The first time I was shocked by a pickup truck, or at TOP? In Gear, watch gorillas. They put a Toyota hilux in a tall building and then blew it up. After digging out, it can still be driven by electricity normally. Who is this strong guy?
In fact, in the United States, pickup trucks have always been at the top of the top ten best-selling models, but in China, for every 65,438+000 cars sold, only three are pickup trucks. Why is the pickup truck so popular after coming to China because of its strong loading capacity and wide application scenarios?
Under the influence of the policy, pickup trucks were once in a very embarrassing situation in China, because pickup trucks were licensed as "trucks", and besides the number of people and license plates, reflective strips had to be brushed, which was really unacceptable for ordinary family cars.
Although the painting and labeling of pickup trucks have been cancelled now, pickup trucks, as a low-end tool vehicle, have long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people in China, so the main purpose of pickup trucks is either to pull goods or to repair vehicles for public facilities. Or a few wealthy buyers buy them as big toys.
In fact, pickup trucks have many advantages, strong gas field, suitable for commercial vehicles and household use, capable of pulling people and goods, sitting high and looking far, safer and more dynamic than SUVs, not to mention off-road, and beam blessing is more fierce than most SUVs.
Nowadays, influenced by COVID-19, all walks of life have entered a new stage, and the automobile industry is no exception. Recently, the General Office of the Ministry of Commerce, the General Office of the National Development and Reform Commission and the General Office of the National Health and Wellness Commission jointly issued the Notice on Supporting Business Circulation Enterprises to Resume Business.
Article 2 of the sixth item "Expanding traditional consumption" states: "To stabilize automobile consumption, local commercial authorities should actively promote the introduction of new car purchase subsidies, automobile" trade-in "subsidies, cancel the restrictions on pickup trucks entering the city, promote the convenient trading of used cars, organize automobile promotion activities, and implement automobile purchase restriction measures, so as to stabilize and expand automobile consumption."
Different from the word "relaxation" in previous policies, the restrictions on pickup trucks entering the city were obviously cancelled this time. It can be said that the spring of pickup truck is coming.
What can we choose if we want to buy a high-end pickup truck that is not just a tool car?
No. 1
Ford? F 150
When it comes to pickup trucks, Ford is an unavoidable classic. Especially in the United States, F 150 is simply the American version of Wuling Hong Guang.
In 20 17, Ford introduced the performance version of F 150 in China for the first time through official introduction, which is what we call Raptor, F 150? Raptor. By 20 19, the cumulative sales exceeded 2,500 vehicles. Although this figure is not much, it is enough to prove the demand of high-end pickup users for an expensive "big toy".
Now, in addition to the Raptor version, we can also buy a limited edition F 150 in China, which can be understood as the luxury city version. You know, in the United States, F 150? The price of the LTD version is the same as X5, so the high price naturally has the same luxury support.
Sitting in the car, the interior is not bad at all compared with the general mainstream family car or SUV. A lot of leather and stitching adorn it. That kind of big and thick leather seat makes people reluctant to sit on it, and the storage space is quite good. The huge armrest box in the central control is bigger than that in Highlander Central Control, so it is no problem to install a big backpack.
Configuration, door lock, electric throttle/B & pedal adjustment, electric steering wheel adjustment, steering wheel heating/memory, front seat ventilation/heating/memory, rear seat belt airbag, rear seat heating, active safety system, B&; O a series of luxury car configurations, such as stereo, front seat massage, electric get-on and get-off pedals, this F 150? LTD is not absent at all. If you hadn't seen the shape of the pickup truck and just got into the carriage, you would probably think it was an advanced luxury SUV.
As for those luxury SUVs that can't be given, it is the gas field of F 150. With a length of 5.9 meters and a height of over 1.9 meters, Land Rover stopped by like a younger brother. In addition, the ground clearance of 208mm, the approach angle of 25.8 and the departure angle of 21.2 make you invincible in any urban road conditions. 3.5T？ V6 twin-turbocharged high-power engine with 10AT gearbox can be very gentle and delicate when driving in urban areas, and the torque of 672n·m when accelerating rapidly makes you scream.
Face and practicality coexist, who else is so cost-effective?

Great Wall Motor? Changchengpao
If the price of imported high-end pickup trucks is too high, in fact, independent brands have also made efforts in the high-end pickup truck market. Many people know that the Great Wall Motor was built through Haval or WEY, but in fact, many people don't know that the Great Wall made its fortune through pickup trucks and exported to many countries.
In the past two years, Great Wall has launched a series called Great Wall Gun, which is positioned as a mid-to high-end pickup truck. Based on the latest P7 1 platform, it is divided into three versions: business version, passenger car version and off-road version.
If you use it more in urban areas and want to buy a pickup truck that is more comfortable to drive, the passenger car version of Great Wall Gun will be a good choice.
Although this car only sells for 65,438+million, the configuration is unambiguous. For example, Bosch 9.3 ESP, keyless entry, one-button start, cruise control, tire pressure monitoring, reversing image, reversing radar, 9-inch touch screen, vehicle-machine interconnection and other configurations are all standard.
In addition, it also integrates L2 autopilot, full LCD instrument panel, mobile phone remote control and other high-tech configurations. Obviously, the Great Wall is trying to prove that pickup trucks really don't have to be "inferior" with the Great Wall gun.
Power is equipped with a 2.0T gasoline engine, with the maximum horsepower 190 PS( 140 kW) and the maximum torque of 360n·m, which is also in line with the national standard B and matches the ZF 8AT gearbox. Moreover, the magic of this power is that the 8AT is dexterous in shifting gears, light and easy to drive in daily use, and will not feel that heavy when driving.
If you want to go hard-core cross-country, you might as well wait for the upcoming cross-country version of Great Wall Gun.
There are as many as seven driving modes (economy/standard/sport/snow/mud/sand /4L). In terms of hardware, the vehicle is equipped with three front, middle and rear differential locks, a tank turning, a crawling mode and a wading hose, which greatly enhances the vehicle's ability to get out of trouble. In addition, nitrogen from K-MAN is added to the shock absorber, which can adjust the height of the car body at any time.
By the way, although it is a cross-country version, the comfortable configuration mentioned above can not be ignored. Who says you can't be comfortable? ?
Although the pickup truck policy has been further lifted, pessimistically speaking, pickup trucks are still not so hard. On the one hand, the size of pickup trucks is still too large in cities, especially in the old city, which is very inconvenient to drive, and is more suitable for suburbs or third-and fourth-tier cities or open places in southwest China. On the other hand, the country is vigorously promoting the development of new energy vehicles, and most pickup trucks are powered by gasoline or even diesel. The pickup market is once again facing a contraction. Even Ford had to compromise and planned to launch a pure electric version of F 150, which can be said to have lost the soul of a pickup truck. Therefore, while the pickup policy is further loosened, friends who want to start should not wait. It's too late to wait until the pickup truck becomes an electric pickup truck like Tesla.
