2024 GWM Ute cab-chassis 2024 review - dual-cab 4x4 Cannon CC-L test
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 2 июл 2024
- This could be the tradie ute bargain of all time.
The GWM Ute Cannon-CC range offers buyers a choice of two 4x4 dual-cab diesel utes with a tray included for around $40K drive-away.
You get a tray thrown in at a no cost, too, and there are two specs available - Cannon, and Cannon L. I tested the latter here, and it's the easiest $2500 justification.
There are plenty of amazing elements to this ute when it comes to the value on offer, and some things that really let you know you didn't buy a Ford Ranger, VW Amarok, Mitsubishi Triton or Isuzu D-Max...
Watch on and let me know if you agree with me in the comments.
ALTERNATIVES:
Isuzu D-Max - • Is X-Terrain the 4x4 d...
VW Amarok - • Best tradie 4x4 ute? 2...
Toyota HiLux - • Best 4x4 dual cab ute ...
Mitsubishi Triton - • Mitsubishi Triton 2024...

I'm at 69000 KMs in my Cannon L and no issues, no creaks or squeaks, still looks new inside and out. I'm getting around 8.6 L per 100kms. Highly recommend.
That’s great mate. Thanks heaps for having your say.
supporting the CCP

I got my Cannon X in January 2023, now I’ve put 44,000kms on it. I doubt it at the beginning since even being a Chinese guy I didn’t own a Chinese car before, only Japanese cars because their reliability. Will see how my X goes for the next few years, but for now it never let me down yet. My average fuel consumption is 9.6 per 100kms at the moment.
Thanks mate. Love this feedback!
Had my X for 2 years, tows my camper to Fraser fine, slogs through soft sand for 50km or more at a time with 1.5T out the back, fits my family of 5 in it for 1000km road trips, no rattle, nothing has stopped working, and the leg room in the rear is sooo good! Seriously why the f%%% woudl you spend more on a Ford that will need warranty repairs and glitches fixed.
Great to hear from a genuine user of this rig. Thanks for adding your take on it!
What’s the payload? Family of five and a 1.5 trailer? That’s great if it can carry 550-600kg comprised of passengers and trailer down ball load, plus gear and fuel! That has to be 800kg on the vehicle. I’ll go check. Got me interested in one of these instead of the dual cab 79 series
@@superwag634 120kg towball, 280kg people, 70kg fuel, and about 100kg in the tub. Unladen (no fuel or driver) 1965kg - GVM 3050kg = 1085kg - 570kg (my load) - 515kg spare. I could tow 3000kg with that setup all day everyday (search youtube, plenty are doing it right now heading around the country).
@@orangejuicepony6881 impressive. Except if you have a 3t trailer, you’re limited to a vehicle weight of 2.55t uncoupled from trailer due to GCM being 5.55T. So maybe a bit less gear or passengers in the Ute would be required. I haven’t checked the maximum axle loadings yet
Not that I like a ranger but have you driven one? They’re light years ahead of the Australian market. Not to mention the much higher resale value compared to this thint
Owner of 2 Cannons here! 1 Cannon-X with 35,000 kms and a Cannon-LCC with 3,500kms so far for work stuff. Honestly can't fault them. Was hesitant at first, but after putting 30,000 on the Cannon-X in a year and a bit I was without a question getting a second one for work uses (landscaping / maintenance) and for all the tech and 4x4 capabilities for the price its great!
People need to start realising GWM are making BIG! waves in Australia and they should no longer be considered the 'cheap Chinese car' as they are honestly competing against the likes of Isuzu, Mazda and Toyota regarding capabilities.
The only question is will my 2 Cannons make it past 200,000kms. (realistically, if its for work purposes its getting traded in before then, and yeah they lose a bit of value for being a 'chinese' car but id rather lose 50% value on a $40,000 car than 25% value on a $75,000 car!
Make sure you you brush your teeth with Chinese toothpaste it's cheaper for long term teeth quality and your your wallet just like Chinese cars I bought a triton 2015 triton with 200k now 367k never a problem been to Perth Darwin and back to Sydney still going very strong Mitsubishi bombed China Mitsubishi has historically proven its name before Toyota fact 👍
Great comments, Blake.
Which has the larger tray - the L-CC or the X dual cab?
And what internal features does the L miss out on over the X?
Cheers.
@@petermahoney636make sure you get your brain checked for radiation from your Mitsubishi. They used to make planes during WW2 and it was probably their planes that bombed Darwin... So enough with your brainwashed jingoism... Go kiss Murdoch if you want but real patriots would be asking the government to free Assange and David McBride.
Hi Matt,I remember seeing a Toyota back in 1970 with my dad and I asked what’s that dad.He said it’s Jap crap son don’t touch them ,how wrong he was.I think it’s coming around again.I just bought the Canon 4x4 base model CC for $37 k drive away with factory tow bar.I traded the Tyres for all terrains put on a canopy bull bar winch lights front & rear upgraded suspension fridge ,draws 2 way radio & dual battery. $50400. After talking to maybe 100 canon owners over 3 years only a couple negatives. I’m getting 9 litres on hwy 11 around town.I love it.
Hi Matt, watch the nah sayers clamber all over this.
The GWM range is truly awesome, the cabins are the place to be, I find them so appealing, maybe it's just the size & comfort along with the tidy layout.
People who have purchased them love them.
Country folk are buying them, once again, against what nah sayers think.
I actually suspect cab chassis is the logical choice for country/rural folk.
I can see they are affecting Hilux sales, as farmers whom always had hiluxes in the past have Cannons now, that's just how it is, they are appealing.
Farmers don't require 500nm,
400 definitely adequate and most likely more grunt than the old Hilux it's replacing.
18" wheels over the top for farm ute, but it's what offer.
I like GWM vehicles,better than the expensive mainstream vehicles. As for claimed tow rates, you should never tow anything heavier than the vehicle, IMO.😊
you support the CCP as well

