Got sick of looking at High Mileage worn out over priced Vehicles. Ended up Buying a Brand New Foton Tunland Ute.
Don't regret It for a Second..All off the shelf components with 3yr 100k warranty ect.
Do yuo really need a Dual cab.??? If not the S/H offerings in you budget are bit better. (IMHO)

If you're happy to take the gamble on Chinese then a Foton Tunland is an alright option, Cummins 2.8L engine.

The Tunland is powered by a 2.8-litre Cummins turbo-diesel which is turbocharged and intercooled. The engine has a single overhead cam, 16 valves and is controlled by Bosch electronics. Outputs are quoted as 120kW at 3600rpm and 360Nm from 1800-3000rpm.
But now it gets more interesting. The engine is mated to a Getrag five-speed manual transmission, through a Borg Warner two-speed transfer case and then to Dana diffs (the rear being a limited-slip item).
