- FOTON Thunder 2.0 4x2 AT - A Lot More For A Lot Less [Car Review]
The 2023 Foton Thunder 2.0 4x2 AT has landed on Philippine shores, and it brings with it a bunch of features that is not seen in this truck price segment. In this Filipino car review, we take a good look at the 2023 Foton Thunder 2.0 4x2 AT to see how it fares against the competition. The 2023 Foton Thunder 2.0 AT has some design cues taken from the Ford Ranger Raptor, as well as the Toyota Hilux. The cabin though, is very soft and even looks like the cabin of a crossover. The 2023 Foton Thunder 4x2 AT brings workhorse truck capabilities to the world of lifestyle trucks, but without the lifestyle truck pricing. The Foton Thunder 2.0 is also the first midsize pickup truck from Foton that comes with their own engine developed inhouse.

Sir, pa review po ng GWM cannon lux.. thanks po
Thank you Rey for featuring the only pickup truck manufactured in the Ph 👍👏
You mean assembled?
Thank you Reygan's Ride, awesome presentation and boost my confidence for FOTON. Planning to procure Thunder soon.
If Foton becomes successful here in RP, then the rest may follow... hoping good things are coming for the Philippine Auto and Parts Industry..
Thanks for the review.
i am buying this pick up and I had no doubt about the durability of this truck since if their big trucks are durable their is no reason for them to fail in this medium pick up. And for the parts of this pick up was made in the Philippines so its not a concerened.
ERRATUM: FOTON Philippines has adjusted the SRP down to P1,298,000.
I love black painted cars especially this one suits it very well especially if you turn the ambient light to blue which is one of my favorite colors as well apart from matcha green and orange
I always see Skyway extension southbound in your vids, I do hope Skyway management puts now the lamp posts like in the northbound portion for safe driving especially in the night.
Good review. Can I request for an off road test review of this unit? TIA.
Sir regan pls.. review the gwm cannon..tnx more power to your very nice informative channel!
foton upping up their game
Nice review. Any link with their website sir?
Do have plans to have all new toplander?
Does it have rear aircon vents similar to Navara?
I wonder if they'll carry this design over to their SUV.
If a manufacturer in the Philippines, should be more affordable price, wise Kuya!
It's cheaper than Hilux ranger Strada
sir.pls review jmc pickup truck 2023.
@ReygansRides, there's Thunder 2.0 4x2 EL AT, is that any different? What does EL mean?
If patriotic will this is the best choice cause made in the Philippines it's benifits our economy
Its all about your benfits as an end user. you buy this not because its for your country but its within your budget and it meets your needs.
What brand of atf use in tranission
Same body with the old Toyota Hilux. Tailamp is from Nissan Navara. Headlamp is from Hilux Conquest. Front Grille from Ford Raptor.
who needs apple carplay and android auto with the price of diesel these days..
solid to😎
Would like to give it try due to its cheap price and assembled here in the Philippines.
Why not give it a try by test driving a unit at a Foton Dealership nearest to where you are. I think your question can be answered when you talk to Foton and experience the ride when you drive one.
This pickup its coming to 🇺🇸 usa?
The Foton Thunder is a great pick up truck for business along side it's Foton trucks and Vans but for personal use and light work? Nope, the Hilux G AT is priced at 1.379M, Navarra VE Calibre AT 1.381M, and Ford Ranger XLT AT 1.374M are proven and tested trucks.
No. You are wrong. Hilux now is at 2M. Thunder is still the economical choice because there are discounted offers now.
no pong gamit na ecu ng thunder 4x2 sir.?
Priced like a Ford Ranger XLT?
i really love this pick up foton thunder the best on its class and category especially the price of it,maganda at maporma ang design ng exterior at interior,malakas makina at matulin sya,reliable,quality at durable sa tingin ko yes,tsaka makapal kaha nya at tsaka yung ride saktong saktong para matawag mo syang work horse pick up talaga,thanks
Enjoying Foton thunder here..ang Ganda nya...hindi ka nabibitin sa overtaking..ang lakas..feel solid too...ride is comfortable to compare with other japanese brands..
Yes Sir I agree. Imagine in 11 seconds 1- to 100kph agad?! at the nick of time naka overtake kana. Maganda ito pa takbo sa Bukidnon (Mindanao) at highways dito malakaki. WE can really test this here. But I am not buying this for business or purely para kargahan ng mabibigat. Will use this as a personal vehicle at pang utilitarian lang kung may dapat kargahin and for long drives too.
Sir I keep watching your reviews because you reviewed the Foton Thunder but when I look at your youtube and tiktok reviews, specifically for this unit, bakit dami bashers either yours or the thunder's? Are they paid to destryo Foton Thunder reputation? Takot ba iba car dealers and brands maging popular si Foton Thunder?
People bash what they don't understand or are jealous of. 😉
They bash foton malapit na sa tagiliran nila ang brand na to and if given more time, mauungusan na sila. So what a better way to destroy a rival by bashing them. Experience it yourself by going to nearest Foton Dealership in your area and ask for a Test Drive.
