The Koreans and Japanese are trying their very best to go upmarket. The budget market void will be filled in by the Chinese soon. Like or not, this is the shape of things to come.
I would rather the Ranger and Hilux gets build in China than Thailand lol
Sooner or later my Ranger will drive like a Coconut curry lol..Thailand makes the best Coconut curry in the World lol... Ouch
I don't see why that is carved in stone by any measure at all.
I owned a foton tunland and it's called foton thunder here in Philippines after 18000 kilometer of running I had only 2 complaints. first the intercooler hose on the cooler side blow-up at 180km/hr speed. second the aircon is not so cold. Engine is excellent, Brake is excellent, body built is excellent, suspension is excellent. My call for foton and I wish youve read this please provide a mass intercooler hose for tunland because sooner or later it will burst as what happens to mine and I strongly suggest that you integrate Panasonic air-conditioning to your vehicles and I'm serious
what does panasonic do that other companies dont for AC?
wax333 and I’m serious
How in Jesus did you get this thing to 180km/h in the philippines - you must have been hitting a lot of roosters, pedestrians, other farm animals in the road
@@zealman79 now It's been 6 years but this pickup truck is still running like new cummins engine still fresh and the air conditioning still very cold since i've changed the cabin filter no rattles yet and no rust yet on my part. I do the changing of all filters including change oil. I could say i am lucky with this vehicle
@@zealman79 we have expressways here dont belittle a country that you havent been to
I bought a Foton s it's in 2216 of Garry Cochran motors Christchurch NZ I have now done 40000. KMS and have replaced 2 light bulbs I plan to replace with 2018 module soon. Fantastic truck fantastic value
I road tested one of these. Found the clutch heavy. Bought a new triton instead glad I did.
Stendec Stretcher how much
I road tested and bought one today and found the clutch pedal surprisingly very light.
I brought one 18 months ago. I have a couple of problems with it.
It has a hesitation in the throttle on take off (common with all turbo diesels? No it's not). I have driven many different make and none have had this problem. I am told that the latest ECU update will fix this.
After about 10000kms it developed a bad clutch slip when it is under heavy work load in hot weather. I had it adjusted by the dealer and other mechanics but still slipped. I noticed that as the hydraulic system got hot the fluid seemed to push back up the lines and force the rod behind the clutch pedal back till it was hard against the stopper and because it couldn't go back any more it would operate the clutch to the point it would slip. I adjusted the pedal freeplay to about 40mm and that seems to have stopped the slip. Now the clutch and flywheel could be damaged and needs to be replaced. Why the dealer and Foton couldn't have worked this out begs to be asked.
I'm not a mechanic and I can work it out why can't they?
There seems now that there is an issue with the vacuum assist on the clutch and it won't hold vacuum as well.
If any one is having this clutch slip problem, when it happens pour cool water over the slave cylinder and cool it down. If you get your freeplay back your having the same problem I am.
Just to add, I do like the vehicle. It must seems to me some dealers want to sell these but don't know or don't want to do any investigation/warrantee work.
Once these issues are fixed I'll have a great car.
They are not the best quality but they are pretty good that's why they are priced where they are in the market.
Ford's, Mazda, Mitsubishi, Holden all have issues too
They have to start somewhere
You may have air in the system. They are a pain to bleed.
These have a clutch disc and pressure plate fom a Nissan Patrol. Really strong.
Can not remember what type, just know it is bigger than Land Cruiser.
Some models had a bad batch clutch vacuum cylinder. Easily fixed with a new one.
Pricey at dealer but I order direct from factory and is a lot cheaper.
The throttle is a dark area for me.
Maybe get a obd2 scan tool and measure the % of the throttle as you drive. Maybe a faulty pedal.
Also I had software update on mine and it was lazy as can be.
Went to Cummins and demanded my old software back and they did do it.
Cumins engine Borg Warner drive train Dana axles getrag transmission what else do you need
Japanese vehicles were once looked up derisively, just like Chinese ones today.
And Koreans, more recently.
