QUESTION

Hi John,

Would love to see a video on how the ratio of vehicle weight to trailer weight differs in terms of safety for you like the GWM Cannon compares to a semi-trailer.

The Great Wall can tow three tonnes, allegedly, which is about a 50:50 split between ute and trailer. Whereas the semi can tow 30 tonnes, which is about us 25:75 split.

Without wanting to sound like an idiot, why?

Thanks,

Smooth Walrus

Buying a 7-seat 4X4 wagon in Australia is serious business when you’re in need of an off-roader that can carry plenty of adventure gear, the family and tow a big boat or trailer. But spending six figures of your hard-earned money means asking some tough questions, and giving honest answers.
