CarTell take
We haven't driven the Musso yet. On paper, confirm the MY25 active-safety update is fitted on the actual stock unit. Resale on KGM-badged Mussos is still finding its level, factor that into total cost of ownership.
Why consider it
- 3,500 kg braked tow rating standard from the base ELX, 7-year unlimited-km warranty (longest in the 4x4 ute class), and a 2.2 turbo-diesel paired to an Aisin six-speed auto that fleet workshops already know.
What to know
- ANCAP rating dates to 2018 and applies to the pre-update model.
- 148 kW / 441 Nm trails the Ranger Bi-Turbo and HiLux GR Sport, and the dealer network is smaller than the Japanese mainstream.
Who it suits
Tow buyers wanting 3,500 kg braked from a base grade, trade fleets after the XLV long-tub body, warranty seekers chasing 7 years unlimited km, and budget-led ute shoppers wanting in from $42,500 drive-away.
