Foton TUNLAND G7 Red MT

Foton G7: The Evolution of a Global Pickup

A Name with Purpose

The G7 represents the latest progression of Foton’s internationally successful pickup line—previously introduced in various markets as:

• Foton Tunland (Global)

• Foton Terracota (Andes Motor distribution era)

• Foton FT500 (Intermediate evolution)

Rather than bringing incremental updates, Foton has skipped straight to its most advanced version—the G7—reflecting:
✓ Complete platform modernization
✓ Market-specific branding strategy
✓ Commitment to offering only current-generation technology

Why "G7"?

The name change reflects:
• Global 7th-Generation Engineering
• Alignment with international pickup naming conventions
• Strategic rebranding for clearer market positioning

This isn’t just another facelift—it’s the most refined iteration of Foton’s proven pickup platform, now optimized for:
→ Latin American terrain
→ Modern work/lifestyle balance
→ Evolving emission standards

Foton G7 : dimensions and design

• Length: 5,310 mm

• Width: 1,880mm

• Height: 1,860mm

• Wheelbase: 3,110mm

• Load capacity: 950kg

• Towing capacity: 3,000 kg (with brake)

• Clearance: 210mm

Not much remains of the FT500 and the Terracotta, at least if it comes to looking for appearances. The main dimensions give it away, as well as the design of the windows, but the exterior sheet metal was completely remodeled. Now we see wide wheel arches but integrated into the design of the fenders and a flatter grill with a hexagonal frame where we can read the name “Foton” very large (in the “Ford”) instead of the previous logo.

Thanks to the darkened B-pillar, the mirrors and handles in gray and the 18″ two-tone wheels, the aesthetic is much more refined and updated. In the back we find a tailgate with a plastic molding (we saw it with Maxus too, another reference to “Ford”) where the name “Foton” reads big.

Note that the G7 was presented with two packages last year, Sport and Adventure. Today only the Adventure package remains , which is standard and includes roll bars with metal mesh to protect the rear windshield, metal basket on the roof and a winch: a big plus.
