SsangYog Musso Sports

Bought it 7 months ago with all view to having it short term until I could manage to scrape together enough money for a better vehicle. Primarily purchased it due to the Mercedes connection. Parts....my god, parts are a problem. If you're lucky enough to find a wrecker that stocks Ssangyong parts, at least you can get back to work. But prepare to be slugged an absolute motza for the luxury. Driving is hairy as 100k plus, it's quite unstable, every now and then I could hear the roof flex with that wobbling metal sound. So I imagine that the stru...Read more

I have purchased a 2nd Musso, 2006 4x4 fully optioned, canopy, cruise control, tow bar, fog lights, larger fuel tank, alarm ( not really needed) car comes with immobiliser. Fully integrated pioneer sound system, have a good mechanic and a source for parts.

The ABS light issue is a computer logic error No. 41. needs to have diagnostic probes input into the car and this clears the error message.
Min problem is that car locking system gets a signal to lock the vehicle when the engine is running and keys in the ignition..

Hi I was looking for a cheap DualCab ute to replace my Hilux and after some research I thought I would get a good quality ute at an undervalued price with a Ssangyong Musso. I do quite a bit of mechanical work so I wasn't shy when I found a one owner that had a problem clutch/flywheel at a bargain price. I took it home shopped for a clutch and new flywheel as the dual mass flywheel had separated and making a horrible racket. Price was about $900 on ebay so shopped a bit more and found a secondhand engine with good clutch pressure plate and a so...Read more

I have a 2006 Musso Sports 2.9L Diesel manual with LPG injection. I'm the 3rd owner it has 160ks on the clock and is in very good condition. It has a performance exhaust system and with the LPG this car really gives great fuel economy. I have to keep looking to check to see if the 2 tonne trailer is still there as the Musso pulls very well.
It is quiet inside compared to our old Hilux. I have owned the Actyon Sports and it was very good all round traded on a SPR Rexton. The Musso is a bit "Old School" but off road feels more sure of itself. Th...Read more

I bought my 2004 Musso Sports 2.9l turbo Diesel Manual Sports 18 months ago with 160,000 klms on the clock secondhand to pull a small caravan...Had no idea that it would totally surpass all of my expectations in such a short time!!! Firstly, it was crushingly cheap (as a secondhand 4wd for this year and mileage it was awesome...I had been looking at Landcruisers and Pajeros... all much older and with 300,000 klms plus for similar money...budget was around $6K.).. my Musso was fully appointed and accessorized, beautifully built, simple and st...Read more

Like my musso, so far have found great economy and reasonable reliability.148000km and the diff gave up for some reason at 120000, cost $2000.00 for 2nd hand fitted . This has been the only major repair so far! Changed gearbox oil as it seemed a bit crunchy getting into third gear, the oil I replaced was incorrect, the gearbox takes automatic transmission fluid not gear oil!! The right stuff( dexron111) solved the problem. I now prefer to service myself as of no confidence in service dealers. Wonder if the diff had correct oil replacement, ? If...Read more

Bought ours new in 05 We have been right around Australia towing a light caravan (did 30.000 Klm that trip) after that we took it and punished it up the Old Telegraph Track to the top, it went where all the so called "big boys" went with ease.
It is looked after well (by me, a retired deisel engineer) with an opened out exhaust, street legal, sounds beautiful! and it has raised the power by at least fifteen "GGs'
Last week we did a trip from Bribie Island to Coffs Harbour without anything behind it and sat on around 100-105 and returned hei...Read more

north east dealer in adelaide are very poor service people and will duck rather than except to repair things quickly, first 6 month's of owning the car, the dealer had it more than i did . they have put grease marks on carpet and sun visor, paint on driver seat and dash which they denied until i seen the same paint on their workshop floor . they left oil filter cap loose causing a mess after service . always forgetting to order parts to do warranty repairs causing several trips to get things done, they seem to cause more damage to cars than...Read more

2006 Ssangyong musso sports 4x4 black auto... bought the car 2nd hand from a dealer back in 2007 with 35000km on the clock. recently i decided to upgrade to a toyota hilux sr 4x4 and will pick up the vehicle mid next week. The Musso had recently done 215,000km and apart from some minor issues, it was one awesome vehicle, all my friends had the normal hilux, triton etc and all were not impressed when i rolled up in the Musso...the car was simply great... reliable and a work horse... most undervalued vehicle on the market.. and this is coming fro...Read more

i needed a 4x4 for work (family business) and was shocked to find all the utes had such high klms for my budget, so i took a punt and went to a dealer to check it out, i can only compare to my previous 2 utes (98 triton and 02 navara) and i must say that i was impressed with the solid feel and quality of plastics and lack of rattles.
I tested the Actyon and felt i liked the old school of the 2006 musso a bit better, it has ample power, is very comfortable (im 6 foot) you dont feel like your sitting on the floor like other utes so you get bet...Read more

You get what you pay for.
I think mechanics are good but bodywork and electrics not as good.
I dont see to many of the Musso Sports type here, its nice to know that there are others out there, even if they are at the other side of the world.
The Musso has been quite popular here in Iceland but I dont see to many Sport.For 2005 model with 36K km it was a good price for 4x4.Comfortable ride, seats 4-5 people well.Economy alright for this size of car.I believe engine and drivetrain is of good quality.
A bit wobbly on the tarmac but good on grav...Read more
