Yep Fuso had their issues 2011 to 2015, but they seem to be sorted now, I have a 2010, would have no problem buying a 2022 @ $80,000 inc ORC, the Isuzu 4x4 truck is over the $100,000 + ORC so up there with the Cruiser and they have their issues too.
I have not seen one of those Gaz trucks in person yet, the build quality looks ok but the chassis looks al little thin for my liking, the price is $90,000 + ORC for the base model so its Isuzu and Landcruiser money.
Just having a look at the chassis flex in their promo vid, it looks like its not going to last long if you intend to do a lot of off-road work with the bumper nearly touching each headlight and the amount of tray flex, I cant see the chassis being a strong point with that much flex and im sure we will see some cracked ones in the future or even separation from the body mounts.
Looks like its more than a capable 4x4 but how is the long term reliability, will it last with what Australia will throw at it ? or will it just make it through the warranty period like most Lada's did
Pretty sure most new Landcruiser owners dont even go off-road, I think out of every 10 we see at work, 1 will have some dirt on it, I think its more that they cost $100,000 and people like to show off rather than having a practical car for their requirements.
