What are the differences between JH6 and J6P?
2 Answers
JH6 can be considered as an upgraded version of J6P. The main differences between JH6 and J6P lie in the enhanced cabin safety, comfort, and richer configuration features of JH6. Below are the distinctions between JH6 and J6P: 1. Exterior: J6P has a more rugged yet timeless appearance with a classic design, while JH6 boasts a more aggressive and internationally styled look. 2. Details: The three speed indicator lights in the middle of J6P's front are absent in JH6. JH6's headlights appear more vibrant than J6P's and are equipped with LED contour lights, giving it a distinctive personality. Due to current policy requirements, both vehicles come with front underrun protection beams. JH6's front bumper is closer to the ground and seamlessly integrated into the bumper, whereas J6P's is exposed. 3. Transmission: Both vehicles use the FAW CA12TAX210M 12-speed transmission and FAW 457 welded axle. However, the rear axle ratio for J6P is 4.111, while JH6's is 3.7.
Speaking of the differences between the JH6 and J6P, I've driven both models many times. The JH6 has a more modern design with softer seats, and its body is much more stable on long-distance highway drives, making it less likely to cause back pain from bumps. The engine is finely tuned, resulting in slightly better fuel efficiency—saving about 1-2 liters per 100 kilometers on average—though the vehicle itself is tens of thousands more expensive. The J6P, on the other hand, has that classic, rugged feel—it drives sturdier with simpler, more direct handling. The seats aren’t as cushioned, so long hauls can leave you feeling more fatigued. Fuel consumption is a bit higher, but the overall price is lower, parts are easier to find, and repairs are more straightforward. Both are solid FAW trucks: the JH6 suits those who frequently travel long distances and prioritize comfort, while the J6P is better for short-haul jobs or tighter budgets. The main differences lie in comfort and cost—just choose based on your needs.
