2023 SsangYong Musso - The BEST Truck You've NEVER Heard Of! [Review] [4K]

The SsangYong Musso is a bit of an unknown vehicle in the UK, despite the fact that SsangYong have been in the UK since 1996, and the Musso has been with us since 2006.

Powering this brute is a 2.2 litre, turbocharged 4 cylinder diesel that puts out 200bhp and 440Nm of torque. It's so much, that this is the only truck in its class that can simultaneously tow 3.5 tonnes and carry a tonne in the back!

So, the SsangYong Musso offers, great looks, creature comforts and superb driving characteristics, all for a low price. But is it any good?

Well, Jordan from Auto House has taken a look at this unsung hero.

I have an old Musso from 1998. My opinion: The best off-road vehicle I've ever had!

Do people look at this review it's a 4 door Ute if you want a bigger tray look at other products or put a after market one on . Considering the price what do you want . Toyota, Ford, Nissan, Vw ripping consumers off where do they justify the huge price. Difference.Musso made in ST Korea Toyota, Ford Mazda Isuzu made in Thailand, South Africa made there for. 1 Reason cheap labour yet still pay thousands

I am on my second Musso (still have the old MK2) now running a 2019 Mk5 Saracen yes they are reliable my old one finally gave up after twenty years of loyal service.
The Mk6 is nice they raised the ground clearance and changed the side steps but it has now been superseded by the Mk7, the Saracen plus was originally called the rhino but since Musso translated into English is rhino was a bit silly.
One thing taking both hands off the wheel whilst driving on the roads you were on is a bit worrying.

we bought one last week. the Saracen plus model. Really good vehicle compared to our 2015 wildtrak . We have also done a small review on our YouTube channel.

Hi - great review. Thank you. What is the Australian equivalent called of the exact Musso you have reviewed here? Thanks again! Ben

Doing 200 miles on the freeway today i only saw one. So i wonder about resale value.

Let’s look at it. They did well with caravan towing but were some years ago rather thirsty. The bed on the back is small which is fine for putting a cover on to house your dog, in cage, but would only carry a bale. The problem will be shortly in the future for all SUV’s the front is so high if you hit a pedestrian you will break their neck. This is now being talked about relative to SUV’s.
As for the extras who needs half of them in most cars we don’t have Death. Valley or Tundra. Fine for an electrician or plumber but they need a van. So your back caravan towing or swanning from one inspection on a building site to another. Most Farmers would want more carrying capacity because the sort of person who would purchase this wants to feed sheep etc. Of its type it is a good vehicle I have no doubt but crew cabs and short rear tubs have a limited market in the U.K. I suppose the most likely market is timber where the ability to carry chain saws and tow a mulcher as well as small crew would make it worthwhile.

Someone needs to do a cheap ute comparison between SsangYong, GWM and LDV

[johngrisham]

Why do people like the "big commanding front view? The recent trend with bigggg grills looks horrendous. Nice truck / ute / bakkie otherwise though.

[danielbridge]

Tell me you weren't paid by SsangYong without telling me you weren't paid by SsangYong?

So this vehicle has a 1350kg payload in the bin??. If you say it can tow 3500kg and carry 1000kg in the bin.
If the payload is 1000kg in the bin then you have to take into account the 350kg tow ball download so it can only carry 650kg max in the bin when towing
