That Tank is so capable!!!

[@GWMTANK]

It's been awesome! Really starting to test it's capabilities over the next few months so stay tuned!! 🙌

Getting mine on monday a fossil grey petrol ultra...cant wait​@@GWMTANK

I’d say you have more wheel travel than our Jeep Commander … well done

Great video mate, love watching tank content

[@GWMTANK]

More to come! Please stay tuned 🙏

Great track, great vid

Thank you! It was really fun to drive 😊

A friend just picked up a Tank, looked nice. I saw the front and rear diff lock buttons but how does the centre diff engage?

[@bencameron3009]

There is no centre diff

[@bencameron3009]

There is no centre diff in the petrol

[@ShaneB666]

@@bencameron3009 That never crossed my mind, so rear wheel drive until 4WD engaged, unlike a say Prado that’s AWD until centre differential engaged.

[@squallsquall9669]

@@ShaneB666 only full time 4wd will have center lock dif tank 300 is part time 4wd

Hey, is your tank Petrol or Hybrid. What tyres are you running? Stock? What happens with the TPSM when you lower the pressure down to 20PSI?

[@GWMTANK]

Thanks for your questions, my tank is a petrol, I'm running a set of A/T tyres. When you drop the tyre pressures the TPSM alarms but you can cycle the warning away so it doesn't affect you

[@liang2512]

@@GWMTANK what size tyres?

[@andrebothma8850]

@@liang2512 looking at some of his other videos , its a 275/65/18, (which works out to a 32Inch tyre) Apparently you can go up to 34inch without rubbing. But that would compromise onroad perf too much IMO. It comes std with a 30,5" 265/60/18

[@gnangarra]

Looks great,

[@GWMTANK]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@ZenXav]

What model tank?

[@GWMTANK]

I have the Tank 300 Ultra in petrol. Awesome machine! Can't fault it!!

[@danielbathersby9650]

Has the tank be lifted ?

[@GWMTANK]

It has, I'm running the Sandkat 4x4 2" suspension lift

[@ojbarberena7090]

Id rather have beard the engine noise from the rigs than the terrible noise called music

[@GWMTANK]

At the moment I am filming on my mobile and all it picks up is wind noise. Definitely need to upgrade the camera so I can film with sound properly. Thanks for your feedback 😃

Will be interesting to see what the TEMU tank is like at the same age as the vw and Toyota. Seems pretty capable though.

[@squallsquall9669]

Considering the GWM Tank 300's reputation, it’s already proven itself quite capable off-road and well-built for the price, as many reviewers like CarsGuide have highlighted. Plus, with features like advanced off-road modes and a seven-year/unlimited-kilometer warranty, it offers a solid reliability package right out of the gate. Sure, Toyota and VW have longer track records, but for a new entry, the Tank 300 is holding its own impressively. Only time will tell about long-term durability, but early indicators show GWM has put some serious thought into making this vehicle both reliable and competitive.

[@shaun1900]

@@squallsquall9669 So you've just said what I said, but with more words. Well done.

[@tonesX7170]

TANK 300 has been around since 2020 in China. On first models there was a small oil burning issue as far as I have seen but that was quickly sorted. Since then owners have racked up many, many miles. No major recalls at all. So, so far so good. Toyota is having major engine failure issues, VW has had major engine issues (1.4TSI), Ford has has engine failures (EGR) issues. So, so far the Tank is fairing better IMHO. Yes I own one. No issues so far barring a couple software glitches.

[@squallsquall9669]

Let’s talk about the facts: many are quick to criticize newer brands or emerging markets, but history shows a different story. Remember when Toyota wasn’t exactly beloved? Now it’s seen as the gold standard, and people are willing to pay a premium just for the brand name. Interestingly, they’re facing some challenges now; for instance, Toyota’s recent recall issues with the twin-turbo V6 in other models. Meanwhile, Hyundai and Kia were once written off, but look at them now-they’re highly respected with solid market shares because they evolved and proved their value. China’s automakers are on a similar fast track to improvement, and they’re providing real value for the money. The pace of their development is undeniable. Yet some just don’t want to acknowledge that China is producing viable alternatives. Brand loyalty is strong, but ignoring quality and value from new competitors just because they’re from a different country? That mindset seems outdated.

[@GWMTANK]

Couldn't agree more 🙌

[@chopperpl]

The tank has no flex in front axle.

[@bencameron3009]

Cause it's independent front end

[@chopperpl]

@@bencameron3009 no brainer it is the independent suspension... The issue is it runs out of down travel much quicker than Prado. I've tried to find some factory specs on Tank's suspension, but it seems this info is hidden from potential buyers. Not trustworthy.

[@GWMTANK]

I lifted mine as soon as I got it so can't comment on the length of factory travel. I've never seen a manufacturer list what the factory down travel on suspension is, where would I go to find this information?

[@TankDrive300]

@@chopperpl silly comment

[@squallsquall9669]

@chopperpl While the Tank 300 has independent front suspension, which does limit flex compared to solid axles, that's actually pretty standard for a lot of modern off-road vehicles, even high-end ones. IFS gives better on-road comfort and handling without sacrificing off-road performance for most terrains, especially in sand and gravel. As for suspension travel, GWM hasn't 'hidden' anything here; it's just common for manufacturers not to publish every detail on down travel, even for brands like Toyota. Every suspension type has trade-offs, and the Tank 300 balances great ground clearance and off-road tech that handles tough terrain well, IFS included. Plenty of owners are already happy with its off-road capabilities as-is, and if someone wants even more travel, aftermarket lifts are always an option-just like with other 4x4s. For most people, the balance between off-road power and on-road comfort is exactly what makes the Tank 300 a solid choice.
