Cheapest Tacoma ever ;)

lol, I didn't even see that

 

in my signature is a crash test thread, there is a autralian commador (built by ford) and a chinese car.. there you can see why we dont actually want one of these

 

Not a surprise, Quality Engineering costs lot of $$$$$$

 

I've seen some of that Chinese crash test footage and, probably, unlike anybody here, have driven in China. That added some gray to my scalp, let me tell you.

The vehicles are reasonably OK, qualitywise, kinda like American cars in the 1980s. The problem is when you wreck one. Oh boy.

 

So much win in this ChiCom company! Think I'll trade up just so I can have a locking glove box.

 

I doubt they are any better build quality than all the motorcycles, atvs, and gokarts junk that is imported to the US I have seen. I'm betting even a Yugo would make them look bad.

 

Apparently the fake Tacoma has a "German" turbo Diesel, According to them lol

 

There's actually a really good episode of top gear where they went to china and test drove Chinese knockoffs and compared them to the original car

 

Chinese pickups were already supplanting Yotas in Libya due to lower part costs.

Great Wall sells the Steed in the UK:

It seriously looks like a Tacoma mated with a Chevy Colorado I mean look at the sides and the doors it looks like a Coloma

 

The license plate translates to "small diesel god".

 

They should adopt the Great Wall Steed interior. Note the push-button 4WD selector below the air vents.

 

That thing is a gen 1 tacoma with a gen 2 front end. Look at the squareness of the bed, the doors and the A pillar. WoW....

They are driving down a road the whole time in that video. Real tough.
