Foton Tunland G7 Selection Guide: How to Choose the Perfect Configuration for Your Needs

Jan. 09, 2026

Choosing the right pickup truck is more than just picking a color; it’s about tailoring a tool to your lifestyle or business. The Foton Tunland G7 is a versatile powerhouse, but with options ranging from RHD/LHD to various body configurations, which one should you drive home?

While all Tunland G7 models offer customizable colors (White, Red, Silver, Grey, Black, Yellow), steering orientations (LHD/RHD), and transmissions (Manual/Smooth ZF 8AT), the real decision lies in how you plan to use the vehicle's utility.

1. Cab Configuration: Single Cab for Cargo vs. 

Double Cab for CrewThe foundation of your choice starts with the cab. If your primary goal is maximizing payload and bed length for logistics or farming, the Single Cab is your best ally, offering an expansive deck for oversized loads. However, if you need a versatile vehicle that balances professional site visits with family weekend trips, the Double Cab provides a spacious 5-seater interior without sacrificing rugged performance.

2. Practical Aesthetics: To Side Step or Not?

Side steps are more than just a visual upgrade. For families, urban commuters, or corporate fleets, Side Steps offer essential convenience, ensuring easy cabin access for all ages and providing a layer of body protection against road debris. Conversely, off-road enthusiasts and those working on rugged terrains often prefer the "No Side Step" configuration. Removing the steps maximizes ground clearance and improves break-over angles, allowing the G7 to conquer rocky paths without obstruction.

3. Cargo Management: Open Bed vs. Bed Enclosure

How you secure your gear defines your G7's utility. An Open Bed design is perfect for those who frequently haul tall or irregular items like motorcycles and construction materials, offering 360-degree loading access. On the other hand, if you carry expensive tools or camping gear, a Bed Enclosure (Canopy) is indispensable. It transforms your pickup into a secure, weatherproof vault, protecting your cargo from both the elements and theft.
