Foton thunder pick-up

[Alpha_One]

i felt the clutch pedal is a bit to hard for me to depress and i did not see a transfer case shift lever on the 4x4 model. and there aren't any foton models to be found

Yes, the clutch pedal is rather on the heavy side. As for the 4x4 controls, they're push button controls in front of the shift lever.

The biggest attraction here is the Cummins ISF Engine. The 2.8L ISF produces 160hp and 265 lb/ft of torque. Cummins engines are easily tweaked without much modification to get at least 25% more HP and torque. I have worked on ISB's, 4BT's and ISM's and know the control systems pretty well.

If the transmission and diffs hold up this promises to be a great truck. I am going to wait for the 4x4 version personally. If the 4x4 were out today I would buy one immediately. Finally a locally available pickup truck with a decent engine.

PS. I'm not a salesman.
I'm just interested in this pick-up truck inspired by its 878K php price tag of the 4x2 manual variant.

Gumagawa ba ng cummins engine ang Dongfeng?

In the link sa previous page ito ay gawa ng BFCEC (Beijing Foton Cummins Engine Corporation). May video clip sa link page about this company.

Umaandar ba ang makina ng idepress ang clutch pedal. As per bronchure the clutch feature "vacuum clutch booster". Matigas nga pag patay ang makina.

Meron sir thread under chinese car about this Foton Thunder. He, he.. same here I'm very much interested with these pick-up truck because of its engine & power train. (it says the tranny is from cadillac??) & most of all the price tag. No where you can find from other brand a pick up with as much power & torque with lower than 900K php tag price.

If ever, I will be your first client for the additional power tweak

Ganda pala tung New Foton Thunder worth na rin sa Price nya

[renzo_d10]

I wonder how does this compare to the current Foton Blizzard -- build-wise that is.

[greatauror28]

Nakita ko ito kanina sa MIAS, and man I thought this is mitsu/toyota/isuzu pickup but behold - it's a foton!
Nicely build body, decent dashboard layout and knobs. Nice fabric seat too.
I wonder if the engine performance will give its competitors a run for their money.

[eggman]

Maganda tong Foton Thunder..Mas mukha pang maayos to kaysa sa Hilux E 4X2.

May Dual Airbags at ABS yung 4X2 variant!

[weisshorn]

Ito ba yong Tunland sa ibang market?

Yes sir, yan na nga

[AKI125]

Sarap ipaint ng body color yun grille niya and leaving the foton logo chrome. This truck is definitely a best buy. Im not sure lang kung meron available na canopy coz the tailgate was altered compared yun hilux so mukhang bitin yun canopy for hilux dito.

More pictures please... for us less fortunate to be trapped outside Manila due to work... hehehe
