What are the differences between the J6P and JH6?

[MadelineRose]

The FAW J6P is currently one of the most mature mainstream heavy-duty trucks in China. The JH6, on the other hand, can be understood as a transitional product between the J6 and J7, hence it is also referred to as the J6.5 or the half-generation J6. Each has its own advantages, and the choice depends on the owner's personal preference. If you prioritize maturity and stability, the J6P is a good option, while if you want to experience new features and more functionality, the JH6 is a better choice. The main differences between the J6P and JH6 are as follows: 1. Exterior: When the J6P was first launched, its rugged appearance was hard for many truck enthusiasts to accept. However, it has proven to be a very enduring design, now considered a classic, and has directly inspired the family look of the J6M/J6L/J6F series. The JH6, on the other hand, has a more aggressive and international appearance, with an overall raised cab that makes it look taller. 2. Details: The three speed indicator lights in the middle of the J6P's front are not present on the JH6. The JH6's headlights appear more vibrant than the J6P's and come with LED contour lights, giving it a distinctive look. Due to current policy requirements, both trucks are equipped with front underrun protection beams. The JH6's front bumper is lower to the ground and hidden within the bumper, while the J6P's front bumper is exposed. 3. Transmission: Both trucks use the FAW CA12TAX210M 12-speed transmission and the FAW 457 welded axle. The J6P has a rear axle ratio of 4.111, while the JH6's rear axle ratio is 3.7. 4. Frame: The JH6 uses a single-layer frame measuring 300x80x8, while the J6P uses a double-layer frame measuring 300X80X(8+5), providing better suitability for heavy-load demands. 5. Suspension: The JH6 features a few-leaf spring structure both front and rear, with three parabolic leaf springs in the front and four in the rear. The J6P, however, uses multi-leaf spring structures both front and rear, offering greater load-bearing capacity than the JH6. 6. Weight reduction: The JH6 uses aluminum alloy air reservoirs, while the J6P uses iron ones. 7. Cab: The JH6's cab is raised, achieving a near-flat floor structure inside, which provides more spacious interior space and better comfort. Additionally, the JH6's A-pillar angle is much smaller than the J6P's, resulting in superior visibility compared to the J6P.
