Hello everyone, this issue analyzes the new Toyota Tantu, the reason for paying attention to Toyota Tantu is that I prefer the Toyota Sequoia car, and the Toyota Tantu is expected to see the shadow of the new Toyota Sequoia in the design, and this is a very off-road pickup truck model.
1. Brand analysis
Because luxury brands do not have more products in the pickup truck market, toyota brands still have a good brand premium ability in the pickup truck market, and due to the positioning of Toyota's flagship, it also increases brand influence.
2. Market analysis
The new Toyota Tantu is Toyota's flagship pickup truck series, which has a larger body size, a more aura design than the same level of SUVs, and the shape with a cargo box also improves practicality. Mainly in the North American market, pickup truck sales are better, and it is a niche model in the domestic market. Personally, I feel that this car is more fragrant than the Toyota Land Cruiser. The most direct competitor, the Ford F-150 Raptor, will be confirmed next year, but the car has not yet been directly introduced to the specific news, very unfortunately.
3. Competitors
In this market range, there is no doubt that Toyota Tantu and Ford F-150 are very important pickup truck series, but also the most direct competitors, from the sales point of view, Ford F-150 is obviously better, in addition to Chevrolet Solod and other strong market competitors, are in the senior market of pickup trucks. However, from the appearance of the new generation, Toyota's smooth road may be better.

(Note: The retention rate of used cars is based on the actual performance of the used car market after the new car is listed.) ）
