Chapter 637: Pickup begs for subscription

It turned out that Du Xiao likes fishing, likes racing, and likes to drive out to see the great rivers and mountains of China.

A friend of Du Xiao recently bought a pickup truck, and Du Xiao noticed this car from when they were fishing together.

After a long period of observation, Du Xiao found that his friend's pickup could fit better than his own Land Cruiser.

After you can fit a fishing rod, a net, a parasol, a fishing stool, etc., you can also install a barbecue grill, a few cases of beer, and all kinds of ingredients.

When everyone rests, they are eating barbecue and chatting and drinking, which is relaxed and comfortable.

Pickup trucks can run all kinds of bad roads.

Its chassis is high, horsepower, and the off-road ability is strong, and many off-road vehicles can't pass through the places, and the pickup truck is like walking on the ground and passing willfully, which simply surprises Du Xiao.

Recently, I went to Northwest China with my friends and saw a different style, and at the same time, the large fuel tank of the pickup truck and the extra-long voyage beat Du Xiao's Land Cruiser, which once again refreshed his understanding.

After Du Xiao came back from surprise again and again, he couldn't wait to buy a pickup truck to play with, and use it for fishing and self-driving trips in the future.

However, Du Xiao understands cars, and after test driving a friend's pickup truck, he is still a little dissatisfied, feeling that the diesel version is noisy, and wants to buy a more perfect and suitable model.

After Du Xiao heard about Zhang Chen's purchase of Ruizhi, the other party became interested and wanted to come to him to introduce a suitable model to his staff and staff.

The causes and consequences and needs, Du Xiao introduced very clearly, unlike some people who come to buy a car, but they don't say a word, don't tell the sales consultant their own needs, how to recommend the right model to customers?

Du Xiao left a good impression on Fang Yuan, feeling that he was not the kind of person who was pretentious.

However, Fang Yuan was a little curious, the three of them had been meeting for more than ten minutes, and he didn't even receive the system's car purchase prompt, so he secretly entered the car dealer system to inquire about the system message, and swiped up and down and still didn't find it.

Could it be that the dealership's system is malfunctioning?

This thought was extinguished by Fang Yuan as soon as it arose, and the car dealer system was still quite reliable, at least he had never fooled himself.

I clicked on the personal center again, and in the skills column, the expert-level second-hand car condition identification skills, racing skills, maintenance skills, etc., but the language skills and sales skills are still rudimentary.

At this time, Fang Yuan had a bold guess, could it be that the model that Du Xiao wanted to buy was beyond the scope of the primary sales skills of second-hand cars, which caused the car dealer system to be unable to provide information?

Thinking of this, Fang Yuan didn't even look at his points, and confidently started to buy second-hand cars with expert sales skills.

Just like when he had acquired new skills before, Fang Yuan felt that countless information poured into his mind, and his understanding of various models was deeper and more comprehensive.

What made Fang Yuan depressed was that he still hadn't received any system news about Du Xiao.

Fang Yuan was stunned for a moment, and finally realized that people didn't want to buy second-hand cars at Zhenghong Auto Dealership at all, they were purely here to consult, and of course they wouldn't receive system messages.

Introducing the model to Du Xiao, Fang Yuan purely looked at Zhang Chen's face, he was kind, not angry at all, and would still seriously recommend a suitable model to Du Xiao.

Fang Yuan agrees with Du Xiao's judgment of pickups, and believes that in areas where assistance cannot be obtained, such as wild fishing and entering no man's land, it is more important to drive durable pickups.

Pickup trucks are indeed very durable, and in China, it is common to see tattered pickup trucks that can still gallop on the messy construction site.

In the country of Bald Eagles, pickup trucks such as the Ford F150 and Toyota Tantu are generally used by farmers to do farm work, and they are not so pampered and do not have any pretend attributes.

In some countries in the Middle East and Africa, there have also been 'pickup wars', whether it is the government army or the rebel army, one by one, on the Hylux, pulling people in front, and setting up anti-aircraft machine guns or rocket artillery in the back, the two sides will do it, whether it is pursuing or escaping, it is equally convenient and fast.

When it comes to the durability of the pickup, Chevrolet has a trophy pickup that takes this feature to the extreme.

With a body that is 250 times stronger than a regular off-road vehicle, this trophy pickup is a race car specially designed for the Baja 1000 Rally.

The race was simple and crude, requiring 1,600 kilometers to be completed in one go, no more than 34 hours, no substitutions were allowed in the middle of the race, and the race roads were all extremely poor in the Gobi Desert, with speeds of up to 150 kilometers per hour.

Because of the fast speed and poor road conditions, almost half of the time is flying, not only to fly high, but also to fall steadily, all thanks to the super body and the suspension system with a travel of more than one meter, it is almost impossible to achieve this degree for individual models.

