Tough Off-road Trucks for Fishing on Rocky Shores

Off-road Trucks for Fishing face a punishing mix of sharp rock, salt spray, heavy gear, and fast-changing weather. From Dongfeng's standpoint, these are not edge cases - they are the real world. We built the RICH6 Pro to meet that world head-on, pairing disciplined engineering with everyday usability and a smart approach to cost of ownership.

Built For Harsh Terrain: Platform, Chassis, And Quality

Rocky shorelines expose weak frames, soft suspensions, and ordinary corrosion protection. Many anglers also report an all-too-familiar pattern: the truck rattles under load, hardware wears early, and downtime creeps up. The RICH6 Pro is our answer, starting with a platform that has already proven itself where roads end.

1. Proven Architecture For Off-Road Confidence

The RICH6 Pro shares its technical foundation with the high-end brand, bringing professional off-road chassis tuning to daily fishing runs. Up front, a double-wishbone independent suspension with a transverse stabilizer bar controls lateral movement and keeps the tire planted as you crawl across jagged rock. In the rear, progressive steel leaf springs with a resonance damping block balance comfort with control, so the truck stays composed when you're launching a boat on a rough ramp or climbing an uneven path with coolers, bait tanks, and tackle on board.

• Manufacturing Discipline You Can Feel

Reliability is engineered, not wished into existence. The RICH6 Pro follows a strict joint-venture quality system (AVES) and is built on the same line as brand using intelligent manufacturing. We pair that with top-tier global and national suppliers for consistent component quality. Salt is the enemy on the coast, so the body structure carries true 10-year anti-corrosion protection and has passed 1,440-hour corrosion tests. For anglers, that means your investment fights rust season after season.

• Everyday Comfort That Stays Tough

Long approaches to remote coves call for supportive seating and intuitive controls, not gimmicks. Inside, the zero-gravity health seats reduce fatigue on scouting days, while a 10.25-inch LCD display and a clean, modern instrument panel keep information simple. Details that matter at dusk - family intelligent key, electromagnetic fuel cap, and mist-type washer nozzles - remove small hassles when you're wet, tired, and juggling gear.

✅  Highlights For Anglers

• Off-road Trucks for Fishing tuned for rocky, uneven coastal terrain
• Zero-gravity seats that cut fatigue on long drives
• Anti-corrosion body built for salt and spray
• BCM smart controls (delayed headlights, window power-off delay, auto relock) for safer operation in the dark

Safety, Power, And Control Where It Matters Most

Skirting tide lines and threading narrow tracks leave little room for error. The RICH6 Pro layers passive protection, active systems, and driver-first ergonomics so control stays with you when surfaces turn slick.

1. Safety That Anticipates The Unexpected

Our safety cell follows the ZONE BODY concept. Passive measures include a high-strength, tank-grade body, a collapsible brake pedal, front seatbelt height adjustment, and a rear center three-point belt. On the active side, an ESC system with eight integrated functions (4WD & 8AT) helps manage traction on algae-slick stone or wet sand. Reversing radar and camera, front fog lamps, LED daytime running lights, automatic headlights, and tire pressure monitoring (8AT) support safer positioning at dawn, dusk, or in coastal mist.

• Ergonomics Tuned For Real Drivers

Visibility and fit shape confidence on technical ground. We increased the driver seat height-adjust range from 30 mm to 50 mm, opening a better seating envelope for more body types and driving styles. The forward downward blind zone shrinks by 1.5 m versus the previous Ruiqi 6 - an improvement of 14% (10.6 m → 9.1 m) - which helps when picking a line through rocks or backing to the waterline.

• Powertrain That Bites At Low Speed

Fishing access often means steep ramps and soft surfaces where low-end torque does the heavy lifting. The 2.3T M9T diesel engine pairs with a ZF 8AT for smooth, decisive shifts. Low-speed torque rises by 12.5% (240 N·m → 270 N·m), improving hill-start capability from 40% to 45% grades. With a full load, the RICH6 Pro climbs sooner, steadier, and with less throttle - exactly what you want when you're timing a safe launch between sets.

✅  Control & Safety Essentials

•  Eight-function ESC (4WD & 8AT) for slippery rock and ramps

•  Improved sightlines and expanded seat travel for precise placement

•  High-strength body plus comprehensive passive restraints

•  Off-road Trucks for Fishing calibrated for slow-speed traction and stability

Capacity, Efficiency, And Style For Real Workdays

Rods, coolers, tackle bins, waders, nets, batteries - anglers carry more than most owners realize. Many pickups respond with squat, bounce, or a nose-high stance that compromises control. The RICH6 Pro is set up to haul more, with composure.

1. Big Cargo, Less Fuss

The cargo box measures 1.85 m (inner length) with class-leading inner width and a wear-resistant bedliner as standard. The rear suspension's high-strength leaf springs increase stiffness by 50%, so the truck resists nose-up posture under load. A 160-strengthened leaf spring (spray-marked) underscores the upgrade. We reinforced the tailgate hinges from 2.5 mm to 4.0 mm, raising the rated tailgate load from 250 kg to 600 kg - a 140% increase - so loading outboards or ice-heavy coolers is simpler and safer. A full-steel roll bar and external rope hooks speed up tie-downs for rods and traps.

✅  Real-World Cargo Advantages

•  Fewer shuttles between pier and camp - more time casting

•  Secure, stable stance when fully packed

•  Tie-down points and roll bar that work with actual fishing gear

•  Efficient Ownership That Pays Back

Fuel spend eats margins for charter operators and frequent weekend runs. The RICH6 Pro is tuned for thrift without dulling response:

•  6MT 4WD: NEDC 7.5 L/100 km, typically 0.5 - 0.8 L/100 km lower than common rivals

•  8AT 4WD: NEDC 7.9 L/100 km, typically 0.4 - 0.6 L/100 km lower than common rivals

Lower consumption, plus durable hardware and strict process control, helps reduce total cost over years of coastal duty - one reason Off-road Trucks for Fishing built for real work end up costing less than they appear.

• Rugged Style, Smart Comfort

The refreshed exterior signals function first: a powerful front grille, "flying eagle” mesh, and eagle-eye projector headlamps (8AT with auto-on and LED DRLs) provide a bold, confident look that fits the environment. Inside, a D-shaped multifunction steering wheel, cruise control (diesel), driver 6-way adjustment, and a glasses holder deliver daily convenience without clutter. For cold-climate anglers, the High-Cold Package adds a heating pump, seat heating, dual diesel filters, metal rear bumper, and off-road tires - useful on icy quays and winter roads.
