In this week’s instalment of Drive Time John Murdoch gets behind the wheel of the impressive KGM Musso Saracen+ pick up truck which offers performance and ability at a great price.

John also reveals that the fastest ever production VW Golf will soon be available in the UK market. Korean manufacturer SsangYong may have changed its name in the UK to KGM but the company is still building vehicles that are great value for money and that is especially true for its tough four-wheel-drive pick-ups.A revamped and smarter looking Musso entered the market last year boasting a striking chrome-finished front and grille to enhance the looks of its top-selling Saracen and Saracen+ models.The Musso is available in four specifications - EX, Rebel and Saracen in standard bed length, and the Saracen+ I have been sampling with a longer length loading bed.The Lanarkshire Live app is available to download now.
