[@gotrybrandnewtube3928]

[@creamcheese7845]

A day will come when these will be everywhere

[@Life-b5z]

I’ve had mine for 12 years hasn’t missed a beat I run mine on 95 or 98 it’s done 320.000 on the clock and only done 3 oil change It’s awesome to drive and comfortable been to WA four times👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼😎

[@Drivecomau]

Great to hear your Steed is going strong after so long. Why don't you drop us an owner review and go in the running for a $100 fuel voucher: www.drive.com.au/submit-owner-car-review/

[@zacandmillie]

I have a 2009 Great Wall 240V I bought new. It's been OK with just a few issues. 1, It broke a clutch spring once and it was a slow limp home trying to change gears and 2, it blew a head gasket and it cost almost what it's worth to get the head reconditioned. It struggles to pull a loaded 8x5 trailer up hills. But it has served me well for what I needed it for. These new ones look ok and if I wanted more of the same for use I'd consider but I need better towing ability so I'll be looking to a Ford 3.2 Ranger, a Mazda BT50 or a Toyota Hi-Lux SR.

[@snitz157]

yeah the earlier year great wall v series was garbage, they worked on them and got them better by 2011 or round about

[@Reznor_Meeks]

as ALL car manufactures, the first 10 years or so are crap, give them another 5 years, and you will see, the chinese dominating less expensive car market, just as the japanese did back in the day, just as korea now with hyundai & kia subarus their first cars specially in the US would rust to the frame, they were absolutely crap, i also remember hyundai 15 yrs ago were much worse than great wall, look at them now... do i like it?, no, i wish the national car makers such as holden and ford (even tho they arent really aussie) would learn the lesson they have been schooled in every corner of the world as far car pricing goes. Mcdonalds would never been a giant by selling $20 dollar burgers.

[@rizkyp]

Elbowz agreed and more competition always good for buyers.

[@CylusHorny]

Elbowz actually they've already came out with one of the fastest phev suv, the BYD Tang. 0~100 in 5 seconds with just 2L/100km. plenty of drag race videos in youtube

[@SuperApeFight]

Points for that insightful comment. I find it very amusing when people knock the Chinese car industry, as they did the Koreans before that, and the Japanese before that. You'd think people would've learned from history just a little...

[@coopsnz1]

Great Wall still dog shit

[@coopsnz1]

Hyundai aren't cheap anymore

[@LPJ2]

It is a mega classic brand in China becuause of its increcibly durable enginnering design compare to its price, I think the same principle aplies to the inernational version, by which I mean : For such aan affrotable price, it is really incredible to get such level of durability and engineering excellency!!! If you planned on spending only so much on a pickup and you want the BEST OF THE BEST quality in the world, choose Great Wall, it is really the quality king in the lower price range of a pickup, worldwide!

[@muchaho8378]

@Phil Zappa only broke ass trailer trash trade in their car lmao

[@nickcoulter7201]

Add 20" wheels and cooper tyres and body roll disappears. Had the first & second gen and now the Steed. Love it

[@goclunker]

Nick Coulter i bet 0-100 takes 30 seconds with your 20"s😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@Hazardbone]

@@goclunker and good luck going off road on 20" rims😂

[@sugarnads]

Rofl coz the wheels and tyres have any effect on body roll. Thats a SUSPENSION issue clown.

[@SEEYAIAYE]

Work was chuffed when they found a Great Wall Turbo Diesel Ute for $4500, not even a year later and literally nobody wants to drive the POS, the thing has been bogged in sand so many times because the Turbo has to think for 5 seconds before it realizes you're mashing your foot on the accelerator. I feel bad for anyone that would take these offroading. Literally the old flogged crapped out 90's 2WD Holden Rodeos and Ford Courier Utes we have are far more capable at offroading than that hunk of junk. People have good reason to hate this crap.

[@philem68]

These are now $19,999 with a 5 year warranty. Very good value.

[@kenbroadway6547]

Nissan only gives 3 years or 36K mile warranty

[@lachlandowsett1720]

As of now, I’ve got a 2016 Steed, for the price I paid, I can’t fault it, it’s been a great car and it’s been one of the comfiest vehicles I’ve owned

[@kenbroadway6547]

I'll be honest, they are coming along pretty well with the GW Steed. I'm looking forward to its entry here in the U.S. The truck market sucks here. You literally see the same 5 or 6 trucks on the road everywhere you go. They are all basically the same...and a normal person can't afford them. It would be refreshing to see a well built truck at an affordable price again.

[@snitz157]

maybe try import one?

[@BenzinioB]

Well but spending 10 grand more is over 1/3 of the price of the GW... So saving this 10k and selling the Steed just after the guarantee expire you can by yourself a brand new petrol one... that is a huge difference! more over as far as I know the 4x4 models gearbox is Borg Warner, which is quite common and reliable and the diesel engine is based on the Hyundai last generation 2.0L diesel which is also quite good... yes they have a lot to learn in terms of fine tune and building quality but boy... 10 grand are quite a lot of money!

[@super_slav91]

Yeah but it's a borg warner made under licence in China, not the same quality, same as the engine.

