Foton thunder pick-up

**awallit** · February 27th, 2013 05:20 PM

Thunder Speed: speed still goes up except that open road is running out...

Check that engine rpm... can still go up to 4,000rpm at probably 200KPH. Still safe and far away from the red line.

Thunder at lightning speed!

i guess ang magic number sa pricing sa china brands eh nasa 699k (or below) to grab attention.

ive seen a few, maganda siya, its a toyota hilux body with remolded panels, theyve added creases

Test drove a Thunder unit a couple of weeks ago in MIAS. Didn't expect the performance of it coming from a chinese brand automobile. The power of the engine is very impressive, the acceleration is great. Ride comfort is indeed a thumbs up. Eyeing to buy one soon.

magkano srp ng manual tranny variant ngayon? may existing promo kaya ang foton thunder?

**eduardo09** · April 24th, 2013 04:57 PM

The SRP for the 4x2 is 898k. Yes, I saw an ad for their promo in the newspaper last week. Planning to visit their dealership hopefully by next week. Kapag nakaluwag luwag na....

Na-test drive ko yung 4x2 variant. Drove it outside of WTC, though the imposed speed limit around the streets of Macapagal is up to 60kph only, eh makulit tayo, napa-abot ko pa din ng 120kph ng walang kahirap-hirap. Bilis at ang ganda ng takbo, parang hindi china brand.
