I once chatted with my dealer friends, which car, SUV and MPV have the longest life cycle? The answer was unexpected and turned out to be a pickup truck. There is no reason for this. This kind of car can pull and run, which not only has the sitting posture of SUV, the passability of off-road vehicle, the luxurious configuration of car, but also provides the loading and dragging ability comparable to that of truck. The rich versatility has expanded the new gameplay in various use scenarios, and also increased the modification potential sharply.
