Overview

What this generation is, and who it suits.

The T60 is Maxus's one-tonne pickup, launched in 2016 as SAIC's challenger to the HiLux and Ranger establishment. Sold in China as well as Australia, New Zealand, South America and other export markets, it uses 2.0 and 2.8-litre diesels with two- or four-wheel drive, and has been progressively updated — later T60 Max versions gained bolder styling and more power — while an electric derivative extended the range in some countries.

The T60's case has always been value: dual-cab 4x4 utility with long equipment lists at prices well under the Japanese and American-brand rivals. Owner feedback commonly praises the space and warranty and criticises drivetrain refinement and resale. As a work tool bought on price it is rational; as a lifestyle truck the established rivals still hold the aces.

Frequently asked questions

Is the T60 tough enough for real work?

Its ladder frame, payload and towing figures are competitive for the class, and fleets in Australasia and South America have used them hard. The main compromises are refinement and dealer density rather than fundamental strength.

How is the warranty and support?

Maxus distributors typically offer long warranties to offset brand caution, which is a genuine plus. Support quality varies by country, so check the local dealer and parts situation before buying.
