Thanks Paul, good to learn, very appreciated.
Was expecting bad news, that's great :))) 👍
Great tips!
Nice work Paul.
The purpose of the shift down, car switches to auto is when you're going downhill. You can shift down to give more resistance on the downhill to maintain speed without braking, and as soon as the engine detects the hill is done, it will shift mack to auto.
I love the fold out step on the tailgate drove my uncles cannon around for about 150kms and i have to say its a pretty solid ute for the money!
Yep.. I'm coming up to a year of ownership.. happy as
Yeah the step at tailgate is a copy of what Ford and Chevrolet had put on in the U.S.
We have two of these utes and are very impressed so far. Hope they stay reliable. Great vid but our dealer did tell us about these things 😊😊
Go and watch my .. 3 things that slightly annoying me about the GWM Cannon video 🤣
@@loudas
Did you install a dashcam (hard wired) in your Canon? I can find fuses to tap in
Best Regards
@@maku8112 There is a USB power port in the rear view mirror assembly

Thank you so much.
Hello from America! Great video sir.
Hey man !!!
Hello to America !
Do you have GWM utes there?
@@loudas not yet sir. But I do like them. I really like the maxis T90!
@@billysturgeon8616 both are available here in Chile and I have had the privilege of sampling them and some of their rivals. The T90 is quite a bit more powerful and has plenty of features but overall it just feels like a response to the Cannon/Poer with a heavily upgraded and modified T60. The GWM product was developed from the ground up to the tune of billions of dollars, on a new platform with highly revised powertrains using renowned suppliers like ZF, Cooper, Bosch, Intel and the like and if things go the way GWM expects, it will be running off production lines in many countries to compete in many markets not unlike the Hilux. There are BEV, petrol and hybrid variants in the pipeline too. So it's an extremely ambitious product that will become its own range at some point, not just an admittedly very competitive rehash and it shows (at first glance even, as it's huge).
Cross country expert mode - 🥶
Wtf, these tips are awesome.
I don’t think the dealers know
Yeah I wonder that too 🤣
I was about to purchase a cannon x here in Australia. At the end, I got a ranger wildtrack x. It's just one thing that the cannon annoyed me which was the turbo lag. I personally think an idrive throttle would be a must to fix that thing hopefully. Firmware upgrade doesn't fix that - maybe improve it a little bit. Other than that, I'd recommend cannon over hilux, navara, ldv, triton (I've done test drive on all of these). Haven't tried BT50 and Dmax but thought they'd probably very similar to navara or hilux.
Fark fairly big price difference between wildtrack and cannon
@@JRtheBoy Yeah, I know. But I was also advised to get the best though. That price difference on a business account is OK for me :)
@@jameschen7357 was it a second hand ranger? How’s it going so far for you? I’m looking at a second hand ranger XLT with low km’s for a decent price atm
@@JRtheBoy No it's a brand new one on a car loan. I hope the reselling price would be OK otherwise I would be crying :)
Apparently the newest model has no lag .
My boy is thinking about getting one of these in Sydney. Significantly cheaper than other options. I looked at some Aussie reviews, and for the money it's not a bad deal. I'm a diesel mechanic so I had some reservations. His brother has a Highlander so I expect regular challenges and healthy debate. Kia Ora brother.
Cool man :)
So far (25000 kms in my truck, and 40000kms in the work truck) no dramas with the diesel motor
Great tips. Are you still happy with your Conon? I'm considering purchasing one.
Yeah mate ... I love it.
It's a great all rounder.
Check my other videos 😄
Hi Paul looking at getting the GWM🎉 tank 300 what's you thoughts
Good tips. Any help on disabling the sensors at 10km/hr? Annoying to have cameras and front and rear sensors on every time I slow down. I don't need to be told there's a car in front and a car behind during bumper to bumper peak hour traffic. I know! I don't appreciate it turning down my music for the alarm, the music is what is keeping me sane during stop start 10km/hr peak hour traffic! E: Also annoying when off road through trails when I'm trying to think and not hear a dumb alarm.
