Background

The Foday Explorer is a series of compact and midsize SUVs manufactured since 2002 by Foday. The Explorer SUV series was developed based on the platform of the Mitsubishi Pajero with designs heavily inspired by the first and second-generation Isuzu D-Max and Chevrolet Colorado. Due to Foday Explorer's business in automotive parts and stampings, the vehicle bodies of the Foday Explorer were also sold to several manufacturers as rebadged pickups and SUVs.