That looked like a drive around Gkenbrook/Blaxland to me...
Nice review. Good to have someone taking the time to look at the cab chassis option rather than always the dual cab ute.
Thanks mate. You’re bang on - I live in Glenbrook!
@@therightcar good one! Moved from there to Faulconbridge a few years ago 👍
They are a great ute. You didn't show the best feature for trades by folding up the back seats leaving heaps of room to store your more expensive tools inside the cab. The whole rear seating compartment becomes a large storage area.
Cheers heaps mate
Amazing video and it answered all my questions and throughts on this
Thank you for the review and it does seem like a LOT of ute for the money. Did some research, and yeah given Great Wall Utes have been around for ages and I do see quite a few here in north queensland that are clearly 10 or older. I wonder what companies like Isuzu can do to address the value imbalance. Japanese only buyers are long on their way out of the workforce, and you can't really get new old stock parts for older Japanese cars like you used to, and I mean stuff like water pumps. Very interesting and a bit worrying times. I just hope the GWM holds to the same don't fuss if it works mantra that made so many japanese utes such tradie legends.
Hi, I really love these cannons GWM the only thing like to see them has come out with a bigger diesel, which I believe next year, they are coming up with a 2.4 L which is getting a bit better but I’m old truck driver and you buy a prime mover with the smallest diesel you can afford to buy the biggest bastard you can get
Not a ute person me but this seems to be a no brainer, just a thought on safety would it not be a good idea to install a reversing beeper that can be heard outside like what trucks use and on all vehicles from the smallest hatchback to the biggest 4WD it could be a life saver in supermarket carparks and driveways. surely safety stuff like this shouldn't be too complicated.
Thanks for the comment. Those beepers are easy to install. But you can hear this thing coming when it’s running.
EV utes in the future…? Another story altogether
Thanks for the review. My only negative or question would be about warranty repairs and the time that it takes…not that ford is good at this. Also the dealer network and the associated repair times. This might be something to add to your reviews. It is a point that is very much considered. No good having a work horse that isn’t running for a month or more…!
GWM (unlike the likes of ldv etc) actually have a very decent network across Australia! Coming from first hand experience as an owner of 2 Cannons I had to get my Aircon pump replaced (due to my own stupidity not a car fault) and it was ordered, arrived and fit within 2 weeks. Took Toyota longer than that to organise a bulbar for my dads '22 rogue
Let's hope they offer the petrol hybrid drivetrain as an option in all of these vehicles as GWM have just put the petrol hybrid engine in the top spec Cannon Alpha twin cab variants. If they make the petrol hybrid engine optional it will give GWM a big jump on the competition and not just in price.
😎🇦🇺👍
Actually i think those servicing intervals are pretty normal, I don't think any car should exceed 10k /12mon between oil changes, Also i think the delay you speak of with starting on cold mornings is because its waiting for the glow plugs to do their thing, Its the same for any diesel engine, Actually i might explain that better, With a key start you can (if you dont want to wait for the glow plug light to go out) just go straight through to ignition, But its not good for the motor, Im guessing the push button start is overriding you and doing the right thing.
Yep; thanks for that point. And you’re right about the button starter but in other utes it acts differently - less of a dead spot.
@@therightcar Well that makes the GWM look even better👍
I was told by a GWM dealer that Cab/Chassis version shown here are no longer available. Have they done a turnaround??
2 years Trouble free not a rattle or issue at all it’s so Comfortable to drive and perfect size Tub hauls goods effortlessly and tows brilliantly.On corrugated roads it shines it’s one of the best Utes I’ve owned and great on Diesel Would recommend the Cannon to Anybody and to anyone who Gets a twist in there Knickers and says CCP Chinese this Chinese that get a life there’s good Chinese Quality products (IPhones) made in china and bad ones so take it from someone who owns one and knows two other people that own them they are a Great Value reliable Vehicles for the Money you Will be very Happy just go look at one and compare them to the Ute range and see the value
Will it tow an 18 foot caravan? Weight 1.5 ton
Wouldn't the Mahindra Pikup be an alternative in this price bracket?
Do you think it will tow my caravan ok, fully loaded is 2000kg. I currently have a 2016 Holden Colorado that tows the van very easily. I would appreciate your experienced view.
You bet. I think it would be fine with 2000kg on the towbar.
I would love to see on of these things after say 5 odd yrs and a few owners, I think these will age very fast
Still think King Kong Cannon is a better name than Cannon Alpha(so bland!) still, when I think workhorse I definatly dont think leather seats and a 8 speed autobox, great value in this.
Very high comsumption
who cares about all the luxury features...pay the extra and get something back in 5 years!
China is the new Japan, they're the Kodak / VideoEzy of the world
That’s a sham no decent tradie ever would buy that gross hate wagon
When your driving on the road look out for GWM 2010 2014 V200 AND V240 there all off the road proof Chinese cars are rubbish and buy a GWM v240 no resale Japanese products have always been better than Chinese products. Would buy Chinese toothpaste for your teeth or would you use Chinese tools on your Chinese GWM STEED THE WRECKERS DON'T WANT THEM .Japanese is better because of resale compare resale before you buy
You must be thinking 10 years ago different story now.
@@buncha5651 no they still have terrible resale.
People don’t care about resale value mate after 7 years you most trades do over 300 ks anyways so who wants a used Toyota with 300 ks 😆 canonon is perfect idea 7 years warranty who cares no brainer
