Thread: Foton Tunland Owners

I've just purchased a 2014 Foton Tunland 4x4 with 30,000kms. I paid cash and got a really good deal. I know some of you will swear off Chinese made (its what I can afford at 24 after buying my first house) I'm keen to hear from other drivers of these vehicles. Does anyone on the forum own one and know any common faults to look out for? just trying to possibly learn from others mistakes with this vehicle before I make them myself.

I still have my old faithful surf as i haven't brought myself to sell it yet, fingers crossed I wont have to go back to it .

Rear diff oil needs regular attention.

Seem like a tough unit to me, getrag box, cummins donk, you don't get much tougher than those two

Had one since 2013 and traded it two weeks ago. Didn’t have a single issue with it mate.

Cheers guys, Will keep a close eye on all fluids (esp rear diff oil). @Sika Seeker How many kms did you clock up while owning it?

80,000 bro

got a customer with one from new its done roughly 60000 weve done a clutch and wiper assy on it so far

Made in China - so what. Where are the Colorado's, Dmax's and Rangers made - yup Thailand! How could their country of manufacture be of any consequence. If the middlemen doing the purchasing are up to the mark selling us product with a good QC process I don't see any difference.

How much did you pay?

Ive got a T2 two wheel drive absolutely no problems oil & filters are cheap maintenance is the key on all things mechanical. Recently did the top end on my four stroke KTM the mechanic commented on how little wear the motor was showing key note: oil changes at 5 hrs / new air filter every ride .

The Ktm rebuild would cost the same as a new foton

No wasn't too bad Brad, the friggin TT350 cost me some skin though I still haven't got the courage up to tell the better half about that one yet! The KTM is heading back to the shop again stator problems again Austrians ;-)

Tried to like the tunland I took for a spin and was impressed but the arse was all over the places on corrugated gravel, had a really hard ride as well. Wanting to like it as it's so much cheaper

Every Ute I have driven is like that on corrugated gravel, light in the rear end

Vans are usually the same. The rear end is usually set up to take a load which adds to the stiffness.
