Prado is a thing of the past, and now the most common cars on the Sichuan-Tibet line are these

Recently, the old driver and a few friends walked a short section of the 318 Sichuan-Tibet line, and now the road conditions and facilities are much better than before, so you can see that some electric vehicles have begun to run on this road, it is indeed thirty years of Hedong, thirty years of Hexi. In the past, when it came to running the Sichuan-Tibet line, I generally thought of those hard-core off-road vehicles such as large-displacement, four-wheel drive, cars, and new energy vehicles to rest on the road in minutes, but in 2023, when I personally came to run, I found some changes. So today, the old driver will talk about several SUVs with relatively high visibility on the 318 Sichuan-Tibet line.

Tank 300

New car guidance price: 19.88-302,800

Old driver spicy comment: This time the old driver really saw a lot of tanks 300 on the 318, especially the orange ones, I believe that this fiery degree does not need to be said by the old driver. Indeed, the tank 300 car is a "civilian into the hidden artifact", the shape is not much to say, the shape of the square box has the atmosphere of Mercedes Big G, Jeep Wrangler, suspended spare tire shape, is also in line with the temperament of hard off-road, but its popularity is of course not only because of the hard style, but more importantly, its off-road ability.

First of all, the foundation of the non-load-bearing body has been laid, and the torsional rigidity has reached more than 28000N·m/deg. In the passability is even more outstanding, including approach angle 33 °, departure angle 34 °, longitudinal passage angle 23.1 °, minimum ground clearance 224mm, maximum wading depth 700mm, maximum climbing degree 70% (35 °), etc., even if you are an off-road white, under the guidance of the old driver, driving a tank 300 you can easily pass the unpaved road on the 318 line, because the best scenery is often hidden behind the worst road.

In terms of power, the whole series is equipped with a 2.0T engine, with a maximum horsepower of 227 horsepower and a maximum torque of 387Nm, and the matching gearbox is an TEF longitudinal 8AT, whether it is climbing or overtaking, there is no pressure, and there is no problem in the plateau area. And from the current popularity and user reputation, the hard power of the tank 300 is still very strong, passability and off-road performance is undoubted, no wonder more and more people go to self-drive 318, but also see more and more tank 300 on this Sichuan-Tibet line.

Ford Roadshaker

New car guidance price: 27.58-374,800

Old driver spicy comment: Road shaker is one of the few joint venture hard SUVs in the domestic market, in the off-road circle has always been one of the off-road veteran guns talk about the model, with the National V emission into the Tibetan god car Prado, Pajero have been delisted, equipped with Ward's top ten engine 2.3T National VI Road Shaker has become the priority choice of many players. First of all, in terms of power, such as the Ford Mustang, Explorer, Focus Rs, etc., this engine, compared with the old 2.0T version, the power is increased by 20Kw (about 27 horsepower), and the peak torque is increased by 95Nm to 455Nm.

Equipped with a 10AT gearbox, the gearbox is also equipped on Ford's F-150 series pickup truck, in addition to improving power response, it can also take into account fuel consumption and reduce carbon deposits, add No. 92 gasoline, such a powertrain runs the Sichuan-Tibet line fragrant. In terms of off-road data, it has a 29.5° approach angle, a departure angle of 25° and a passing angle of 21°, with a minimum ground clearance of 227mm and a maximum wading depth of 800mm. You can drive it through mountains and rivers, and of course you can pass through crowds.

In terms of four-wheel drive system, the full-time four-wheel drive equipped with BorgWarner's TOD four-wheel drive system can achieve 50:50 front and rear power distribution, and in the case of low-speed four-wheel drive, the torque can be amplified to 2.48 times, and low-speed escape is basically not a problem. Moreover, the four-wheel drive version will be equipped with a tooth-embedded open differential lock as standard, which locks the wheels without adhesion in a short time when the rear wheels are in the air, ensuring that the vehicle can obtain a strong ability to get out of trouble at any time.

But interestingly, the road shakers seen in the old driver running the 318 these days like to modify the front of the car into the same front of the Ford F-150, is this a popular in your Ford off-road circle? Can a knowledgeable player answer it, thank you.

Great Wall Cannon series

New car guidance price: 9.78-290,000

Old driver spicy comment: How did you get a pickup truck on the Sichuan-Tibet Line? But in the past, the pickup trucks that wanted to make a decent point were old and expensive, and not every off-road enthusiast could easily withstand it, so the popularity of the cost-effective Great Wall gun series gradually rose.

The practicality of the gun is also very impressive, with a spare tire under the chassis, and the use of front-mounted four-wheel drive and front-mounted four-wheel drive, so the gun's ability to get out of trouble is very good, and it is easy to deal with the bad road of the Sichuan-Tibet line, and with the blessing of the double wishbone independent county frame and the integral bridge non-independent county frame, the gun is more able to adapt to different scenes of the road section. Of course, in the off-road category, the gun is also equipped with a front axle differential lock and a rear axle differential lock, with the blessing of the two locks, off-road is easier, and playing hob projects are very easy. In addition, the maximum wading depth of running is 900mm, and the passability is excellent.

In terms of power, gasoline and diesel versions are available, and the gasoline version is equipped with the same 2.0T engine as the Haval H9, with a maximum power of 190 horsepower and a peak torque of 360Nm; The diesel version is equipped with a 2.0T engine with a maximum output of 163 hp. In terms of transmission, the new car is mated to an 8AT or 6MT gearbox. The factory also comes with features such as creep mode and tank U-turn. At the same time, it provides 7 all-terrain driving modes such as standard, economic, sport, snow, mud, sand, and low-speed four-wheel drive, which is worthy of the name.
