"UAZ Cargo" - a small truck

The domestic pick-up truck UAZ Cargo 23602-050 is produced serially at the Ulyanovsk Automobile Plant since 2008. This modification was developed specifically for farmers and land owners. The basis for the creation of the pickup "UAZ Cargo" was the legendary all-wheel drive off-road car "Patriot". Well, let's look at how successful this modification was.

"UAZ Cargo": reviews and review of the design

The manufacturer characterizes its pickup as a light commercial vehicle with high throughput. However, for "UAZ" high ground clearance and the property to conquer the roads is not a novelty at all. As for the car itself, "UAZ Cargo" completely copies the face of its soplatformennika. In the design of the novelty, the features of the familiar to the pain of "Patriot" are guessed - all the same plastic bumper with black fog caps, wide wheel arches, a large windshield and headlights rounded at the edges of the shape. If to be brief, then "UAZ Cargo" is the same "Patriot", only with the body from the "Farmer". The cabin of the car remained the same, it was only divided into 2 parts - the front was left for the driver, and instead of the rear, a separate cargo platform was placed. Now the length of the chassis is as much as 3 meters, which allowed to increase the useful space to 6 cubic meters. In general, motorists characterize the new modification as "Patriot" in collective farm performance. It is very practical in agriculture, but in the city it does not belong.

Salon

Inside, with all his desire to make "Cargo" comfortable engineers could not turn it into a "BMW." He still remains a simple "Rusich", without unnecessary twists and pathos. A minimum of electronics (although there are electric windows and a radio tape recorder) and a loudly ringing panel return us from the fairy tale to reality. Hard plastic is constantly thundering, the wheels of the deflectors adjusting on the pits, the stove constantly breaks down - here it is, a real Russian SUV with its own soul and character! Although the design of the front panel is very successful - it recalls the architecture of Japanese jeeps of the late 90s of the last century. On the other hand, why does a workhorse all kinds of navigators, on-board computers and parktronics? In rural areas, this only hinders exploitation, and also makes the construction expensive.

«UAZ Cargo»: technical characteristics

Under the hood of the novelty there is a gasoline engine from the Zavolzhsky motor plant ZMZ-409.10. With a volume of 2.7 liters, it develops a power of 128 horsepower. In pair with the petrol engine the mechanical five-speed transmission works. According to the passport data, the maximum speed of the UAZ Cargo pickup truck is 130 kilometers per hour. At the same time, the average fuel consumption is 13 liters per hundred.

Also, the buyer can purchase a pure chassis for 460 thousand rubles. For an additional fee (30 thousand rubles), "UAZ Cargo" can be converted from gasoline to gas.
