It’s ironic you raise the payload as a negative. 790kg is substantially more than you get in a Landcruiser 300, Y62Patrol, Prado, Everest or any other direct competitor that I am aware of. In fact, it’s up there with or better than the 1500 full size trucks from the US as well. The payload on the Tank 500 is therefore one of its relative strong points.

[@CarExpertAus]

That's a good point. It's just worth pointing out given it has a 500kg lower towing capacity and it was called out in the Tank 300 review that we didn't mention it. We'll be including this in all of our reviews moving forward where towing is a factor.

[@AidanCran]

For many many years, the 200/300 series could tow 3500kg, so say 10% on towball, that would leave you only 260/300kg payload remaining which is literally nothing for what most would say is the best and biggest tourer. This 790kg payload is probably the biggest when comparing similar type of cars (not utes)

[@oliviercoulon5196]

Just admit you stuffed up and correct the record. The payload in a Prado post 350kg of towball weight is almost unusable.

[@wozzach2540]

TOYoda and its marketing department does a great job at lying to all customers.

[@peterj5751]

I simultaneously love and hate this car. What a car. Such great value. But just what we need, even more people able to drive ridiculous behemoths on the road. On the tailgate thing, I understand the issue of needing a tailgate's width behind the car to open it. But is it really much more than a lift tailgate where you need a tailgate's height behind the car? Plus with a lifted tailgate there can be problems with low ceilings, e.g. a multi-story car park. And with a swing tailgate you can partially open it, which is less of an option with a lift tailgate. Not sure. I've only ever had hatchbacks.

The new Alpha I test drive the other day had a "one Button" option to switch off all driver monitoring. Not sure if this is an update and available on the Tank 500 as well?

Why do you test with tiny coffee cup and massive water bottles

The GWM Tank brand has always had a good reputation in China, especially tank 300, which has achieved great success in China. The interior design of tank500 is great. But in terms of appearance, I personally hate the huge chrome grille frame on the front face. In addition, I can tolerate the ugly new logo of this brand, but I can’t stand the fact that it makes the logo on the front face so large, which is completely wrong and fails in proportion. Other performances are pretty good.

Those to things are the only problems?😂

@@NoOne-qr8yf For me personally yes

[@NoOne-qr8yf]

Wow ok .the fact that its cheap crap doesnt concern you at all?

[@Tim-turbo-o]

@@NoOne-qr8yf When it comes to Chinese cars, and other products made in China, everyone outside of China seems to have no trouble judging them as low-quality, cheap junk. This kind of conclusion, without any actual testing, only based on online videos and prejudice against China in the past decade or so, seems even more cheap. I don't care at all about the opinions and views of other foreigners. In addition, if the current cars made in China are really rubbish, why are Europe and the United States so nervous that promoting Chinese cars on TV and the Internet all day long will lead to the bankruptcy of their automobile industry, and even raise tariffs to restrict them? Are they fools?
