I have travelled over 61000 Kms - Not a single issue. I bought brand new GWM Cannon 4x2 in early 2022 and still going strong. Best investment for a ute.

Investment might not be the right word, resale value is absolutely awful if you buy one new, i just got a 2022 with under 30,000km for $21,000, thats almost half price from what it costed new in 2022

Hahah mate awesome review as always. You were actually the bloke that made me bite the bullet and buy a wuhan warrior when I seen it get towed around Australia. So far I’m only on 2500km. When I heard that your car was going in for warranty issues and you seemed a little stressed, it started stressing me out ahah. I’m glad that it wasn’t anything too serious and that it all got covered under warranty. Anyways good job with the channel man, I really enjoy these videos. Also, this is a bit random here but heres little tip that I know with the cameras that not many people seem to know. When the cameras engage or if you turn them on you can actually manually switch to what camera you want to view on the right side instead of just seeing the front camera. You can do this by double tapping on the 360 degree camera. So if you want to see the left side camera, you double tap on the left side of the 360deg car camera and if you want to see the right side of your car, you double tap the right side of the 360degree car camera and the same goes for seeing the front and back cameras. You can only do this if the camera mode is in the 2D mode not 3D mode. Just a random tip that I thought you might find handy/cool.

You’ve actually taken all your gear back off again so you must’ve had some weight issues did you like the wheels? You’ve put on it? Looking forward to more updated videos as you go along.

Bit like our old Great Wall X240. Did nearly 300k when we sold it. Bugger all issues that i could not sort(ex mechanic) but nothing major. For most of its life it spent in the APY Lands, treated it badly. I did a few minor mods, lift kit and good shocks, snorkle(yep it would go swimming out there), zoorst. It actually handled better that my work 200 series, except for the power! It also never went back to a dealer, no warranty issues. Was part of a Great Wall forum, we found fixes before the dealers did, but the dealers did get a bum deal from the importer(ateco).

I have a October 2020 built Cannon base model with 125,000+ kms on the clock... First registered Feb 2021 so ive driven it over 3 years now. It has been flogged etc ive not had major mechanical or minor issues. Ive used this car every single day since owning it. Been on and off-road many times. It spends nearly every second weekend on the beach and i still havent washed it and its not rusting away. However i did notice you mentioning what you do when your driving on the beach and you mentioned you only turn traction control off and sometimes run the difflock. I did see on your clips when your getting stuck your loosing drive because your centre diff isnt locked.... You should hold that traction controll buttong for 5 seconds. This will help you massivly on the beach as itll lock the centre diff ybat way if one of your wheels spin in the rear you will still have drive going through your front drive shaft. If you run the transfer unlocked you will only get drive shaft driven power to the diff if you have lost traction. The difflock on all the time can cometimes work against you if you have to turn as it can dig you in etc... but yea just a good tip

DPF is a pain, since I swapped with my wife, its needing manual burns 2-3 weeks. Purely from poor software programming waiting too long to start, and too sensitive to interruptions. We just do a manual burn when we know we can't be stranded now. Its just a placeholder until we can order a new 250 GXL now, sold our 150 in 2022 at peak resale and still have the coin.

Hey mate, love the honesty in your reviews! I'm 5000kms deep into my 2023 X and just love driving it. Bought it because I was on a budget but found it the best bang for buck at the time. I'm thinking of getting a camper trailer to supplement the lifestyle options I made when deciding to buy the Cannon. I want to do more beach fishing and want that camping option that comes with a camper trailer. Light weight compared to a caravan and also more in line with my budget constraints. Do you have any thoughts on what I should be looking at, especially when it comes to tow weight given I really would like to pull any camper trailer on the beach with me. Love your work bro, keep it up with the content ❤

Good vid mate, I have a very similar fuel issue with Cannon, just done 24k the service department at GWM Hillcrest says they can't check and analyse the fuel pump or fuel pressure because I have a throttle controller (Savage) installed. I get the humming noise from the fuel pump, and when it comes down to about 20 litres in the tank, the fuel delivery issues to the engine is starting to get sketchy. Overall, the car is great, but the service offered is not.
@wheelsbytheocean
@wheelsbytheocean Ай бұрын
@lukesplace2538 hey mate, yeah I agree. The service departments aren't giving the best 'service' at some dealers. It took 3 goes to get the fuel pump replaced. I have found that all GWM Cannon fuel pumps whine and I think it's pretty normal. Even though my new one is now very quite. But all the Cannons I service I hear the fuel pump noise so wouldn't be too concerned about that. But your starting issue. If it's slow to start and just keep cranking when it's low on fuel it's a fuel pump issue. Seems to be a common thing on these. I have heard from a few people now. Thanks mate, I really hope yours gets sorted. Just take lots of vids etc. Remove the throttle controller when taking the car in for warranty stuff. Any manufacturer will look for aftermarket stuff like that and try to get out of warranty. A throttle controller doesn't do anything except for speed up your pedal to throttle response time so that's a stupid thing to say.... but yeah. 🤞

Great review. My 2022 CannonX just clocked over 35k kms and hasn’t missed a beat. Got a problem with power? Go get a SWDiesel fuel control module (or whatever it’s called!) and your problems will be solved. I have no relationship with the company, I just know the modules work. I’ve had two in two different diesel vehicles and wouldn’t be without one now. Not cheap, but made in Germany says it all. Tell Steve Chris Morris sent you. I do have one question though: How did you get the Apple CarPlay display to have the little icons (and the clock and phone charge state) on the right hand side of the main display? Is it in the settings on the iPhone or the car settings? It’s got me beat! 😢 The German ZF transmissions are adaptive, that’s why you feel it change so well - it’s got your driving style worked out! Doing donuts probably didn’t help though 🤣🤣 I run Continental off-road tyres and feel the transfer box Torque-On-Demand clutch working its arse off when I go a little hard because the tyres are so grippy. I’ll be getting the oil changed at the service next week and see if it makes a difference. I’m not sure if you know but when the oil is changed the clutch pack needs recalibrating due to the change in oil viscosity. All done with a good Diag Tool. I use AUTEL. All the best and Stay safe out there 😊

