KGM Musso Review & Why Does The UK Government Hate It? | 4K

In this video I take a look at the KGM (Formerally SsangYong) Musso Saracen to see how it stacks up in the UK Pick-Up market and how recent changes to how Double Cab Pick-Ups like this are taxed in the UK following on from Labours Autumn budget effect its viablity as your next purchase.

These things are incredibly under rated, absolute pearla of a ute, very happy with my purchase 🇦🇺

Watching your review from Australia and bloody brilliant! Here in Oz we don't get the roof rails which come pretty much standard on every other ute, great for mounting roof-top tents, but do get HID headlights and electric glass sunroof and 7-Year warranty. Those blanked off switches are for the lane keep assist and radar cruise control.

13:45 - Why are these changes to the way double-cab pick-up trucks are being taxed being introduced, so they are now classified as cars and are subject to those higher BIK rates?

I've just bought a 3 year old pre facelift Saracen, Absolutely love it. It is actually based on the Rexton. Hence front seats are heated and chilled with Nappa leather and why there are blanks here and there. The tub is much deeper than normal pickups too. If you are not a badge snob you can pick these up at very reasonable prices used as we did. The only negative and you didn't mention is curb weight. Because it's over 2 tons, it's classed as a commercial vehicle which means 50mph on single carriageway and 60pmh on dual. Not a problem for us as we bought it for caravan towing duties.

Great review, thank you. I have seen lot's of pick up tests from North America, Australia ans South Africa. And this was the best european and one of the best overall. Great you gave us all the payload and GVM as well as name the automatic brand. Someone mentioned in a different review that there is a automatic locking differential at the rear. Do you know something about it?

It should be noted if passed you're test after 1996 (about) you can not Tow more than 3500 gross train weight with out a light goods drivers class licence c i think

Interesting to see KGM 🇰🇷. Is that Musso - Saracen in TDi 🛻 spec?

[wainerollins]

Halogen headlights!😮
That would be enough to stop me from buying it.
Come on KGM, come into the 21st century.

Had one for 3 months only thing I would say is ground clearance everything else ok

I’ve owned 3 full of glitches in electrics . Current 2023 model had electrical faults for more than a year and they cannot fix it.
Won’t buy another and getting rid of current one.

Those Blank's on Steering Wheel.
I don't care Or Want to Know...
I Suppose it Could be for Lane Assist.
I Don't Have That in my 2023.
& Glad i don't...
They are a great Vehicle. Elx Xlv. Brilliant... 13:55
