What was the weight of what you were towing? I am thinking about the Actyon Sport, however everybody is questioning me about it… as if it cant do what I want.
I am looking at towing a horse float with a 600kg horse.
There are a few hills around here too… so any info would be great.
Cheers

well well, most of u guys think the toyota, nissan, mazda and all the other utes have great shapes!! Bull dust!!! At least I feel comfortable in my actyon sports ute, has everything I need from a ute and more, compared to the other boring utes that are overpriced and all look very similar. You drive your crap utes and leave these luxury elegant Ssang yongs to individuals, hee hee.

what a waste of page-space your fatuous, asinine comment is. Something so stupid does not deserve to be here, or have attention given to it.

The salesman – This is the most sensible and well-reasoned comment on this page. It won’t take long for them to be making cars just as good as the others. Casey – what SsangYong have here is a decent work vehicle. A worse mistake for them would be to under-value it – its not some mock up limited run of bits of old cars dubiously welded together in the back of someone’s shed. It is a world-class product that is fighting for respect amongst its already well-establish, well-respected competitors. Making a car is expensive; presumably far more so for a developing brand like SsangYong than one that is well establish and respected. Im sure you will be eating your words.

I’m a relatively new owner of a 2006 Ssangyong Musso Sports and have spent some time towing my ‘van around SE Aus over a few ‘little’ hills. I was very chuffed at the performance and comfort and would have no hesitation in recommending it to anyone. As for the no-brains ‘style gurus’have you looked at the latest offering from Nissan and Mazda? Hippos rumps!!

…And I own a Ssangyong Musso Sports too, and its a great car. A very good ride with a good turbo diesel engine and more comfortable than my VT Commodore.
Just a few words for some of the writers above – who clearly know everything…..
The engine is a Mercedes 5 Cylinder Turbo Diesel made with both Mercedes and Mercedes licensed parts by Ssangyong.
The gearbox is made….. In Albury Wodonga, a T5, five speed manual and is the same as used in many Commodores and Falcons.
The turbo Charger is a Garrett.
The Alternator is by the US`s biggest manufacturer….
The list goes on……..
Its a pity that the writers don`t like quality products by some of the worlds leading auto manufacturers..

Well you’ve got a good one then beause I had one as well, and it spent alot of time in the workshop. The build quality was terrible. The resale is terrible, so if you’ve got a good example, keep it!

I have had my Ssangyong Musso Sports ute for over 4 years and it has never let me down and boy I have taken it places that my 80 Series Cruiser would have balked at. Sister in law has a Rexton and her rural road has worn out a Volvo Cross Country & a Subaru Outback in no time but the Rexton just doesn’t brake. I have test driven the SPR Ute it it was amazing but until I break the Musso Sports it will have to wait but ond day for sure I will own one.