10 years ago trade magazines were warning potential importers to be wary of chinese vehicles as a lot were designed by people that did not even know how to drive. But with Dana diffs zf transmission and a cummins engine these things would be worth a look at biggest problem resale value if you like to change your vehicles every couple of years.
I own a 2018 model and I have touchscreen rear camera 135kw and a real USB port.
Actually, that IS a USB connector, a "mini" USB if I remember correctly. Adapter cables can be easily had to connect up your phone or whatever. But what that basic radio can do with it when connected is another matter entirely.
all its going to do is play your music from a thumb drive
Unfortunately the Aussies didn't learn from the South African experience of this vehicle as we had it before them , many problems with this vehicle , mostly clutch and gearbox related , Foton pulled out of SA as they could not deal with the comebacks on this wrenched vehicle leaving me to solve the problems using mostly Toyota and BMW part
Only thing good about is that it only came in a manual
It's in auto now!
Typical American question, but what is the difference between a ute and a pickup truck? I've been told they are totally different as well as the same. In America, the Tunland, if it was possible for us to buy it, would be a pickup truck like a Ram 1500 or a Ford F150.
In Australia, basically a "ute" (short for utility) is any pick-up truck in American terminology, however here's where it may get a bit complicated. Technically, the term ute referred to the car-based utility in the guise of the Holden Commodore Ute and Ford Falcon Ute, but has become universally used to describe any utility such as the Toyota Hilux and Ford Ranger. Now that the Commodore and Falcon Utes have now been discontinued, Ford have began marketing the Ranger as a "truck" and trying to rid the "ute" moniker which has caused a bit of controversy here. American trucks, which are very rare in Australia (only imported in privately and converted to right hand drive and cost over $100,000) can either be called a ute or truck here. I personally call them a truck, because they are just too (unnecessarily) big to be called a ute.
Ah, okay. Thanks for the information. I always believed a "ute" was a car based vehicle with a bed instead of a trunk, but I heard regular pickups called utes as well so I was confused. I just was never able to get a good answer as to what a ute was.
Apparently Hyundai being also a budget brand is not cheap on parts and repairs, what is the cost of maintenance of these utes?
I'm sold cause it's got a Cummins
@01:35 there is an Auto version now
Please review more of the cheap Chinese Utes. Preferably the JMC Vigus 4x4.
NEVER! JMC is another quality under the Tunland.
are there any suitable engine replacement for the Cummins? in Malaysia it's called Savanna. my friend car break down and he is currently looking for an engine replacement . looks like a good old Japanese engine would be suitable but he just didn't know what to swap. mainly because of the engine mounting and our Road Transport Department rules and regulations about modifying an original engine mounting of the car is prohibited
Empty ride is better than Hilux also turning circle is much better regarding the headlights there is a headlight adjustment switch on the right hand side of the steering wheel . Problem solved. Also he did not mention the back brakes have discs and drums for hand brakes a totally biased review of a fantastic ute brought mine in 2015 ,done 50000 kms ,replaced two lightbulbs will buy another in 2019.
the 2019 model is a great uprade. now with A/T
Machine charged with energy! Gives insanely positive and strongly negative Emotions !!!
count yourself luck in Australia, Canada has no luck with such cheap built car with cummins diesel.
Not made by Cummins. It’s licensed copy. Made cheaply
No it is not an ordinary pickup truck
@@Okayokayshane Cummins Canada sells exact same crate diesel engines used in this truck from China.
Please make a review of LDV T60
You need to put some Dead zone
in the hydraulic clutch then I will be sweet then you won't go through a clutch
It's now available with zf 6 ßpeed auto transmission
hello car advice! can you make a review on foton sauvana/toplander! thank you car advice!
King Dalauidao I think it not yet available in Australia alone with the Nissan Terra but it Coming soon.
$30k new, as soon you drive off the lot....goes to $10k lol
For value the Mitsubishi Triton is a much better option
100% agreed
Probably blow up or snap in half before this.
Much much better option for the similar money
what an odd place to do a road test of a 4x4 dual cab...
Given how many actually see dirt it’s actually the best place 😂
It is a mini USB connection, and quite common
😅😆🤣 that Foton am/fm radio with obsolete lcd clock (no backlight) was silly with mini USB port instead of a standard USB port.