The pickup truck is durable, but it is also available in high-end and low-end versions, as well as diesel and gasoline versions.

The high-end ones are such as the Ford Raptor, the Dodge Ram, and the low-end ones have the domestic Great Wall series, in short, the models are still relatively rich.

There are many diesel pickup trucks, such as Isuzu's D-Max.

Compared with the high-end pickup trucks of five or six hundred thousand or even more than one million, the price is very beautiful and close to the people, the new car is about 200,000, the whole system is 3.0T four-cylinder diesel engine, two-wheel drive, four-wheel drive can be selected.

Isuzu D-Max is cheap, but the performance is not weak, it has strong off-road ability to get out of trouble, low cost of car, large space is very practical, durable to comparable to Hilux, it is simply the king of domestic pickup cost performance, outstanding to almost no competitors in China.

After sorting out his thoughts, Fang Yuan said to Du Xiao: "Mr. Du, now our Huaxia pickup truck is divided into diesel version and gasoline version,"

"Hmm. Du Xiao didn't interject, let alone interrupt Fang Yuan's words, just nodded to show that he was listening carefully, and let him continue.

"There is no superiority or inferiority between the diesel version and the gasoline version, it just depends on whether it suits you or not. Du Xiao listened carefully, saying that he would not interrupt indiscriminately, which made Fang Yuan's good impression of him a little more, and continued to introduce that the diesel version has a strong low torque, strong ability to get out of trouble, and low maintenance costs, but it is not as fast as the diesel version, and the noise is still loud, and the most important thing is that some cities prohibit diesel pickups from entering the city, or they are only allowed to enter late at night.

Fang Yuan thought about it, in the long journey, wouldn't it be too bad if there was a need to go into the city but be blocked out?

If you just go into the city to travel, you can park the pickup truck outside the city, and you and your companions can take a taxi or bus to get in, what if you encounter an emergency?

There is also a problem of diesel insulation, in some uninhabited areas, the weather is cold, in case the owner does not pay attention to cause the diesel to freeze, it is equivalent to calling the day should not be called the ground is not working, can only wait for death.

Therefore, Fang Yuan was the first to deny the diesel version of the pickup, and suggested buying the gasoline version, because some cities stipulate that the rear body of the gasoline version of the pickup truck is equipped with a flat cover, and it can also be entered during the day, which saves a lot of worry.

Fang Yuan did not recommend buying a diesel version of the pickup truck by himself, Du Xiao smiled slightly, very much agreed with the opinion of the young man in front of him, and thought that he was very thoughtful.

He doesn't worry about the insulation of diesel, because he hardly goes out in winter.

He was worried about the ban on entering the city.

It's okay to buy a diesel pickup truck locally, in case something important happens to be a tourist when traveling, and it just so happens that the local area also prohibits the diesel version of the pickup truck from entering the city, and it is not a waste of time to change cars in a panic?

While Du Xiao sighed that Fang Yuan was careful and thoughtful, he was very interested in the pickup truck body that Fang Yuan said about installing a cover, and he also wanted to install one after buying a pickup truck.

"You said the flat lid in the back. Fang Yuan reminded Du Xiao that the cover plate installed on the pickup truck is divided into high covers, oblique covers, pull-out flat covers, waterproof, and good privacy, but traffic regulations have restrictions on its height.

Fang Yuan also suggested installing a flat cover, which does not affect the height of the loading, and there is also an electric function, which can be installed in his master's Jingcheng Auto Repair Factory.

"Okay, when I buy a pickup, I'll go get one. Du Xiao was very satisfied with the flat cover recommended by Fang Yuan, so he was ready to install this, "Are there any other modification projects?"

"Yes. Fang Yuan blurted out, "If you want to go out to play, it's best to install a hidden winch, install front and rear bumpers, off-road lights, change mud tires, etc." ”

The modification projects introduced by Fang Yuan are basically all legal, and they are not afraid to meet the traffic police on the road.

As for wading pipes and the like, Fang Yuan saw that Du Xiao was old, safety first, so don't go down to the river to play.

"You're too professional. When it comes to modification, Du Xiao is very interested, and asked, "I see that some friends drive RVs, or add trailers, how about I also get one?"

"RVs are generally more than six meters long, and C1 can't be driven. Fang Yuan knew that Du Xiao was rich and could match a driver, and he could afford to buy tens of millions of RVs, but he just reminded him that there were restrictions on the driver's license for driving an RV, "The trailer is a little troublesome, and the trailer behind it also needs to be licensed, and the tractor in front must be qualified for traction." ”

"Qualifications for traction?" Du Xiao was a little puzzled, "Isn't it possible to hang a trailer on any model and run the whole country?"

"Look at your driving license, the column on the driving license is called 'traction quality', if it is blank, you can't tow anything. ”

"I see. Du Xiao suddenly realized, it seems that he must pay attention to this when buying a car, "What pickup truck do you recommend to me?"

