X. The interior is much nicer than the L with real leather and a tidier looking centre console. That's the one I'd buy. Just look on carsales for what you can get 2nd hand for 41k and you'll be shocked with covid prices!
@@LoftyVisions that is very cheap for a ute and tell me how much does it cost for covid prices
@@james6969 Prices of second hand cars and utes have gone up heaps since covid, making this new GWM seem even better value.
@@LoftyVisions ok btw is it true that there putting in a sport mode if it is you can just send me a link also that ute has got a center airbag
Any feedback on the servicing costs on these?
$299 capped
to be honest , it looks really cool and the 120kw power 2L turbo engine is good enough , especially the price $37990 , 7 years unlimited km warranty , wow
Yes I would buy it we need it in Jamaica 🇯🇲 is
Had the choice between the "all" new DMax X and the Cannon X...Chose the Cannon X in preference for MANY, MANY reasons. None was the price factor. Cheers
Really???? I’d love to hear some of those many reasons. Seriously, I’m genuinely interested, if you can spare the time. Cheers
@@oldeebutgoodee One reason alone AND there are many others......as to WHY: DMax X has still the old Ohms resistance rear blinker and reverse light globes ...YES..in today's day and age where power consumption is of prime importance.....WOW...they had that kind of technology in the 1940s OR the rear vision mirrors IF you have forgotten to manually push the button (on the DMax) to retract the mirrors while parking in a shopping centre...bad luck they stay open while the Cannon will automatically retract when you use the push-button lock the Ute. +++++
@@arwedlang3702 ok. I was hoping to hear some really significant reasons.
Taillights mirrors. Ok. But anything really major that swayed you????
LOL this thing Vs Dmax? There's no way this beats a Dmax. Looks better maybe
You must have rocks in your head, comparing this shyte to an Isuzu lol
I was in China just before the pandemic and their car industry is huge. Talking to a car enthusiast there he pointed out which cars were rubbish, which were good and which were very good. People would be amazed if they knew just what cars are being made in China now, cars like Tesla, and Mercedes for a start. China has captured about 90% of the worlds manufacturing and are on track to do the same with the auto market, their combustion engined cars will make a huge impact on other manufacturers sales but their main focus will be electric cars.
So what did he say about GWM?
@@charles8425 That brand does not ring a bell Faith, there were many brands that I had not heard of, that may have been one of them.
@@charles8425 H6 is China's sales champion for 90 consecutive months.
I hear that GWM CONNON ... 3000 kg towing capacity is in for a change to be 3500 kg is this true
I'm actually impressed, the styling alone is better than some established brands (hello Mazda). I find the interior layout extremely stunning. It remains to be seen how reliable it is after years of use. But it's certainly a Great attempt
👍🏾👍🏾
Just waiting for delivery.
In SA?
Triton or Musso or Cannon? (City 50pc, Farm25, beach25 )
just to clarify for all the GWM Cannon does have 5YR CAPPPED PRICE SERVICING. :-)

Might be worth checking Australian and German websites for another Toyp model ute and asking why in a country not selling the GWM Ute is the price the same number in Euros as it is in Australian dollars. Even if you hate the GWM thank them for the almost 30% discount on your new Toy.
Ground clearance in other countries is 227mm, the rim size is 17 and a higher profile tires, they should make the rim option available here.
Ground clearance in New Zealand is around 195mm . With 265/ 60 /18 tyres
Honest straight up review. I've ordered a black Cannon X should be here early August. I did a fair bit of research first then drove one & couldn't really fault it. The bits that you noticed you'd very quickly happily live with. The Chinese are pretty clever rather than pay for development GWM went shopping. The common rail fuel system is from Delphi. IHI turbo. ZF transmission and the drive line & diff lock are from Borg Warner. Hard to knock any of that. Of course a few die hard bogans will laugh no matter what. China is coming of age, remember Hyundai & Kia's were absolute shite when they first hit the market now they're leading the way in a lot of respects. Pros and cons, yes the other utes have their attractions but not everyone can afford a Ranger.
Very good video
Does anyone know how they go towing a caravan??? Any good and bad points would be greatly appreciated.
Im still very scared about what's gonna give at the price.....will the engine, transmission, suspension be working in 10 years time? Thats why im still considering the hilux although expensive without all these gizmos and technology
The drive train is proven in other vehicles.
I’m seriously considering buying one of these things because bang for buck
I've taken one out for a test drive & was impressed.
The rear seats also lift up so you have room for a fridge or a place to keep lock up power tools if you want if you haven't added a canopy etc.
I'm planning on travelling oz with a 3 tonne caravan how will it go.??? Also how available are parts if something breaks. ???
Haven't had a chance to tow with the Cannon yet, sadly. But the dealer network is pretty light at the moment, so maybe take that into consideration. All models do come with five years' roadside assist, but read the fine print if you're heading away from civilisation!
No way Known you would tow a 3 tonne caravan with it....
2 - 2.5 tonne maybe....
It will break 😄
Looking at buying one but I would like to know how well it tows. Is a review on towing as yet?
i towed a car around 2tonne from melbourne to adelaide and back and it with out any problems at all towed great sat on 100ks on the steep hills
From a friends experience with a Cannon L drop in a throttle controller, less turbo lag and quick off the mark, a decent set of after market shosk absorbers and quality AT tyres, (yep Korean Kumho Dynapro's, great wearing tough tyre) and its a whole new deal all for under $38K on the price he got!
75K for a Hilux with 2.8 and Cat problems doesn't look like a great deal to me, just a big profit for Toyota.
8:02 just wondering why you'd have your hand on the gear selector while sitting in traffic in the first place.
Could you rate the op combo life enjoy 1.6tdi 2020 please
Hey mate I have bought one of these in btisbane. There is 5 year capped serving in qld.
Test drove one today, im definitely buying it. Smooth drive and nice responce from a car of its size
My workmate got steed for 4 years and he said no major issue.
I notice a lot of Toyota bakkie owners is moving over to this GWM bakkie because of the price, tech and flexibility it gives. Also the safety factor and ease of mind with warranty and service that is unlimited miles......this is a winner for me.
Waiting for my Blue beaut ute, soon Im hope
Se a picape é bonita, o jogo de roda é mais bonito ainda!
How do you know its massivly improved at the beginning
Because I've driven both the old Great Wall Steed and the existing V240 utes, and it is MASSIVELY IMPROVED.
Thanks
Matt
@Genghis Calm mate so far so good
Noticed some footage in blacktown 😮
I might sketch the SUV version of this
I would choose a GWM Canon Black Bullet. Shame they wont come to Aus.
