From April 1 this year, the new version of the "Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driving Licenses" will be officially implemented. The regulations have added a quasi-driving type "light tow trailer", and the card friends who meet the requirements can tow the light trailer caravan of less than 4.5 tons on the road after applying for C6 driver's license and driving training.
However, in addition to the driver's qualifications, whether the vehicle has the ability to act as a tractor and whether it has the qualification to tow is also one of the factors that determine whether the owner can legally tow and hang on the road. With the approaching of the C6 driver's license, which pickup trucks have the qualification of dragging and hanging has become the most concerned issue for card friends in the near future, and today, Xiaobian will summarize it for you.
Great Wall Gun off-road pickup trailer version, locomotive gun, artillery, black bullet, dragon bullet
Quasi-traction total mass: 2.5 tons
At the 2020 Guangzhou Auto Show, the Great Wall Cannon listed an off-road pickup truck trailer version, and the new car launched a total of 6 models, with a price range of 170,800-20.78 million yuan, which can be seen from the name that this is a pickup truck model with legal towing qualifications.
The appearance of the trailer version basically continues the design of the off-road gun, the difference is that the trailer hook is added at the rear to further improve its dragging capacity; the total mass of the 2.5-ton quasi-traction solves the legality problem of the user's daily trailer, yacht and other rear-mounting equipment, which can provide users with a more perfect scene experience.
Similarly, as a playful pickup truck built by the Great Wall for outdoor groups, locomotive guns, artillery and black bullets all have legal towing qualifications. Among them, the locomotive gun is a single-row pickup truck model specially created for motorcycle enthusiasts, in addition to having a 2.5-meter-long long cargo box, it also has a 2.5-ton traction qualification, which can realize the dual function of carrying and dragging the motorcycle; the artillery is a single-row short-axle product specially created by the Great Wall pickup truck for off-road enthusiasts, the car has a shorter wheelbase, better passability, stronger off-road ability, as a fun-oriented model, the gun also has a 2.5-ton traction qualification.
Black Bullet is a heavily modified model jointly created by the Great Wall pickup truck and Yunliang off-road, which can also use the identity of non-cargo special operation vehicles in some areas, and enjoy different treatment from pickup trucks such as 30 years of scrap, free passage on holidays, and 6 years of new car exemption policy. At the same time, in order to increase its outdoor performance, the Great Wall also declared a 2.5-ton traction qualification on the black bomb, allowing it to legally tow and hang RVs, yachts, motorcycles and other components on the road.
In addition, we recently obtained the declaration information of the Great Wall Gun Dragon Shell from the announcement of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, which also has a 2.5-ton traction qualification. Jointly created by SHELBY and Great Wall Motors, dragon bullets are biased towards the American BAJA style, and have been professionally modified in many parts to make the vehicle have strong off-road performance. Previously, Dragon Bomb has opened pre-sale at the Guangzhou Auto Show, and the pre-sale price range is 270,000-290,000 yuan.
SAIC Maxus T70 Australian Version/Off-Road Edition, T90/Bull Demon King
Quasi-traction total mass: 3 tons
In September 2020, SAIC Maxus launched the Australian version of the T70 model on the basis of the T70, and the official guidance price was 10.98-15.38 million yuan. On this car, SAIC Maxus has included many configuration levels for the Australian market and added legal traction qualifications to it, which is also the first announcement of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology of China to certify the pickup truck product with a 3-ton towing capacity, which means that the owner of the T70 Australian version can use his own pickup truck to drag and trailer caravan on the road.
Shortly after the Australian version was launched, SAIC Maxus immediately launched the T70 off-road version for off-road enthusiasts, which has been off-roaded for passability, four-wheel drive performance, suspension and tires, and also has traction qualifications, and can traction quality up to 3 tons.
In March 2021, SAIC Maxus released its latest pickup truck model - T90, the new car uses a 2.0T double supercharged diesel engine, the maximum torque reached 500N·m, is the peak of the current domestic pickup truck power, it is also due to the strong torque, the maximum drag force of the T90 can reach more than 3.5 tons, the traction capacity of the vehicle is also 3 tons of standard level. Similarly, SAIC Bull Demon King, an official customized off-road style product based on SAIC Maxus T90, also has a 3-ton traction qualification, which was just launched not long ago and sold for 259,800 yuan.
ZTE Weishi 1949
In March this year, ZTE Weishi 1949 was officially launched, which is a new product of ZTE's code name G9, equipped with a 2.3T diesel/2.0GDI gasoline engine, priced at 14.29-20.99 million yuan. The new car is mainly for the passenger pickup truck market, divided into commercial, passenger, competitive three versions, according to the previous ministry of industry and information technology declaration information can be seen, the commercial version of the model has 3 tons of trailer qualification.
In addition to the above models, Ford F-150 LTD has a 4128kg traction qualification, which is also the only official imported pickup truck with traction qualification on sale in China, although the performance of the car is not as explosive as the Raptor, but the 4-ton traction qualification makes it tow the caravan and any trailer is not too much of a problem.
From the above information, it can be seen that there are not many pickup truck products with towing qualifications in China, mainly from 2020 onwards, there are companies that have applied for traction qualifications for new cars, and they are mainly concentrated on high-end models, especially fun pickup trucks. After the implementation of the new regulations for the C6 driver's license on April 1 and the technical standards for pickup trucks on May 1, there are clear regulatory standards for the drag performance of pickup trucks, and the demand of pickup truck players in this area will be significantly improved, and it is believed that more and more pickup truck companies will add this function to the product to solve the legitimacy of the user's daily trailer, yacht and other rear-mounted equipment, and further improve the scalability of the pickup truck.
