Two pickups can look similar and behave completely differently. If you are choosing stock for a market, the decision comes down to three things: rear suspension, cab style and how the vehicle will actually be loaded.

The single biggest difference: rear suspension

This is exactly how the two flagship models differ. The Tunland V7 uses a leaf-spring rear suspension and a black bumper with body-coloured casual wheel arches — the working end of the range. The Tunland V9 uses a five-link coil-spring rear suspension with a body-coloured bumper and black sport wheel arches — the comfort end. They share the P4 platform and the same powertrain.

Cab style

• Double cab — five seats. What most retail buyers want; also what fleet buyers choose when the vehicle doubles as transport.
• Single cab — two to three seats and a long bed. The right answer when the truck exists to carry things, not people.

Single cab is a body style on the same platform, not a separate family — the Tunland range covers both.

Gearing and drivetrain

Two-wheel drive costs less and uses less fuel. Four-wheel drive is not optional if your customers drive unsealed roads in the wet season, or if resale value depends on it. Ask your dealers which they actually sell; the answer is often more 4×4 than you would guess.

A practical way to decide your first order mix

1. Ask three dealers in your market which configuration they sell most of — cab style first, then drivetrain.
2. Split your first container so it covers both ends: one working configuration, one comfort configuration.
3. Let the second order follow what actually sold.
