Enterprise Motor Group Manukau

He admits at first he was pretty sceptical of the relatively unheard of Foton brand and wasn’t sure what to expect. “I thought it would be small and not quite stack up to the competition – but I was wrong” Ido said.

He admits at first he was pretty sceptical of the relatively unheard of Foton brand and wasn’t sure what to expect. “I thought it would be small and not quite stack up to the competition – but I was wrong” Ido said.

“The Foton Tunland is the perfect ute for both work and play. It is a very versatile vehicle – it is a great workhorse with impressive power from the Cummins turbo diesel engine which enables top performance even when under a heavy payload."

"The Tunland is also built for recreation with loads of cabin space and a comfortable driving experience. All of this combined with the extremely affordable price tag makes for a fantastic package.”

Enterprise Motor Group Manukau are the only dealership in Auckland to stock the Foton Tunland. Come and see one today! 567 Great South Road Manukau.
