Yep.. I'm coming up to a year of ownership.. happy as

Yeah the step at tailgate is a copy of what Ford and Chevrolet had put on in the U.S.

Go and watch my .. 3 things that slightly annoying me about the GWM Cannon video 🤣

@@loudas Did you install a dashcam (hard wired) in your Canon? I can find fuses to tap in Best Regards

@@maku8112 There is a USB power port in the rear view mirror assembly

Fark fairly big price difference between wildtrack and cannon

@@JRtheBoy Yeah, I know. But I was also advised to get the best though. That price difference on a business account is OK for me :)

@@jameschen7357 was it a second hand ranger? How’s it going so far for you? I’m looking at a second hand ranger XLT with low km’s for a decent price atm

@@JRtheBoy No it's a brand new one on a car loan. I hope the reselling price would be OK otherwise I would be crying :)

Apparently the newest model has no lag .

Yeah mate ... I love it. It's a great all rounder. Check my other videos 😄

No, it is not a Toyota engine

Yep. It's full time awd 😊

Cool man :) So far (25000 kms in my truck, and 40000kms in the work truck) no dramas with the diesel motor

Oh .. I wonder if there is some older android problems ... I'm on a Samsung s20 which works ... I think I have an older Android kicking about ... I'll do some test

@@loudas Cheers Paul. I'm on Android 10 with the last update on 1st Aug. '21 so it's still getting support from Huawei. I thought a Chinese vehicle would communicate better with a Chinese mobile phone. Thanks again mate.

as a follow up. I have an Android tablet with Android 7 .. it simply won't work. I get an error on screen saying incompatible versioning. Maybe something else to check is your software version in the Cannon. Check for version ending in 2021-03-16

@@loudas Hey Paul, I opened the Android Auto app on my phone and went into settings and found a menu option called 'Previously connected cars' which had a switch to 'Add new cars to Android Auto' & text saying "When you connect your phone to a new car, the phone will only charge.". Flicking the switch on, Android Auto then began the setup for a new car. Problem now solved with my Cannon X now working fine with Android Auto. Cheers mate!

@@davidpalmer9780 great news!

Hey man !!! Hello to America ! Do you have GWM utes there?

@@loudas not yet sir. But I do like them. I really like the maxis T90!

@@billysturgeon8616 both are available here in Chile and I have had the privilege of sampling them and some of their rivals. The T90 is quite a bit more powerful and has plenty of features but overall it just feels like a response to the Cannon/Poer with a heavily upgraded and modified T60. The GWM product was developed from the ground up to the tune of billions of dollars, on a new platform with highly revised powertrains using renowned suppliers like ZF, Cooper, Bosch, Intel and the like and if things go the way GWM expects, it will be running off production lines in many countries to compete in many markets not unlike the Hilux. There are BEV, petrol and hybrid variants in the pipeline too. So it's an extremely ambitious product that will become its own range at some point, not just an admittedly very competitive rehash and it shows (at first glance even, as it's huge).

You'd use Cross Country Expert where you want the centre diff locked, but want to stay in high ratio. I've only used it "properly" once .. climbing a sand dune. I want as many wheel turning as possible, but also wanted speed.

Yeah I wonder that too 🤣

Not me

I went for the 4x4 L model

@@loudas do you reckon the upgrade from base was worth it?

@@DM-hc3sb not sure to be honest .. when i was shopping in Feb only the L model was available. I think it's got some luxury things , that make owning it .. i dunno .. just a little bit posh?

I have small boat, but there is a guy in NZ that has a digger rental business, and regularly tows 3 tonne

If you put it in 4L the centre dof is automatically locked

Both. I lift the filter, and made a bash plate for it. Have a look through my videos.

@@loudas how did you lift the filter? did you buy some kit?

@@jorfezu I made a box that the filter fit inside. then bolted it back in place, but higher

I dunno to be honest I do know this: rightcar.govt.nz/detail?plate=nhs740

In Australia tested and 5 stars it got in 2021. It is on KZfaq

@@Silvolde yeah newly released ancap rating. There is a safety notice for replacement parts for one produced before August 2021

Nah, stop and engage 4L

@@loudas Thanks Paul. Best regards.

Yes, I love it

It's always 4H .. all the time 😏 Have a look through my videos ... I hit the sand a few weeks back

Hey dude, actually I don't easily :) I don't use CCE mode anymore, I'm either sending it in normal mode, or sending it in 4L :)

yeah man .. going strong

@@loudas That's great, as it's difficult for a new brand to enter a new market. Typically, people tend to buy a car in their market. Considering parts availability, convenience, and the mechanics has already spend time Thank you for choosing a Chinese car, I hope it will work reliably for you for a long time.🙂

L

There is rear, and center diff locking

@@loudas in our market lacks this equipment. Overall... It seems a nice truck

Hey man, turn off your lane keep assist, then you can cycle left and right through your dash menus and see what the error is

I don't 😭 it's annoying eh?

