SsangYong (KGM) SsangYong Musso
The modern SsangYong Musso (from 2018 onwards) is a robust, highly capable pickup truck that offers unparalleled value for money in the UK commercial market. Based on the Rexton SUV platform, it uniquely features coil-spring rear suspension (on short-bed models), granting it a far more comfortable, SUV-like ride than leaf-sprung rivals like the Toyota Hilux. It boasts a 1-tonne payload and a 3.5-tonne towing capacity, making it a serious workhorse. Reliability is strong, backed by a class-leading 7-year warranty, though the 2.2-litre diesel engine can be thirsty and the infotainment feels slightly dated. It is perfect for builders, farmers, and caravan owners who want maximum capability and comfort on a strict budget.
