The Coolest Chinese Pick Up Truck
Dandong Shu Guang are making some cool looking vehicles, trendy SUV’s and this funky pick up truck. The ‘Da Chai Shen’ which pretty much translates as ‘Big Diesel God’ looks good both internally and externally.
The brochure we have for the Big Diesel God says that the pick up truck comes with European styling and quality driving as well as being a modern classic. On paper, the Da Chai Shen really talks the talk, but can it walk the walk?
Under the hood the truck comes with either a 2.2L Toyota supplied diesel engine that gives out a top speed of 130kph, if that doesnt work for you, there is the option of a 3.2L engine from FAW (First Automotive Works) but that only gives out a top speed of 120kph, but we’re sure that people who buy these trucks don’t buy them for their top speeds but rather their carrying capacity, which by the way, isn’t written in the trucks brochure. This truck is only available as a 5 speed manual, there is no automatic option. Also, the truck only offers 4×2 perhaps in the future 4×4 will be made available.
The Da Chai Shen is available as a crew cab which can sit 5 people comfortably in the supplied cream leather seats. The quality of the central consoles is rather good for a truck of its price, the design itself is rather quite amazing – its nothing like what we would have expected from a Chinese pick up truck design. The stereo system appears to be rather hi-tech, much like the Roewe central console
The quality of the cars cabin is really, really very good. Did we already mention that?
The brochure says the Dai Chai Shen ‘really saves oil’ – apparently this truck costs $0.036 per km to run, which sounds pretty good. Shu Guang also offer the option of adding a turbo, which would add an extra 12 horses to the total number of horses available.
Want to know how much this pick up truck is? Well, the leather interior pick up we looked at is 62,000rmb, thats $8,101USD – perhaps one of the best bargains on the road.

it’s clearly a chevy copy, period, no matter what the chinese cars defenders blindly try convincing it’s not…
just like BYD F3 and toyota corolla…
or are you going to say it’s a totally different design as well??
maybe the term “copy” in China has lost it’s meaning in a way that “copy” for Chinese people are nowadays considered only if it’s a complete replica of the original model…
I need to know how can i buy this pick-up or if you have the web side…thanks
You know, I hate it. Against the original, the Chinese version has a subdued but deep masculinity, but when you look at the Chevy Colorado, you just think the Chinese car is underendowed. And the Colorado is unlikeable; its masculinity is straight and flagrant. The Chinese version has subtlety, but…
Somewhere, someone described Tolkien’s Lord of the Rings in comparison to Wagner’s Ring Cycle. The Ring Cycle was a hopeful, ambitious, but a bit monstrous manifestation of Romanticism. The Lord of the Rings was bourgeois to its core. But when you read Tolkien, it affects your responses to the Ring Cycle; it breaks the Wagnerian spell with its thematic parallels; an evil Ring in Tolkien, a Ring of evil in Wagner, good hobbits and evil dwarves, Gods whose power have waned… so Wagner’s beautiful monster is slain. An adult dream of destruction and renewal, the symbolic depiction of 19th-century life, the hopes and dreams of men and women, this is all dashed by a child’s fantasy! So if you’ve read the simple-minded myth of a patriarchal world, where life is of submission to God, where the world is wonderous in its Kitsch and thus worth saving, where the terrorists are well, terrorists, the music will no longer sing to you.
And such it is with the cheap Chinese imitation and its American original. A man who does not need to prove himself a man; this is destroyed by a forceful masculinity.
