GWM TANK 500 OFF-ROAD ADVENTURE & SICK BUILD KICKOFF!

[@coastalprimitive5919]

Saw one in PNG in January this year. Man looks amazing. Made my prado look like crap

[@SavageTechAustralia]

Hahaha you in pom? My cousin's going to bring one back to pom 😎 He's sick of his Prado lol

[@coastalprimitive5919]

@@SavageTechAustralia yes I am, brought my Prado from Sydney to Pom when I moved here . Your Cousin must be rich, awesome 👍👍

​@@SavageTechAustralia👌keep it up mate.

[@trdjamz7446]

Put my money on GWM Cannon but changed my mind, sticking to Tank 500. Makes my Prado looks ancient.

[@RoyFJ65]

As an FJ Cruiser owner, I am envious of your Tank 500. Seen quite a few of them when I visited China last year October.

[@SavageTechAustralia]

Nice mate! Both are capable vehicles. Just the tank 500 has all the luxury mod cons and features.

[@Alan_Monty]

Got mine on order, can't wait. I'll high 5 ya around North Brissy.

[@Toubabou]

The leaps and bounds of Chinese manufacturers is simply incredible. It won’t take time before they become untouchable

[@brendanlesko2306]

Mate well done on the video!!! This is exactly what I want to do to mine when it arrives . You’ll be seeing me at the workshop . LFGOOOOOOOO

[@clantralok]

Sweet Ride bruv... Tank 500 all the way

[@morrisongao852]

Tank 500 if they can all be considered Chinese gems. You get a chance to come to a Chinese auto show to browse Chinese EVs, you'll be amazed beyond words. I guarantee it.

[@SavageTechAustralia]

100% just got back from china and yes it's insane the cars have to offer.

[@scarekro5]

That front grille is sick. 100% better than the chrome.

[@SavageTechAustralia]

Thanks 😊

[@robertaimckibbin5749]

Is it a wrap on the grill to black it out?

[@SavageTechAustralia]

@@robertaimckibbin5749 original grill is fully stripped and painted. But now we have a new grill coming. On my car in the shorts on our KZbin channel. Can order at savagetech.com.au

Great video, thanks!!!

Daaayyyyyummm!!! Those mods are totally sick!!

Thanks🙏

Tank 500 blacktrail, nice car

[@ianweal3081]

Wait to see bullbar but blacking the front end out certainly changed the appearance

[@SavageTechAustralia]

Yeah it 100% looks much better but I still dislike this grill. We have new design grills coming can't wait to swap out. And install it built at the same time😁

[@ac27v]

@@SavageTechAustralia Me too - dislike the front grill regardless about its performance lol

[@andrewliao2580]

Cool videos mate!🎉🎉

And it quick to get good price and unexpected function! 6 week you can get it 7 years warranty. 🎉🎉

Another trip with Jeff and you will be taking it up Little Red lol!

Nice video 👍

Thanks 😁

[@JettoGospel]

Wow that black one looks amazing!

[@godcetywayo3530]

Damn, I'm so thrilled with I came across this video. You have just sold the GWM Tank 500 to the masses and naysayers out there. I've long been sold on the GWM brand as a whole. I've watched many reviews all year long on GWM vehicles, and this one is just the cherry 🍒 on top, and with that, you've earned yourself a new subscriber from the Southern Tip of Africa (Republic of South Africa🇿🇦).

[@cyclemoto8744]

Thank you for sharing. I'm still scared to delve into the universe of GWM (although I appreicate you saying that they are a step above LDV). My concern is longevity. Cheers

[@godcetywayo3530]

You're scared for nothing, mate. I know people who have been driving their GWM Utes for 15 years now. Starting from the Steed generation. I'm South African🇿🇦 by the way.

