The Dongfeng Tianlong is such a high-end truck. Yet its cabin suspension isn't airbag-based? It's spring-based. Why has a Tianlong flagship 560-horsepower truck of just over two years old ended up in the used car market? Is its condition really that bad? Are current freight rates really that poor? Let's take a look at whether this truck has just entered our used car market.

 

 

 

 

 

 

The cab as a whole is high-end, stylish, and classy. Of course, it has a flat floor, which is essential for a flagship model. The KX560 has the highest horsepower. It has had a flat floor for more than two years now. People in the northwest also quite like it for its decorative aspects, so just looking at the interior shows this. Naturally, it is paired with a Dongwo transmission. When we get out of the truck, we can take a look at the A-pillar and windshield, as well as the side windows. These are all original. Every detail has original markings, including the blind spots and foot pedals, all untouched. This model is a manual transmission with a Dongwo gearbox, paired with a 560-horsepower, 13-liter Cummins engine. It's fuel-efficient; although the horsepower is high, the gear ratio needs to match. Let's take a look at its gear ratio - it shouldn't be too high or too low. The ratio is shown on the aluminum plate inside the rear tires: a 3.64 rear axle ratio matching the 560-hp Cummins engine and Dongwo transmission, with a half-gear. This is a golden power output chain. Looking at the details, the tires are more than 90% new. There is a dual fuel tank configuration, which can support heating and -30 diesel, with water-circulation tank heating - quite good. Most surprisingly for such a high-end truck, the two front airbags are original, as well as the LED headlights. The cab is very solid and squared, and the rear has two airbags for suspension, making the ride extremely comfortable. The engine and chassis are very straight and solid, including the rear axle overload springs. If this is such a good truck, why has it entered the second-hand market? We'll discuss that in email replies. ...
