KAMAZ 5320 Reviews

I will say right away that I did not like the KamAZ 5320 truck, although it was my first experience of working on heavy trucks. You will find out why you did not like it by reading the review to the end. Well, for the sake of justice, it’s worth starting with the pluses that are undoubtedly inherent in this creation of the automotive industry. An excellent stove that heats the interior in any frost, even if the engine is idling, the temperature is such that you can spend the night naked. Excellent visibility, perfectly keeps the road in ice thanks to the locking center differential. That’s probably all the pluses, let’s see what’s bad. And so, after the parking of any KamAZ, any model, an indispensable attribute of a stain from oil or diesel fuel on the ground. It flows like from a wild boar wounded on the hunt, it is useless to fight with smudges. Knitting wire and a piece of oxygen hose should always be in stock, pneumatics do not stand up to any criticism. Constant damage to the main tubes due to rubbing or simply breaking. The tubes themselves are in the frame in hard-to-reach places. Pneumatic cranes also do not withstand loads, as a rule, the crane responsible for the axle load fails first, then the triple protection, etc., etc. There is usually only one reason, oil from the compressor enters the air, which cannot be ideally restored. The oil destroys the rubber parts in the system. A trifle, but still, to tow the car, you need to remove the front bumper, as you can’t hook a rigid hitch on the hooks. In this case, you need to manage to supply air from the towed
to the towed vehicle. Entire legends are told by experienced drivers about how KamAZ trucks roll over due to a detached spare wheel, it is located extremely unsuccessfully, when it comes off, it will fall just under the rear wheels. The instrument panel is too scattered, the instruments are blocked by the steering wheel, there is no airflow to the side windows. Middle seat without any shock absorbers. Switch keys without backlight, touch at night. It would not be superfluous to have a mirror for the right front wheel. The air filter pollution sensor is not set correctly, it does not warn of pollution, when it works, the engine is already stalling. In general, it’s impossible to work as a pure driver on KamAZ, you also need to be a mechanic, hold the steering wheel with one hand, turn the nuts with the other and pick up the parts that have fallen off. And remembering the traffic rules about the ban on intervention in the brake system, so you have to be a potential violator. Summing up, KamAZ is a training vehicle, train and forget like a bad dream.

For the seventies, this car was the epitome of everything new in the automotive industry. Modern look. large carrying capacity and perhaps this is the first car in the USSR, including cars, in which they thought about the comfort of the driver. Excellent cabin heater, easy operation and good visibility. True, terrible cross-country ability and handling on a winter road and on wet ground. Well https://cars45.com/listing/acura/tsx, yes, the car was developed for roads with asphalt and concrete surfaces. And it is not intended for off-road use. And while the cars were used according to the planned program adopted in the USSR, for a maximum of 10 years and for decommissioning, the car was considered reliable. But in the nineties, when many KamAZ trucks fell into private hands, there were many complaints about reliability, which was to be expected. A car that has traveled hundreds of thousands of kilometers and lived for 20-40 years cannot be reliable. Even the simple aging of materials must be taken into account; over the years, only cognac gets better. But not a car. But in general, a good car was created and many gratefully remember their friend KamAZ! Although already an outdated car. But still left a noticeable mark in the history of the country.

The equipment is good, Soviet, a three-axle flatbed truck with a 6×4 wheel arrangement. Platform with opening side and rear. Cabin – triple, all-metal, leaning forward, equipped with places for attaching seat belts. When you wake up to buy a truck, be sure to take the crankshaft (nominal value) – this is the first bore. So, a car for home or business is just right.

You can’t say that the car is bad. All characteristics are ideal for short hauls. Simple as 3 rubles to maintain, everything is cheap, low consumption. Pulls well! Convenience at the level of KAMAZ, everything is standard, for those who are familiar. And who is not familiar, in a nutshell can be compared with sitting on an ordinary sofa. It happens that it is cool in the cabin in winter, but if you install an autonomous system, then in general there are all conditions for comfortable living and driving. Carrying capacity at the level, the engine is quite powerful. Everything is available without a pit, in principle, so that repairs can be made right on the side of the road., in which case. In general, cars are not for long-distance flights, but short-haul flights for little money are ideal.

We used a car for transporting lumber well suited for construction work, as it has a powerful construction crane manipulator with a lifting capacity of up to 1200 at a full reach of 8 meters.
