Meet The First Chinese Arctic Truck, Great Wall Wingle

Author: |

The Great Wall Wingle 7, which has been given the AT35 treatment, is China's first arctic truck. In 2018, the Wingle 7 was introduced as a ladder-frame pickup. Arctic Trucks are ladder-frame SUVs and pickup trucks from a variety of manufacturers, including Toyota, Mitsubishi, Nissan, Isuzu, and Ford, and this is not Great Wall's turn to get the AT35 treatment. The pickup was designed by Arctic Trucks' Russian subsidiary and is currently available for order in Russia.

A stronger suspension and anti-corrosion coating have also been added, allowing you to drive the Wingle 7 wherever you wish. With a 36-degree approach angle and a 29-degree departure angle, the off-road credentials have increased thanks to the aforementioned adjustments. A front winch, an automatic engine heater, and additional thermal insulation are available as options.

The pickup's breadth was increased by 230 mm thanks to Arctic Trucks' characteristic fender add-ons. The 17-inch alloy wheels are shod in massive 35-inch mud tires, which raises ground clearance by 64 mm to 276 mm. The pickup's tracks have also been widened by 180 mm, contributing to the pickup's wider stance.
