Whether you’re on the hunt for a rugged workhorse or a versatile everyday pickup, the KGM Musso stands out in a crowded market. With impressive towing capability, strong diesel power and a generous warranty, it’s an option worth considering — especially for businesses or owners who value robust performance and long‑term peace of mind.

The KGM Musso pickup (formerly SsangYong Musso) is a double‑cab 4x4 designed for drivers who want a blend of commercial capability and everyday usability. Built on a rugged body‑on‑frame chassis with selectable four‑wheel drive, this pickup is equally at home on construction sites, farm tracks or towing trailers on motorways. With a braked towing capacity of up to 3.5 tonnes and a payload capacity of over 1,000 kg, it’s one of the most capable diesel pickups in its class.

5-Year KGM Warranty

One of the biggest benefits of choosing a KGM Musso at SERE Motors Belfast is the outstanding 5‑year / 100,000‑mile manufacturer warranty. This is notably longer than many competitors’ basic three‑year warranties and reflects the confidence KGM has in the durability and quality of the Musso.

What this means for you:

  • Longer coverage: More reassurance against unexpected issues compared with many rivals.
  • Better residual values: A strong warranty can help protect resale and fleet values.
  • Peace of mind: Whether you use the Musso for business or leisure, you’re backed by a warranty that’s built for the long haul.