[@8700s14]

In 3.5 years the $30,000 Great Wall will be lucky to be worth $10,000, whereas the $40,000 Triton with 1.5 years of new car warranty still remaining will be worth $20,000+

[@coopsnz1]

Isuzu Dmax 4x4 $40000 3 litre 430 nm torque

[@coopsnz1]

6 speed manual dual cab

[@rayg9069]

Why complain about lack of power at 110kW ? That's more than any 20 year old ute including Toyota ever had, plus the Great Wall has an extra gear, that's what gears are for. Big hills or big loads change down, or doesn't anyone under 35 know how to drive manuals any more?

[@jamiep61]

If I was a Australian looking Into buying a Ute then I would choose the Mitsubishi Triton

[@puterausman7682]

[@garyfleming5156]

[@SteveOnlin]

holden ute

[@Mrcloc]

It is very good indeed. I'm loving mine, just waiting for the suggested run-in period to end. Keeping the revs low is tiring. It's so refined, lovely on the road, especially on the highway. It has more than enough up the hills in my opinion (my previous car being a BMW 320d). Going on gravel, it feels just as smooth and refined as on-road. It's quieter and a little more comfortable to live with than the BMW, although the BMW seats quality is definitely a bit better.

[@Okayokayshane]

Long term it’ll be tough. Parts hard to find, reliability patchy, Resale zero. I hope it works out for you but fundamentally these are no different to the first generation product they put out

[@petercameron8832]

In 2010 I traded my triton ute on a Great Wall v240 two wheel drive ute, still have it going fine. The tray will carry more than a tonne of blue road screenings without sagging in the arse like the triton used to. It was cheap to changeover also, I recall it only cost me 79 fat lambs!

[@jeffestrada6857]

Trouble is everyone is spoilt here in Australia in regards to expectations. Also we as a society are very critical. After owning the Great Wall ute range for the money there is absolutely nothing wrong with them. Agreed a bit rough round the edges but as a work vehicle and a general runabout I would (and still do) own one these 👍

[@sktfan3843]

Damn this is beautiful new dual cab.

[@specialized29er86]

Thanks for the honest review, I was interested in one until I see your clip.

[@drift-trainnz]

[@0slattz0]

maybe the Foton is a better buy with a better engine but Foton aren't advertising at all.Are they the same Distibutor? How does Caradvise compare the two? Foton with Cummins or Great Wall Steed?

[@rayg9069]

Foton is much more expensive more off road biased truck

[@gator448]

Any advice on purchasing a used 2012 great wall wingle single cab..200k mileage...its pretty cheap and looks great but not sure about its reliability...any advice will be appreciated...thanks

Hello can you get them in automatic or just manual???

[@ssu6440]

Everytime there's a review on chinese or asian cars, there's alway gonna be a group of xenophobes who needs to write their overgeneralised + hubristic hatefilled comments cowardly fully behind their computer.

[@rsoul7282]

hell dog don’t worry, I have owned enough Chinese people to well and truly have an opinion of them.

[@ssu6440]

You're just proving my point as a salty commentor - people who respect other ethnicities wouldn't be making those narccistic comments.

[@rsoul7282]

Michael Dragor I am not frothing mate, it is just amusing to watch how instantly insecure your common Chinese gets with the slightest provocation.

[@Elaine-qe1ul]

My problem with the great walls is their safety ratings. Out of 37 points it only scored 16.49 which is two stars not something to br proud of particularly when it is uncommon for vehicular to get less then five.

[@rsoul7282]

Elaine defensive and nationalistic Chinese incoming..... please, if they don’t appear rational, understand that that is par for the course, you racist.

[@123fourfive5]

They need to get their 2L Turbo Petrol from the H9 into this

[@koresiqasevakatini3254]

Like the steed but can't bit the wingle7

[@PlatinumSan]

How is the reliability or fuel consumption on this? Does anyone have an idea?

[@MrAntimationStudios]

10L/100KM for petrol and 9L/100Km for diesel. I'm pretty sure they use Mitsubishi engines so they should be fairly reliable. My boss owns a V240 and it hasn't given him any problems (and it has had a really rough life). If you're looking to buy one, drive it first, and compare it to how other models like the triton drive, and decide for yourself if the better driving dynamics are worth the extra $10K.

[@Foozefighter]

[@wotsup9oo]

I don’t think there is xenophobia against asian cars. This is still bad. It’s getting better, but still no good. Japanese cars are today more trustable than German cars, which are not bad but they have a non justifiable price compared to the failures they show and they are chosen by people who are either show boats or speeders. The American are now at the 3rd place. I think Chinese cars will be growing in credibility for the next decades and who knows in 30 more years we’ll be buying them as we buy Toyota, Honda, Mitsubishi or Nissan.

[@gheufbfff]

Mate there is no Japanese made cars. All the other dual cab utes are either made in Thailand or korea lol. When you buy a ranger or a Hilux or an amorok they are all produced in Thailand.

hhhmmm i own a v240, and swore i would never by another great wall, mainly coz ppl would take the piss outta me for owning one, but 4 yrs later iv spent 20 k buyin the car and nothing else, seriously not 1 cent has gone towards a garage coz somethin has crapped out. so now im looking to buy a 4x4 and iv looked at everything you can buy in aussie, bar the great wall, then just 10 minutes ago it occured to me that i could buy a "crappy omg fuck no" great wall and then use the extra 30 grand iv saved on not buying a "omg its a mainstream" 4x4 and mod the fuck out of it saving myself, prob still 30 grand. thoughts on this idea??

[@goclunker]

netslave you should spend the extra money on bullshit rehab

[@gheufbfff]

By an ldv mate. That are the best Chinese utes that are being made.

[@super_slav91]