@MrCooldudezx hey mate. So from what I was told by a head gwm tech was the adaptive cruise uses wheel speed for how fast to travel etc to adjust distance to other cars. As soon as you put bigger tyres the car wants to just crash into the car in front haha. It's soo annoying hey because I loved the adaptive cruise control but it's useless with the bigger tyres. They also told me that it can't be calibrated either. Hope this info helps somewhat. If you go back down to 265/65R18 it should fix this.... hopefully. I don't believe it's a height thing....

If you let it go too far no matter how many active or passive regens you do they just won't burn the soot, DPFs are just trash.

​@ellioandtkane4443 it was a hire truck, my guess it had been abused and people turning off the regen or didn't let the regen to finish or didn't have a proper service. When that happens the regen will come on often and it will take longer for the regen cycle to complete and after a while wont work properly. Unfortunately most hire places as well as car yards don't either know about dpfs or how to use them. I have been to car yards and asked the sales person how to do a dpf burn on the vehicle i am looking at and they had no idea. So I just walked away.

In your video, you mentioned getting around 16 to 17 kilometers per liter while towing a 3-ton van. However, I’m only getting about 10.6 kilometers per liter, and that’s without towing a van. Have you done something to improve your fuel economy? My driving has mostly been around town with frequent stops and starts. I’m not sure if that would account for the 6-kilometer difference I'm seeing. Any advice you can offer would be greatly appreciated.

Hey guys. Yeah with the van on we are usually somewhere between 16 and 19 L per 100. But when driving without the van on we are usually around 12-14L per 100km because we are very heavy on acceleration. 10.6 is pretty good. What were you hoping for out of curiosity? Thanks

Glad you're having fun with it, its great to have a car that you get in and it just brings you joy. Seems to me that if you bought one used, out of warranty with that highly taxed 2l diesel motor it'd be falling apart on you by 150k. I'm surprised that its got just 120kw and you reckon it pulls a 3t caravan up a steep hill doing 80, my GU Patrol ute's supposed to have 118kw its got a heavy steel tray, full toolboxes, 3.4t and man that thing struggles in 3rd up some steep hills. Same for the 1KD - 3 litre hilux, you put a canopy, some tools and strap a 2 axle trailer on and you're lucky to make 3rd going up some steep hills and that's '126kw' factory. But yeah, definitely not like those crapbox cars they first came out with, a lot nicer, but I'd be worried about longevity and resale.

Yes I hear you mate :) Yeah the motor is a bit underpowered but the 8 speed gearbox is where it's at. The 8 speed does all the work really. It's amazing how well it's towed. And yeah I've had all the older diesels. It's amazing how far they've come. Resale goes through my head but I'm gonna keep it for 7 years so not too fussed. Even if it's worth 10k in 7 years it's still around the same you'd loose buying a ranger or hilux. Ish Cheers mate :)

Awesome Vid. Watched it twice! Initially from Bris myself, now up in the bowen basin for work. Currently looking for a dual cab ute and im almost sold on the new Cannon XSR. Aside from the power/ lag that i'd get over, it seems like a solid buy. I'm curious on your opinion about the upcoming Hybrid Alpha. Specifically, its viability to be an offroader with its limited payload and its Hybrid setup. Does the vehicle interest you at all?

Thanks for watching mate!! Appreciate it. The XSR is pretty awesome hey!! I drove both the diesel and the hybrid Alpha. The diesel is right up my alley! I love the Alpha mate and I'd definitely buy one. The Hybrid was nice and quick and has all the 4x4 features you'd need. I'm just a diesel bloke haha

@ethanmanz7631 the interior in the Diesel one was very much the same from memory just missing a screen I think. Ahhh it was too long ago sorry. And I was driving the tank 500 the same day so it's a bit blurry Sorry mate

Question I’m not saying your cannon can’t tow that van but with a GCM of 5550 kg and your Cannon has a kerb weight of Approximately 2000kg and let’s say you are towing 2800 kg Subtract your van weight . Kerb weight and tow ball weight from your Gross Combination Mass and you would have less than 500 kg up your sleeve for passengers and luggage and modifications tow bar Bull bar etc .. I imagine you are cutting it fine. May be you can and or had a gvm upgrade but generally that doesn’t change your GCM. If the gcm was say 6050 like the LDVT60 that is still a 3000 kg tow limit you would have a bit more up your sleeve. Just curious .. been enjoying your videos 👍

Yeah I hear ya mate. Out setup was legal before we added all the mods on. The Cannon is good for 3T Towing if you keep it stock. We are trying to work things out and we've almost got it all back to legal. Getting so close haha But yes, what's your saying is all correct. I want the new Cannon Alpha. It's got 3.5 T towing :D Thanks for watching along mate!

For the seat 💺 boulster, the average little Chinese man would only weigh 47.4 kilograms, upon testing they should’ve used a fully grown red headed Queenslander 115 kilogram variety to wear test the seats over time?

How many klms you get out of a tank with and without the caravan on? I'm planning a trip from Melbourne to Sydney and back and wanna try work out how many times I will be stopping to fill up

Hey mate. I've never really watched that. But you can calculate with this. I average 12L per 100 without towing (I thrash it) And when towing we get 17.5L per 100 Cheers mate Hope that helps
