TANK300 owner here in China, had mine for a couple of years now, out exploring most weekends, regular trips to the Himalaya's, west Sichuan, Gansu grasslands, deserts etc. Great little car, biggest problem is being really economical with weight and the GVM... though its just me and the wife, which makes things easier... There is a Chinese brand RTT called EZNest, guy is selling them rebranded in Australia under Frog Captain, but its a hard shell, fold out, and comes in at 50KG, with a load more space than the GFC. Enjoy your travels anyway man.
Thanks Jeff - that is a nice looking tent for sure - and spacious! But we also wanted an awning, so together the Roofnest Litewing and GFC Superlight came in (exactly) at 50kg! How is your rig holding up after 2 years - any issues? Re: GVM - do you think the vehicle is too heavy for the type of off-roading you do?
@@TANKampers The EZNest lite comes in at 32kg, it's still a bit more spacious and means you can get a 270 on too just am fyi
Vehicle is perfect for us, I just went to 275/70/r17 KO2s, but no lift as they can be problematic witb police here... I think if you keep within the GVM and don't over top load you shouldn't see any issues off road - it has plenty of grunt.
Ive had no issues, other than a heavy foot, but I am keen to upgrade to the 330 next year... I want the street legal lift, re gearing, etc
@@JeffCleverley Oh wow! I did not even know about the 330! V6!! WOOHOO!! Hopefully they put the spare tire on a carrier! I can see they have a winch on it - I wonder if the bumpers are metal? Must be! So cool....now I have TANK envy.
Yeah - so you are right! at 32kg that would have been even lighter than the GFC! The Frog Captain site has them listed at 43-54 kg but maybe they embellished it - or - weighed it properly (LOL!) In any event - they look really cool and super low profile!
@@TANKampers the 330 is a version of the border, so steel bumpers, winch, lift, but also has been regeared for the larger 33 inch tires it comes with. No tire carrier though.
One other thing I did appreciate, even with all that, it's gvm allows 480kg payload
Привет из России! Отличный автомобиль и практичные доработки. Удачи на дорогах!
Спасибо Сергей! Увидимся на дороге!
Nice set up. I like the Otzi trasharu. I own the Otzi grill they work wonder. You diffenitly need mic, I can't hear with the wind noise.
Thanks! The funny thing is - we have both a Rode directional mic and DJI remote mics, but forgot to use them! Next time
The Ötzi grill is beautiful - we already bought one from Winnerwell so didn’t pick that one up.
Great review! Any chance of describing the installation of the air snorkel, as this is not featured in any Tank owners clubs, here in Australia.
Thanks!
Ye Hua Store provided us with two installation videos - I will see if we can upload those and share them with you. I had the work done in a shop and they knew what to do intuitively, and it does seem quite simple from the videos.

Nice setup!
What brand is the mount for the air compressor and switch/outlet?
It’s custom made by Ramy Automotive in Dubai!
Great car I'm thinking to buy the red one
Tell us if u had any problem with the gearbox get heated on off road?
None whatsoever! In fact it has an “off road cooling mode” setting to prevent it. It’s brilliant!
Have you tested it with some proper dune bashing? I have a BAIC BJ40 and I'm happy with it (after some mods done of course) but I'm intrigued by this car, especially since it seems some mods are cheaper for some reason and it has a 10 year warranty here in the UAE. What do you think about it going up some big dunes? what do you think about its power?
We have taken it out in the dunes and had no issues at all. We are not really into it so when you say “proper” - maybe not? But there are others we know who do and they are also the ones regularly doing many of the recoveries, so I think it is more than capable. Personally we think it is very powerful and are really happy with that!
We looked at the BAIC first and didn’t go for it only because our tall son’s head hit the roof in the back seat. I think you are right regarding mods - there is a very robust aftermarket market that is booming!
@@TANKampers Interesting, and I thought the roof clearing inside was good in the BJ40 ahaha. I don't do much of wadi or overlanding (only sometimes) but I do go often for dune bashing, so yeah I mean go up the big dunes. I have done some performance update on the BJ40 - (including exhaust, suspension, tuning box, etc.) and its quite good considering it is a 4 cylinder turbo, and that is why this one is attractive. Anyways, keep it up and let me know if you are around Dubai and want to join a nice dune bashing session!
how's the car, wanna get one, worth buying? Is it reliable in some extreme conditions?
We love our TANK and would buy it again! It is very reliable - zero complaints,
which tire size you are using?
Same as stock tire, just A/T
@@TANKampers You never thought about bigger tires?
Which company in Riyadh was Mounting the Snorkel and the Savagetech Lift Kit?
@@AlEx-lv8bu We did think about it, but for the type of driving we do, this size works perfectly and keeps the weight down.
We installed the snorkel at Ramy Automotive in Dubai and the SavageTech suspension at 4WheelStation here in Riyadh.
How is the A/C of the car especially with Saudi hot weather
@@AM-hs4bz It’s perfect!
What is the model and year of the car
It's a 2023 TANK 300 made by GWM (Great Wall Motors)
The tailgate needs to be strengthened, otherwise it will deform
Any ideas how to do that? That is why we take the bag and box off before we open to tailgate!
@@TANKampers The spare tire and door are separated, and a separate spare tire rack is made. There are many such cases in China that can be referred to. The spare tire rack is connected to the protective bar
@@TANKampersbrand:MEIKA
@@王姚-e4i We would LOVE that, but I don’t think we can install that with the steel bumper!
@@TANKampers There are many problems with tailgate falling in our country, you should take them seriously. They have all been dealt with in the later stage, and separation is the best way to solve them
I like the car and was thinking about it for daily and some overland trips. But it’s just too small. You are only 2ppl and a dog and look how many racks and boxes you need to add. For a family of 4 this car is just too small so I’ll have to go for a pickup setup…
Hi Adam - it is on the smaller side! If you check out some of our other videos you can see we made a multi day camping trip with our two adult sons - so it’s possible.
Our friends have two small kids and easily fit their family in with all their gear. Admittedly we have a lot of stuff, so it depends on how you camp!
@@TANKampers we decided to go with a ranger raptor diesel, since petrol here is 15% more expensive than diesel and tank was only available as petrol hybrid. Anyway how did you fit into this tent? I’m looking at tents now and everyone tells me 1.6m tent is too small for 2 adults and 2 teenagers…
Only two of us and our dog sleep in our RTT. Our boys were in a ground tent.
You would need an XL fold out tent to get 4 in there, no way to do it in a clamshell style tent.
Something like this

@@uandme41 our boys were in a ground tent as there is no way they can fit in the RTT with us. I think the typical wedge style tent would not be suitable for four people - however there are some XL versions out there, but I have not actually seen one and just going by the width of the car roof, that is your limiting factor.
You may want to look at the soft top fold out style tents as those seem to be bigger.
Promo'SM 😭
Why so sad?