Cool vid. Which model did you go for? Can’t decide personally
I went for the 4x4 L model
@@loudas do you reckon the upgrade from base was worth it?
@@DM-hc3sb not sure to be honest .. when i was shopping in Feb only the L model was available.
I think it's got some luxury things , that make owning it .. i dunno .. just a little bit posh?
Hello I'm interested in these Ute. When you on normal mode is it act as AWD? Cos on your dial only display 4L. So I'm curious if it's AWD + 4L system. Would be good if 40k with AWD for a family car.
Yep. It's full time awd 😊
I'm considering buying one of these Ute's.... This may sound silly but .... What situation would you use cross country mode in?
You'd use Cross Country Expert where you want the centre diff locked, but want to stay in high ratio.
I've only used it "properly" once .. climbing a sand dune.
I want as many wheel turning as possible, but also wanted speed.
Bypass the ground in park to actual ground on it and u can use it while in motion ....for the kids 😏
Going to pick up my next week let's see if he tells me these things
Cheers Paul considering buying one, do you tow anything with yours. I have a 2000kg van all up and wondered how it would cope. 👍😎
I have small boat, but there is a guy in NZ that has a digger rental business, and regularly tows 3 tonne
Hi Paul, Looking at buying the Cannon Ute. Can you change from normal Drive to 4L gear drive while vehicle is still in motion? Thanks John.
Nah, stop and engage 4L
@@loudas Thanks Paul. Best regards.
Just got my Cannon X the other day and keen to take it out for a trip. Thanks very much for these tips. I still can't get my Huawei Mate 20 Pro phone to connect with Android Auto though. My wife's Samsung S20 works when plugged in just fine but my Huawei attempts to connect but then nothing. Any tips on that would be appreciated.
Oh .. I wonder if there is some older android problems ... I'm on a Samsung s20 which works ... I think I have an older Android kicking about ... I'll do some test
@@loudas Cheers Paul. I'm on Android 10 with the last update on 1st Aug. '21 so it's still getting support from Huawei. I thought a Chinese vehicle would communicate better with a Chinese mobile phone. Thanks again mate.
as a follow up.
I have an Android tablet with Android 7 .. it simply won't work.
I get an error on screen saying incompatible versioning.
Maybe something else to check is your software version in the Cannon.
Check for version ending in 2021-03-16
@@loudas Hey Paul, I opened the Android Auto app on my phone and went into settings and found a menu option called 'Previously connected cars' which had a switch to 'Add new cars to Android Auto' & text saying "When you connect your phone to a new car, the phone will only charge.". Flicking the switch on, Android Auto then began the setup for a new car. Problem now solved with my Cannon X now working fine with Android Auto. Cheers mate!
@@davidpalmer9780 great news!
Paul did you re-located the fuel filter or put some protection on it? my filter is to much expose for off road...
Both. I lift the filter, and made a bash plate for it.
Have a look through my videos.
@@loudas how did you lift the filter? did you buy some kit?
@@jorfezu I made a box that the filter fit inside. then bolted it back in place, but higher
Hello to all of you and thanks a lot for your experiensnces and tips it really looks good quality for the price but still wanted to know if the engine is reall a toyota???
No, it is not a Toyota engine
Hi Paul can you lock the centre diff and rear diff at the same time ?
If you put it in 4L the centre dof is automatically locked
The paddles work the same as my Mazda 3
Considering to purchase a budget new ute. Have these GWM canons been ANCAP or ENCAP tested?
I dunno to be honest
I do know this:
rightcar.govt.nz/detail?plate=nhs740
In Australia tested and 5 stars it got in 2021. It is on CZcams
@@Silvolde yeah newly released ancap rating.
There is a safety notice for replacement parts for one produced before August 2021
The cannon (poer in our market)... Could be a interesting product but need in my view
A. - Better clearence... Is a big truck
B. - Bigger engine... With more displacement
C. - More simplicity in general. Too many electronics.
D.- At least rear locking diff
There is rear, and center diff locking
@@loudas in our market lacks this equipment. Overall... It seems a nice truck
Could you please tell me do you recommend this pick up??
Yes, I love it
Hey Paul, how do you turn off the cross country mode?
