After seeing the new rager in person, lets just say im not impress. Rear cab isnt that big. Sa pictures is like a huge truck but in actual its not. The side looks so bald and plain, the front end looks too futuristic without any hint of musculine touch, its a pick up truck without macho look at the front end. The interior, the front dashboard ate up too much space.

I love the 2.2 liter with 150ps/370nm power. I cant wait to test drive one. control panels on the steering wheel are ergonimically placed. Soft seats and black interior is great. I love the snorkel attachment, no need to drill a hole just to attach a snorkel. Splash guard included for the rear.

I like the thunder! Its cheap but im sure the ride wont be that comfortable. Cummins 2.8 engine is a plus factor. Puedeng puede pang karga and business use

Stumble upon this article in aus website. This might be of interest to our fellow tsikoteers. In this article please take note of the mentioned

Although it does not spin as high as some of the small European diesels, its flat torque curve provides plenty of truck-like, usable grunt.

On our short drive alongside the Cummins plant, the engine delivered plenty of punch down low and was best when short-shifted through the five-speed Getrag gearbox.

"Foton claims a 4-star Euro NCAP safety rating for Tunland while BT50, Ranger and Amarok have achieved the highest 5-star ANCAP ratings."

In one again aus web site it says:

Tunland has excellent street cred with its drivetrain; Cummins engine, Getrag gearbox, Dana rear axle and, in the case of the 4X4 models, a Borg-Warner transfer box.

Sounds a true workhorse, at such you can forget the comfortable ride when driven with light load.
