If you’re in the market for a reasonably priced
pickup truck in the UK, the all-new SsangYong Musso deserves at least a look,
seen as how it’s priced from just £ 20,995.
Now, depending on which version of the truck you
purchase, you can fit it with no fewer than five hard top designs, some of
which still allow for that classic pickup appearance to break through, while
the others turn the Musso into more of an SUV, visually speaking.
Luxury hard top
The range-topping luxury hard top costs upwards of
£ 1,945 and adds roof rails, LED interior lighting, a body-colored
spoiler, front sliding window, hinged rear screen, tinted side windows with
opening rear element, plus a heated rear window. You also get an LED high level
brake light, patented water drainage system and central locking with an
electronic soft touch tailgate release. You can also match it with other
SsangYong approved accessories such as roof rail cross bars or a ladder rack.
Hi-Spec hard top
Yet another color coded product, this one comes with
roof rails, a rear spoiler, side opening windows, tinted side windows, heated
rear window, sliding front window, interior lighting, high level brake light,
central locking and a manual lock. The price is £ 1,545 and other
accessories such as roof rail cross bars can be added along with it – as
visible on this Musso Saracen model.
Tonneau roll top
This is a retractable aluminum hard tonneau cover
and it is available in silver or black. Customers can lock it in three
positions, which means that it comes in handy when looking to carry larger
items, while allowing for easy access to the three open sides of the load area. It costs £ 1,315 and it
can be matched to additional accessories like a black sports bar, chrome sports
bar and a load bed section divider.
Hard folding cover
As seen on this Musso Rebel model, the three piece
hard folding UV resistant cover can be secured in various positions so that it
still allows for easy access. It also can be fully opened for transporting
larger items and it’s finished in black. The price is £ 985.
Soft folding cover
This one costs just £ 320, comes with two
metal cross member supports, is also UV resistant and can be locked in an open
position. All prices exclude VAT and fitting.
