Should You Buy a GREAT WALL STEED? (Test Drive and Review)

[@ThePianoCentre]

Couldn't fault a word , another good review , well done 👍

[@HighPeakAutos]

david kenyon Thank you! 👍

[@SteveLancasters]

@@HighPeakAutos I have to agree with David. I watched this video as I was considering getting a ute - I used to have a family that relied on a passenger car, and now they are older and no longer reliant, so I wanted a ute to move things to and from my house. I got the Steed in AU. Feels like Im driving a Ute. Handles just like a Ute. Because it's a Ute. And I saved like 20 grand compared to other brands that had comparable extras. Im in no hurry to complain - and plus, I have a shiny new car :)

Yep. He takes it to a new level doesn't he. Great Wall is one of the largest vehicle manufacturers in the world and he didn't know that? They produced and sold over 1 million vehicles worldwide in 2016. Lastly, if a vehicle doesn't appear to fit into his narrow functional requirements, he bags it. One of the worst reviews I have seen in some time. 🤔

[@paulparoma]

@@53glowe Give the guy a break. Great Wall is a big player in China and Asia, but it's still largely unknown in Europe and the US. It does not matter how many units a manufacturer has sold if those units have not made it your way: You won't know it exists.

[@winstonmace4865]

GWM has been an established brand here in South Africa. The Steed is based on the Isuzu Rodeo you mentioned The 3rd, 4th and 5th generation Isuzu Dmax pickups were all used as the base for various Chinese brands such as Foton, JMC etc. The GWM Hover or H5 SUV is an old Isuzu Axiom from 2001-2002. GWM have sold a number of pick up trucks or bakkies as they known here in SA but are still a minor player, compared to Hilux and Ranger sales. In SA its also a value purchase and they are very popular with construction and agricultural businesses.

Oh wow, didn't expect anyone to know these, have barely seen any of them and they started in the euro market from a factory in my home country (Bulgaria). In 2012, Great Wall Motors went into partnership with Litex Motors to produce these cars for the European market, started with 2k cars a year and went all the way up to 5k a year in 2017... and then Litex motors bankrupted xD. Great Wall cars were supposed to be a big hit in eastern Europe due to the quite low manufacturing cost, the only rival at their price point was Dacia. Keep in mind that the average age of cars on the road in eastern Europe is like 15 years, less than 3-5 year old cars are about as rare as supercars in UK... You see some in big cities, but that's about it. However, initial reviews of Great Wall cars were quite bad. I remember an early Bulgarian review saying you should also buy a gas mask with your Steed, as some exhaust fumes somehow get into the cabin xD. Also, we were baffled why they started with the Steed (a pickup) and marketed it heavily. Pickups are super rare in eastern Europe - predominantly narrow streets and not enough parking spaces, so it can be a tight fit. Plus, economy is important here as fuel ain't cheap (compared to our incomes). For example, minimum salary in Bulgaria is 325 Euro, average is about 500-900 depending on whether you live in a big or small city, while 1L of petrol costs about 1.1 Euro. Even if you can afford it and need a lot of space, judging by what I see on the streets, apparently 99.9% of people prefer to get a ~10 year old crossover or SUV instead of a new Great Wall steed... or any other pickup. I travel to rural places in the mountains for holidays and pickups aren't popular even there. I think the closest place with plenty of pickups is Crete (the greek island), it's full of Toyota Pickups, but I doubt they'll enjoy Great Wall's reliability record xD. PS Great Wall also makes buses, we have quite a few of them in our public transport fleets.

I live in South Africa and have had a Steed 5 - 4x4 for 6 yrs, been to Namibia/Angola/Zambia/Botswana most of the time on gravel roads, i had a few problems under our 3 year warranty but for the remaining 3years have not spent one cent on the vehicle except for normal service items, not the best pickup on the market but for the price you pay nothing to beat it, will keep it till it falls to pieces, so handy to throw all your garden rubbish in and not bother about scratching it, as a side note the engine was developed by Bosch with Bosch electronics, all drive train is Borg/warner.

My bosses son for example, the family who own the estate are worth an absolute fortune, lovely people, could go out and buy a Porsche if he wanted, went and bought a ford ranger, simply because his mate on site has one. I will never understand these people.

