Foton, anyone ?

The first buyers of Foton pick-ups complained about the quality of the body and equipment. There were also questions about the engines, though they already offered "Isuzu" engines even back then.

The use of Isuzu compatible engines in the current Fotons at least ensure that those parts won't be too difficult to find, but Foton's quality is hit-and-miss. The View is absolutely prehistoric. The MPX is actually good enough. The Blizzard is very utilitarian, but the quality of those we've driven is better than the View, and since the body is light, it's quite nippy, despite the low output of the engines.

The thing I don't like are the weak brakes, the poor brake proportioning valving and lack of ABS. It's way too easy to lock up the rears on the View when it's unladen, which may cause accidents. The Blizzard is more stable and the MPX is unaffected by these issues.

The Foton Blizzard is undeniably small kaya hindi naman siguro kasing laki ng Tundra yung Tunland.

Probably as big as the new ranger.

BTW, how is your Foton going so far, bro?
