Serial production of this well-known throughout the CIS machine with a lot of advantages was launched in 2008.

General characteristics

This all-wheel drive cargo-passenger cross-country vehicle is based on the Patriot SUV, which is the flagship of the automobile plant in Ulyanovsk. This explains the many similar elements of the exterior and interior, which are visible to the naked eye, in the UAZ-Pickup and its identical progenitor. But there are a number of differences.

After all, the updated car has a five-door all-metal body of a completely different configuration, which allows you to transport bulky goods both on high-quality roads and on muddy roads. At the same time, the interior of the UAZ-Pickup model provides a high level of sound insulation and vibration protection due to the use of modern materials. The uninterrupted operation of the car's power plant is guaranteed due to the use of high-quality foreign components and assemblies, which are designed taking into account the conditions of the Russian winter. The machine uses a modified braking system and comfortable steering, which provides excellent driving performance on all types of road surface.

Before serial production and the release of the UAZ-Pickup car on the conveyor, it passed many tests and technical tests, which confirmed its excellent cross-country ability in various conditions, as well as the reliability and trouble-free operation of its components and assemblies. This car can make its way almost anywhere – only the slightest hint of the road is needed, because broken asph alt and primer swamps, fords up to one and a half meters deep and young forest growth do not have a significant effect on its suspension. It is because of these features that the pickup truck is very popular with some motorists: fishermen and hunters, foresters and farmers, tourists and off-roaders. In addition, people who do not have to sit in offices due to the nature of their activity or profession can hardly imagine their lives without this four-wheeled comrade. It has become indispensable for surveyors, geologists, builders, agronomists and other professionals who spend a lot of time on the road.

To meet the demand of all categories of the population, the UAZ-Pickup was presented in several trim levels, which differ in size and scope for different conditions.

Vehicle modifications:

• cargo;
• classic;
• comfort.

In 2012, a number of changes were made to the design of the vehicle, which were aimed at increasing the comfort when moving and the reliability of its equipment.

Updated interior

The interior of the car is designed to movefive passengers, so it provides a cabin with two rows of seats. The quality of the finish will be to the taste of many drivers, because the plastic parts are made of a reliable and durable material that is not neglected because of its cheapness or unassuming appearance. The front panel and steering wheel have also undergone changes, the design of instruments and the convenience of reading their values have improved several times.

New body

The platform for the pickup in question was its elongated design from the Patriot, which makes it possible to easily accommodate passengers and provide a spacious cargo compartment for household needs. Despite the fact that in this UAZ model the main drive is rear, due to aerodynamic features, fuel consumption is slightly more than that of a five-door station wagon. In addition, due to the shifted center of weight, driving an empty machine in winter conditions can become a problem, since an unloaded rear axle is not fully capable of providing high-quality grip on the roadway. You may need to install tires with aggressive tread.

Technical data and vehicle features

• downshift in transfer case;
• permanent rear-wheel drive and hardwired front;
• safety power steering;
• reliable rear suspension with leaf springs and spring front suspension with anti-roll bar;
• ventilated disc front brakes.

In this equipment, the car is capable of speeds of 140 km / h, with a maximum consumption of gasoline of 16 liters, and diesel fuel of about 13 liters. With capacious 87 dm tanks3 the car has a decent range, which does not limit its autonomy.

Tuning and improvement

Pickup, which will be operated in off-road conditions or low temperatures, it is better to prepare for this in advance. Carry out anti-corrosion treatment of open areas of the bottom, install crankcase protection, which will prevent damage to it. If necessary, mount a hydraulic winch, which will help out in extreme cases.

Cost
