Re: New Foton pick up (2012)
mag kanu kaya price nyan?
Re: New Foton pick up (2012)
Based sa na-basa ko sa net... 30000 AUD... so about 1.4M Pesos... yun 4x4 ha... :twak2:
Pan laban daw kasi sa major brands such as Ford, Mazda, Izusu, Toyota, and Mitshubishi.
Pero sa akin lang... kung 1.4M Pesos na din lang... eh mag Izuzu o Toyota na lang ako. :nod:
Dapat kung gusto nila mabenta yan dito sa atin... dapat 1M Pesos flat or below ang price. :nod:

Re: New Foton pick up (2012)
Price for 4x2 is 878K. Surprise! Surprise!
The 4x4 variant has no price yet based from yesterday's MIAS. But difference in looks is thesame. Same body dimensions and engine power output.
Fits and fittings are all good which hopefully translate to overall quality. Foton Thunder is somethings to consider buying a pick-up truck.
Best deal for the money I should say.

Re: New Foton pick up (2012)
The front end has a styling fascia that brings to mind a Toyota Hilux, while the fenders remind me of a Ford Ranger with what appears to be a side air intake.
Anyone have an idea of how reliable a CUMMINS diesel is? I know CUMMINS manufactures engines for heavy equipment and some armored vehicles used by the military.
Re: New Foton pick up (2012)

Re: New Foton pick up (2012)
I think this truck is about a copy of Toyota Tundra (my guess). Tumagal ako dito sa ka-inspection. Pati ilalim tiningnan ko. Ayon sa Foton global website ang tranny is from cadillac and rated 2.5T truck. I have no reservation that cummns engine is a tough one (beat isuzu technolgy in my own assumption). Di ko lang sigurado if the turbo is vgt or non-vgt, walang tao doon na makasagot sa tanong ko eh. Kulang-kulang kasi ang technical specs sa bronchure nila. One thing is sure: engine by cummins & fuel injection system by "Bosch" of germany (the same common rail system use by Hyundai-KIA). I can't wait to test drive this pick up.
At 878K the 4x2 manual, yes bang for the back I should say.
