general characteristics

This all-wheel drive cargo-passenger vehicle of high cross-country capability is made on the basis of the off-road vehicle "Patriot", which is the flagship of the automobile plant in Ulyanovsk. This explains a lot of similar elements of appearance 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 transportation of bulky goods both on high-quality roads and on mudslides. At the same time the cabin of the model "UAZ-Pickup" provides a high level of noise insulation and protection from vibrations due to the use of modern materials.

This machine can get almost anywhere - just the slightest hint of the road is needed, because the broken asphalt and marshy tops, fords depth to one and a half meters and young forest growth do not have a significant influence on its suspension. It is because of these features that the pickup is very popular with some motorists: fishermen and hunters, foresters and farmers, tourists and off-shoreers. In addition, people who do not have to sit in classrooms according to the nature of their activities or profession, can hardly imagine their life without this four-wheeled comrade.

New body

The platform for the considered pickup was its lengthened construction from the Patriot, which makes it possible without difficulty to accommodate passengers and provide a spacious cargo compartment for economic needs.

It may be necessary to install tires with an aggressive tread.
