Foton thunder pick-up

[awallit]

Thunder Speed: speed still goes up except that open road is running out...

Check that engine rpm... can still go up to 4,000rpm at probably 200KPH. Still safe and far away from the red line.

Thunder at lightning speed!

wala pa rin akong makita sa kalsada nito...


bakit parang nilangaw, astig pa naman ang porma.

China made kasi. Maraming prospective buyer na basta china made di na nila titingnan ang unit. di nila rin alam kung ano mga ginamit as in engine, tranmission, differential, etc.. Kulang din sa promotion/advert ang Foton..

i guess ang magic number sa pricing sa china brands eh nasa 699k (or below) to grab attention.

ive seen a few, maganda siya, its a toyota hilux body with remolded panels, theyve added creases

Test drove a Thunder unit a couple of weeks ago in MIAS. Didn't expect the performance of it coming from a chinese brand automobile. The power of the engine is very impressive, the acceleration is great. Ride comfort is indeed a thumbs up. Eyeing to buy one soon.

magkano srp ng manual tranny variant ngayon? may existing promo kaya ang foton thunder?

[eduardo09]

The SRP for the 4x2 is 898k. Yes, I saw an ad for their promo in the newspaper last week. Planning to visit their dealership hopefully by next week. Kapag nakaluwag luwag na....

Na-test drive ko yung 4x2 variant. Drove it outside of WTC, though the imposed speed limit around the streets of Macapagal is up to 60kph only, eh makulit tayo, napa-abot ko pa din ng 120kph ng walang kahirap-hirap. Bilis at ang ganda ng takbo, parang hindi china brand.

at 5th gear, 165km/h, your rpm is just 3000rpm. ganyan kalakas ang cummins engine ng thunder...

magkaron po kaya ng automatic transmission variant itong foton thunder?

[curacha_101]

magkaron po kaya ng automatic transmission variant itong foton thunder?

Meron a/t variant tong thunder pero hindi nilabas dito sa pinas, alam ko sa china meron. parang kasi ginwa ng foton philippines na for commercial vehicle or pang masa yung dating nila mas mura diba kasi pag m/t kesa sa a/t? for my opinion lang nman yun.

Test drive ako ng Foton thunder kanina , wala ako masabi napa wow ako, parang tunog 4jb1 nga lang yung engine same sa blizzard , pero ang ganda ng performance, Ang lakas ng response ng engine at maganda din yung handling ng thunder kahit malaki siya *140kph napaliko ako sa medyo curve na daan stable pa din siya , ang napansin ko nga lang sa kapag lumalagpas ng 4k rpm sa bawat shift ko nawawalan na ng power , halos galit na lang ng engine

Hindi ko aakalain na ganun kalakas yung foton thunder , kaya makipag sabayan sa acceleration sa mga powerfull diesel engine ngayun , ewan ko lang sa duluhan takbo .pero WOW talaga panalo , sana mag promo sila na bumaba pa sa SRP nila heeheh

got my red thunder for a week (thanks Foton Cebu for a very good price) initial impression good engine performance (just a little noisy), powerful-torquey, very nice and rigid chassis coupled with good suspension, nice features, good design, easy to drive, just got some rattling sound from rear seats maybe loose bolts or the seatbelt hook are the cause. overall.. nice truck and good value for money....just crossing my fingers that parts and servicing will not be a problem in the future..

sir yetski... yung head unit ng thunder mo LCD type na?

Wow! You guys have awesome feedback regarding the Foton Thunder! I've been researching regarding the truck and I'm a bit confused if I'd go with the new Dmax or the Thunder. Those 2 are my only choices. I know Ford got the Wildtrak and Chevrolet got the Colorado but It's Dmax or thunder for me because of the price. It's either high priced(dmax) or the thunder(value for money price).

So, since I've heard awesome feedback here regarding the thunder, I think it's time for me to test it out. I'm very particular with the suspension and the comfort and stability it could give even if it's a pick up. My Dad got a 2nd hand 7 year old pick up before and I was very disappointed it made me replace it's leaf spring with Tiger.

Thanks!

[weisshorn]

pls keep the feed back coming mga sir.ako interested din dito.first time nakita ko sa mias ang thunder, tumagal ako sa ka inspection niyong pick up, ok lang sa kin kahit china pero quality naman ang makina, transmision at diferential..
