March 31st, 2012 10:27 AM #3I 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.Last edited by weisshorn; March 31st, 2012 at 10:33 AM.

March 31st, 2012 11:02 AM #4WOW! kung ang price talaga nito eh between 900000 to 1000000 pesos (4x4) ... then this is worth a second look.
Kasi sa size lang... parang kasing size na nun bagong Ford Ranger...
Based sa specs sa papers... OK din engine, tranny, etc...
Sana nga totoo.

March 31st, 2012 11:23 AM #7Tulas sir sa posted quote from australian web site sa back page. Mas malaki lang ang gulong ng 4x4. Yung riding height ay mataas, good visibility. Ang exterior fit ok din, it looks good. Sa loob ok naman siya pero syempre less compared to the new ford ranger. Originally Posted by cktlcmd

March 31st, 2012 12:26 PM #8110 kW (148 hp) at 3600 rpm, with peak torque of 360 Nm (266 lb ft) at 1800 rpm. Life to overhaul is expected to be 500,000 km. (quoted from SinoDiesel.com)
impressive numbers indeed. i can personally vouch for the reliability and durability of the cummins, but still has reservations on the ladder chasis and the front suspension.