[@cyclemoto8744]

@@godcetywayo3530 Some context would be helpful. For example, I know people who have been driving modern Land Rovers for years but that doesn't mean I'm be willing to own one due to the reliability and cost of ownership. Cheers

[@udithabandara4432]

[@rammoreno3859]

where to buy this new headlight mate😊

[@blairr1875]

Bought one of these bad boys, picking it up in 3 weeks. When are your grills coming out. Would love to buy one?

[@SavageTechAustralia]

We will pre order on the website this week. They should arrive in 8 weeks

[@hardycui7088]

how's the ride quality on your 20inch compare to stock 18inch

[@ronnel1227]

spot on with the cruise control distance, shortest distance is probably more than 6 cars

[@SavageTechAustralia]

I know it's so ridiculous, and especially when cars merge in front even 3 car lengths in front it smashes on the brakes. Hopefully it can be updated by GWM.

[@Stevegrande1]

U think they will bring out a series 2 anytime soon ? I don’t like buying the first of any new model till they iron a few bugs out

[@TheHayabusa09]

When are you guys going to supply the O/S versions of the front grill? The OZ spec looks awful!

[@WarrenMcleod]

Is there a GVM upgrade for the Tank 500? By the time you put wheels, bar and the dogs in the car with a van on the back, pretty close to being over I am thinking.

[@takhochan4247]

Great video! Any mods coming for the Cannon Alpha Hybrid? Can't wait to see your review of that truck!

[@M21two]

How's the ELK and LKA on the 500? It's a tad aggressive on the Tank 300, was great on the Cannon.

[@mickspecial]

ELK is a pain in ass - gotta turn off with 6 steps each time with Tank300. They need a shortcut

[@PaulMathias1]

I did LOL at the wheels.

[@netsiteing]

Wish we could get Tank 400

[@SavageTechAustralia]

I drove one in China it was a nice car, we will have our video uploaded soon.

[@ronaldchua3197]

Tank 700 are the best of all

[@Velvethunter]

Before and after fuel economy?

[@SavageTechAustralia]

We get around 14 with wheels and driving easy.

[@RedDog-e7v]

A 15 year old v8 falcon gets better fuel economy

[@58kessels]

Hi, I'm keen to find out what happens if the battery is flat. Does it significantly affect off-road capabilities?

[@SavageTechAustralia]

@@58kessels no because it charges quite fast in sand and mud mode.

[@58kessels]

Thank you​@@SavageTechAustralia

[@orangejuicepony6881]

I reckon you could move that mic about 10m away from you if you are going to yell at us for the whole video. Cool car though.

[@SavageTechAustralia]

Yeah we had issues with not noticing the gains on the mic were maxed out. Also was in mono mode sorry about that. Hopefully the volume knob is easily accessible 😜

[@user_unknown_not_found]

😁😄😆😅

[@ngolinyirenda6421]

I literally listened to it w my headphones on the table, he's so loud ! 😅😅😅

[@blairr1875]

Did you guys put the car into sand mode when driving on the beach? Or was it just 4h and reduced tyre pressure? Also what tyre pressure do you recommend. I only have the stock tyres on mine ATM. Thx guys

[@godcetywayo3530]

​@@blairr1875I'm not sure, this is just my opinion, but I think they did put it on sand mode and reduced the tyre pressure on both terrains.

[@georgekritikos957]

The May one they said they fixed the glitches. Don’t get January or the march models

[@dn059]

Is it solid rear or indipendant like the y62?

[@lylegalloway4545]

When you changed the tyre size could it fit in the spare tyre bay? What an appropriate size for the tyres?

[@Airwane]

where did you get the parts for the modification.?

[@SavageTechAustralia]

savagetech.com.au

[@mickspecial]

Does the HEV drive similar to the T300? Better or worse you mentioned you didnt like it in the 300

[@SavageTechAustralia]

It is more refined in the 500. I prefer a straight 2.0lt if it came in this option as the hybrid integration could still be improved in certain situations but overall driving it normally is fine. Overall it's a fantastic package and nothing really completes with it.

