How do Chinese pickup trucks compare to the Toyota Hilux for African markets?

Chinese double-cab pickups such as the GWM Poer, JAC T9/Hunter and Foton Tunland generally come in at a lower FOB price than an equivalent Toyota Hilux, while matching or approaching Hilux on payload capacity and torque output. The Hilux still tends to hold an edge in resale value and depth of independent parts/service networks in markets where it has been sold for decades. For buyers prioritizing lowest landed cost and fleet volume, Chinese pickups are increasingly competitive; for buyers prioritizing long-term resale, Hilux remains a benchmark.
