First drive: GWM Cannon Alpha PHEV (on Australian roads)

In this video I answer the following viewer question on heavy towing:I'm trying to see through all the negativities that us Australians seem to pile on any product that comes out of China. I have to admit I'm finding myself joining the masses of flinging shit at everyone and everything these days. But I like the GWM Canon Alpha PHEV!!! And I'm not embarrassed to say I want one and I don't care what my mates say. My wife is crook, seriously. So we bought a brand new caravan, we can no longer camp in a tent together. I retired to look after her.What next?? I drive a 2016 SR Hilux 6 speed manual that was initially set up for touring. We've done the likes of the Canning Stock Route, and so in the past so we're not like the Chardonnay caravan park mob, no offence to them. But we do have our reasons to buy a van. My Hilux on the other hand is now overweight, wrongly set up to tow, etc, etc, etcetera John.Our van weighs 2 tonne, our tow vehicle is a little heavier that’s a tick. Our tow vehicle is just a little agricultural in comfort. The suspension is set up to carry weight, so towing she's a bit rough. We love her but the Canon is so appealing in many ways:Hybrid, towing capacity, super comfortable, coil sprung rear end, affordable for a retiree, when we're not touring we can use the electric drive around town. Also if I do decide to head off alone I can do moderate off road tours to my favourite places without a worry.I hope you're still awake John. We want to tow in comfort in a vehicle that is reliable and safe that's the crux of it. Your thoughts please.
