Good on ya Ruben, we got a new one some time ago, and it’s the grouse as is my GWM CANNON X, because I could then afford 2 great vehicles and still have cash to splash. Get one up ya, you will never be sorry even in 20 yrs, I’m a holden Chrysler ford bloke, but woke up , got smart like you and am LOVEN EM❤. Keep up the excitement champ
Swipe down on the infotainment screen, you can customise the shortcuts and add lane keeping. Press and hold lanekeeping to goto the exact spot in the menu to turn elk off. 😊
You HAVE to try the pothole mode. It is a full on electronic diffs lock like the Discovery. It senses slip and immediately sends torque to the wheel with traction. Amazing 4x4
I know but you would think it was labelled Butthole mode since every Aussie reviewer seems to see it, chuckle, then choose some other inappropriate mode, like rock mode when there are no rocks in sight.
That tank is such an amazing car! If you want to put more icons on your main screen than the 3 main ones, just hold tye screen fir about 5 swcinds and you can add different things, remove, etc. Super annoying that putting the car in 4wd doesnt automatically turn off the lane assist
Do the lift Ruben, all of us GWM AND TANK300 owners know, they are Underated, road tyres towing a camper up there ! There will be a lot of smart coverts to “the so called China shit “ you’re only going to save on an unbelievable modern age vehicle. Look at other brands after 10 or 20 years on, WELL, Korean, Japanese , etc were scorned then by ill informed people then, and still up there with the best available as now in 2024 , CHINESE tough vehicles, including MG,HAVAL, CHERRY, LDV etc.,will be the same. Get on to em, we don’t make our own shit ,so own some good shit now for the future,
Tou can hold down the traction control button to the right of the steering wheel and it goes into a off road traction control. I haven't tried it i just found it one day when i was mucking around.
@miguelpinochetcharnay540 you need to hold the traction control button to the right of the steering wheel on the dash down for around 5 sec and a message will pop up on the screen
i have generally found especially on sand that higher pressure in the trailer tyres is better than lower pressure, i have also asked a few people why they deflate trailer tyres, so thanks for the explination
Great job Reuben, Very interesting content and review - Would be interesting to see the same test with lift kit tyres and the hybrid version with all the extra torque and power at your fingertips. . When are you going to do a ute conversion chop of the Tank?
I enjoy your content but would be more pleasant with a Sound Editor. The loud music inserts and background don't match the less loud voice. It makes it harder to hear what is being said. Perhaps use a dedicated microphone? Just saying
I thought the music would cut out when he was talking. I had the volume on full, and the music was so loud I could barely understand what he was saying.
TOTALLY AGREE !!! Was going to post a comment saying same self thing !! COULD have been worse it COULD have been heavy thrash rock !! ( you know when there just screaming into the mic !!! )
Give some lift andcmudcterrain tyres, it wil, beat landcruiser any day. Got one with 15000km, best car and just 50k $. Would have wasted my money on a prado for 90k.
I have driven over 200,000km in Ford Ranger work trucks loaded to the hills and never had a single issue. They always got me home at the end of the day
GWM, the real test is after 100,000 km. And when something inevitably goes wrong, how long will it take to get parts. It’s great that you have an open mind on these things, but like all reviews on new cars, it’s the reliability that needs to be proved. I’ll be keeping my N70 Hilux for a while yet. 330,000km and counting. That’s a review ☺️. A good video nun the less. Thanks mate.
Don't be triggered but the video below shows 7 warranty GWM TANKS are dominating, your old Hilux is no comparison in the real world, keep your Hilux and let other people enjoy their reasonably priced fully equipped TANKS. They will do over 500000kms already proven many years and rigorously tested in China. ruclips.net/video/rWMg1Si7CQI/видео.htmlfeature=shared
Because of Tank's low price. I can buy a new Tank after its 150000km . and use the new Tank competitive with your 150000km N70. I think this more fair.
My guy, this was VERYYYYYYYYY good.... But YOU didn't study this car well before offroad, this car is WAY WAY MORE capable, it used to EXTREMELY DIFFICULT offroad conditions and it does them with ease... You need to study the car, thats all, so the fault is on YOU, the TANK300 is WAY WAY WAY more capable!!!
I really impressed with my hybrid, Greg's hybrid with lift and 33 drove beer o'clock Hill. Wanta do the same tow test with the hybrid version? Any chance of gvm upgrade from dwm?
The inconsistent throttle response when accelerating is really frustrating. It feels like nothing happens, nothing happens, and then suddenly it takes off. Sport mode is more consistent with throttle response, but sometimes it revs way too hard. I’ve also had issues with the car not turning off correctly. Even after locking it, the fans keep running for 10 minutes or more. Sometimes, when I get back in, there’s no startup sound or animation, almost like the car never fully shut down and stayed on via the battery. It would be great if they could give us a software update - I feel like so many of these issues could easily be fixed that way.
GWM are giving them 7 years unlimited klm warranty, so I suspect they want it to last your 5 years minimal + another 2. Read what you want into that but they're here to stay. GWM V200 & V240 utes released in Australia far more than 7 years ago, try 15 plus are still being utilised today and yes in the remotest harshest territory we have, outback Norther Territory. They just last, against all opinions to the contrary. Steeds would be well beyond 7 years old and still going, see examples daily still looking clean, tidy, and some cherished polished examples amongst them.
Mate im so surprised on how you can promote these shit boxes get back to the real 4wd Toyota's and Nissans and the Jeeps mate give it 100000km and they will show there true colours about them and to get parts for them is ridiculous
How do you know these are shitboxes when you have not seen them doing 100k. Do u think every new car is shit unless they have done 100k? People like you will rather promote shitboxes like Holden coz you have inherent bias
so basically, it's performing great now but it's a shit box because it might not perform well down the track even though you have no idea if that will be the case? Sounds like you're just pissed that your "real" 4x4's may have some competition at a fraction of the price.

