A few days ago, we exclusively reported that Ghandhara Automobiles was set to launch a lower-trim version of the JAC T9 Hunter called the JAC T9 FRISON 2X.
Today, the company has officially launched its new pickup in Pakistan and is now accepting bookings.
A More Accessible JAC, Same Premium Feel
The T9 FRISON 2X retains nearly all the design, comfort, and performance features of the 4×4 Hunter.
The only major change? It now comes with a rear-wheel drive (4×2) setup instead of a 4×4 drivetrain, offering a more city- and highway-friendly configuration for urban users who don’t need off-road capabilities.
Despite the drivetrain change, nothing else has been stripped down; the FRISON 2X delivers the same build, interior, and feature-rich tech package as its higher-priced sibling.
Price and Booking
The price of the JAC T9 FRISON 2X is Rs. 8,775,000 (ex-factory), with a booking amount of Rs. 2.3 million (23 lacs). Bookings are now open at Ghandhara dealerships across Pakistan.
Key Differences from the Hunter
- Drivetrain: Rear-wheel drive (4×2) instead of 4×4
- Front Grille: Redesigned for a more distinct, urban look
- Alloy Wheels: New 18-inch dual-spoke design
- All Other Features: Remain identical to the Hunter

First Look
Exclusive images reveal that the FRISON 2X maintains the same imposing stance and premium cabin layout as the T9 Hunter, now tailored for everyday use and on-road comfort.
Where it stands against the Competition
At this price point, the JAC T9 FRISON 2X will directly compete with the Isuzu D-Max V-Cross Auto Plus, which is also a toned-down version of the flagship D-Max V-Cross.
The FRISON 2X clearly holds an edge with its competitive pricing and full feature retention, offering better value within the segment.
A Smart Move by Ghandhara
The T9 FRISON 2X, Ghandhara, has expanded its pickup lineup to attract urban users who don’t necessarily need a 4×4 off-roader.
The local assembly and competitive pricing could help the brand strengthen its position in Pakistan’s growing pickup market.
