Great to see a you tuber like Chris delivering the actual offroad content and answering the questions that we have been waiting for. As the vehicle is stock standard it takes balls to do it alone without a winch. Great content, keep it coming.
Who would’ve thought advertising your company would be so fun, cheap, potent and organically industry disruptive. The new world is paved by ordinary blokes like you. How good is it to watch!
No stress, great fun, had a reason.. needed 2000km down which we’ve done now in 5 days hehe, now we can start tow tests, and have highway fuel economy down. Heads up… tow fuel figures my guess are going to be very well in the 5-6kms to the litre though!
Bro what a clip! The way it flew up that sand dune. I want to say I respect you and Sarah very much and keep being you. I CANT wait to pick up my shark in two weeks, I spec'd the adds ons, but Sarah and your passion is exactly what I feel with the shark. Thanks for being you brother
Word! This is such valuable info. I test drove one today. They did not allow me to test it off-road. So this info works to build my confidence. Gonna order one next week.
Looking forward to your next video🤠A little suggestion, you can ask Sarah to use a drone in the car to film your driving, so she doesn’t have to run around.
This is Chinese BYD first time to make a pickup truck ! Imagine how good they can improve next next next . Not bad at all. If you donot have much better choice , then support it so that they can go go
Would love to know the long drive fuel economy , say a melbourne to Sydney or Brisbane with refueling and recharge on the way up . I’m very interested in the shark but BYD’s reputation on warranty issues isn’t great , the infotainment system and instrument cluster/ screen have a 60000km warranty so replacement $ would be interesting to know
I can attest to warranty issues are been handled slow, unsure why it seems due to limited service centres and access to stock. Asked for full set of CVs as spares to order, am told 3-6 month wait. Unacceptable to me as a person who intends to go remote with this soon, no spares for the common failures - not a good start but it’s fixable by the manufacture if they act soon.
@@tyzon00800 made do with a phone holder on its side haha, last minute XRS660 purchase as no quick CB solution yet - this vehicles LACKS the aftermarket world, no blanks for switches no real good spot to mount anything.
Stock suspension at 40psi corrugated rippled gravel tracks, shark absorbs well!! We dropped to 30psi to see how much difference and not a lot, then we hit sand tracks down to 18psi. The biggest thing is about managing shock temps, more movement more heat build up, suspension can take it and make it a nice ride but don’t go hard prolonged periods, probably would prematurley kill the shocks. Lower pressure will help, 9/10 for the Shark suspension from me as factory for 2,000 of driving distance done in all sorts of conditions.
This is an interesting ask because clearance is sealions worst issue, I did some trial and error in NSW and the smallest step give it front end body contact. Real sand could be an issue if clearance than traction capability, I will eventually test this but not at big dune.
@@SevenMacEleven that’s gonna be a hard one for an Victorian hahaha! I’ll take it through 1/2 meter water crossings to see if water eventually finds it way into the battery if that’s what you are asking.
back in the day everybody has concerns about EVs range.but now ,i bet everyone must wondering about the batteries degradation on heavy usage.does it gives more mileage than normal i.c.e vehicle upon needing to replace the new batteries vs major engine overhaul. they (byd should sent some units to timber company to collect some data.
Approx $25-30k for a battery change, 8 years 150km 70% degradation warranty but even then as long as you had 50% car would run entirely fine on hybrid the battery acts as a buffer more than anything for normal operation, you’d be just losing EV only range over time.
That I am not sure of yet, low amp 12v system, the low voltage battery on board small as.. considering a 12v 100ah system to ac dc charger and connect to fridge as that’ll then switch to dc when 240 turns off, and back to ac when Shark is on which will also recharge the 100ah, then could run winch run back to the front but a lot of messing around for this - only preliminary thoughts I am unsure what BYD have considered offically I’m watching Ironman for this info.
@@Johnvincent-t9n I will try and find something today, but no promises there as can’t think of one on this side of Victoria I know of. Next weekend it will be in the high country so more chances to get answers in that area. Other RUclips’s in QLD have done steep hill walks with success and no issues though, I can’t see any expectation for any issues at this stage with 2,000km of driving down in mixed conditions.
I hear there is a software fix coming for this for camp mode anyway, you can connect a cable to the EV charger port and use that set inside computer on dash to provided v2l for up 24hrs but Ute ports inside no configuration it looks.
When people see how good it is to have fridges etc running off the battery it's going to kill Hilux/Ranger... We will all breathe better without Diesel pollution.
@@peterachilles9346 no need to ask me, I didn’t say anything about air pollution. But while you’re on the topic, if you’ve ever been to Asia you’ll most certainly see the air pollution. China has significantly reduced air pollution over the last 10 years
@lengerer ive been to bangkok and seen thedense smog in the city and they were all peteol vehicles. If I ever go to china Ill have a look myself but I doubt it would be any better than bangkok thailand
How much crap have you got on your windscreen! Talk about obstructing your view, what an absolute joke! I hope you get done for this type of stupidity.

