FOTON Presents Search4Hurt Season 5

Australia’s toughest TV show just found its perfect match.

Season 5 of Search4Hurt will see another team of everyday (yet extremely fit!) Aussie athletes traveling the country, taking on some of the toughest possible training sessions, amazing events and epic adventures. Pushing themselves to the maximum limits of human potential, as they strive to be the last one standing.

And this time ’round, we’re excited to welcome FOTON as the official vehicle, and our official Presenting Partner of Search4Hurt.

This exciting new (and fitting) partnership coincides perfectly with FOTON’s re-entry into the Australian market, showcasing both the upcoming tough and adventure-ready all-new FOTON TUNLAND V7 and V9 Utes, alongside the already-available FOTON AUMARK S commercial workhorse light truck range.

The all-new FOTON TUNLAND V7 and V9 Utes will pack plenty of punch, with full-size 4×2 and 4×4 dual cabs, featuring a 2.0L turbo-diesel 48V hybrid engine, advanced safety tech, and practical features, built for real-world use, and ready to take on Australian worksites, roads and weekend adventures.

Launching to Australian drivers later this year, the all-new FOTON TUNLAND V7 and V9 Utes will be featured heavily as stars of the show throughout the upcoming Search4Hurt Season 5.

“Search4Hurt is a beast of a show, and we needed a partner that could match its grit,” said Adam McDonald, Executive Producer of Search4Hurt.

“FOTON’s vehicles – especially the next-generation TUNLAND Utes – are made to go anywhere and do anything, and this couldn’t align better with our plans for this season of the show.

“Season 5 is going to test every ounce of everyone’s physical and mental strength – and we’re pumped to have FOTON by our side for another exciting journey ahead.”

FOTON Australia General Manager, Glen Cooper, said “In the lead up to launch, TUNLAND has already been through extensive local testing across a range of Australian roads and terrain to help ensure it’s ready for what Australian driver’s need.

“Search4Hurt provides a high-adrenaline platform to showcase the new TUNLAND Ute in action – not in a showroom, but where it counts: mud, heat, remote roads and high pressure.”
