I purchased my Musso in May. A great drive. Like that it is Korean made & not Chinese. Seems really well built & for a cheap ute, smooth to drive. What a price for all the fantastic features and benefits with the Lux pack. When i was buying had a test drive of the LDV then the Musso straight after. It was like chalk & cheese. Starting to see more on the road. If your looking to buy a cheap ute thats not cheap!! This is the one. Love it.

got the ultimate plus 5 years ago this week,177,oooklms,drives like new, still looks new, will get 2024 mod soon😁

Needed to touch on that the base model EXL in the XLV with leaf rear springs has over 1000 kg payload and a GVM of 3200 kg and a GCM of 6700 kg 👍

Try under $40K in rural areas when it is ex-demo. They are an absolute bargain for what you get and are not Chinese.

That's what I got

I bought an ultimate swb with luxury pack for only $41k back in May, a hell of a car for that price, with almost every thing that you could ask for. Love it!

My 2023 elx LWB has been a pleasure to drive. 27K so far. If Ssangyong stay in business, I would buy another. Will see how longer term reliability goes.

My old Musso sport 2005 modal had 4 wheel disc brakes, new utes now a day still run drum rear.

These cars are seriously undervalued! Top quality inside, love it! Even better with our custom body mounts too!

First service for mine was over $600. The capped price servicing is basically to cover labor only. Atleast thats what the stealer... I mean dealer told me. Was annoying to find out afterwards.

I have one! Awesome, no comparison with Chinese utes. Tows my 2 tonne boat and van with ease. I would recommend suspension upgrade and airbags, both fitted by dealer. Also fitted a throttle controller, makes a big difference particularly on take off. One year of ownership and am loving it.

I have a family old Musso 1997/1998 YoM, this thing has been a daily driver for all those years, and still works well today, also love the 2024 one, guess will get one soon..

Main criticism coming from blokes who reckon it's looks wouldn't match their handbags.😂

What a lot of reviews miss on the Musso is 2 very important design characteristics. 1. Wading depth is 350mm which is the lowest of all utes. 2. Centre bearing/driveline bearing is housed within the cross member, this means you cannot install a diff drop/trans drop if you install a lift which most owners would do as standard the Musso has very low clearance.

Major issues not raised, thanks for putting them forward.

Love Mine 2024 SWB Luxury..great car

The lap seatbelt in the back must be legal in Australia or that ute would not be able to be registered.

Did they fixed the big problems with handbrake from previous utes?

Got one, good buy for the price

PERFECT CAR

No adaptive cruise control means doesn't even make the starting line. Missing what is essentially a standard feature these days means no matter what other specs and advantages it has it's not even up for consideration.

how on earth is Ssangyong still around? 😂 always looked a full generation behind

I think I would look at this instead of the underwhelming engine in the Tasman

We do expect the Tasman to pack slightly more punch but the smoothness of the Musso is certainly nice and it’s probably capable enough for most people.

@@chasingcarsnot very capable unless your just doing light beach work with no water crossings. Only 350mm wading depth and you can’t lift the coil model past 43 to 47mm with affecting pinion angles and there is currently no way to realign the angles. Normally you would install a driveline bearing drop kit but this can’t be done with the Musso as the centre bearing goes through the cross member chassis.

Greetings from Pakistan🇵🇰 ! I just purchased one of these trucks , i was looking for a Ranger , F150 and a Colorado, but I got a better deal .

I'm waiting to hear if there is a fix for some utes that have a rear vibration at 80kmphr.

​​@@robertowen8919fascinated to hear this as my brother in law just got one, like it's just one month old, had to wait for it to come into dealership so it's new stock right. If we just drive round town all is good, but out on hwy over 80klms an hour I begin to feel ill as a passenger, if I study my seat, it's vibrating, hence vibrating my body ever so lightly, my gut totally dislikes that sensation, drop back below 80 in town all good. No sensational of a tyre balance issue, it's certainly a drive line issue. Now if he wants to go anywhere, I encourage him to take his wife's Kia or my Patrol. Wonder if coils would help??? Hmm, otherwise it's a great finish. My money in this category would go down in a GWM Cannon, certainly better equipped and as spacious.

@@ianweal3081 I love the features the Musso offers, but that feeling of the car shaking which almost feels like the result of the coil rear suspension just turned me off it. Maybe if there is weight in the tub it'll settle down but in the Cannon it smooth and stable. I'm sure there are a lot of components in all makes of vehicles that are made in China so people being brand or country snobs is just silly to me. I'm pretty sold on the Cannon overall, drives nicely and looks much better than the Musso too.

I recently had my 21 t60 serviced and my loan car was a Cannon ute of same year and similar K's. both the t60 and gwm are the base models. i found the cannon quieter and more modern looking inside, had fake leather seats where the ldv has cloth. in a few ways i think the ldv was better for me, it has a better stereo and climate control. gwm was normal air con. Throttle control set at U4 works well for me. Without that the gwm would eat the ldv on take off but I found for me the LDV seems like more power. Back to current subject, I would love to see a comparison of all BASE models (4x4 Auto) head to head, GWM V LDV V Musso V Mahindra

I belive the engine is from hyundai.

im sure it a good car but why did they make it so awkward looking

Wired Apple car play? Not good.

Warranty = 7 years! Really! This outfit won’t be here in 7 years. They change ownership - like I change underpants! Everyday!

The vibration thing is certainly a conspiracy...no mention of it here

In Korea, Ssangyong is officially dead. They were bought out by a Korean company called KG and now all of their rigs are called "KG Mobility". To me, it sounds like a telecom company.

Who owns this brand?? Seriously? They are a mess financially. Long term buying this brand is committing suicide. Who will own them tomorrow? Who knows! Personally $45k tooooooo high. For its track record $30k. Here today changed tomorrow! Where is the Rhino name now?

The torque for the Musso is pathetic!!

Missed oppertunity to not have any form of electrification, that's where the Chinese wins hands down in tbis class

its not pretty to look at tho