Yes I love it. Kaso mahina yung dealership ko. Decline lahat ng bangko. Ang di ko maintidihan sa ibang dealership na approve ako with a more expensive model and unit. Pero sa foton wala. Tsk tsk. @@projectgarage61
Hope that you can review more details of the Engine power and what is the transmission made of?
It's all in the video.
yeah, the latest aucan engine is not so known. i couldn't find its specs online. And not sure who made it.
Its made by foton. Design wise, they have probably have this worked together with their partners like Cummins. If you look at its design its almost the same as the Cummins engine but more on a downsized scale. Just my personal opinion. Go to your nearest Foton Dealership and they definitely can help you with your questions. Ask for a test drive so you would know how this vehicle has received a very nice review. @@realme72only
How about the spare parts and After sales support? Foton is a decent brand for assembling them in the Philippines like Mitsubishi cars
Dependable after sales support assembling units here you can order anything(proven). " But " most of the parts are not that cheap compared to japanese replacement parts because even the oil filter they use are commercial type oil filters for long term use
@@elanonymous9714 oh i see.. mahal pala parts nito!
It looks like a mix and match of those other mid-size pickup out there.
What about the Toplander? Will they still release an upgraded version?
Hopefully 🙏
I'd noticed, there's no Antenna
Dood... It looks pretty good.
Sir Reygan, is this the top spec variant? or is there a 4x4 in the mix?
a 4x4 AT is coming soon
4x4 version A/T is available already.
👍👍👍👍👍
Kuya Reygan, what's wading depth?
Wasn't disclosed, but probably 600mm or more
Another question Sir Reygan. Does it have power folding side mirrors?
No
Did they enter that in the Dakar-Saudi race?
Are you crazy! At the first dune, it will be in pieces! Is just a toy, after a few years, and starts rattling all over
🌊👍👍
Sir in terms po ng akyatan,kaya nmn po ba,kasi according to some medyo mahina daw lalo na kung sa baguio ang foton. Salamat po
Mahina sa bagyo?
Malakas Yan sa akyatan and hilahan pero sakto Lang dulo niya unlike nissan
Yan din isang iniisip ko sir kasi baguio din kami e
Power folding side mirrors?
Nope
😲
Foton thunder 4x4 manual or maxus t60 4x4 auto? (Wala kasing 4x4 auto ai foton) opinion pls... Tbx
Is more common in these days that BIG CAR MANUFACTURERS, are not building manual transmission anymore, the future is the automatic transmission or the paddle shifter AT
bring back CUMMINS POWAH BABY!!
Meron ba syang 360 cam sir? Parang may cam sya sa harap eh 🙂
Reverse cam lang.
may cruise control po ba ito?
gamitin nyo po ba sa US sir? hehehe
👏👏👏👌👌👌👍👍👍❗
I thought it comes with apple carplay? hmm. can you double check? sir reygan? :D
Foton traveller 2.0 rewiew
With that Price I will go to Ford Ranger XLT
Of course, and it's better design and has a better engine
Good idea. But reason why I am getting this is the low down payment promo and it is easier to get. The ones at ford, paying really expensive down. And maintenance is soo expensive.
Sana may 4WD or 4X4 variant rin.
coming soon yan. Meron na 4x4 MT
meron na sir. Check it at your nearest foton branch
Hi Reygan, does it come with apple/android mirroring? Also, how’s the AC? Is it more than enough for the cabin since there are no AC vents at the back? Hopefully, you can provide some feedback. Thank you in advance.
Aircon was cold, good enough for the cabin even without tint.
@@ReygansRides thank you!
@@ReygansRides hi sir, does this unit have power folding side mirrors?
nice! malamig na pala @@ReygansRides
you can remotely adjust the side mirrors. who cares if its remotely foldable. Its a truck. Its manually foldable. hehehe. perhaps if its a car baka pwede pa. @@nielsalute9069
Is true better a Maxuss T60 for less than 1.1 million pp
for a workhorse truck i would rather choose maxus t60 4x2 AT which is priced below 1.1M
Was going to say the same
Maxus already phased out here in Mindanao. That's what I was supposed to get over here. ANd, meron binebenta dito cash basis only wala na financing.
Would you buy a vehicle that doesn't have a manufacturing plant in the Philippines? Foton has a manufacturing plant in Pampanga. Does Maxus or SAIC have one already?
@@realme72only
Have you tried already the Foton Thunder 2.0 to say that maxus is better? its already been out in the market for sure if they have one selling on the market right now, it would have been a higher price for sure.
Sayang talga. I always wanted a pick up truck and wanted to have this kaso di pinalad ma approve. Di ko alam bakit si foton mahina ako sa approval pero sa GAC EMKOO ako na approve.
Sir revisit niyo po ang Foton Dealership na malapit sa inyo baka po matulungan kayo sa financing approval po ninyo.
