Tires on JMC Dadao (ДжиЭмСи)

The mid-size pickup JMC Dadao has been present in the production line of the Chinese brand since 2023, being intended solely for the domestic market of China. Its "global" version is called JMC Grand Avenue. The model became one of the first practical results of the brand's new strategy, which involves moving away from utilitarian equipment for commercial use in favor of universal transport, an alternative to SUVs and crossovers, for which a separate abbreviation was applied - PUV. Another important feature was the use of technical solutions borrowed from Ford as part of a joint venture, where local production of the Ranger pickup was established.

Universal Platform

The pickup is built on the Xuntian frame platform, which was initially designed for use with both classic internal combustion engines and various variations of electric powertrains. At the same time, the possibility of installing typical components for SUVs and pickups was preserved - a part-time all-wheel drive system, a non-split axle, and leaf springs at the rear. However, the chassis settings are distinguished by an emphasis on high performance, including on asphalt.

Already at the start of sales, the car was available in a large number of trim levels, differing primarily in wheelbase length - 3270 or 3470 mm. In the second version, the length of the pickup exceeds 5.6 meters, making it one of the most spacious in its segment. The drag coefficient of around 0.38 for a frame pickup is considered quite a good indicator.

Technical Components

Most of the produced specimens were equipped with a 2.3-liter turbo diesel "four" with a power of 177 hp and a torque of 450 Nm. It is combined with a 6-speed manual transmission or an 8-speed "automatic". An alternative is a gasoline turbo engine of the same volume, which develops 258 hp and a torque of 400 Nm. It works in a "pair" exclusively with an "automatic". All power units are modified versions of Ford's EcoBoost engine family.

Salon without utilitarianism

The model's strong point was the salon, which radically differs from most Chinese-made frame pickups. In terms of design and content, it is characteristic of modern full-size crossovers. Its central element is a 12-inch multimedia screen. In the top versions, a dashboard display of the same size is added to it. Wireless connection of smartphones and wearable gadgets is supported. The set of electronic systems deserves special attention. Dadao is equipped with the J-Pilot complex, including adaptive cruise control, all-around cameras, lane keeping system, and automatic braking. For the segment of mid-size pickups, such a set is still a rarity.

There are also unusual systems oriented towards travel enthusiasts: support for drone control, voice commands, "off-road" driving modes, and even a built-in karaoke function for the Chinese market. The latter looks exotic, but it well demonstrates the overall philosophy of the project - to turn a frame pickup into a universal vehicle for recreation and active leisure.

Versions for off-road

In addition to the standard trim levels, the manufacturer offers the car in special versions with "factory" preparation for "off-road". They are distinguished by extended wheel arches, off-road tires 285/70 R17, additional body protection, and a different setting of the all-wheel drive system. The ground clearance reaches 220 mm, and the depth of the ford that can be overcome in some export versions is claimed to be at the level of 900 mm. Additionally, electronic driving modes are provided for sand, mud, rocks, and snow. Against the background of competitors, Dadao stands out with a relatively "soft" suspension, ensuring a smooth ride on dirt roads. Many Chinese pickups still suffer from excessive stiffness of the rear axle, especially without load. Here, the settings are noticeably softer, which has a positive effect on everyday operation in the city, despite all the changes.

17-inch wheels and tires with a profile height of 65 or 70% are standard for this pickup. Wheels with such parameters largely ensure versatility in application, as they can provide high performance on both highways and rough terrain. In the "Mosavtoshina" online store, it is convenient to choose kits for different operating conditions - from daily trips to long journeys and off-road.
