The JAC T9 Hunter was the first Chinese pickup to enter the Pakistani market; before that, only JDM and Korean players were playing in the field. It has a 2.0-liter diesel engine, which is on the smaller side compared to competitors. Priced at 1.05 crore, it’s about 31% cheaper than the Toyota Revo and 19% cheaper than the Isuzu D-Max 3rd generation.
The D-Max, on the other hand, has a 3.0-liter turbo engine, making it a more powerful option. Despite the difference in engine size, both the T9 and D-Max offer solid features and similar interior styling that matches modern 2025-ish standards. While both interiors look good, the D-Max appeals more visually, though this comes down to personal preference.
- JAC T9 Hunter: PKR 10,500,000
