Review of the MAZ-54329 car

Despite the abundance of foreign cars, domestically produced cars are still actively used in Russia and the CIS. Moreover, this applies not only to cars, but also to trucks. One of these is MAZ-54329. Characteristics and review of this truck tractor are further in our article.

Appearance

This truck came off the assembly line back in the 80s of the last century. At that time it was an advanced car. And not only technically, but also externally. The reader can see what the MAZ-54329 looks like in the photo in our article.

The car became the successor to the famous MAZ-500 (in common parlance, “tadpole”). The new model received a modernized cabin, which became larger and wider. The car continued to use a metal bumper. And, compared to the 500, the windshield in the new MAZ has been significantly expanded. In view of this, the design included as many as three wipers.

After the collapse of the USSR, the car was not discontinued, like many models of that time. Belarusians not only continued to produce this tractor, but also modernized it. MAZ-54329 in the 90s and 2000 looks completely different. This can be seen in the photos presented in the article.

The cabin design remains the same, but the car looks much more modern. Thus, the radiator grille and bumper were modified. The sleeping bag cutout is now a solid metal part of the cabin. Depending on the modification, a spoiler, fog lights and a fairing were installed on the MAZ-54329. As for the dimensions, the length of the tractor unit is 6 meters, width – 2.5 meters, and height – 3.65 meters.

Salon

The cabin of the described MAZ is designed for two people - a driver and a passenger. There was a sleeping bag in the back. Truckers also installed a second sleeping berth here. For those who traveled alone, it became a small closet where they could put things.

By the way, there are no glove compartments in the car, with the exception of a niche under the lower bunk. The center console also significantly conceals the space - it is designed to accommodate the power unit under the cabin. To move from the driver's to the passenger's side, you had to take off your shoes.

There is no glove compartment on the passenger side either. By modern standards, the design of all devices is quite ascetic. The only useful thing is the steering wheel that tilts towards the windshield. This allows you to climb inside the cabin without any problems.

The seats in a standard MAZ are not designed for long distances. And due to the lack of lumbar and lateral support, the drivers' backs became very stiff. The only solution was to install other seats from a foreign car (for example, from a Scania or Volvo). There was also no air conditioning in the cabin, although there was a mechanical sunroof. But it is not enough to ensure normal ventilation in the cabin.

Another feature of MAZ-54329 cars is the absence of a high cabin in modifications. Subsequently, the Belarusians released the MAZ-5440, which turned out to be much more comfortable.

Specifications

The car was equipped with a diesel engine from the Yaroslavl Motor Plant. This is a V-shaped “eight” with a displacement of 14.8 liters. The unit was not equipped with turbocharging. Therefore, with such a volume it had only 240 horsepower.

But even this indicator was enough for Soviet truck drivers. In all respects, MAZ outperformed the then KrAZ and KamAZ trucks.

In addition to MAZ-54329-020, there was a 400-horsepower modification. The Belarusians managed to achieve such power thanks to the installation of turbocharging. Moreover, the same YaMZ was used as the engine. But the most common is version 543205. This MAZ with an engine from the Yaroslavl Motor Plant already had 330 horsepower. Reviews from experts emphasize that this unit was distinguished by high traction and torque. Fuel consumption was not much different from the naturally aspirated 240-horsepower version of the truck.

Transmission, consumption

A 4-speed manual gearbox was used as a transmission. Many people will be surprised now - how can a long-haul tractor have 4 speeds? The fact is that each gear had its own “half” (a higher and lower series of steps). The result was 8 transmission speeds. In terms of fuel consumption, the MAZ was the most economical Soviet tractor.

The car spent from 29 to 32 liters of fuel per hundred kilometers. The car was equipped with a fuel tank of 350 liters. It was also possible to install an additional tank, which made it possible to increase the total volume to 500 liters. As a result, the cruising range of the truck tractor increased from 1,100 to 1,600 kilometers. The maximum speed of the car is 85 kilometers per hour. Although on the 400-horsepower versions, drivers easily accelerated to 120. Of course, this is not an entirely comfortable and safe driving mode, but the truck had a decent amount of power.

