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 ($27,423).
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 ($2,540) 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 ($2,018) 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 ($1,717) 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 ($1,286).
Soft folding cover
This one costs just £320 ($418), 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.
