Autoblog Argentina tested the Foton Tunland V9 Pro Sport on a 1,200-kilometer round trip to Termas de Río Hondo, carrying four photographers and their equipment. The pickup went on sale in Argentina in March 2026 with a listed price of US$57,000. The reviewer treated it as a road-trip and work vehicle rather than a conventional off-road test, so its 4×4 capability was not assessed.
At 5,617 mm long and 2,090 mm wide, the Tunland is larger than a typical midsize pickup but smaller than a full-size model. The extra space benefited both the cargo bed, which carried two motorcycles, and the cabin, where the reviewer praised the roomy seating and comfort. Equipment includes heated and ventilated front seats, a configurable 12.3-inch digital instrument display, a 14.6-inch multimedia screen, wireless Apple CarPlay and a 360-degree camera system. Android Auto is not available. The review also noted six airbags and a limited set of driver-assistance features: lane-departure and forward-collision warnings.
Power comes from a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine producing 247 hp and 380 Nm, paired with an eight-speed ZF automatic transmission and four-wheel drive with low range. The reviewer found it responsive around town but less convincing for highway overtaking. Reported acceleration was 0–100 km/h in 10.5 seconds and 80–120 km/h in 8.31 seconds. Fuel use was about 12 L/100 km at a steady 120 km/h and 13.5 L/100 km in urban driving; the tank holds 76 liters. The reviewer praised ride comfort and cabin quietness, while identifying consumption and performance as the main drawbacks. The article frames the Tunland’s challenge as winning buyers from established, locally produced pickups such as the Ford Ranger.
