Not that I'm defending gwm. Haveing owned 2 WK2 jeeps. The tank i drove yesterday seemed pretty good for fit and finish. For the price.
But ive got an old gwm wagon from 12 years ago with 360K on it and engine hadnt been touched.
For what was a 25k car at the time it definitely served its use to commute to the mines and home and now gets used to bash aroud in the scrub with no regard for it.
Yet the jeep i brought is bearly alive. I wouldn't hesitate to get another GW. Never spend a cent on them.
Yeah personally wouldn’t buy any other Jeep than a Wrangler. The vast majority of reliability complaints are from Cherokee and compass owners. This is my second wrangler In 15 odd years and they have been total battle axes.
Jeep fanboy alert! You cannot ignore the price differential. This car is at least $30k cheaper than just about everything else directly comparible...they have done a great job bringing this to market at this pricepoint. It looks to be very customisable too, and some companies are already all over it with after-market options. There is a Russian/Australian dude who posted a Russian site teardown of the tank 300 and it came out of that assessment very well. For sure, some things could be improved but this a great option for someone who doesn't have the coin for a jeep or toyota. I think this is a really great thing to see....and it has a 7/5 year unlimited mileage warranty depending on location......not too shabby.
Yes I’ve seen the tear down. It’s a good video. I Guess the point of my video was to outline what you are paying for when you do spend the extra $30k. But yes, we all have different budgets and it’s great they come with a 7 year warranty.
I think they will sell a lot of them and have a bit of a cult following. I reckon there will Tank clubs 😂.
If they honor that warranty I've head horror stories about GWM customer service
@6foot8jesuspilledpureblood82 because jeep and Land rover are so exceptional in this area! 🫣
aha, I know who you talking about, Dimitri from Value Cars Australia, right?
@@operation4wheelz what your $30k buys you is an unreliable car with zero manufacturer support and 15 year old tech.
Just gonna leave this here for the Jeep fanboys
"It's a Jeep thing" could potentially be a response to having to spend more time in the dealership's repair shop. Jeep is ranked No. 23 out of 24 automakers for reliability for 2023. Unlike some manufacturers on this list, it's not because of a significant drop. Jeep was ranked No. 22 in CR's 2022 list. CR puts it simply: "Most Jeep models do not have strong reliability."
You are are correct… but it’s not the wrangler that’s responsible for poor Jeep reliability stats, it’s other models like compass and Cherokee. The wrangler, especially the Rubicons are actually very well built in the US. Many others are built outside the US and certainly seem to have poorer quality standards. This is my second wrangler, and neither have been anything short of a battle axe. Feel free to check more of my content, it’s been all over the east coast, from the high country to the tip, been rock solid.
Not according to JD Power, Jeep is ranked in the middle with 14 manufacturers WORSE than Jeep.
So the Jeep will definitely be ranked No. 24 next year from pattern we saw. Hopefully, more automakers join for the ranking thing in the next few years, otherwise we are unable to see Jeep's number incrementing.
the jeep is soooo yesterday and the quality, well, nothing to say ... whereas the tank 300 has been proven to be quite phenomenal for its off and on road performance, and the price and features jz light years ahead of the wrangler
There’s nothing phenomenal about the tank 300 at all. Other than being cheap.
It doesn’t do anything that a regulator modern 4wd doesn’t.
It’s ridiculous to say otherwise, and only demonstrates ignorance. Thats not intended as an insult, take it how you please.
@@operation4wheelz oh no, no offence taken because you must be right, the t.300 with its high tech, unique range extended 4wd hybrid system is just cheap and ordinary, very enlightening indeed ...
@@operation4wheelzwhich modern regular 4WD has double diff locks, does tank turns, available as hybrid, well equipped and lux interior, great to drive off and on road?
@@operation4wheelzyou might play down the virtues of a capable and reliable 4WD that's reasonaby affordable, but not all of us have $100k to spend on a car as you do, and then look down on those who can't.
Front and rear lockers are available in all Rubicons, LC300 GR, LC70 GXL, G wagon, to name a few in western culture. Go outside western filter and you’ll find plenty more.
Serious off-roaders don’t use gimmicks like “tank turn” or other gimmick driving modes. All you need is a good BTC system and the ability to switch off all ESP. From what I’ve seen the BTC system in the tank is garbage. You want good BTC and the option of lockers. And as for lux, this just varies between vehicles. The Tanks in cab feature are nothing better then anything else out there. It’s just standard stuff in 2023
truth about Jeep Wrangler, ANCAP 3 star, Tank 300, 5 star. End of story.
