Hello, everyone, luxury car report, I am Cui Lei who is stationed in the port! As a supplement to the domestic luxury imported car market, the parallel import section has introduced many models that everyone cannot buy in China this year.
For example, Mercedes-Benz GLS63, 4.0T eight-cylinder S580, and Cadillac Careyd, and today's protagonist: the new 22 Toyota Tantu.
We all know that pickup trucks have always been quite popular in the US market, such as its rival Ford, which can reach sales of 900,000 units a year.
The reason why the pickup truck can be so popular in the US market, in addition to the small number of people, is mainly because it has a strong tool car attribute, can be used at home, can pull goods, and can also cross-country, which is called all-round.
The domestic market is completely different, the main consumption is still based on SUVs and cars, most of the pickup trucks are a small number of rich guys and pickup truck off-road enthusiasts, which is also the reason why the Central Standard MAIN ENGINE factory is reluctant to introduce.
The only thing that can be bought through the Standard 4S is the Ford Raptor, but the price is also outrageous, the current market has run 1 million, and the high price can only make it a toy for a smaller number of people.
For the big guy who likes pickup trucks and buys cars like me and cares about cost performance, I think that the new Toyota is a good choice, from about 600,000 to more than 700,000.
In addition, since the release of the previous generation in 2014, there has been no major change, but this 2022 model is a complete replacement, so what are the changes? Let's take a closer look.
First of all, the new Tantu and Lexus LX600, like the Toyota Land Cruiser, have cancelled the 5.7-liter large V8, replaced by a 3.5T six-cylinder twin-turbo engine, and a 10-speed transmission, which is also a product of the TNGA-F platform, and the most important thing is to meet the national SIX B emissions.
Its rival, the Ford Raptor, is also 3.5T with 10AT, and only the Dodge Ram Horn still uses a 5.7-liter self-priming engine. In terms of appearance, it is completely in line with the rough and domineering characteristics of the pickup truck, and it is indeed much more handsome than the old model.
Configurations like LED headlights, time-sharing four-wheel drive, blind spot monitoring, adaptive cruise and active anti-collision systems are standard.
In addition, many big guys are worried that after the pickup truck is bought back, it will not be sprayed on the appearance, which will seriously affect the appearance, which can be completely assured that non-operating vehicles do not need to be sprayed.
The interior is also an improvement over the old model, but it is still very Toyota. A leather steering wheel with heating is standard, with one-touch start, seat power adjustment, seat heating all standard, and these configurations are still very friendly for everyday driving.
If there are higher requirements, 14-inch hollow large screen, seat ventilation, off-road bag with creep mode can also be optional, even the panoramic sunroof also has, a pickup truck with a panoramic sunroof, it is really amazing.
So the question is, the big three pickup trucks: Toyota Taut, Ford Raptor, Dodge Ram Horn, which one will you choose?
Well, today about Toyota Tantu, I will briefly talk to you about this.
I am Cui Lei, who is stationed in the port, and we will see you in the next issue
