Off Topic / Re: Carexpert youtube channel latest Dmax/BT-50 fail

After reading the comments, went back and had a look at his youtube channel.

Looked for an actual offroad trip that would give him some creds and got sick of scrolling his vids on youtube... a lot of car reviews and a 12 hour bitumen only trip.
I'd guess he makes his money from advertising, partnerships, etc.
This site explains some of it https://sproutsocial.com/insights/how-to-make-money-on-youtube/

I'd gather he's not a 4wd (or car expert) expert but someone trying to make an income.
Until he's done something worthwhile like gunshot creek, the Finke or worse in a modded fourbie, he has no real offroad experience.

Advertising is pretty much how everone on Youtube makes their money, but seeing as how he was an equity shareholder of caradvice.com.au when it was sold to channel 9 for something like $62 million, he's probably not struggling to make ends meet lol.

I stopped watching that clown after he discounted every climate change skeptic as a loony tune.
He's not a scientist either, just another bull shizzer, who believes other bull shizzer's.

I've been waiting for the sea level to rise for the last 20 years, but Bondi Beach is still in Bondi, not Penrith.
What a hypocrite! Buys a fuel guzzling petrol 4wd like a Ranger Raptor and claims climate change as a truth!
I guess he does or did own a Tesla, because they are the Greenest car on the planet! I suppose his God is Elon Musk, as he has never been know to lie to gain a buck or 2? Mars anyone?

Ha ha!! That reminds me of a Graeme Connors classic, A Beach House in the Blue Mountains:

...Gonna build a lighthouse on the Three Sisters to welcome all the refugees
Up there in my beach house in the Blue Mountains, stay as long as you please...

Come on down Al (Gore) - haven't heard from him for a while - outshouted by Greta.

So you guys would all be happy to go down Billy Goats Bluff relying on the hill descent control to hold the vehicle back? 

I wouldn't.

I don't think I'd be happy doing that in any car, but that's just me.  I didn't read every word of the HDC blurb in the manual, but there looks to be a couple of ins and outs.  I'd be interested to see how the same slope would be handled with a foot covering the brake and TC on.

The only 4wd experience he has is backing out his Tesla over the gutter and parking it on wet grass! That BS course he runs for so called tests is a joke! He thinks the electronics should control everything in the car. So him and his desk jockey mates can just hold on to the steering wheel and climb Mt Everest! i am far from a 4wd expert. But, the first thing i do is, especially in muddy conditions, is turn off that stupid traction control. And thats in a Toyota Hilux. I do own a 2022 X Terrain

Carexpert is best treated as a source of entertainment.  Every comparo with the MUX in it pits the LS-T with its stupid HT-shod 20s against cars with 18"/AT combinations. 

"The MUX didn't cope so well with the balls-out rocky muddy sandy hillclimb..." gee, you reckon?

Maybe the bloke is a Ford lover but the footage of the Dmax/BT50 running away on the downhill slope with the HDC engaged was pretty worrying.