"I recommend three cars to you, Dodge's Ram, Ford's F150 and Toyota's Tantu. "In fact, there are a lot of pickup trucks, and there are also a lot of domestic ones, from the recently very popular Great Wall cannon to the older Great Wall Fengjun 5, Huanghai N2 and so on.

Compared to expensive imported models, domestic pickup trucks are very cheap.

The 2017 Wingle 5, which is a one-year car age and tens of thousands of kilometers, is 80,000 to 90,000.

The five-year-old 2015 Wingle 5, which is 780,000 kilometers old, only sold for about 50,000 yuan.

As for the Huanghai N2, it is cheaper, two years old, tens of thousands of kilometers of cars, about 60,000.

Although the domestic pickup truck is cheap, the quality is good, the leather can be loaded, whether it is to put fishing supplies, or to pull a brick cement or something, it is almost trivial, it is a good choice.

Fang Yuan didn't introduce the domestic pickup truck to Du Xiao, because he was worried that the boss of such a big person would not look down on him, and the Ford F150, Dodge Ram and Toyota Tantu are larger, with more space, and a larger fuel tank, which is more suitable for journeys of thousands of kilometers.

"Dodge's ram, Ford's F150 and Toyota's smooth road?" Fang Yuan said three pickup trucks at once, Du Xiao was very happy that he could have room to choose, and felt that Fang Yuan was careful, he was very interested in these three pickups, "Is there any current car for me to see?"

The biggest advantage of selling second-hand cars is that there are many models, Fang Yuan is familiar with every car in the car dealership, and immediately replied: "Our Zhenghong car dealership has a Toyota Tantu and a Ford F150, but there is no Dodge ram." ”

"It's a shame. Du Xiao was a little disappointed, but he was still ready to take a look at the Toyota Tantu and Ford F150 first.

"I'll try to ask someone else. Fang Yuan knew that it was different from buying Ruizhi for Zhang Chen, Ruizhi was no matter how niche it was, and it had sold 520,000 vehicles in Huaxia in 12 years.

The type of Dodge Ram is a real unpopular niche car, and ordinary car dealers will not have it.

So Fang Yuan didn't dare to say it to death, so he could only try to send a message in each of the five WeChat groups of the guild: "Who has a Dodge Ram?"

Fang Yuan knew that Du Xiao was not here to buy a second-hand car, and he was worried that others would misunderstand, so he immediately marked it on the back again, I have a friend who wants to see the real car, not to buy it.

"President, I have one. ”

Within two seconds, there was a reply to the message immediately, and it turned out to be Dong Biao.

"Brother Biao, my friend doesn't want to buy a car, he just wants to take a look. ”

Fang Yuan felt that he should explain the situation clearly, and he must not let Dong Biao misunderstand, so he hurriedly repeated it.

"Well, I know. ”

Since he didn't mind, Fang Yuan was going to borrow the car back and put the three cars side by side, so that it would be better compared in terms of appearance, interior, size, etc., and when the car was delivered, he would drive to Jingcheng Auto Repair Factory to wash the car, and thank Dong Biao for giving face.

"Does your Dodge Ram have any customers? I want to drive to Masahiro. ”

"There are no customers, I have a birthday in my hands, and the car that I received a year ago has not been sold for so long. Dong Biao sent another angry expression, "I'll send it to you." ”

I borrowed a car and sent it to myself, Fang Yuan hurriedly refused: "I'll go and drive." ”

"Don't say it, I'm out there and I'll be there in a minute. ”

Since Dong Biao was so polite, Fang Yuan could only put away his mobile phone and let Dong Biao send the car over.

Seeing that Fang Yuan didn't send a message, Du Xiao asked curiously what the result was, did he find the Dodge Ram?

"I found it, and my friend sent the car right away. Fang Yuan explained to Du Xiao, and said, "I'll go to the door to greet you, you two wait." ”

"If someone else comes to deliver the car, I'll follow to take a look. Du Xiao was idle in the car dealership, and he didn't want to go to any VIP room to rest, so he simply followed him to the gate of Zhenghong car dealership.

Du Xiao is familiar with off-road vehicles and performance cars, but he really doesn't know anything about pickup trucks, so he asked Fang Yuan curiously while walking: "The Ford F150 you just said is it a Raptor?"

"It's not. Fang Yuan patiently told Du Xiao that although there is not much difference between the Ford F150 and the Raptor in terms of size, they are different.

The Raptor is the SVT performance version of the Ford F150, with more exterior kits, FOX nitrogen suspension and SVT logo on the rear panel, which can be understood as the relationship between the Golf GTI and the Golf, the Focus RS and the Focus.

So it can be said that the Raptor is a Ford F150, but it cannot be said that the Ford F150 is a Raptor.
