Are they really based on Mitsibishi? Based on as in a Chinese take on them or actually using old Mitsubishi presses for chassis etc but still Chinese steel and Chinese copies of chassis, steering etc etc. Really Mitsi and Gr8 Wall shouldn't be mentioned in the same sentence. Mitsubishi tend not to fall apart easily...

If the G Pro was $90k they would be flying out the door with auto, and lockers. So they are probably about $20k over priced.Quote:

Then came Magna which should have been sold with a spare transmission, not a spare wheel.Quote:

The engines are down tuned to run forever, this is typical japanese truck manufacturing mentality and it works, reliable
BigJ I was thinking Pajero and Triton. We are talking 4wds. I am sufficiently aged to recall the buckets of poo you refer to and have driven both when they were newly released

The OKA may not be ANCAP5 rated but it was Minespec when designed and built.
Maybe one of these could fit the bill sometime in the future.

The great wall only used mishibishi petrol engine. The diesel engine is developed and manufactured by themselves
In fact the great wall ute is basically a Isuzu d-max.Chassis is the almost same (liscences by Isuzu.....
I probably won't ever drive a great wall but note this, the great wall diesels engine produce more power that the defender 2.2...2.4 td5 and those before...

Its prize performance was an unscheduled holiday of three weeks in Broken Hill while waiting for brake parts to be flown in from China. At that stage its total mileage was about the distance from Yass to Broken Hill. Most of the time I have visited my son, the Great Wall is not in evidence, and careful questions indicate it is at the dealer.Quote:
