GWM Tank 300 ute imagined: This or a Gladiator? 🤔

July 20: GWM Tank 300 driven on-road and off

GWM's Tank 300 is here, and we've had a proper run off-road. Get Tristan Tancredi's thoughts here.

He mentions the Wrangler, like, SIX TIMES. Six!

We've already said the Tank 300 looks like better value than a new Jeep Wrangler, so... how about a Gladiator rival?

Based off Johnny Law's first local drive back in January, we reckon China's GWM Tank 300 could be better buying than a Wrangler, for all but the most hardcore off-roaders (and maybe even them too).

That got us to wondering about the potential for a Tank-badged rival to the Wrangler's pickup brother, the Gladiator – and it seems our mouse-wielding mate Theottle was wondering the same.

Introducing, Theo's take on a GWM Tank 300 ute.

Its styling is perhaps a little more tame than the Gladiator's muscly military looks, but it might be just the sort of understated 'halfway' hero ute some buyers are looking for – not as nuts or as expensive as a Gladiator, but cooler-looking than any of the conventional utes on offer here.

As for the Tank 300's fortunes in Australia so far, it doesn't appear to be doing too well.

With just nine units registered in January, and a mere two in February, it seems to be struggling to find fans.

Could that simply be down to marketing and/or supply? We've put in a call with GWM's Australian arm and we'll update this story when we know more.
