In addition, it is worth mentioning that although the King Kong gun is positioned as a commercial pickup truck, it is built on the same platform as the Great Wall Cannon, so it is completely comparable to mainstream passenger cars in terms of appearance, configuration and handling performance.

Most of the general commercial pickup trucks have only straight lines on the side and rear of the body, and there is no sense of design. The King Kong gun adopts the design of extremely fast kinetic energy waist line, dual magnetic U-shaped three-dimensional taillights, etc., which reflects the tough quality of the pickup truck and has a more fashion sense. In addition, the King Kong Cannon also provides 5 body colors such as Dream Blue, Worry-free White, Haoheng Black, Enterprising Gray, and Struggle Brown, which is also very rare in commercial pickup trucks.

Thinking of commercial pickup trucks, many people may not have much expectation of the interior, and it is precisely because of this that after entering the King Kong gun car, it really gave xiaobian a big surprise. First of all, in the center console, the door armrest and other positions of the diamond gun are covered with soft materials, and the test drive type seat also adopts an electric adjustment method, and has a heating function, which is rare in passenger cars at the same price.

King Kong Cannon is also equipped with a full LCD instrument and a floating central control screen, built-in a new car networking system, which can realize intelligent voice, intelligent car control, intelligent service and other functions, and support lifetime free FOTA upgrade.

Because of the huge size of the pickup truck, there are more driving blind spots, but the reversing radar is not popular on the pickup truck, and the King Kong gun is not only equipped with a reversing radar, but also a reversing image, and some models can also be equipped with a 360 surround view system, driving completely without pressure.

Although the entire series of King Kong guns is equipped with a 6MT manual transmission, even if Xiaobian has not opened the manual gear for many years, it is still very easy to get started. The clutch combination point of the Diamond Gun is very wide, coupled with the automatic parking function, even in the mountain city of Chongqing, which will encounter a steep slope at any time, there is no need to worry about slipping.

Because the entire test drive line is in the central urban area of Chongqing, all the way to stop and go, the gear switching of the King Kong cannon is very smooth, coupled with the test drive type equipped with a diesel engine with a peak torque of 400N·m, which has a very rich power reserve, and many media teachers on the scene have said that they have found the driving pleasure of the manual gear.

However, for Xiaobian, the only thing that is not used to is the steering wheel steering force, because the Diamond Gun uses hydraulic resistance, so the steering wheel will appear very heavy at low speeds. Fortunately, the turning diameter of the King Kong Gun Box Version is only 11.9 meters, and it can make flexible U-turns even in the alleys of the old city.
