Due to its very deep heritage, coupled with the super high appearance rate in film and television works, when it comes to full-size hard pickup trucks in China, everyone will first think of the American Ford Raptor. But in fact, in order to expand the North American market in the early years, the Japanese full-size pickup trucks, including Toyota Tantu and Nissan Titan models, can now basically reach the same level as the Ford Raptor in the North American market. Moreover, with the impact of the upgrading of Chinese automobile consumption in recent years and the love of hardcore models, Japanese products such as Tantu and Titan have also gained a large number of supporters in China. No, when Toyota ushered in a new generation of model changes, it triggered a strong wave of concern.
Thanks to the new generation of Tantu has made its overseas debut in September last year; a few days ago, netizens (below from @Zhang Dafa said car) photographed its real car figure in Tianjin Port. Without further ado, let's take a look at the new generation of smooth roads through the lens of netizens.
In terms of appearance, due to the addition of the TRD sports kit to this live-action model, its front face has obtained a piece of "big mouth" net that almost covers the entire front face. In addition, the inner mesh laying and blackening treatment, combined with the angular headlights and the bulging muscle lines on the bonnet, fully demonstrate the domineering feeling of its front face.
The side part of the body, due to the positioning of the new generation of Tantu, is not a product that is completely dominated by cargo attributes. As a result, the rear bucket will be slightly shorter than that of a typical pickup truck, but this does not affect its slender side shape. Moreover, the well-defined waist line can also fully highlight the identity of its hard pickup truck.
In the rear part of the car, the design form of the new car will also maintain the more conventional pickup design such as vertical taillights and rear bracket with a large extension.
As for the interior, because the real-time model is suspected to be only an entry-level version of the new generation of Tanlu; therefore, its interior does not use the "big color TV" suspension central control screen in the version that was unveiled overseas earlier. Of course, even if the size of the central control screen in the real-time model is much smaller, the semi-LCD instrument is still arranged; this makes its interior not lack of technology.
In terms of power, the new generation of Tantu will be like the new generation of "Land Cruiser", which is based on the TNGA-F platform. As a result, it is also powered by the same 3.5-liter V6 twin-turbo engine as the new Generation Land Cruiser, and is matched with a 10AT transmission and a time-sharing four-wheel drive system. According to overseas models, the new generation of Tantu should also have a hybrid system based on a 3.5-liter V6 twin-turbo engine to choose from.
So, dear officials, will you consider toyota's new generation of smooth roads?
