A few weeks ago, a top manager of an American automaker said that pickup trucks from China are not capable of towing heavy loads, Carscoops reports.
“They haven’t done this like our Ranger or Hilux for decades. They don’t have all the chassis knowledge, towing experience and payload experience,” Farley said.
In response to criticism, BYD introduced a new Shark 6 Performance pickup truck with a 2-liter turbo hybrid engine producing 469 hp. and a thrust of 3500 kg – the same as the Ford Ranger. For comparison, for the regular Shark 6 this figure was 2500 kg. At the same time, the Chinese pickup accelerates to 100 km/h in 5.5 seconds and costs significantly less than its competitors.
Serial production of the new pickup truck has already begun.