If that’s all that matters to you, then that’s up to you. But this channel isn’t about mum and dad coasting down the freeway.
I might suggest you do some research on ANCAP and what it actually means though.
@@operation4wheelzperhaps you shouldn't be looking down on those who have a family and want them to be safe in case of an accident
@@johnwayne8475 yeah mate… I look down on people with families… 🙄
Anyway…
ooooowwww no its a rusty car business and has slipped thru cracks on standards of cars allowed into AUS. would u buy a brand new 4wd with RUST IN MOTOR AND STRUCTURE OF TANK .. ITS WRONG . DONT BUY ONE .. OR IF SO BUY MINE ITS GOING OUT FOR COST SPENT. AND ITS GOT RUST...
HOWS THIS FOR END OF STORY !
PSim not intending on being brash with u , more towards GWM!
30k buys a lot of after market improvments. The tank 300 is the next Jimny. Just watch the sale figures already. They will out sell the Jeep before christmas this year.
You’re probably right. A lot of people in the comments here are coming in swinging. Which is fine because it helps my algorithm.
But this channel is about 4wding and the finer details. The only things this vehicle features over others, is a low price tag. Nothing else is is anyway special or unique. Apart from an atrocious paid load.
I’d take the Tank over the Jeep any day !!!.
Maybe the extra space in the engine bay is to accommodate the electric motor for the hybrid?
Very likely.
Yes it is and it’s great with 350 hp finally…
driven both new wrangler and the tank 300 i know what id choose and id save myself 30k. these gwms have come a long way the past few years and will start to impact the local market substantially in the next 12-24 months. just look how many cannons are around. ive owned one for 2 years and have driven every other duel cab still happy i went for the cannon. as soon as they bring in the bigger motors its game over imo.
Please remember this is an off-roading channel. Yeah the Tank probably doesn’t drive like an elephant on the road like a wrangler. But the Rubicon will run rings around the tank in serious offroad conditions. This is not a matter of opinion. The Rubicon is built from the ground up for capability, compromising other things to achieve it.
@@operation4wheelz that’s false there are dozens of reviews and RUclips videos showing many off road competitions and long drives off road and many times the tank 300 has come out much better than competitors and the wrangler is one of them . The tank300 has also been built from ground up with some of the latest off road features available
@@operation4wheelz Horses for courses. I do a lot of highway miles and the Tank cruises just beautifully... and it's good offroad too. It depends on what you want.
Sorry but nobody will be able to convince me to buy a Jeep, if we were to start picking holes at the Jeep, boy it will be a mighty huge crater! 😂
👍
👍
Zero problems with the two in our family. 100 000 km and 230 000 km ZERO Problems.
We got to understand that Jeep and Tank are designed for different people in mind in terms of their motoring needs as well as their budget. I can forgive the Tank for its little shortcomings, its price is half the price of Jeep Wrangler. At its space(the tank), its good value for money.
You are correct. But people also need to be honest with themselves and stop calling this thing something it isn’t … there’s nothing amazing about it. It’s just a cheap modern 4wd and not a war hero as many are claiming it is. It comes with a front locker which is cool. But other than that.. what’s so amazing about it? There’s a million other better options for $50k out there… yes, you’re probably looking at second hand, but that not a bad thing as long as you’re not careless.
Jeep Wranglers are now way 30-50k better than a Tank.
@@shaun1900Factory Dana 44 axles, factory crawler ratios, solid axles, electronic sway bar disconnect, twin locked with with the zf8hp… it’s saving you a shitload in mods. It’s worth it if you want straight up capability.
@@operation4wheelz as long as the engine doesn't shit itself, suspension fail, bits start falling off and things start breaking. I'd have at least 10k set aside for issues you'll encounter throughout its life.
Not saying all points are invalid, and some are good points, but calling it poor man's Jeep is a little too much. I guess if you pay more than $30k more than the next person who have a flashier and more modern vehicle, it in human nature to be a little sour about it.
Hi mate. What I said was “The poor man pays twice”.
My point in the video was the difference saving $30k will cost you in terms of engineering.
Perhaps I should have articulated it better, but I was only comparing to the Jeep because that’s what is sitting in my driveway. We feature all sort of vehicles on the channel.
