BIG CHANGES! But is it a BETTER ute? 2024 LDV T60 Max Plus review
Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары
New suspension, new interior, new look, revised engine! A lot to cover? You bet! Subscribe here: / @therightcar
The new range-topping LDV T60 Max Plus looks almost like an all-new ute, with a heavily revised exterior front-end design, a new interior with heaps more technology, big improvements to the safety spec on offer, a new coil spring rear suspension setup, and improvements to payload, ground clearance, GVM, GCM and additional spec, too.
But it's still the same 4x4 dual cab ute underneath it all, so is it worth spending all the extra money? Because yeah, you bet it costs more....

I know what you mean, but I don't think you can really say anymore that LDV/GWM aren't mainstream models. They're absolutely everywhere, and they've been in the country for quite a while now and very much so have the reliability of a Mitsubishi. My family haven't had any issues with our Jolion, H6 and G10 Executive.
You are the first one to review on ldv plus mate. Good on ya to stay up to date and good review as usual
I wish the Chinese would make single cab utes

they do. I still own an old Great Wall single cab ute.
IV got a 2022 max with 40k KMs on it so far can't complain it does nothing special but it does everything fine aswell...for the price U can't go wrong really
Thanks Matt. Great review. All of the cheaper utes seem to be a case of compromise, and choosing one over the other can be as much about what you’re willing to put up with, or not have, as a result of choosing that ute. Features aside, the telling thing for the T60 will be the quality of the support, or lack thereof, which can really change overall ownership experience. Musso seems to be becoming the darling of the cheap ute segment, however you have to be willing and able to look at it every day 🤮. The Cannon X misses out on an extended tub version like the other two, but I think if they come out with the 2.4 diesel, and improve the way it manages the dpf/burn scenario, it will be an even more attractive contender. The Triton received consistent unflattering / disappointed reviews upon its release, so I’m not sure I’d consider it.

I thing the rear of the musso may not be great but it looks super clean from the front
I drove this but I felt like I was enclosed in a cocoon, yea the cannon and muzzo was better and more open ..The info dash was a pain and that gear shift on the right hand side like a wiper stalk ..I bought the cannon and got it home yesterday and got the xsr
All getting too expensive.
My Grandfather always told me you will buy crap twice, and he was right! Now in a dmax
Great review, Matt. This seems like a good ute, but I hate the crappy black plastic on the tub and also the tail gate. Of the Chinese Ute's, I like the GWM Cannon best. The Triton has lost its main advantage as the price is too high now.

Agree with all of that.
I'd rather have a dial or buttons for the gear selector. and have my headlight controls on a stalk than a slow wireless charging pad
Love a load in the back, mate 👊🏼

How is having the headlight on/off functions buried within menus on the touchscreen even legal? Imagine having your wipers buried in submenus when all you want to do is wash the screen? It's a basic safety function that should be immediately accessible! ADR's aren't what they used to be...

Fuck ADR's. Australia's nanny rules is why all car manufacturers fucked off out of Australia.
Nice one Matt. The biggest problem I see and hear from several older tradies is the problems with removing all the switch gear into the touch screen and the sensitive haptic keys basically comes down to the DT’s. As after a few beats every night followed by early starts is it can be almost impossible to interact with the screen as easily as using buttons and dials that are hardwired into the brain. As sometimes touchscreens don’t always provide a positive feedback. You could also add this to the lawyer who’s driving say the latest generation 8.5 in their BMW’s post a night on the drink.

Well said. That's one of the reasons I bought a new Subaru - buttons and dials for everything. Can adjust what I need while rolling along at 110 without looking away from the road .
Im really wanting to know how these stack up against the new Cannon Alpha model, bang for buck wise atleast.
Great review..👍👍👍
JLC Polaris. Blancpain fifty fathoms. Glashutte original. All more expensive new and superior watches over a Rolex but all cheaper preowned. Really can't go wrong.

Can you do a review with towing (up to 3T) to understand engine performance
Interesting. I'm curious why we're seeing hardly any reviews of the Cannon Alpha diesel version. All seems to be about the petrol hybrid. And is that new diesel going into the non Alpha Cannon too?

From what I have seen from China they have the Standard Cannon with the new 2.4l Diesel in it now think it was released a few months ago, it also got an interior update (nearly identical to the tank300 interior) and a slight facelift. If they keep it same price could be a massive upgrade for the company

You’re right about the alpha reviews. The reviewers got excited about it being the first hybrid ute, hence it has been the focus. However most comparison is better achieved by them looking at the diesel version. If that bigger diesel gets thrown into the X, it will be a compelling proposition, and probably a better buy than the T60.

I’ve driven the 2.4 Cannon Alpha diesel, it went well, but a very firm ride, that put me right off, and the bloody safety systems wouldn’t shut up, a nice voice telling me to keep my eyes on the road, even when pulling out of an intersection, still, it can be turned off.

Guys!! The front end of this Ute is a blatant copy of Hyundai Palisade. I am surprised nobody noticed & commented on this
Everything is getting to expensive, having these cheaper utes is what we need so some of us have the chance to buy a new car 40k is still a fair chunk of money

I think the reviewers are disappointed that it didn’t match the expectations they had. Probably a bit like the Alpha.
Utes are way too expensive for what they are.
Greetings from QLD Cobas 🤠I'm pretty sure that tail gate will rust with that black plastic a guy told me it has over 50screws holding it on apart from that it looks well finished but I'm set in my ways I'll only buy a ute with a LandCruiser or Hilux badge 🤠👍👍🦘🐨 cheers ✌️🏁
Worst thing about this cheap shit. Everything is touch. No switch gear. Doesn’t even have a headlight switch ffs.
I think I’ll stick to my 2017 Holden Colorado LTZ
