Power is one of the most important aspects that experts are critiquing pick-up trucks for these days. FOTON was clearly paying attention when they created and unleashed their own turbo-diesel pickup – the Thunder.
The FOTON Thunder comes in a 4×2 or 4×4 with limited slip differential variants. It runs on a 2.8L 161 hp turbo charged diesel engine attached to a 5-speed manual tranny capable of 360 Nm of torque. The Thunder also provides exceptional value for money and as a result may be a more practical and cost effective choice for local Philippine businessmen or adventurer.
