    • @Drivecomau
      @Drivecomau  3 года назад +14

      I get your point. But I stopped testing with the first 4 because the traction systems were crappy, and I could feel it from the driver's seat: They weren't going to go up unless I absolutely bounced them up the hill, flogged the track, broke a CV, munched a side step. Last four could do it, because of the better traction systems. it's also worth pointing out the testing we filmed was only about 30 percent of overall testing on that hill. We unfortunately can't film every minute of testing while out there. Sam

    It looks as though you never used the off road mode in the GWM, and simply used 4L for these tests? From my understanding, the off road mode changes the throttle mapping and would have made the vehicle much more controlled. It also modifies the mapping of the traction control system. I can't say I have had a chance to use it but it seems to make a difference from what I have read and seen.

    I know a few people have complained that certain cars didn’t get gas. But, I’ve been on 4wd trips with others that have varied experience and this often happens. Also, the first few people tend to make it up easier than those in the rear because the track is torn up. You would be surprised how many people don’t have a lot of confidence in 4wd driving. Regardless, this is a lot of money to pay for a lot of cars that struggled. I don’t see the point of paying 60 grand without accessories for a car that may or may not make it up the hill. Mate recently bought the Canon and regardless of the review on this test. Its incredible. 40k with towbar.

    • @Glenno7
      @Glenno7 3 года назад +4

      @@tpv59 Ok, the Amarok is a full time all wheel drive, meaning it drives all 4 wheels at the same time always, and you can't turn it off.
      The top two models of the Triton have the ability to switch on (alternate) between 2WD and 4WD and also they have a rear diff locker that you can engage in high or low range.
      Hilux/Ranger/BT50/Navara/Great wall/Isuzu/LDV/Colorado etc do not have 4WD systems, they are only 2WD (rear wheel) that can engage a diff locker that will make all 4 wheel spin at the same time to get you out of a sticky spot but you must disengage it straight away or you will do damage to the drivetrain especially if you try to steer the car on a high traction surface.
      So IMO, if you are going to spend that much money on a so called 4x4 you would at least want to know that is is a "real" 4x4.
      To me this test (the hill climb part) was about which company gives you the widest and grapiest tyres - as most serious 4x4'ers will put bigger wider grippier tyres on anyway.
      If you check out other tests on RUclips where they use the same tyres on all the vehicles, you will see a much different outcome.
      For your interest, check out this RUclips ruclips.net/video/Ld1bMp5Hh1I/видео.html @ 2:22 they say that they used the same tyres on all vehicles, and if you don't want to watch the whole thing skip ahead to 30:50 for results.

With 5k spent on the GWM for a filter guard, set of tyres, under body skid plates and a re map of the throttle response it would have chewed up and spat out anything else on this test with 15k still in your pocket.

    Test driving the little 4 pot ranger I still prefer the 3.2l 5cyl any day of the week. I know on paper it doesn't have the same power as the twin turbo but it just feels like it has so much more grunt at low RPM. Literally indeling around town at about 1600 - 1800 RPM. Perhaps it's the gearbox? Don't know but it just feels so much nicer to drive. Not to mention engine acoustics. The 5 cyl has a really nice engine sound to it while the 4 pot has that tipical buzzy and boring 4 cyl sound.

    Very good test. It's the Nissan that caught my attention.
    The New Navara has coil springs at the back that contributes to a very smooth ride. Driving the Navara is a good experience, but it's under powered for its size and its got a dead spot between 115 km/h and 140 km/h in the automatic and that's an issue because that is the speed range that's used for highway overtaking. Nissan should have upped the engin power and fine tuned the auto box. It could have done with a slightly lower 1st gear to eliminate turbo lag. Sound damping and ride quiality is very good, but Nissan missed the boat with keeping the top line engine at 140 kW and 450 NM. The cabin also looks outdated compared to the competitors, the auto gear shift looks very dated and the steering does not have the same adjustment as the competitors. But its biggest downfall is the underpowered engine, its not just about the power figures, its the way it uses the power, in a test it was even beaten by the Chinese 4x4 with a 2 liter enige and only 120 kW.

    Only got to watch this now and agree with the many comments on momentum. Also, no comments on tyre pressure? Surely not factory pressures, for a course that is clearly not paved?
    Then finally, with the greatest of respect, traction control was never designed with anything but the lack of wheel articulation in mind. Most vehicles will go into "limp mode" or overheat with consistent use of their "traction control". That was not sand, but "traction control" in sand is going to get you well dug in, as most "systems" will deny power, as well as brake the spinning wheels.
    Not all spinning is undesirable, but that's what the diff locks are for, which brings me back to the driving. It would be uncharitable to say that the tester was "getting the hang of it" as he went along, but sensible momentum, whilst trying not to destroy the vehicle and environment in the process, is always a good thing. Get's you to the cooler (chilley?) box sooner too ....

      We have 2 LDV one is a luxe and the other a pro, no problems with either Ute as good as any other dual cab Ute on this test and the best value for money in Au. You can also get any after market item you could wish for. Every vehicle in this test is made in some Asian country. Ford Ranger Thailand. Go figure
