GAZ-53 (nickname ''Gazon'') is a 3.5 tonne 4x2 truck from GAZ, introduced first as GAZ-53F in 1961. Production of GAZ-53 began in 1961 and ended in 1997. It was joined in 1962 by the virtually identical 2.5-ton GAZ-52, which was produced until 1989. GAZ-52 and GAZ-53 trucks are distinguished by tonnage (payload): GAZ-52 was able to carry up to 2.5 tonnes of cargo, and its maximum speed (owing to its lighter gross weight) is 90 km/h; whereas GAZ-53A could carry up to 4 tonnes of cargo, and its maximum speed is 70 km/h. With this in mind, GAZ-52 is known as a 2.5-tonne truck, and GAZ-53 a 4-tonne truck. Given the long production run of GAZ-52/53 and their variants, the series is a common sight in Eastern Europe, although they shouldn't be mistaken for the broadly similar 5-6 ton ZIL-130, which is usually also painted light blue with white on the front. The GAZ grille is fluted vertically, and the direction indicators are located above the headlamps. The ZIL has flashers below the headlamps and its grille is horizontally slated. ==History== The main (or basic) variant of GAZ-53 with no suffix letter was released in 1964, which was manufactured until 1993. It featured a brand-new 4254 cc light-alloy V8 ZMZ-53 engine, producing 120 hp SAE Gross @ 3200 rpm, giving a top speed of . Early versions of GAZ-53 were powered by an old 75-hp SAE Gross 6-cylinder engine from the GAZ-51 truck; but since 1964, GAZ-53 was equipped with a 4.3L ''ZMZ-53'' V8 engine. Payload was increased to 4 tons in a later model, called GAZ-53A. All variants use a four-speed gearbox, synchronised on third and fourth. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「GAZ-53」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