Even if you were so negative about the Tank 300, it won't change the fact that this car, if without biased (said by another offroad youtuber), could be the car of the year. I get that everyone hates Chinese car, or SUV, or offroader. That's OK, we used to hate German cars, then we hated Japanese car in the 80th, then we have Korean car in the 90s, you guys didn't remember xCel without airbags? Now we hate Chinese Car?? What do we have? Or wait, we will start building Nuclear subs, Yeah!!!
This is one of the less hostile comments 😂.. but how the hell did this end up discussing AUKUS ? 😂😂.
Yes, this reviewer is extremely biased against this car . . . before he even drove it.
PLS READ MY COMMENTS GWM SOLD ME MY TANK WITH RUST AND SAID ITS COMMON .
WHO OUT THERE BROUGHT A BRAND NEW CAR THAT WAS RUSTY AND WAS HAPPY ABOUT IT?
Some other guy took a stock tank 300 to Loveday adventure park in SA for off road test. For sure is not the best in the market but produced got results. In a further video the guy do mention some of the weaknesses and exposed parts under the car
Yeah Dash off-road. 👍
So many comparisons with the jeep, so compare a fuel guzzling V8 diesel at $90K, to a 4cyl petrol at $50k.
The engine being forward seems like a good idea, seems easier to work on.
Ideally to you want the engine as close the middle of vehicle as possible, this improves its handling on and off-road. That’s why vehicles have gone down this path. It’s not the 70s anymore. But as I said in the video, yes it’s probably easier to work on.
Not sure what you’re getting at about the v8 diesel. Maybe I’ve been misunderstood but this video isn’t really comparing this vehicle to others, just the consequences of reducing cost so significantly. This vehicle has a front locker, which is cool. But other then that, it’s-a cheap car that comes with standard features.
I am confused, you spent 80k plus for the most unreliable vehicle on the road. I hugest your vehicle knowledge is somewhat limited.
Or Maybe your vehicle knowledge is somewhat limited…
I currently own a 2013 Rubicon and knows it's pros and cons. Ordered a Tank 300 hybrid. Can't wait! If Jeep bothered to bring the 4xe Wrangler to Aus I may have stuck with it. But seriously at $30000+ less than a new Rubicon? PS. You compare your already modifier Wrangler (yellow shocks giveaway) with a stock Tank 300. $30000 buy a lot of mod!
Nice
I ordered a tank 300 hybrid today also. Just wondering when they are coming in? It seems to have a bit of a delay at the moment ?
Great video. Personally i thought it was unbiased and glad that you didnt get political and hate the car just because its from China. You explained the pain points and even provided video evidence too . I think the tank 300 is still great value for what you pay for and the reality is that most aussies cant afford a wrangler,landcruiser etc so this is going to be great cheaper alternative.
Thanks mate.
It’s a been a touchy subject 😂
That goop under the running boards is no worse then the work mate hilux is covered in it. For stone chips.
Well maybe they should spray it on the actual chassis…
Greetings from Thailand. 2O Years before I got TJ and YJ in Germany and I love them. Now in Thailand the new Jeep Rubicon costs me 115,000 $ and GWM is selling the new Tank 300 2024 ULTRA Hybrid for 48,000 $ with 5 years warranty on the full car and free services and 8 years on the battery. Car comes with front and rear div looks and does a pretty good job online on the island Phuket and Kho Phangan. Last but not least the service treats you like a royal customer compared to Honda or Toyota and the new Tank shows several improvement like skid plates and better brakes per example…
Hopefully the better brakes combined with the poor vehicle dynamics don’t put you into the woods!!
Can you do the same type review on Suzuki Jimny 4 door and compare against tank 300?
The truth is we don't really know yet about the diff and suspension strength and reliability. The Asians and Russians are wheelin' these hard, but not sure about any problems they might have. Lets wait and see.
Seen plenty of footage of them being launched 😂
Looking at the extra space in the tank 300, is there enough room in there for a barra swap? I also would be interested in the weight distribution of the car with the engine mounted this way.
😂
Put a 6.7 Cummins in it
It handles perfectly. Neutral cornering... No obvious oversteer or understeer. I love it.
lol.
How to compare heavy weight vs middle weight? Fair?
Jeep are so confident in their product they give it a 5 year 100000 km warranty. They know it won’t make 100000 km in five years because it will spend most of its time at the dealer.
5 years unlimited km is the standard these days.
Dunno mate. Mines been all over the counter and never skipped a beat. Nor did my JK.