Foton have been tried in the mines, mechanics say everything falls to pieces around the Cummins motor, Getrag gearbox and the diff mechanical's
my ranger is falling apart ..maybe because its made in thailand now
Probably just poorly built.
I bought mine 2015 now It's 2021 but no rattles and no rust the engine is still fresh like new
Well it is a Chinese copy of a Hi Lux
How do u know? Know it all?
It is bigger than the hilux it is the biggest pickup in asia and probably better than all pickup based in overall performance and price
Hilux chassis
What about all the off road ?
i can tell you it is really good off road
MIne is very good off road.
Is Kevin Love doing car reviews now?
not unless he shrunk a foot and a half :)
Very nice, but they are raising the prices of the spare parts. As you can ask for the coil or spiral of the steering wheel, for whistle and airbag 570,000 Colombian pesos, it is a plastic box, with a copper tape, THIEVES .... It is an indispensable piece for the whistle and airbag. These pieces should be the most economical, our lives and those of the Street depend on them.
when you pushed the 4x4 button the whole plastic part moved. what a p.o.s. Oh and whats with cummins and making cheap shitty engine´s? they used to make the mighty 5,9 :p
Swedish_Steel A question, Australia make cars? Can recommend me one?? sorry por ny english
sorry dude im swedish so i dont know :P
Holden (General Motors) is Australian car manufacturer, but it will cease production as of October. Holden Commodore is probably most well known Australian car.
@@freightliner_86 Commodore, most preferred cop car.
I tested drivived one of these and I hated it so I bought a ford ranger lucky
lol mate ford rangers have some bad proberlms as of late
For 3 times the price, right?
If you were a lucky man amassed a fortune driven by destiny to be a new manufacturer and seller of vehicles worldwide what would you do because you already knew you were surrounded by a more established brand?...will you make and sell a piece of shit and ignore bancruptcy?...will you make it lousy and leave it to luck because you underestimated yourself of incapability?...or ...will you make and sell with the same quality or something better than others with a low price tag? Which one will you prefer? If you've figured out what you chose...which one will you think foton have decided?
3:57 Chinese Utes don't have the best reputation full stop
I rather buy Ranger or hilux made in thailand now lol
The Tunland is changing that idea.
Chinese don't make their own engines, while Indian (Mahindra and Tata) engines run for 2 lakh km without any issues. Get an Indian cat if you want better quality and a real car that's not a knock off.
Come back in 5-10 years
hello me from the past - in answer to me, it's actually 3 years. Got the GWM Cannon and love it.
You get what you paid for!!!! Lol
Comparing this shitbox to the GWM Cannon is like night and day...
If you Cant afforded a X Class just but a Tunland
Yeah nah
Remember the days when made in china meant cheap crap...
As it turns out , nothing much has changed....
Was going to say. Nothing has changed
This looks great, exactly what I am after, I would love to eat the cow that made those leather seats, and burn the tree that made that trim. I am certain that this ornithopter will be 100% bulletproof, cannot wait to take it for a spin in some radioactive wasteland.
It's trying to copy a hilux
If you cant drive a manual, better hand in your man card.
B
The cheaper Toyota Hilux.
Tunland? Total copy of Toyota. Not available in states.
That was the worst cheap and nasty rusty Foton Tunland I’ve ever seen literally thrown under the buses 🚌 🚎resulted a carnage; oh for the love of Nanny State kids go take the bus or something… Then authorities should ban these dangerous Foton Tunlands off interstate roads (banned in Vic for no ESC) in fact public transportation is not a luxury but needs to be patient for disadvantaged delays and on impatient gridlocks although cheap and safe to save the endangered children and vulnerable teens out of the carnage.
Wouldn't have one if you give to me 👎
like!!
Is this car a joke?
Is this question a joke?
No it is not a joke and if you buy one you will know i said right
first!
Looks real unsafe that just collapses a Tribute parts bin drum brakes and had way more expensive repair bills. Don't make em like they use to and hop on the electric public transport🚋🚎.
