US comparison Pick up truck | Test Drive | 4X4 Australia
What the Chinese pickup truck doing tests in America.
Is this a new Chinese automaker looking to enter the market U S.
The Foton Terracotta, also sold as Tunland on Australian and South African markets, was recently caught by spy photographers testing in Death Valley.
While it is easy to assume that the truck Foton tests for possible export to the United States, it is interesting to note that Terracotta is powered by a turbocharged Cummins August 2 liter diesel, which means it could be Cummins engineers test the truck to fine tune the powertrain But it is no secret that Chinese automakers are targeting the uS market and see a technical inspection of vehicles made in China to the United States certainly makes us curious.
It is true that the Foton Terracotta doesn t look that locally on American soil especially since it's powered by a Cummins engine Some argue that it fits better than a Mahindra truck offers, another car manufacturer has made attempts to enter the US market without result.
But let's be honest Japanese automakers already have enough trouble getting pickup buyers away from US brands, so it's hard to believe a Chinese car manufacturer trying to sell pickup trucks on American soil will be many initial success.
Never say never, but I think it would take me a long time to accept, let alone buy a Chinese vehicle was going purely on their experience to make cars is terrible to say the least, but if they prove as Hyundai and Kia have been made in recent years, I would be open to the option Especially if they offer something more fun different than what's currently available.
In fact, it doesnt look half bad A 2 8 Diesel engine is something that the needs of midsize trucks section.
But again, it is China, s hope it can remove it and sell here and as it is a fact Chinese product, it could be cheaper for people who buy these trucks.
You think they could withdraw, I mean, China has some pretty good looking cars in 2015 GAC Trumpchi GA8.
All Chinese pickup trucks have been withdrawn from sale in Australia because they do not meet our ANCAP crash tests.
What the Chinese pickup truck in America to test, the Chinese pickup truck.
