Did Foton Philippines Endeavour To Throw Shade At The Maxus T60?

Maxus made motoring headlines today alongside the launch of their first-ever pickup truck—the T60. And piece it carries about pretty impressive specs, including a class-equaling best H2O wading depth of 800mm, Foton merely decided to throw about shade.

Through a social media post service (see below), Foton is reminding would-be truck buyers that their Thunder is covered past times a 5-year / 150,000-kilometer warranty. This equals Maxus’s ain warranty figure inwards terms of age, but inwards terms of mileage, they accept a 50,000-kilometer advantage.

But wait.

The affair is though, there’s a fine impress attached to this bonkers warranty figure. If y'all can’t read what’s at the bottom, here’s what it says:

“Parts nether warranty inwards the remaining ii years as well as 50,000 kilometers are express to transmission, engine, starter, differential, as well as alternator.”

In short, it does read similar Foton’s offering a 3-year / 100,000-kilometer bumper-to-bumper warranty, piece the remaining ii years is express to warranty on the powertrain.

So piece the headlines read that the Foton has the longest warranty inwards the pickup truck class, taking the fine impress into consideration as well as it seems the Maxus has them trounce because the T60 does offering a 5-year / 100,000-kilometer bumper-to-bumper warranty.

Sadly, the storey is the same when it comes to price. The Thunder is priced at P 1,003,000 for the 4x2 M/T, P 1,098,000 for the 4x2 A/T, as well as P 1,263,000 for the 4x4 M/T. This is compared to the Maxus’s pricing of P 948,000 for the 4x2 M/T, P 1,028,000 for the 4x2 A/T, as well as P 1,278,000 for the 4x4 A/T.
