Great Wall Steed (2012 - 2017)
Steed Tracker
Wouldn't buy another
Purchased this pickup as I was after a 4x4 that I could use in the winter off road but also use for my business, this seemed to fit the bill quite well.
At time of purchase, it had 60,000 miles on the clock at was priced at just under £6000
Within 3 months the truck had been to the workshop 3 times, twice for poor radiator hose connections and once as the seam on the rear of the cab was leaking, causing rainwater to pool in the footwell
After about 9 months, the truck would regularly pose power and go into limp mode, without warning, and I couldn't get it to go above 40mph. The workshop couldn't diagnose the issue.
After a year of various issues, mostly electrical, I sold the vehicle to a dealer for almost £2000 less than I'd paid for it. Overall, definitely not worth the hassle
Pros: cheap, unique, reasonable to run day to day
Cons: reliability, price of parts, no dealer support