TANK300 Is quite the under rated 4wd, but I think people are starting to catch on 💯💯💯
I'm starting to see them everywhere, they are becoming very popular!
Having one for over a year now, 90k on it. Every Friday doing dune bashing no complains so far.

Have to say "That this was one honest review" Very enjoyable and great camera work.
Savage is excellent with quick delivery and video backup
A decent set of All terrains and it would be unstoppable just about.
love your choice of words mate.... truly... more people need to speek more freely and openly.
Swipe down on the infotainment screen, you can customise the shortcuts and add lane keeping. Press and hold lanekeeping to goto the exact spot in the menu to turn elk off. 😊
Great tip thanks!
Yep. Here is South Africa we can turn off ELK and Lane assist permanently with the shortcut buttons. Does not reset to on.
Unless you have a HEV then you dont have that option
@@mickspecial oh, didn't know that. Wonder what the menu options are in the HEV
@@tonesX7170 on the slide down - not many i never use it. To turn of ELK its over 5 presses and swipes.
You HAVE to try the pothole mode. It is a full on electronic diffs lock like the Discovery. It senses slip and immediately sends torque to the wheel with traction. Amazing 4x4
I know but you would think it was labelled Butthole mode since every Aussie reviewer seems to see it, chuckle, then choose some other inappropriate mode, like rock mode when there are no rocks in sight.
@@phillipsaw exactly bro. So, irritating. RTFM !
That tank is such an amazing car! If you want to put more icons on your main screen than the 3 main ones, just hold tye screen fir about 5 swcinds and you can add different things, remove, etc.
Super annoying that putting the car in 4wd doesnt automatically turn off the lane assist

