When it comes to pickup trucks, many people will think of domineering American pickup trucks, robust Japanese pickup trucks, and domestic pickup trucks that eat ash at the construction site. For quite some time, consumers can only look to the import market when choosing high-end pickup trucks. Although it has promoted the pickup truck market to a certain extent, the higher price also makes off-road pickup trucks relatively small. However, with the lifting of the ban on pickup trucks, the development of self-driving pickup trucks is extremely rapid. In particular, the recently launched Great Wall gun off-road pickup truck has reached the peak of self-driving off-road pickup truck with its excellent performance, which is not inferior to the joint venture imported brands. For consumers, the relatively low threshold also allows more consumers to "enter the circle". In this issue, we will use various series of benchmark models-Great Wall Gun Off-road Pickup, Ford Ranger and Toyota Road to make a big inventory and see why they can reach the top of the industry.

Ford ranger

Speaking of American pickup trucks, I believe most people will think of Ford F 150, but Ford ranger is rarely mentioned.

Ford ranger began to burst into strong competitive strength.

Although Ford ranger is slightly better in power performance, it is far less than the gun off-road version in overall off-road configuration.

Toyota smooth road

Domineering appearance, wide body, comparable to Dodge Ram and Ford Raptor F- 150 Toyota Road, will become the focus of the street wherever you go.

The appearance of 2020 Toyota is very calm, and the overall design concept is completely different from that of Toyota Land Patrol and Toyota Prado. The front net adopts a blackened mesh shape, and the thick chrome trim around it adds a sense of atmosphere to the front face. The brand-new blackened LED light group is more domineering, and the wide bumper adds a sense of toughness to the front face. The side and tail shapes are smooth and capable.
