![2023 SsangYong Musso - The BEST Truck You've NEVER Heard Of! [Review] [4K]](/img/tr.png)
years ago i drove in a nissan pick up like car with a 600 kg load on the back along a wet, sloping meadow, the weight made the car slide away from the back and the car pointed up the slope several times with its nose. I dug up the meadow quite a bit to reach a field path, only with effort and with my rear up I was able to reverse up the slope, street tires, wet meadow / mud, I let air out of the tires and used the crawler gear, the farmer who owned the meadow motivated me with insults while straightening the lanes...
Was it a hard body
First time I've seen one of your reviews, what a great presentation style, sir! Very watchable and you've focussed on loads of realworld details that many other reviewers happily ignore. Top stuff, Harry. I'm off to buy a Saracen.
I'm glad you enjoyed it 😊
Im gonna buy this car next year when my 2nd kid arrives. Im gonna design this exact one! looks brilliant. Great review too
It is a handsome brute
It does have hill descent control I believe. Button is on the right hand side of the steering wheel from memory. Great review.
Thanks for watching!
It defo has HDC, it will also reverse up hill with HDC on
G'day Harry. Enjoyed your review. It was interesting to note some of the subtle differences between your euro an our Australian versions.
Thanks for watching
G'day mate what do you think about this one for a gardening/mowing business? Can you fit two commercial mowers and strimmers, hedgers etc in the tub of the short wheelbase version do you reckon? How about a 29" mountain bike, can that fit without having to take off the wheel or drop the tailgate?
By commercial mower do you mean ride on, in which case no I don't think two would fit in the short bed. A bike would fit but diagonally
Great review, enjoyed it as I'm considering one, to go with my proper work pick up (a sort of back up that still could work ) just one mistake "202 PS bested only by the Ranger" , Ahem Hilux 2.8 204 PS !
Oh sugar. In my head the hilux had an even 200, my bad. Still in both the Ranger and the Hilux those are optional, the Musso only has the powerful engine which is a really win on the value front. Thanks for watching!
I swapped from a 3.0 Hilux to a rhino, no regrets, far better machine than the toyota
Great review. Would you recommend the Musso over the Ranger for a family vehicle? Currently in the market for my first pick up and don't know which to go for.
I've not been in the brand new ranger but against the previous one it definitely has a nicer interior and a bit more refinement
I started off using Ranger for family, business and towing and after trying out the Musso Rhino LWB, the Musso is night and day an improvement over and Ranger. The 10 speed ranger gearbox with no torque converter means it cant pull any weight up hill. It might have 60 more bhp but it doesn't do half the things the Musso can.
Hi Harry, how would you compare this pick up overall to the isuzu D max V cross?
The D-Max is better off road and has better driver assistance systems, everywhere else the Musso is better
We live in Philippines Harry. Roads here are very uneven and ware out tires far ahead of time. Alignment is also a concern, but our Musso is steady as it goes. During the rain, my wife is much more comfortable than driving our Toyota Rush. The only thing we need is a folding cover for the rear. My back hurts until we drive in our Musso. What a ride, my wife's friend in Korea suggested we make the purchase. Its a 2020 never sold. What a bargain.
The suspension is definitely heavy duty. In terms of rear covers a camper style top is generally more weather proof especially if you get one from Ssangyong themselves but it depends what you want to use the bed for
Got one best on the road I got cdi tunning box 240bhp very fast cruise at 130mph its a joke love it 💨💨💨💨
#justadmittingtocrimethings
I think most people that are likely to take it even mildly offroad will ditch road tyres and put all terrains on
True, but it also still has lower ground clearance, worse approach and departure angles, a lesser wading depth and no locking diff when put against it's rivals. You cna fix all that in the after market but once you have I suspect it will have lost its price advantage
@@BuckleUpShow depends where u get it. Some models have ironman suspension and locking reqr diffs
I live in London and I've always wanted a pick up truck. It will be used as a daily car for commuting and family. I'm not a business owner nor a tradesman lol. This seems to be the only pick up truck in the UK with a swb double cab. I guess I have no other choice.
Just be aware it's still a 5 meter long vehicle, and also you'll become the go to guy whenever any friends or family want to move anything
I have the rhino, absolutly love it best pick up I've ever had, however they need to be higher off the ground it's too low. Oh yeah and the headlights are terrible
Whats wrong with headlights?
@@barnabastoth9283 about as bright as a candle, a lot of people complaint about how poor they are, but I've just threw some spotlights and a light bar on the front
Thanks mate. What kind of lightbar did you use? Im just getting my musso in a few weeks btw
@@barnabastoth9283 just an eBay cheapo, think it's 180w 32inch and a couple of 50w 7inch spotlights. Yeah there by far the best pick up I've ever owned (Mazda,Isuzu,Hilux and a ranger at work) far far better than the rest
Nice to hear that! :) im just a weekend warrior and this’ll be my first pickup. Test driven a hilux but that felt really industrial and outdated compared to musso.
Great review. Would be be able to get hold of new ford Ranger for a review. Not Raptor just the work horse one. Cheers.
We're working on it
They still using tranny engines? They used to use isuzu engines then switched to transit engines. No way would I pay 30+k for a glorified van
GREAT REVIEW. PICK MY ELX XLV UP IN A COUPLE OF WEEKS. THANKS 😄
Thanks for watching!
Is there Australia?
New Zealand ?
Yes I believe those place do in fact exist
Yes this model is sold here. In NZ it's called a rhino and the lwb is a rhino xl
Nice review, mate. Thanks. Hope your mother didn't mind you wearing her 80's stretch jeans and boots though. Lol.
Oh I am so very wounded to be told I'm apparently behind the times on the style of my wellies 😂
Have you tried turning it off and on again? 😅 my best mechanical advice there
Tbf it usually works
Where is the ground clearance
It's between the bottom of the body and the start of Terra Firma, but to answer the question I suspect you meant it's 215 mm
@BuckleUpShow cheers for that it just looks really low or the grass could be long
Well I think that doesn't account for the side steps as they're optional, it's only a little less than a Ford Ranger which has 237 mm
@BuckleUpShow not a bad truck for the money I used to love my old old proton jumbuck
I have put Falken Wildpeak AT 265x65x18, look and ride great, I actually did the same test on the grass uphill and was no issue going up with Falken Wildpeaks.
They do have hill decent, it's on the right side
It isn't very good
@BuckleUpShow it works well from a standstill, otherwise rubbish
