Vehicle model
Foton Gamme Foton - utilitaires ou VUS
Foton's utility and SUV lineup brings together the brand's most emblematic vehicles: the Tunland pickups and versatile work vehicles, a segment where Foton has concentrated its expertise since the 2010s. The Tunland, offered in several generations (Tunland, G series, then the new Tunland V family including the V7 and V9), targets both professional and off-road use, with a double cab and a bed. These vehicles target workers, commercial fleets, and buyers seeking an economical alternative to established pickups. In North America, this lineup is mainly present in Mexico. For Quebec, these tall, heavy vehicles benefit clearly from suitable winter tires and, where applicable, from a fitment on 18-inch wheels or smaller depending on the version; always check the 6-bolt pattern common on this type of pickup before buying tires or wheels.

Tires and wheels
Tire and wheel compatibility
Foton étant orienté camionnettes et utilitaires, ses véhicules chaussent typiquement des pneus de gros diamètre montés sur jantes de 16, 17 ou 18 pouces, parfois davantage sur les pickups récents comme le Tunland V9 (jantes de 18 pouces). Les camionnettes de cette catégorie adoptent fréquemment un entraxe (bolt pattern) à 6 trous, courant chez les pickups, tandis que les modèles plus légers peuvent utiliser 5 trous; il faut vérifier le PCD exact selon le modèle. Pour ce type de véhicule au Québec, un jeu de pneus d'hiver dédié, souvent sur jantes d'acier d'un diamètre légèrement inférieur, est fortement recommandé. Confirmez toujours dimension, indices de charge et entraxe d'origine avant d'acheter pneus ou jantes.
