Foton Tunland FAQs

• Are Foton Tunlands any good?

  Launched in 2019, this 4x4 ute is up against some pretty stiff competition in the established names like the HiLux, Ranger, Triton and D-Max. On that front, it won't quite compare to any of those names, but if you don't mind making a few trade-offs, the Tunland is a pretty respectable unit, offering good fuel economy, a decent level of space for passengers and cargo alike, and best of all this unit is priced very aggressively given the amount of features on offer.

• Where are Foton cars made?

  As a subsidiary of the Beijing Automotive Group (BAIC Group), Foton Motors was established in Beijing, China, in 1996. The company, which is listed on the Shanghai Stock Exchange, is a leading manufacturer of light commercial vehicles including utes and pick-up trucks, trucks and busses, and also passenger vehicles and SUVs. Nowadays, Foton is headquartered in Changping, Beijing, and it also has assembly plants in Thailand and the Philippines.

• Are Foton trucks good?

  While Foton might be a name that isn't all that known among typical households, in the trucking industry, Foton is a highly-regarded player. So when you're looking at their trucks, rest assured that the accessible price-tag doesn't mean you are skimping on quality. In fact, the Foton range of trucks utilise Cummins engines, an exceptional name in the truck engine industry, while Eaton is a supplier of the transmission gearboxes you'll find. With that sort of mechanical know-how at hand, the Foton brand is among the largest commercial vehicle manufacturers in Asia.