Lol, none of mines I used to own made 100k, because I ended up selling them. Who has time spending time at the dealer for repairs? Not me...
there is a v6 3.0T version tank 300 down the line. Maybe that answers the engine space problem. Could be q2 2024 at the earliest.
You’re probably right.
v6 3.0 is for tank500
Not sure how long the Tank 300 has been released for local motoring in China before they started exporting it as certainly there are some glaring improvements to be done such as the lifting of the rear wheels on sudden braking etc...
Yeah. Exactly… and hence why I pointed out the motor being unnecessary far forward, it’s the exact kind of thing that it gonna cause the rear wheels to lift like that. Weight forward of the front axle cause weight to come off the rear axle. Harsh braking is gonna make that weight shift very obvious.
Have owned multiple jeeps and they just always broke down. No matter what i did. One had never even been offroad and always kept my pockets empty. Drove a tank 300 and after 12 hours went back to the dealership and bought the ultra. I know what ill be doing with the extra 30k. Dont be so biased with your hate against chinese cars. If its a good car, its a good car period.
👍
Same here. Loved TJ and YJ when I was young. Now with the Tank 300 Ultra Hybrid it feels like total different level…
Seems like another Chinese hating biased review. Didn’t enjoy at all try and be more open minded.
No worries… there’s heaps of other channels out there, where you can hear the information that suites you 👍
Agreed, but unfortunately.
Kind of goes to show. Carmakers have been gauging the f$&k out of us with prices.
Maybe… but it also costs a lot more the manufacture in places like the US or Australia.
@@operation4wheelz we don’t manufacture in Australia. It’s mostly Indonesia or Vietnam. So same same.
👍
Just say you do not like the car
👍
@@operation4wheelz I bet you, the tank will remain bulletproof years to come, while the jeep runs down into pieces
Yeah this video has hit a nerve with like 6 people now… hope you’re ok.
@@operation4wheelz not even. Chinese cars have been bad mouthed ever since. The Chinese have improved and that's the reality many people decide ignore and yes the Tank will be bulletproof with minor issues to give attention to while the jeep as we all know it, will fall apart.
The Wrangler is definitely more capable out of the box, especially with a solid front axle. I do find if people are going to use theirs more on-road (with the occaisonal off-road journey) than majority off-road, the Tank is probably the better option for them. It's great to see more options in the class however, and fingers crossed the Tank proves itself over time! I wish Jeep would re-introduce a cheaper Sport grade or something alike again for those who don't need all the lux features :(
Yeah Jeep has certainly made a mess of marketing in Australia, or maybe more accurately, stuffed up what they think aussies want. The 2.2 diesel in mine is an absolute gun of a little engine. But they priced themselves out of the market with it, asking an extra 5k… but… in saying that, we probably only account for 2% of their market here. 🤷♂️
My last quite soft offroad trips would have crashed the exhaust pipe every single time. Probably also rip off some of these cables. What a pain it would be for saving 30k.
The extra space at the rear of the engine may relate to the hybrid engine option?
Probably. But it’s still a sign of cost cutting in the engineering department. Other manufacturers make the effort to make different engines package properly and having the engine as rearward as possible is good for the vehicles COG. It’s things like this that contribute to issues like the rear wheels lifting off the ground under harsh breaking like it does.
I won't defend GWM. I "hope" that they have taken shortcuts - because otherwise, their pricing would be truly shocking. Even so, they have come a long way - and we should keep in mind that they are also using Western engineers for their designs. e.g Andrew Collinson worked for GWM at the time (Head of Design). Prior to GWM, he worked for Ford and Jaguar. Raul Pires (SVP Design) worked for Audi and Italdesign. So the times of "Chinese crap" are mostly over.
@@operation4wheelz That extra space is problematic?
@@dh6rm3sh yes… it’s conducive to poor handling. And I suspect significantly contributes to the heavy braking issues they have.
Can't be any worse than the absolute shitbox JEEP I owned for 6 years and $8,000.00 worth of out of warranty costs. Jeeps sales in Australia and the United States have absolutely tanked (I know). Other reviews in Australia by non-Journos, including reviews of the undercarriage and a Russian review where they strip the vehicle have been positive
What type of Jeep was it?
@@operation4wheelz US built Cherokee. Jeep is an absolute liability waste of money. I'm not alone in that view, sales figures in Australia, the United States and Canada support that view.
I wouldn’t buy any other Jeep then a Wrangler.