Good review, most haters have never even seen one in real life, its just ignorance in the most part, its cool to knock shit you aren't educated on ..
australias first tank ute chop
Tou can hold down the traction control button to the right of the steering wheel and it goes into a off road traction control.
I haven't tried it i just found it one day when i was mucking around.
Could you explain this better plz
@miguelpinochetcharnay540 you need to hold the traction control button to the right of the steering wheel on the dash down for around 5 sec and a message will pop up on the screen
@@smbmxable sorry for asking again, could you make a video showing it?
@@smbmxable this is because in my versión it doesn’t activate traction control in 4H or 4L, so I want to look what are you meaning
Is your towbar stock from GWM?
i have generally found especially on sand that higher pressure in the trailer tyres is better than lower pressure,
i have also asked a few people why they deflate trailer tyres, so thanks for the explination
I agree::as they are not driving wheels and won’t dig in keeping the trailer on high pressure means less drag resistance.
Great job Reuben, Very interesting content and review - Would be interesting to see the same test with lift kit tyres and the hybrid version with all the extra torque and power at your fingertips. . When are you going to do a ute conversion chop of the Tank?

COULD have been worse it COULD have been heavy thrash rock !! ( you know when there just screaming into the mic !!! )
Excellent video good on you letting us know that Chinese cars are not bad at all I hope that will be a challenge and another great video thanks
Give some lift andcmudcterrain tyres, it wil, beat landcruiser any day. Got one with 15000km, best car and just 50k $. Would have wasted my money on a prado for 90k.
We have a full build happening on it soon, so keep an eye out!
Resale price will be borry though
I'd rely on a Chinese car before I'd rely on a Ford to be honest
Yep 😂😅
Sad but true
Ford.
found on rubbish dumps
Everyone I know that has had a ford have all had problems.
It's the same as Toyotas Nissan etc there all shit nowadays.
😅😅😅😅😅
I have driven over 200,000km in Ford Ranger work trucks loaded to the hills and never had a single issue. They always got me home at the end of the day
This beast needed DMW gvm upgrade
I am converted brought mine and loving it great car found Sports steering mode lessens the ELK coming on if you forget to turn off
I BOUGHT it then brought it home.

It is a good toy.
Camper way too top heavy with rooftop tent.😂
You would actually be surprised, with the water tanks and the cargo quite low, its actually pretty well balanced.
@@dirtymuddyweekends of course common sense, even if it had 2 roof top tents you would say the same thing, its well balanced..🤣
How did the tank go towing on road with trailer in your video i want to tow a caravan what are your thoughts cheers
Look forward to seeing someone do a tank 500 and canon alpha tow test. Good video
Will the Tank 300 go fully EV?
It seems that's the way the world is heading
If you need more low down torque try out the hybrid version. Pretty sure that'll give you all you need.
plus many issues. The HEV has be a nightmare for me.
Could you take the fuse out to disable the lane control
What brake controller are you running innthe Tank?
My guy, this was VERYYYYYYYYY good.... But YOU didn't study this car well before offroad, this car is WAY WAY MORE capable, it used to EXTREMELY DIFFICULT offroad conditions and it does them with ease...

Hey man great to see you trying out the tank. I'm a local were about"s is the track you were on?.
Super secret test track ;)
The cat doesn't care what car it is, it'll sleep under any car 😂
U really should add some footage of the cannon aswell. Not much out there of them off-road
See how long it lasts after five years
We have 7 Chinese cars in our company and over 3 years zero issues.
GWM are giving them 7 years unlimited klm warranty, so I suspect they want it to last your 5 years minimal + another 2.

No issues we have plenty of customers with over 200,000
I’ll bring my tank also.
Bloody ADRs and the mandatory safety systems.
The implementation in GWMs is bad, but they are not alone!
Anything is great when you get it for free
Nothing for free here!
The front lights on that car look like a pre USSR old military car !!
HATE IT !!
Maybe get rid of the Highway tyres it would probably preform better
A full build on it will be coming soon so keep an eye out, then we can see what it can really do!
Good trailer review. GWC SAD
Didn’t you read the instructions manual
Did he fall out with 4wd24?
Shame if he did that was a good mix up !!
To expensive to advertise on that platform now