Thank you 🙏
Between you guys and Savage any doubts that game is over for Ranger and Hilux are being erased…
These tests were done in such terrible heat, so thank you and your BYD Shark 6.
Thank you for taking the time to comment!
Who would’ve thought advertising your company would be so fun, cheap, potent and organically industry disruptive. The new world is paved by ordinary blokes like you. How good is it to watch!
We try to make it not so in your face, but it’s true.
Killed it! On ya for getting out there ASAP to show us some off road action.

In the full version you’ll find we got it out finally for a fly, a bit cautious as you know… Karen’s.
If only the Shark 6 ran on the bottled tears of Ranger and Hiilux owners, the ultimate renewable fuel!
👍 that’s priceless 😂
This is friggen awesome.
Great job! Thanks!👏🤙

the fly situation is crazy
Yeah… worse than our last trip through Simpson desert haha
So are you willing to comment on the shark test on the other channel that said the shark could not go up steep sand slopes?
Awesome guys

Lower pressures increase puncture resistance; no need to fear sticks any more than you would with higher PSI.
That's what I was thinking, lower pressure would have the reduced the risks of punctures in any condition.
Risk is sidewall tears with road tires, little strength in them.
Where did you purchase the cb radio screen holder from

Did the roads out there have many corrugations? Am thinking of getting one through novated leasing. Great work!

Great hands on review.
The flies were bad! Did you swallow any??
Not me, Sara did though 😂🤳
Try it with the sealion6. I would love to see how it handle the sand dunes.
Me tooo
Me 3

@AllTerrainActionEV Thanks for response. Maybe not up dunes but on some soft beach sand.
Can I still wifi to mini from inside the Shark with roof mounted starlink. Concerned about wifi thru metal roof.
Yes, full bars minimal signal degration. Full version video from the weekend has a 1 minute chapter on that.
does it have always on 12v in the rear of the ute or in the cab?
@@AnarchyEnsues nothing in tub, in vehicle like a normal car haven’t checked rating yet but can only assume 10a and off at vehicle turn off.
Can you do humidity tests as well thanks
Specifically how so?
@@AllTerrainActionEVI’m guessing he mean test it out in Townsville I mean now atm but u know what I mean

Is powering a winch going to be possible somehow?

@AllTerrainActionEV only cos I've seen one get stuck on steep hill i thought maybe he had wrong drive modes or something like that
I have just ordered a Atto3 as my first EV, do I cancel and order a Shark? Your spending my money.
For sure !
I would 😂
drive the atto 3 for 2 years, then buy Denza B5, much better than the Shark 6
@@liuyangyangbao 5 gonna be a lot more expensive but yeah I'd saved up for that.
Depends atto 3 very different to a shark for use case reasons, but shark 6 definitely has goodies if you want to go camping or do some towing!
Blue is best.
Yup
One more video to confirm... too easy for noob like me > 100% getting this one
Do you want to know anything specific?
@@AllTerrainActionEV 1. EV ONLY range? 2. Fuel efficiency ? Thanks
That no 240v without the car on is disappointing
