The JMC Yuhu (江铃域虎) is a mid-size pickup truck produced by Jiangling Motors for the Chinese market. The model was also sold as the second generation Boarding or Baodian (宝典）in several markets and is also the successor of the JMC Baodian. The Yuhu later spawned a few variants that was sold alongside each other including the regular Baodian, the Yuhu 3 and Yuhu 5.

Overview

The JMC Yuhu pickup shares similar exterior design elements with the Ford Ranger and Mazda BT-50, but it is built on Jiangling's own platform.

During the 2015 Shanghai Motor Show, Jiangling Motors showed off an off-road coupé utility concept version of the pickup with cooperation with Ford.

Jiangling entered the Australian market in 2016, and the truck is the first model sold under the name JMC Vigus. Jiangling left the Australian market in 2018 due to poor sales of the Vigus.
