Traction control light would come on when going over 50km hr If you cannot do good, then you do nothing.”One thing that may be missing from the next-generation Foton Tunland line-up is a single-cab derivative, at least in Australia, where a two-seat model was briefly available alongside the four-door.“The single-cab we brought in two years ago, but the cost-effectiveness is a real problem -- no [profit] margins. We need to live up to the expectations otherwise it doesn’t make sense to us to rush.“Our product development and R&D people come every quarter to do the research and have a feedback and discussion with us. I've had the truck 3 years and 1 month and it's been off the road for 8 of those months. Tow bar 3 tone towing capacity.
