Foreword: In 2021, the mainland pickup truck sales exceeded 550,000 units, this data is a good achievement for the mainland pickup truck market, compared to the annual sales of 410,000 in 2020 increased by more than 100,000 units, so it can be seen that the prospects of this market are good, and there is a great credit contributed by the Great Wall Cannon, after all, the domestic pickup truck only it can do the monthly sales of more than 10,000 units, and the explosion of the Great Wall Cannon also makes this market extremely prosperous, there are many new pickup trucks that benchmark the Great Wall Cannon, Next, I will share one of them with you: Ford General, less than 120,000 with its own girder, equipped with ZF 8AT Aucom diesel engine, can be installed off-road!
Foton Automobile, on the one hand, Foton's Auman series heavy trucks are very familiar to everyone, the big guy brand in the field of domestic trucks, on the other hand, this is a domestic relative to a more professional pickup truck manufacturer, since 1999 a sunshine car off the line, foton pickup truck development has been more than 20 years, and in 2012 also listed the Pioneer large pickup truck, known as the first domestic high-end pickup, so the R & D and manufacturing capabilities are not general, the general series is also positioned high-end domestic pickup.
First of all, in terms of appearance design, the design of General Futian belongs to the kind of square, the line does not have the slightest sense of flow, and the most direct visual sense is that the hard school has a sense of strength. The front face is super large forward grille with red conspicuous logo, the brand recognition is very strong, the left and right side of the headlight design is very suitable, but lack of aesthetics and technology atmosphere. The side has a strong Offroad style, that is, black convex wheels and black shelves on the cargo box, even the rearview mirrors are more arrogant chrome decoration, quite playful, in addition to the original factory has its own Model with Giti AT tires, the price is not very expensive but very intimate.
In terms of its carrying capacity, the length, width and height of the standard cargo compartment are 5340 * 1980 * 1920mm, the wheelbase is 3110mm, the cargo compartment size is 1520×1580×440mm, compared to the same level, there is a little advantage but it is also the mainstream level, the actual load capacity is not bad, and the load capacity is still very impressive, and it is completely no problem to run the construction site to do rough work. In terms of configuration, the reversing image is equipped with a 360-degree panoramic image, dual airbags, constant speed cruise, electric adjustment of the exterior mirrors, automatic air conditioning, one-button start, etc., basically in line with the car, to a certain extent highlighting its high-end positioning.
And for the most important aspect of the high-end of the General Futian is reflected in the interior, the previous pickup truck interior is hard plastic meeting, there is no sense of luxury to speak of, so now it has become in line with the car, the interior of the General is particularly prominent in the color matching, blue and beige collocation, especially the seat or leather wrapping, not inferior to more than 100,000 domestic cars, and even the main driver's seat heating function is standard, which is quite unexpected. The central control large screen is 10.25 inches, which integrates the functions of conventional entertainment navigation reversing images, etc., which are sufficient in function, and its clarity can be seen from the reversing images. And the gear handle area is very regularly arranged, leaving two storage spaces, electronic handbrake and one-button start function.
Finally, on the power level and off-road level, General Fukuda is a pickup truck with a girder structure, so it can achieve heavy off-road, but it cannot be compared with the Ford Raptor, and it can be conquered by encountering some uneven and muddy roads. The power is the Oukang 2.0T diesel engine, the focus is to match ZF's 8AT gearbox, the gear is tightly opened up can be a good way to suppress the noise of the diesel engine, but when the engine speed comes to 2500rpm, the engine noise becomes more obvious, but the normal driving speed is lower than this boundary, so a certain degree of comfort is stronger, the overall feeling is very comfortable. The four-wheel drive system supports two-wheel drive to four-wheel drive, that is, in the low-speed state, the four-wheel drive mode knob can be rotated from "2H (high-speed two-wheel drive)" to "4H (high-speed four-wheel drive)", and there is no need to worry about wheel slippage when encountering wet and slippery roads.