@@projectgarage61 yes na visit ko na. Decline lahat ng bangko inaplayan nila para sa akin pero talagang nagtataka ako sa mas mahal na sasakyan GAC Emkoo approve sa ibang dealership. Heto GAC EMKOO na nakuha ko.
Ay wala na. Discourage na ako. Feel ko talaga maganda lang si Foton sa itsura pero sa approval process palakasan kasi yan sa mga bangko. Eh mahina si Foton, ayaw e finance ng bank yung application ko. Ang di ko maintindihan, bakit may GAC EMKOO ako now na mas mahal kaysa kay foton, pero approve ako. Tsk tsk... I'm hating foton already. @@projectgarage61
Kung na feature lang ng January ito. Baka instead na veloz ito binili ko.
When FOTON goes up in top 10 sold car brand in Philippines, then I might consider FOTON. 15 years na sa pinas pero wala pa eh
Marami applicant ng foton pick up problema controlado ng bank ang approval
Mga banks hesitate mag finance ng Chinese truck. Kahit Chinabank pinapataasan up to 30% ang down. unlike jap cars dali lang sa kanila. And, foton is n ot known for mid sized lifestyle/utility pick ip. This is their attempt to enter into the entry but i feel they are not competing kasi di naman gnaun ka aggresive sila mag market. kung may gusto lang siguro bumili,
Foton Thunder or Ssangyong Musso Grand?
The Musso is a much better truck
Try nyo itestdrive sir ang foton thunder 2.0 and the musso para masabi niyo ang difference. Dont take other people's opinion. They matter but what matters most is your own experience. Test drive now thru the nearest foton dealership.
Looks like FORD F150 Tremor
People buy Foton cars because it's Cheap and much more Toys features . But this truck introductory price it's better you purchase the tried and tested Japanese pick-ups with bullet proof reliability in the long run.
I can not agree more on this comment
Foton has already adjusted the price. And you know, these dealers it seems they do not want you to buy their pick up trucks.
Japanese branded trucks but are not made in Japan. Sa Surplus sir meron ka dun Japan Made, ang problema is ang reliability and safety ng trucks pag surplus. Check the parts where they are from sa mga japan brand trucks. Just like the famous funny quote, "God made the world and the rest is made in China".
My neighbor bought a foton pickup 1st model...2 years palang hard starting na...kalawang na ang likud hahaha
warranty claim yan
Enough said u made my mind
Foton never sells any pick-up truck in the Philippines, but your neighbor has a foton pick-up 1st model, interesting.
Construction pick-up truck is different from recreational pick-up truck, bro.
Depende lng yan sa gamitan ung hilux ng tito ko mga 2-3 years rin nag rarattle na ung tail gate tapos makalawang. Pati ung radiator parati nalng nirerepair kasi parating mei leak tapos matigas at maingay ung kambyo. Ung hilux namin 10 years na mahigit smooth na smooth parin.
There are those who like to take chances and buy cheap but loaded vehicles. They just don't like driving what everyone else is driving. They want to try new things because they will only live once.
This is the most pathetic and idiotic response I've read. You think of those who will try this truck as cheapskate but no. Average salaried employee in the philippines will have to work for a year just to come up with 180 to 250 thousand pesos but to come up with this amount to pay for thunder say at 1M +? Not an easy task.
Plus, NO PARTS!
dude..hindi bagay ang sunglasses mo sa iyo..
Splice of FORD and TOYOTA. hehe
nako mga automatic mga ni rereview ang mga manual d nyo ni rereview, d kayo marunung mag manual.
S-presso nga na review ko na din eh. Manual only yun.
@@ReygansRides go for manual. Not just the automatic. There are features that the AT has that doesn't found in any MT it is quite unfair to those who still used those kinda transmission
@@markaraneta5886 I can schedule that for review.
@@ReygansRides I so notice it is really hard to find a manual transmissions kasi puros top of the line or automatic lang nag ginagawa ngayon lahat ng nag rereview. For example emgrand ng geely, GM na manual many more not just the s-presso ng suzuki.
@@ReygansRides but thank you for taking time to respond and considering my suggestion and criticism
just keep in mind, if you buy FOTON products such as Big commercial Trucks and this Medium Pick-up Trucks.. you are somewhat helping the philippine economy.. but at the same time Bolstering the Chinese Economy therefore helping them secure more Philippine territories to steal.. so pick your poison🤐
that is so wrong to think about "wise decision buying". . you buy in terms of quality. not because of taking in political considerations for the average buyer.
that's my humble opinion, you can turn the other way thinking you're getting a better deal as a consumer.. but you cannot deny you're helping the china economy, every time you buy Chinese vehicles.. money that they used for their Navy harassing our own people, money that they used to secure more philippine island as much as possible. YOU CAN CHOOSE NOT TO BE POLITICAL.. BUT YOU CAN'T DENY IT'S TRUE.@@realme72only
Man this guy is awkward.
Ok. In what way? Perhaps you can do better?
pers
Looks like a copy of raptor hmm