Hey dude, actually I don't easily :)
I don't use CCE mode anymore, I'm either sending it in normal mode, or sending it in 4L :)
Hi Paul thanks for the video. I have a red explanation symbol (!) on the driver dashboard. Only after 8000km. I'm new to these canons. Do you know what this might be by any chance? Cheers from a fellow kiwi
Hey man, turn off your lane keep assist, then you can cycle left and right through your dash menus and see what the error is
So theres no 4H option wtf am i gonna go on sand or is cross country mode 4H?
It's always 4H .. all the time 😏
Have a look through my videos ... I hit the sand a few weeks back
Has anyone noticed their transmission making strange noises when shifting up first thing when starting vehicle I.e. cold start.
Not me
They don’t tell u because their sales have NO product knowledge 😑😑😑
Is this the Canon L or Canon X
L
So the cross country mode is engaging H4? I would have thought they have a 4H/4L switch
There is a 4L and a normal (equivalent to 4H)
The Cannon is fulltime all wheel drive. so is "always" in 4wd (unless you turn it off, by selecting "economy mode")
Cross Country expert lock the centre diff, so you get a 50/50 split of power going to front, and to the rear.
You can also lock the rear diff.
Check the selector at czcams.com/video/McLbc5-zfPk/video.html
@@loudas I see
@@loudas I don`t won this vehicle, but that logic seems wrong. Pressing the traction control button should just turn tracktion control off, and the "cross country expert" is no way to allow driver to relate to center diff.... The design rule (regardless which country you are at) requires the icon to relate to the function. I don`t believe press and hold “traction control" lock/unlock a diff. But if the user manual says it, then I got nothing to say.....
@@JamesZJi I own two of these vehicles, and can absolutely guarantee that what I say is correct.
But thanks for your comments 🤣🤣
Hello Pual, how about you car now? is it maintenable? 😃
yeah man .. going strong
@@loudas That's great, as it's difficult for a new brand to enter a new market. Typically, people tend to buy a car in their market. Considering parts availability, convenience, and the mechanics has already spend time Thank you for choosing a Chinese car, I hope it will work reliably for you for a long time.🙂
Giday Paul

Link to crash test
Read the manual, there's a hell of a lot more there.
How do you open the fuel tank
there is a level in the footwell
Thanks, on the driver's side
So what does cross country expert mode do?
it locks the centre diff .. plus apparently alters the gearbox for lower speed (but nobody can confirm that for me)
@@loudas how do you turn off cross country expert mode
@@tonyr484 tap the traction control button
@@loudas Cheers mate
Cross country expert mode does not lock the diff, it disables traction control. Locking the diff by pressing the diff lock button when you’re stopped will lock the rear differential though.
You are incorrect.
Expert mode locks the CENTRE diff. The traction control button disables traction control.
You are correct the diff lock button locks the REAR diff
You said what ever you do when in cross country mode don't do something I don't understand what it is you have said sounds like TCL not sure
Tar seal / or tarmac.
Don't use CCE mode on ANY seal.
Only on the dirt/mud etc
I cant see you camo is makeing you a ghost
Do not use cross country expert mode when? Sorry, didn't get it.
When on the tarseal or tarmac
@@loudas aha, got it, thanks Paul.
4 things Paul. Are you aware that the 7 year unlimited and 5 year roadside assist is flawed. If a breakdown occurs , towing is limited to 50km, NOT to the nearest GWM service centre. It is also not 5 years unlimited km , it is 5 yrs or 100,000 km. Im at 30000km after 6mths so roughly 18mths roadside assist. If the car needs any sort of towing and the engine cant be started, a tilt tray is required. Nearest dealer could be 1 thousand km away, hardly the reason I bought this vehicle. I am setting up a case with fair trading as all of the dealers ,sold these vehicles under false pretences. Anyone who has one , ask your dealer for clarification. They will refer you onto GWM roadside assist who will then spill the beans on this fraud.
None of that applies to me, as I'm not from Aussie :D
New Zealanders (where I am from) are protected by our consumer guarantees act.
