Spotted something called a Great Wall Steed SE on the A55 last night. First of all I thought it was a Hilux

Quite common here in Chile.
Very cheap pickup trucks to compete in the Nissan-Toyota-Etc pickup truck market. Some mining and forest companies bought it but the results has been quite bad. If you like to buy one, be prepared to change it every year. Cheers! Eduardo MY 2007 110 SW PUMA 2.4: Big Fog of 64' MY 1994 Jayco 1207 Folding camper: "El Tremendo"  Click image to enlarge |

Theres a dealership relatively close to me A Good mate of mine has one, not done many miles and on its second engine. admittedly has a hard life and isnt cared for. They did do it under warranty though.
One of the fisherman where I live has one as-well though that drives through salt water regularly when the tides high and again isnt cared for and has no problems or rust yet. For the money though better off with a second hand hilux |

I was driving an Izuzu D-Max all weekend, I must say the ride was awful, so wobbly and the interior was dreadfully flimsy. But with a really torquey strong diesel and a 5 year warranty, it wasn't a bad truck for the money 2001 Td5 CSW (weekend and snow mobile) Plenty of lights, M/T tyres EGR delete, roofrack, swing away wheel carrier, snorkel.
