2025 Foton Tunland G7 Double Cab

Foton Tunland G7 Double Cab

Foton’s Tunland G7 aims squarely at the value end of the double cab market, taking on the Hilux 2.4 GD-6 and Isuzu D-Max 1.9 with an asking price that’ll make your wallet breathe a sigh of relief: R399,900. You won’t find a fleet of them, though—just a single, solitary diesel manual up for grabs. No automatic, no 4x4, not even a whiff of variety. Still, if you’re someone who wants a workhorse spec—diesel, manual, rear-wheel drive—this is what the segment’s always been about. The price undercuts the big boys, and that matters. Yet, there’s a catch that’s hard to ignore. The only G7 listed is a 2025 model, barely run in with 14,466 km on the clock, but it’s already pre-owned. There’s no new stock in the pipeline, and that’s the point. If you need nationwide backup, parts on demand, or even just confidence that your local dealer will know what you’re driving, the Foton’s a lonely punt. Hilux and D-Max buyers pay more for a reason: bulletproof resale, parts on every corner, and support that’s proven over decades of South African bakkie life. Yes, the G7’s price is tempting on paper at least, but with only one for sale and no clear future supply, you’d have to be brave—or desperate for a bargain—to roll the dice.