There is a 4L and a normal (equivalent to 4H) The Cannon is fulltime all wheel drive. so is "always" in 4wd (unless you turn it off, by selecting "economy mode") Cross Country expert lock the centre diff, so you get a 50/50 split of power going to front, and to the rear. You can also lock the rear diff. Check the selector at kzfaq.info/get/bejne/g8l8lcZmkuDKgJ8.html

@@loudas I see

@@loudas I don`t won this vehicle, but that logic seems wrong. Pressing the traction control button should just turn tracktion control off, and the "cross country expert" is no way to allow driver to relate to center diff.... The design rule (regardless which country you are at) requires the icon to relate to the function. I don`t believe press and hold “traction control" lock/unlock a diff. But if the user manual says it, then I got nothing to say.....

@@JamesZJi I own two of these vehicles, and can absolutely guarantee that what I say is correct. But thanks for your comments 🤣🤣

there is a level in the footwell

Thanks, on the driver's side

Tar seal / or tarmac. Don't use CCE mode on ANY seal. Only on the dirt/mud etc

You are incorrect. Expert mode locks the CENTRE diff. The traction control button disables traction control. You are correct the diff lock button locks the REAR diff

it locks the centre diff .. plus apparently alters the gearbox for lower speed (but nobody can confirm that for me)

@@loudas how do you turn off cross country expert mode

@@tonyr484 tap the traction control button

@@loudas Cheers mate

🤣

When on the tarseal or tarmac

@@loudas aha, got it, thanks Paul.

None of that applies to me, as I'm not from Aussie :D New Zealanders (where I am from) are protected by our consumer guarantees act. I have an enforceable contract with my dealer. Roadside assist info here: www.gwmhaval.co.nz/roadside-assistance And warranty info (very brief quote) The GWM New Vehicle Warranty applies to all new GWM and HAVAL vehicles first sold in New Zealand through authorised dealers. All GWM and HAVAL vehicles are backed by a 5 year / 150,000 km warranty.

That roadside assist is the same as ours , nowhere in the terms of service is there a mention of either 100,000km or 150,000km limits. It was when calling roadside assist that I found out. I love your you tube stuff. It helped in my decision to buy a cannon. Only had minor electrical issues , but getting help from dealer or GWM, may as well ask the man in the moon.

@@harrysafari7106 thanks for the love ❤️🥰 Sad to hear your story. When I bought in Feb 2021 it was made very clear to me the terms of the roadside assist, and the warranty. This is my 3rd greatwall. My second greatwall from the current dealer. Sounds like i have a much better dealer than you ... sorry bruv

Doesn't need to . .it starts rusting about 3 years after you've replaced the gearbox for the second time in your Ranger :P HAHAHAHA

you must cool then

Minimize !! The missus is coming 🤣

Hi Sean, Here's what I have found (being an owner .. not just research) 1. Correct .. it has a huge turning circle. 2. I've not noticed any difference to my friends triton, or another friends ranger. 3. The safety rating is 5 star in NZ ( rightcar.govt.nz/detail?q=g52306 ) 4. My previous Greatwall v240, I had to make a warranty claim about the paint in year 3. Time will tell with the Cannon 5. Correct .. you need software upgrades and ecu upgrades. Greatwall are open about this, it is no secret. 6. No recalls on the Cannon (at least not in NZ), maybe you are referring to a Steed? (there has been a metric f@%K tonne of recalls on rangers) 7. No issue from me, or any other NZ'ers that are part of the owners group. 8. I can beat a 2.0TD ranger, and 2.4TD triton in a standing 0-60 .. so ... this is not true. Also, towing is on par with what is written on the tin ( link2.nz/GWhlL ) What you failed to list is the crazy amount of haters, that will go out of there way to dis the Greatwall products. I have no idea why .. it's mental.

@@loudas, regarding comparing the Gwm to a triton,absolutely incomparably,I know because I have owned a triton for 2 years towing a 2.5 tone boat. Look at the last Auzi ute drag test- the gwm came last" in black and white". Don't believe any article from gwm on Towing,simply put the Gwm is way down on performance. Regarding the 5 star rating in Nz ,this is not based on actual crash testing,this is still to be done ,do some research ,the 2021 test was cancelled due to covid ,the report you refer to is only feature based accounting. " not scientific at all ,to quote from your report - "Ratings are estimated from data on real crashes reported to police in Australia and New Zealand, and are updated annually." This is still a far cry from an actual Ancap rating. You need to look at it from all angles.

​@@seanleonard2912 LOL .. I don't need to .. I already own one ;)

@@loudas ,sorry to hear that, 🤣🤣🤣🤣

@@loudas good luck then!