[@mickspecial]

@@SavageTechAustralia cool hopefully tuning can improve the 300

[@知-k3q]

​​@@SavageTechAustraliaTank 500 is V6😮

[@SavageTechAustralia]

@@知-k3q v6 is not in Australia but thanks for the advice.

[@M8YM8]

Hey mate, what's the payload like? I was really keen on the Tank 300 until I saw how low the GVM was.

[@SavageTechAustralia]

We can do gvm upgrade in Queensland will increase it by 150kg. So will be 547kg

[@aarons6935]

Payload on 500s is 790kg which is more than a prado.

[@gregspencer7111]

G’day mate. Does it actually need a lift kit or non standard tyres/rims if it’s only used on black tops and occasional dirt and Bribie access track (not mud tracks etc)? Interested in your feedback please. Strongly considering the 500 over the Everest Sport for which we have a 12 month old order with Ford Thanks

[@SavageTechAustralia]

Not at all mate! out of the box very capable on the beach no issues. The suspension will just improve the ride quality and performance and help with clearance.

[@lylegalloway4545]

Have you tried to attach a tow bar?

[@SavageTechAustralia]

No tow bar available yet

[@DCA001TUBE]

Love the Tank Unreal car. Can us Canon guys come to the Bribie do on the 18th of May? Please🤩

[@danielremo3550]

Looking at this car as a weekend camp setup. Do you think it has any decent spots for a built in compressor and dual battery?

[@SavageTechAustralia]

Will be doing this shortly in ours

[@netsiteing]

Blacked out grill does look better … wish there was one that had a different design to make it look nicer

[@308_Negra_Arroyo_Lane]

It only you could get your hands on a Dongfeng M-Hero 917 or Yangwang U8 to play around with.

[@SavageTechAustralia]

Don't worry when they come to Australia we will👌🤩

[@andrewstewart1644]

Hey! I've just joined the FB group and looked over your website after watching this video. I'm looking to purchase either a Tank 500 or Cannon Alpha (once available) within the next 2 months, most probably from Kedron also. The Cannon Alpha is particularly appealing as I'd like a ute and it's very similar to the Tank 500 in many ways including the petrol/hybrid drivetrain option. Would you be offering mods for the Cannon Alpha do you think? I'd be keen to reach out with you at some stage to discuss as I'd like to invest in some essential mods.

[@SavageTechAustralia]

Hi Andrew, yes we already have plans for our Cannon Alpha as we have one on order. So don't worry at all there won't be a shortage of parts from us. We have a few electronic rollers on the way over at the moment to kick it off.

[@andrewstewart1644]

@@SavageTechAustralia Love it! great to hear. I'll reach out when the time comes to discuss further :)

This is question I want to know

[@RedDog-e7v]

The same value as a used condom

[@Lindsay.Harrison]

Great vid! Car Looks good. The dealer told me they were changing the grill because the Australian market didnt like all that chrome.. obviously you got the original and then wrapped it. Do you know if that's true that the brand new cars coming over will have a changed grill similar to overseas variants?

[@SavageTechAustralia]

Yes I've been told the same thing as well. However until we see what we get we don't really know. We painted the grill but it will be swapped out for the new grills we have in the way much nicer looking design.

[@hunterhomeservicesracing6453]

What is the suspension kit worth

[@scottcochrane638]

Greg vid bit to loud champ

[@BobParrIncr]

Too much bling, they should tailor it for our market

[@SavageTechAustralia]

Those days are over mate we are in 2024. If you want simple buy a 76 series.

10l+/100km 😮. It easily gets underpowered with 7 occupants in it..imagine if you are also towing... disaster 😭 no thanks

I can’t believe you actually put chewing gum on the monitor, not only did you dirty the monitor but you can just go on the infotainment screen and switch it off 🤦🏻‍♂️

These things are mean! But the manufacturers are going way too far with technology and unnecessary 'safety features '

[@SavageTechAustralia]

I agre! but unfortunately it's all part of the new crash testing rules.