After having two lemons (wrangler and a cherokee) , you couldn't pay me another one of those junks. Remember, Lane Rover was born because Willy's Jeeps were so crap that the Brits had enough putting up with it...
ZERO issues with our Jeeps, 100 000 km and 230 000 km both Cherokees. You must have had a Friday arvo special.🤣🤣
Jeep fan boy, the gap in engine bay is because it is also a hybrid model. It is not a parts bin mode L from ute, it is a Haval H9 with different bodyshell, ute I'd derived from the H9
.
In all fairness, if you're going to compare it to a Jeep, it's more like the Cherokee KK style and size.
You’re right. But I was just using the Wrangler as an example of what happens when bigger $$$ is spent.
Sorry.....how much did you pay for your Wrangler. How is this a comparison?
New to this- whats the issue of having small diff - weight reduction perhaps, and the engine being forward- maybe thats how it achieved 5ancap rating stars, ? who knows
Smaller diffs means smaller, weaker components. The engine I likely mounted so far forward because is and also designed to have a separate hybrid engine, however these things can still be engineered if cost isn’t such an issue. The chassis is a donor from a Ute and not specifically designed for this platform. It all comes down to $$$. I’m not saying it’s a bad car, I’m saying that people need to understand this is still a compromise at the cost it is. And there’s really nothing remarkable about it. The front locker is a nice addition though.
Some fair comments ; looked at and test drove the 300 Hybrid recently; looked underneath and yes - it looks a bit cheap with finish / actual quality sure dosnt match a jeep as he points out
Same goes for inside - materials generally look somewhat budget
But , the drive experience, in terms of ride and handling dynamics on both sealed to moderately rough dirt roads - pretty damn good
Quick nimble steering with decent feel , quality ride comfort on shitty serfaces stood out for me ; the vehicle simply does not feel like 2.2 ton for the hybrid !!!
The tech that everyone raves about - well its ok but got some rough edges ( dosnt work at all i.e lane keep assist etc)
Driven 4 or 5 Jeeps post 2020 models - agree that inside & out - quality of finish / paint & materials look substantially better - i love the Gladiator especially....
But in all honesty , driving dynamics and ride of the tank - compared to a wrangler especially, is better on road & and perhaps closer off it than we cud say ....
And , the 80 k plus for one - vs low 5o s for the hybrid tank - i can see the appeal ....its a tough call
In all honesty , if the price diff was 15 to 20 k only - id go the jeep every time , but - 30 to 40 k - whew......tough
Yes these point are all true. The wrangler/gladiator ride at speed is comprised. But this is because it’s focused for off-road use with solid axles etc.
Talk about backing the wrong horse and making stuff up.
👍
Mate, what are you trying to prove? Stick to your junk Jeep because you cannot even differentiate between bad paint job and clear sprayed on underbody protection. And with that nuff said...
You seem a little stressed mate. Maybe go to a different channel that doesn’t upset you so much. Or just sit here contributing to the algorithm like a boss. Up to you
What do you expect for the money? a Bentley Bentayga
👍
Jeep's are great! Barbie has one!
Yeah, she goes wheeling like a total mad dog, and she’s not a cheapskate
I would love to see a comparison V the Mahindra Scorpio N. I would probably pick the scorpio because it is diesel. Have driven one and was impressed. Haven't driven a Tank 300 yet
I don’t have much experience with Mahindra, however, many don’t realise they are actually the worlds biggest tractor manufacturer.
Mahindra Scorpio N test 0 star
I have a 1995 landcruiser chassis not galvanised still rust free
Yeah, 1995 is quite old is neatly 30 years ago. Everything is hot dip Gal these days… LDV had a massive issue a couple of years ago for not doing it.
i owne tank 300. the quality build is amazing and it's cheaper compared to other.
The GWM P-series factory in Chongqing(another P-series factory loacted in Baoding city), manufactures P-series UTEs and Tank300s on the same production line, one car rolls off the assembly line every 72 seconds ruclips.net/video/dEtJ3_s7Ctw/видео.html
.
What do you expect its way cheaper than any 4x4.
It’s exactly what I expect…
Is that in Maitland NSW
Yep
I reckon the gap behind the motor is something to do with the hybrid version and the hybrid stuff will fill that space. Can see what you mean about the quality underneath
It’s very likely. I’ll check out a hybrid one when I find one. I think the hybrid uses a different gearbox, maybe it’s shorter. So the engine can fit further back. In saying that, it still ultimately comes down to $$$. How much are ya will to spend on it engines, and making them fit neatly and integrate it with the chassis . Eg Jeep has about 6 different engines that are all mated to the same gearbox.
