Would you be tempted?

Anyone considering a Chinese vehicle should youtube some Chinese car crash test videos. Disturbing.

Doubt they were any worse than an early 3-door EC F-150. Or a late-90's GM minivan.

100hp. Wow that thing could tow a house.

Didn't the early Sprinters only have about 120HP? For that matter...didn't the Isuzu/GMC cab-forwards have little <150HP engines until about 10 years ago?

Interesting, if that thing runs and performs like the Honda clone small engines, look out baby here it comes. I gotta have a slush o matic thought. The only thing I own that has a manual gear kicker is my 1950 Ford 8N tractor.

From the link "hoping to send them to europe next year " already have to the middle east.
I agree we will never see them in N.A.

It will never see north america. it won't pass crash safety testing. it won't pass emission testing. ford would sue for patent infringement and win in US courts. chinese kangaroo court allows chinese comanies great leeway in copying other designs so it will stay in chinese borders.

I can't believe that Ford isn't jumping up and down over how much of a copy it is,it actually looks better then the real one.

But it's a DIESEL!! It will tow anything!! 😉

It doesn't seem that long ago when Subaru and Kia were cheap junky cars.

I don't think we'll be seeing these Chinese trucks in the USA anytime soon.
However, if they were imported, Americans would buy them.
Remember the Yugo cars? :E

[hone_eagle]

At a rate of 10,000 a year they are practically hand built.

Japan = good / Chinese = bad
