KGM Musso Review & Why Does The UK Government Hate It? | 4K

[@willross7121]

These things are incredibly under rated, absolute pearla of a ute, very happy with my purchase 🇦🇺

[@maxtorques]

Bit of a hidden secret aren't they?

[@TheHayabusa09]

Watching your review from Australia and bloody brilliant! Here in Oz we don't get the roof rails which come pretty much standard on every other ute, great for mounting roof-top tents, but do get HID headlights and electric glass sunroof and 7-Year warranty. Those blanked off switches are for the lane keep assist and radar cruise control.

[@maxtorques]

Glad you enjoyed it, odd we don't have the same specs considering we're both RHD markets. Thanks for clearing the blank buttons up for me too!

[@MICHAEL-wg2lh]

Love the musso , great review mate

[@maxtorques]

@MICHAEL-wg2lh thank you much appreciated 👏

13:45 - Why are these changes to the way double-cab pick-up trucks are being taxed being introduced, so they are now classified as cars and are subject to those higher BIK rates?

[@maxtorques]

@@joshbacon8241 you would have to take up that question with the Chancellor of the Exchequer

I've just bought a 3 year old pre facelift Saracen, Absolutely love it. It is actually based on the Rexton. Hence front seats are heated and chilled with Nappa leather and why there are blanks here and there. The tub is much deeper than normal pickups too. If you are not a badge snob you can pick these up at very reasonable prices used as we did. The only negative and you didn't mention is curb weight. Because it's over 2 tons, it's classed as a commercial vehicle which means 50mph on single carriageway and 60pmh on dual. Not a problem for us as we bought it for caravan towing duties.

[@maxtorques]

@clanmac66 what about hybrids and EVs over 2 tonnes? Do they not still qualify as cars despite their weight? I thought this qualifies as a commercial vehicle because of its 1 tonne payload?

[@stefanfalldorf6573]

Great review, thank you. I have seen lot's of pick up tests from North America, Australia ans South Africa. And this was the best european and one of the best overall. Great you gave us all the payload and GVM as well as name the automatic brand. Someone mentioned in a different review that there is a automatic locking differential at the rear. Do you know something about it? Greetings from Germany A new subscriber

[@maxtorques]

Thank you for your kind words. In answer to your question yes they have automatic locking diffs. An EATON Mlocker is mentioned a lot researching it

[@stefanfalldorf6573]

@maxspooner63 Thanks for answering Max. Do you also know if GWM will bring the Cannon Alpha to europe? They look very interesting and are sold in Australia and South Africa.

[@maxtorques]

@stefanfalldorf6573 I spoke to a senior member of staff from GWM. Currently the only introduction they know of is going to be Xpeng and Haval to the UK market. Not heard of the Cannon Alpha so my assumption is they won't be at this time especially given the change in pick up legislation.

[@Lookbusybuddy]

Colour combo good.

[@maxtorques]

Yeah I think the green really suits it

[@ajonnieq2002]

Those Blank's on Steering Wheel. I don't care Or Want to Know... I Suppose it Could be for Lane Assist. I Don't Have That in my 2023. & Glad i don't... They are a great Vehicle. Elx Xlv. Brilliant... 13:55 Beware Where You Buy Fuel. If You Do Get Bad Fuel, You Are in For A World of Pain... Old Ground Tanks, FORGET IT... $$$$$$$$😢

[@maxtorques]

Fortunately we have really robust legislation on fuel quality in this country so that won't ever be a problem

[@asiimwedesignagedeux1252]

Interesting to see KGM 🇰🇷. Is that Musso - Saracen in TDi 🛻 spec?

[@maxtorques]

If by TDI you mean diesel then yes it is.

[@asiimwedesignagedeux1252]

@maxspooner63 Great. We gotta stack up finances then

[@charlesflouvat1829]

I just need a Toyota champ pick up

[@maxtorques]

Not something offered over here but looks cool. I'd like to try one

[@rob6255-j4t]

The UK government dislikes anything on wheels. R

[@maxtorques]

Does feel like that at times

[@Cardioid2035]

Well I personally hate it just by looking at it

[@maxtorques]

hate is a strong word

[@Cardioid2035]

@ yeah you’re right it’s just super ugly

And there was me thinking you would take a kinder view point 🤣