These really are different angles of view..haven’t seen anyone mentioned them so far. As per quality, time will tell.
Will be interesting.
The price of the tank tho

Tank 300 is for those ppl who simply wants a big toy,
a cheap platform yet reliable enough for off and on road,
then mod the hell out of it beyond recognition.
You must be out of your mind if you want it as a 9-5 car.
👍
Is GWM planning on releasing an EV version of Tank 300??
There is a hybrid version
for EV off-roader, the answer is U-8.
Lol. No engineering thats why there is space there, there is engineering and that's why there is space there for the electric motor so it can destroy the jeeps in terms of power and torque.
Every other car company can do it. It’s just a case of spending the money.
👍
How about car parts. I think they are over priced and hard to find
For the Tank?
@@operation4wheelz yes.
I couldn’t tell you. Have you found parts to be expensive? And what parts have you had to replace?
Not personally, but i been told. At least in Saudi Arabia all Chinese’s car brands have parts issues.
Interesting. I might do some research and see if it’s an issue in Australia

I worked for jeep in service for over 5yrs , they are over priced and unreliable
👍
A lot of this commentary is nit picking in my opinion. I don't think it was designed to compete with a Jeep in its standard form. Nobody wants Jeeps for good reason . Look at the sales figures. I used to work at a Volkswagen factory when VWs were still good cars. The stuff underneath is called stone chip sealer and in those days QC would not write up a fault for a sealer.drip underneath . I saw Jeep gladiators new for sale a few months ago for about $90k. Now they are on special for $69k. Because they have one of the worst reputations around. Stop comparing this new way of looking at things to a failed brand. American cars are not good and are unreliable. As for snall diffs, well have they broken yet? Seems like an odd video point of view. Not comparing apples with apples. Ive recently bought a tank300 and i couod have bought a Jeep.
I own a tank 300 and a jeep jk. I like better the tank. Simple.
Nothing is built to last anymore! Sticking with our 22 year old hilux.
No shortage or parts of ya need em either 👍
Before I make any comment T300 giving between 7 and 10 year warranty with unlimited mileage depends where you live, I am sure Wrangler cant beat that?!! This guy is simply jeep boy, if you see how he responds to peoples comments it will be obvious for everyone... Bay the way i drove Wrangler 2016 sport version two door over two years, every weekend bashing dunes, regular maintenance, pay now and than for some fixes but nothing serious or major so yes Jeep Wrangler is better car but also it's double expensive thank T300 and for most of the people T 300 will serve well because they might go for off-road once in 3-6 months. I am going to buy Tank 300 next month and i believe there will be no regrets. Already seen couple of people driving it here in middle east and bay the way 10 year unlimited
I only reply to the comments because it’s the only way to acquit the notification.
Thank you for the content and well done with your measured responses to the aggressive commentators. I look forward to the long term reviews of the vehicle however the 2L engine and nonsensical payload is an absolute show stopper in my opinion. If you don't mind me asking, have you had any major issues with the Jeep? Cheers
Hi mate. Thanks for the positive feedback. This video has certainly struck a nerve with some. If you’re familiar with my channel, you’ll know the Jeep works pretty hard. I certainly haven’t had any major issues at all. At worst, just some water or grit in an electrical contact with the FAD, but this was easily solved with a quick spray with contact cleaner. Pretty much no issues though. 👍
What you pay is what you get.
Correct
Tank 300 is much better than a jeep. I owned a jeep wrangler the issues start fron day one .
It’s not
The city I lived in bought several new busses that were manufactured in China, because the local builders were fully booked up. After just ONE year, cracks were found in the chassis of many of those busses, and they had to be taken off the road for repairs. (This was in about 2017). It's some way off before I'll be buying or relying on anything made in China, if it involves health or safety.
Yep. Definitely some questionable stuff coming from there
Yeah I'm not convinced re the quality of their steel; the fuel economy is questionable & other reviews have been concerned with its 'bunny hopping' when attempting an emergency stop. If these problems were to be fixed then the Tank 300 would be a serious contender.
