DASH TANK 300 Vs DASH JIMNY JB74 OffRoad

[@rodtaylor2280]

Very impressed with how little upgrades you have done to the tank and how well it did up those rocks 😊

[@JohnDorward-os4jk]

You know I recon these Tank 300s will be the iconic game changer in the 4WD world….similar to what Datsun 1600 and Subaru WRX did for cars. What you have done is shown what some simple but effective mods can do. Great work guys excellent video.

[@DASHOffRoad]

Thank you for the comment and watching 💯💯💯

Spot on! THE OTHER COMPETITORS HAVE SOMETHING TO WORRY ABOUT NOW 😂 I wonder how Jeep, Suzuki and Toyota Hopper Mini Cruiser will compete?

why? what new it has? guzzling engine? problems with shaft? Сonstant knocking steering? Weak front gear? 322kg payload? Or what?

Танк 300 начали продавать в России 5 месяцев назад. Я себе его купил в ярком оранжевом цвете практически сразу как он начал продаваться. Автомобиль великолепен и на дороге и на бездорожье :)

[@wwbren]

The shorter wheelbase certainly worked towards the Jimny's advantage. But sometimes you just need to have a larger car.

[@林振华-t4v]

😂 High way driving for example. I feel nervous when I first driving the JK unlimit on highway. The amount of concentration required is actualy lot more than driving a Civic. Lol

[@RicknMorty85]

That tank looks so clean from the side view, looks like every off-roader combined to form a supercar.

[@DASHOffRoad]

I know what you mean 😎

[@MrObvious125]

At the 15 minute mark, the jimny took a much easier line, im impressed by the 300, it took a much harder line and still got up

[@lincantro]

Even so, the Jimmy is more modified, higher and even though they apparently have the same tires, being higher makes the maneuver a little easier, the Tank is superior in 4x4 capacity but that Tank needs to lift a little more and some larger tires and better grip, plus it shows that the driver still does not have that much experience, look at Savage Tech Au or Do it in the Dirt and you will see the real capacity of a Tank

[@raxbenetto]

I saw the jimny driving through Menai the other day which caught me of guard a little seeing the dash off-road signage

[@TheDimmy666]

Great video Mr Dash, love the Tank 300 but it is not a 3 year old platform. It started life as the Haval H9 in 2015 (6spd) updated in 2018 with the 8 speed. H9 birthed the Cannon ute then the WEY Tank 300. Think FJ cruiser sans Prado. Sadly no one in Australia brought them, even at $43k drive away.

[@mihasikPOFF]

The Tank 300 is a real SUV and the Jimny is no match for it.

[@FJUH]

That Jimny is sweet!! Hopefully they bring out the 5 door. That would be a good comparison (modified of course) vs the Tank.

[@shizenjapan]

The 5 door is already out, but only in India. I do not think it is coming to Australia though, unless something has changed

[@easonqin1931]

great vids! plz show more vids when u hang out with tank 300

[@bboy349833591]

Awesome video! Tired of how some people talk trash about the Tank 300 just because it's made by a Chinese brand GWM. Your videos simply show the facts that the car is just as capable and offers incredible value for money. Keep it up.

[@DASHOffRoad]

Absolutely 💯

[@Tim-turbo-o]

I have to say that the short-wheelbase Jimny really has a great advantage in climbing rocks, but I am still very satisfied with the performance of the Tank 300. After all, if I drive it myself, I will never drive on such an extreme road. I more need an off-road vehicle that can take my family out for light off-roading. It has a higher wading height, a higher chassis, a handsome appearance, and the Jimny is too small, so I don’t need to drag an RV. Tank 300 is very suitable.

[@cyclemoto8744]

I don't believe the tank has a high enough payload capacity for the following: family + cargo + heavy mods such as bars

[@Tim-turbo-o]

[@kelvind181]

another great video thanks. I'm certainly keen to see what these are like in 12 months time and interested to see how GMW handle their warranty claims. Hopefully they've learnt what not to do from the likes of Jeep and Ford. All cars will break at some point but it's the aftersales service that is key. Will it be an awesome thing to own for 5-10 years or a nightmare? Time will tell.

