    I have a foton cyclone truck. And all I can say is sobrang sisi ako sa pagbili ko nito. Poor quality, poor after sales service and deceptive sales tactics. Wala pang one month twice ko na pinagawa. Na tow pa yung truck once dahil ang taas nung temp meter nila, kala tuloy nung driver ko magooverheat kaya nung itinabi muna para lagyan ng tubig na tow sila. Mahina pa ang hatak pagincline yung road. Hirap na siya papuntang antipolo (half full yung truck) while yung ibang surplus truck ko kahit puno truck hindi nahihirapan. This truck (2months old) has already given me more problems than my other surplus trucks. Kaya for me better buy parin ang japan surplus truck, doesn't matter if mura ang foton it's not worth the trouble.

    my office just bought a Foton Tornado truck a couple of months ago, at 2,350 km milleage, nag pumping oil na yung engine, we brought it back to foton, they opened the engine and they saw that the Connecting Rod of the #3 cylinder was bent, they said water entered the engine, which was quite impossible since when our area flooded we did not use the vehicle anymore, they didn't want to fix the unit under warranty stating it was negligence which caused the vehicle to be damaged! the service manager (which was from other jap brand dealership) told us to ask for Good Will Warranty from the warranty officer, which he said other brands extend to their customers...the A**hole warranty manager just said they don't give Good Will Warranties!! when we went there the mechanics told us secretly that the metal used in the Foton engines were quite poor and easily bends or breaks!

    We're now with a piece of Brand New Crap that doesn't work and we're paying for the amortization for nothing!

    Foton is cheap....and expect the same thing for their quality and aftermarket service...no amount of difference in price from the Leading brands (Isuzu, Mitsubishi) is worth the frustration and trouble it will give poor buyers.