The engine itself is terrific and I couldn't fault it, gets used as a daily and work horse, and tows heavy loads no problem, everything else on the other hand is utter garbage 😅 it's ridiculously slow, the clutch is terrible (an after market, heavy duty clutch fixed this issue somewhat), it's already started to rust in multiple parts of the body (I live off the coast in a tropicalish part of Australia), the interior falls apart just from looking at it, hell the list could on for hours, but I still prefer it over a Hilux, Navara or a Triton 😅

I live in North America and your absolutely right, pick up trucks are stupid. I should know, I owned 3. Finally purchased a Mercedes Metris (Vito). Pick up trucks are used for status for the working class. It has nothing to do with practicality. The phenomenon of the pickup is exactly that, a phenomenon. Vans are quite a bit more to purchase than a truck if you compare apples to apples in North America. But the practicality of a van far outweighs the extra cost in tool storage, organization of materials etc.

[@Keepingitrespectfulmostly.]

I have to admit I have never heard of these until now. I saw a great example of a Ford Ranger for sale at my trusted dealers for almost exactly the same price. If I had the money I prefer the Escalade.. Even over a Lincoln Navigator. Just need a frigging step ladder to check the oil n water and a good lotto win for the maintenance, fuel & running costs. I happen to like it and the price is not too steep.

Of course, most probably the engine is not made in conjunction with Bosch, the stability control comes from Bosch, which is common on most cars.

[@RealWorldCarReviews]

Fair review of the truck, but saying pick-ups are pointless is really daft. There’s a reason so many are sold, and it’s because the majority who buy them will use them properly: ie, able to take a 1 tonne bag of sand/gravel dropped in the bed with ease, go off-road to site with 5 workers in, have a crane or forklift/telehandler unload you, get everything you need done and get back off site without getting stuck. And they look way better than a van too

[@HighPeakAutos]

[@beerbellymotocross1996]

Just a quick point on the use of pick ups, they are basically the modern and only option for farmers these days. Defenders are super expencive now and getting older, the new one looks like a disco 4 with a body kit. All other modern 4x4s dont have the rugged basic interiors that arent going to get wrecked, places to chuck bales ect, and towing ability. They are also common for use for work on solar farms, wind farms where required to gp offroad with kit. Just getting kit out the back is a pain and the ride is so poor...

[@HighPeakAutos]

Yes you're right there

[@TregTube]

You are right in that no one knows what pick ups are useful for. If you are a townie. If you live in the country then you don’t understand how people live without a dirty, bouncy, grotty stinking pickup truck that looks like it could give you an infection just by sitting in it.

[@jjs3287]

Pick ups will either fit with someone or they wont. Because of their unique design they have to be able to jump through quite a few hoops to qualify as a daily driver and so for most wont fit this role very well. Thats why so many have had multiple short term owners. But if you are lucky enough to have the money and space for a second vehicle for hobbies then a pick up can be useful. But also consider that the design is improving all the time and in my view the very latest and best just might make a good alternative for the outdoorsy family over the more traditional SUV you see parked in the national trust car park.

[@noamzacks3315]

At face value it's a well equipped budget truck, providing you don't expect a day's 'graft' out of it. The two ton towing capacity quoted in this informative but possibly 'naive' video highlights its major shortcoming compared with pretty much every other 'one ton' double cab pick-up on the UK market. After a day with one of these towing a horse box with a 1000 litre IBC filled with water (for B+E training purposes), the poor thing reeked of burning clutch and brakes and hot, over-worked engine. Great as a cheap truck for the gamekeeper to pootle about the estate but for towing a loaded trailer, give me almost anything else .......... except possibly a Vauxhall Brava.

POINTLESS 🤔 what about if you work gundogs? Have you ever smelt the back of a shogun that has carried working dogs for a season? Plus you would have had to have been in the same cockpit you can never get rid of it either, not all double cabs are manual the automatic boxes in the ranger, V6nissans and V6 Amerok are silky smooth plus they can all get a wriggle on.LEG ROOM I drive it so no problem 😉 plenty of room for my kids. Most transit Van's cant tow 3.5 ton or go where any of these trucks will plus BIG downside Every pikey in the southern hemisphere is either waving at you oy trying to nick it! Basically horses for courses I've driven double cabs since the early hilux they suit my lifestyle perfectly GREAT review as I would expect and I agree with some of the comments just thought I would make a case for some of us lads that love em 🤙

In the middle east it would have a Browning 50 Cal or rocket launcher on the back.
