Great Wall Motors has revealed the Tank 300 Hooke Trail, a new special edition built for extreme off-roading and rock crawling.
The headline change is a dual live-axle configuration that replaces the standard model's independent double-wishbone front suspension.
The variant is based on the extended-wheelbase Tank 300L, which has a 3,010 mm wheelbase and a shorter front overhang.
The regular short-wheelbase Tank 300, with a 2,750 mm wheelbase, remains on sale.
The Hooke Trail takes its name from a popular off-road destination in the Helan Mountains, near the border between Ningxia and Inner Mongolia.
Chassis and Off-Road Hardware
The ladder-frame chassis gains a new solid front axle with 80 mm housing tubes, reinforced control arms, a Panhard rod with heavy-duty bushings, and solid tie rods.
GWM claims the upgrades increase suspension rigidity by 38%.
Standard equipment includes electro-hydraulic power steering, a Multi-Terrain Select system, and a semi-active electronic anti-roll bar disconnect that enables over 500 mm of wheel articulation.
GWM lists a 41-degree approach angle, a 34-degree departure angle, 245 mm of ground clearance, and an 850 mm wading depth.
The suspension setup can clear 35-inch tires, or even 40-inch rubber with a few modifications.
Visually, the Hooke Trail is set apart by a snorkel intake and special decals on the profile.
It also adopts the rugged bumpers and blacked-out grille of the 300L, and offers the same optional accessories such as a rooftop tent, a refrigerator, and extra LEDs.