[@林振华-t4v]

With mod, I think lot of things wont covered any more. Unfortunetly

[@JesseHMR]

Funny seeing all these comments with huge names and numbers that are all commenting only positive things about the Tank and there is the same on every video with a Tank in it. Not fishy one bit and definitely not bots haha. Jimny is just an absolute mountain goat, it's ridiculous how good it is. Tank looked decent too but really looking forward to the 5 door Jimny. In an Ideal world, a 5 door jimny with a little more umph would be insane.

[@aq3614]

The tank will blow away Jimmy for interior comfort and features and space, while not losing on the off road capability

[@JesseHMR]

@@aq3614 The Jimny has never been about comfort and interiors, the same goes for a 70s series. You buy it because you want a simple, reliable capable car for off-road. The Jimny which is tiny next to the tank has pretty much the same GVM, that's ridiculous. The tank is going to be a car that is used 99% to drop the kids off at school for mums and dads that want a car that has an off road look but when you actually look into it, they have cut many corners on it: Rear control arms are very slim, the mounts of the control arms are something you would see on a small SUV, Sway bar completely exposed, the exhaust mufflers are just waiting to be torn down on an obstacle... then add things like: the break tests where the back wheels lift up, which is insanely dangerous. Im sure this car will do well as its a style people like but don't get conned it's mainly as drop kids off at school SUV especially with that ridiculous low GVM weight

[@aq3614]

@@JesseHMR @MatazVerbier I am sure you haven't seen what the most experienced 4wd driver do with these tanks in the extreme conditions and roads and deserts, it's been selling almost 3 years in China and still selling extremely well now for its class, I have been watching heaps of real life tests of them since its released in 2020. Jimny used to be very popular in 4wd market in China, now with tank released no one buys them anymore, I understand your love about jimny, but things are always changing over time, and most people's mindset cannot catch up soon enough

[@JesseHMR]

@aq3614 I don't think you get my point and you are ignoring all the major issues I pointed out the car has and any person with basic off-road knowledge would know this. ;). There's a reason Landcruisers, Patrols, Hiluxes etc reign king in tough conditions and people all over the world living in hard climates use them because reliability and parts availabilities are king. As you say, the tank is similar to a Jimny with options, mainly for wannabe off-roaders, its GVM is terrible to be taken seriously. You can barely pack your camping gear and have 4 humans in the car without being over the GVM. Toyota will be releasing the Mini Landcruiser, that's something to watch.

[@steveh5814]

Mate I'm keen to know how all your mods will affect the payload? I'm guessing you'll put a custom steel rear bar with tyre carrier, custom front bar (already done I think), rock sliders, snorkel & Airbox, bash plates, tow bar, roof rack, etc. Your payload is going to be about 2 passengers after all these bolt ons. I know you're all about pushing the boundaries, but you're pushing into legal territory with Al the extra weight. Judging from the construction of this vehicle, I. Think the 400kg payload is very conservative and some relatively minor mods can build in a decent safety margin. My concern is all the people who'll buy all gear with no idea of how it might affect the safety/dynamics of the vehicle and the pack in their 3 kids, solar setup, fridge, cooking and camping gear and then head down the highway with their 136kw tune. I get you're in the business to sell gear, but you need apply some ethics here and help to also educate your customers. BTW, cat converters provide a very important and regulatory function of reducing deadly oxides of nitrogen and other elements that kill kids, adults, animals and everything else. You have kids right, and you love em right? I like your channel, but encouraging you viewers and customers to delete something that's been implemented to save lives and the environment you enjoy so much is irresponsible, full stop. You got plenty of extra power from the increased boost and retune. A cat delete was unnecessary and unethical. I know you won't like to hear any of this because it interferes with 'your' profiteering and personal fun, but I reckon it might be a bit refreshing to see a channel that doesn't just encourage deleting pollution reduction mechanisms and tries to work a little bit harder and smarter to help ensure a future 4x4 fun legacy for the kids we love so much. Doing the same shit as everyone else is boring anyway, right?

The non EV will get an instant 158kg GVM increase I'm now told due to not having the extra weight of the batteries and EV motors, that pretty much rear bar, front bar and sliders instanly cancelled.
