The Foton Tunland V9 4WD is a capable dual-cab Ute designed to combine everyday practicality with genuine off-road ability.
This 4WD capability comes from the combination of
- A Borg Warner dual range 4WD system,
- Dana Axles and diffs with a Rear diff lock on the V9-L and front and rear diff locks on the V9-S,
- ZF 8 speed Automatic transmission, and
- All Terrain tyres as standard
- Foton Tunland combines the best of available technology.
Its quite capable off road. With double wishbone front suspension. And Multi-Link Rigid Axle rear suspension for a smoother ride. It’s closer to an SUV feel with elevated off-road capability.
Other key 4WD features include
- 28 degree approach angle,
- 21 degree rampover and
- 26 degree departure angle.
- 240mm of ground clearance.
- To put that into perspective the ground clearance is more than most Ford Ranger or Toyota HiLux models.
- Wading depth of 700mm
- And excellent wheel articulation.
Give all this capability comes at a price of less than $50,000 plus the usual costs. Buyers should start to question why they would buy a normal sized 4WD Ute for $60-$70,000 plus .
The Tunland has more space inside, seating for five in comfort and more luxurious interior trim. Add to that a larger tub and in many cases more payload.
Priced from $49,990 plus the usual costs. You could buy a Tunland V9 and a camper trailer for the price of a mid-spec Ford Ranger.
