They are slowly gaining acceptance as Pickup Trucks. Not a great fan of buying from China , but their quality is inproving in leaps and bounds
their main attraction is a very low price.

Of course stuff's cheap when it's made with de facto slave labor.

Iโ€™m reminded by those making fun of this Chinese pickup of when I joked about that little Honda car that looked like two motorcycles welded together back around 1965 or so.

No, now seeing a lot of them. They are as big as the Ranger. Engine the twin turbo diesel similar to the Ranger. Interior is probably better than the Ranger . Of course new Ranger/ Amarok should be vastly better than theses

Aren't those trucks electric?

No twin turbo diesel like the Ranger.
Others have used these Chinese Pickups to row these Lightweight 5vers. Chinese are trying to unseat Ranger and Hilux with these. These Chinese Pickups would the equivalent in price to the Ford Maverick in the US
Agree 5ver is pretty old and cheap

Could be just the angle, but that looks like it's squatting quite a bit in the rear, considering the difference in the tires in the wheelwells.



No, no, no, don't worry the fiver is "1/2 ton towable" says the Chinese salesman.:)

Probably would find that easy to tow