Jeepers always complaining about the other 4x4 cars
Still I'm going to buy Tank 300 it's proven 4x4 with Hard steel
Sad times
@@operation4wheelz I agree most of them having finance issues due to the cost of repairing their jeep
I really enjoyed reading the tank owners' butthurt comments. I think the car is fine for what it is, most won't take it for severe off-roading. Will be mostly dropping kids off at school.
Personally, it's a nope from me, just seeing the back wheels lift up during heavy breaking +GVM and not ready to give my end $ to a company that is based in a country that hurts our exports anytime we say something bad against them and does genocide towards its own people +their wolf diplomacy.
I have basic morals and am not about to drop them to save a buck.
Haha. Yeah. Certainly upset the apple cart. It’s done the channel a world of good though 😂
Brand and quality, two different concept and comparison.
👍
I will take the Tank 300 and throw $25k of mods anyday 😊😊😊
👍
The truth about Jeep Wrangler😂😂😂
It's quite unfair for you to compare the Tank 300 to your modified jeep.
Nothing I’ve covered was a modification
@@operation4wheelz okay.
Sorry to rain on your parade but, having been a jeep owner in the past I was awake to the plethora of potential mechanical issues that can destroy the new car ownership bliss. That is why I did a whole lot of research before buying my Tank 300. The owners forums speak of very few issues and so far it's the best car I've ever owned. With a seven year, unlimited K warantee I'm feeling fairly confident. By the way, differential size is due to the reduction ratio. It has no relationship to strength. I know you love your Jeep and I did too when I had mine but unfortunately when the gearbox blew up, and it was loosing coolant from somewhere... and the windows didn't work, and the oil pressure warning was going off for no reason, and the front axle seals were gone, and the air con wasn't working for the third time I was forced to give ith to a wrecker.
It’s obviously my first day…
Every car manufactured should be compared to Japanese Toyota models in the series, or Lexus, it is not worth buying a car which has more inferior engine than .............. Toyota
Sounds like science
To all the Jeep haters, if you google Jeep reliability, you will find that is scores average ( JD Power ), plenty of brands worse . Also we have had zero issues with the two in our family, 100 000 km and 230 000 km one is a Cherokee and the other is a Grand Cherokee.

One of the worst reviews I have ever viewed.
You can probably find the review you’re looking for on another channel…
Great factual review. Wrangler Rubicon can’t be beaten off-road.
Thanks mate. I’ve got a lot hostility about it 😂
I wouldn’t buy either shitbox Tank 300 or the Wrangler. Jeep and GWM same lemon taste!
Thanks Josh. We’ve been waiting for your input for quite a while now. We’ll pass this information on to the appropriate departments.
@@operation4wheelz be my guest!
Not sure if I would compare a wrangler to the 300....tank way better for onroad and gravel.....tank way better offroad.
Tank better off-road? Is that a typo?
Hi grandpa, can you showing us one actual proven example which Wrangler can do but the Tank dosen't? But I can show your a bunch of quite opposite. For a car guy I assume you do know to determent the strength of a material is not by look at the size right? and you do know the lower control arm of that Wrangler is hollow inside right? If you bother to research deeply you will be amazed the amount of High tensile steel use on the Tank is no joke, Ncap rating for both vehicles won't lie. Meanwhile we have seen enough twist transmission shaft, sluggish steering, crab gear box, dripping water pump, leaking engine oil, cracking sound of the interior you name it... came from a Chrysler wrangler😂 to me the Wrangler is no more than a rough tool, for tractor use for sure,
If you’re gonna try insulting someone or having a crack at their intelligence, then you should probably go and work on your language, literacy and numeracy skills. It’s like trying to interpret hieroglyphics from an episode of Stargate…in any case, it contributed more to the YT algorithm, so it’s still a win.
Car park expert. Really. You drive a Jeep, how many recalls???? Unsubscribe.
Did you unsubscribe? Because my subs went up, not down.
lmao so much rubbish talk
👍
Good review of a shit car. Cheers👍
Haha. Cheers
Worst review I’ve seen yet. Harping on about a strand of paint under the body, a screw on the dash 😂😂😂
Please
So film you’re own where you say how awesome it is
When you can't admit that your dream is falling and printed money is biting back than you buy Chinese car and pretend that everything is still the same and dream can keep going... a bit more.
But reality is knocking and you are becoming poorer and poorer.
Chinese "cars" aka Aldi coca cola, are just masking the feelings.
Excellent review!
Haha. Cheers
Jeep is expensive and junk. lower safety rating and expensive price. Much higher maintaince price and repair costs.