I have an enforceable contract with my dealer.
Roadside assist info here:
www.gwmhaval.co.nz/roadside-assistance
And warranty info (very brief quote)
The GWM New Vehicle Warranty applies to all new GWM and HAVAL vehicles first sold in New Zealand through authorised dealers. All GWM and HAVAL vehicles are backed by a 5 year / 150,000 km warranty.
That roadside assist is the same as ours , nowhere in the terms of service is there a mention of either 100,000km or 150,000km limits. It was when calling roadside assist that I found out. I love your you tube stuff. It helped in my decision to buy a cannon. Only had minor electrical issues , but getting help from dealer or GWM, may as well ask the man in the moon.
@@harrysafari7106 thanks for the love ❤️🥰
Sad to hear your story.
When I bought in Feb 2021 it was made very clear to me the terms of the roadside assist, and the warranty.
This is my 3rd greatwall. My second greatwall from the current dealer.
Sounds like i have a much better dealer than you ... sorry bruv
I ennded up with porn on mine It was a acident.
Minimize !! The missus is coming 🤣
Hey Paul,
Do you know how to turn of the rear sensor if you’re towing a van?
I don't 😭 it's annoying eh?
? My dealer told me about all 3 things you’ve just mentioned
you must cool then
will your dealer tell you when it will start RUSTING ???
Doesn't need to . .it starts rusting about 3 years after you've replaced the gearbox for the second time in your Ranger :P HAHAHAHA
I was looking at buying one of these Ute's and found some interesting articles,here is some of what I have come across that they will also not tell you:-
1- the turning circle is 13mtrs (crap)
2-the breaking performance is poor compared to similar utes.
3- the safety rating - unestablished yet by ancap,however with There last " death trap" rating ,do a search on you tube,I would be concerned.
4- paint work " 1 layer and holographic reflections - a reflection on poor quality.
5- requiring software upgrades from new - several upgrades.
6-crank position sensor recalls.
7- low hanging fuel filter and piping,not properly established/ fitted at factory.
8- laging performance from pull away ,in my view a poor drive and towing performance.
#### no doubt more issues to follow##### Given time they may be worth a 2nd look ,but as a 1st generation vehicle ,not a good choice in my opinion.
Hi Sean,
Here's what I have found (being an owner .. not just research)
1. Correct .. it has a huge turning circle.
2. I've not noticed any difference to my friends triton, or another friends ranger.
3. The safety rating is 5 star in NZ ( rightcar.govt.nz/detail?q=g52306 )
4. My previous Greatwall v240, I had to make a warranty claim about the paint in year 3. Time will tell with the Cannon
5. Correct .. you need software upgrades and ecu upgrades. Greatwall are open about this, it is no secret.
6. No recalls on the Cannon (at least not in NZ), maybe you are referring to a Steed? (there has been a metric f@%K tonne of recalls on rangers)
7. No issue from me, or any other NZ'ers that are part of the owners group.
8. I can beat a 2.0TD ranger, and 2.4TD triton in a standing 0-60 .. so ... this is not true. Also, towing is on par with what is written on the tin ( link2.nz/GWhlL )
What you failed to list is the crazy amount of haters, that will go out of there way to dis the Greatwall products. I have no idea why .. it's mental.
@@loudas, regarding comparing the Gwm to a triton,absolutely incomparably,I know because I have owned a triton for 2 years towing a 2.5 tone boat. Look at the last Auzi ute drag test- the gwm came last" in black and white". Don't believe any article from gwm on Towing,simply put the Gwm is way down on performance.
Regarding the 5 star rating in Nz ,this is not based on actual crash testing,this is still to be done ,do some research ,the 2021 test was cancelled due to covid ,the report you refer to is only feature based accounting. " not scientific at all ,to quote from your report - "Ratings are estimated from data on real crashes reported to police in Australia and New Zealand, and are updated annually." This is still a far cry from an actual Ancap rating.
You need to look at it from all angles.
@@seanleonard2912 LOL .. I don't need to .. I already own one ;)
@@loudas ,sorry to hear that, 🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@loudas good luck then!
whats wrong with your nails
