hahhahaah just reading this about the Foton Tunlands


Based on our initial drive, the quality difference between the Tunland and a HiLux is significant. Our test car had several squeaks and rattles from the dash and developed a loud vibration from under the dashboard.
There were other minor quality issues, most notably one of the test vehicles being temporarily unable to get out of low range after an off-road portion of the drive.
It is worth noting that the vehicles on the media launch had not be bedded in, beginning the test loop with only 11km on the odometer.

Just sayin', most of the mine site stuff run cummins engines of varying sizes/uses.

Yeah Nikko for sure, Cummins themselves are a good brand, they are well respected in the marine industry as well..

Adam, is there some sort of mud-runner/obstacle course thing this weekend here on the Coast?

Perhaps with less mud and more obstacles...

The funny thing is that they are also using a Getrag gearbox, BorgWarner diffs and Bosch electronics, but the rest of the car is so compromised that it makes little difference.

And in the Grove generator world, too!

Yeah I don't understand the car, I was just trying to understand the market for it. Surely they are targeting fleet sales...?

Speaking of bacon, the boys at Monk brewery arrived Monday morning to see that a keg of their rauch beer had dispensed itself on the floor of their coolroom. Apparently it now smells like bacon in there. Awesome!!