Conclusion

So, we found out what the MAZ-54329 tractor is. Of course, today this car is noticeably inferior to its competitors in terms of comfort and reliability. Therefore, in 1997, a new mainline tractor, the MAZ-5440, was developed, which is constantly being modernized, just as its predecessor was once improved.

Price

A wide selection of special equipment puts many buyers in a dilemma: to buy a foreign car or a domestic model.

In many cases, priority is given to the second category of machines. And the point here is not only the advantages of a more affordable cost, but also the large margin of safety, high performance and unpretentious maintenance that domestic trucks require.

The same fully applies to the MAZ-54329. Peculiarities of price distribution for tractors of this series depend on the year of their production, total mileage, and technical condition.

Cars from the early 1990s, which have already driven a distance of 100,000 to 300,000 or more kilometers, will cost starting from 100,000 rubles.

Attention! For tractors that have accumulated about 14,000-50,000 km and were produced between 2000 and 2004, you will have to pay an amount starting from 250,000 rubles and ending approximately at 850,000 rubles.

Although all the figures indicated are quite approximate, and there are still no clear price limits here. Each specific case of selling a used car includes many factors, which ultimately determine the cost.

Therefore, in order to make a profitable purchase of such a reliable workhorse as the MAZ-54329, you need to pay increased attention to a thorough search for the optimal option in the wide variety of available offers.

Original model

All MAZ 54329 models are based on a frame chassis with a wheelbase of 3555 mm. The front suspension is configured with springs and shock absorbers made of sheet steel.

Later modifications have torsion stabilizers. The rear axle is also based on sheet steel springs. Some models are equipped with a locking differential. The stabilizer, which is present at the stern, is responsible for lateral stability.

The MAZ 54329 tractor is equipped with a manual gearbox, which has from 5 to 16 speeds. The rear axle has a bevel pair and additional planetary gears enclosed in the hubs.

The driveshaft is placed between the axle and the manual transmission. All brake mechanisms are equipped with a pneumatic drive. It is also worth noting that the clutch is double-disc.

MAZ 54329 with serial number 020 is equipped with electrical wiring arranged according to a single-wire circuit. Standard voltage is 24 volts.

Power comes from batteries and a generator, which are mounted on the power plant. That is why the electrical circuit is simple and reliable.

Parameters of the MAZ 54329 020 tractor, which may be of interest to connoisseurs of domestic technology:

• length (no more) - 5956 mm;
• width (without mirror extension) - 2549 mm;
• height (to the top point of the exhaust pipe) - 3910 mm;
• front overhang length - 1420 mm;
• ground clearance (not less) - 265 mm;
• weight of the equipped unit - 7.35 tons;
• fuel tank capacity - 352 l;
• load on the front axle - 6220 kg;
• saddle load – up to 10310 kg.

Engine

In general, the MAZ-543203 tractor was a successful version, which featured a 250-horsepower V-shaped 6-cylinder diesel engine YaMZ-236BE. The power plant was equipped with a turbocharger, which contained an additional radiator cooled by compressed air.

Accordingly, the power of the MAZ 54329 power plant could be increased further with the help of these special turbochargers.

For one hundred kilometers, about forty liters of fuel are required, which is considered within the normal range. The German MAN diesel engine was often installed on the MAZ tractor. Average engine power is about 400 hp. Also included with this engine was a 16-speed manual transmission.

Such units allowed the vehicle to transport loads of up to 45 tons. Moreover, some models were equipped with a MAN F2000 truck cab.

Making the right choice

Studying numerous driver reviews of the described MAZ model, you can often come across dissatisfaction with certain components of the car, complaints about quick failure, or other comments.

However, having analyzed them in more detail, the conclusion arises that the cause of all the problems that have arisen are primarily incorrect operating conditions.

Thus, in order to save money, low-quality fuels and lubricants can be used, the use of which leads to serious problems in the operation of the engine.

The proper conditions for preserving the power unit for periods of long-term downtime are also often ignored.

Structure diagram

MAZ 54329 vehicles were manufactured for special climatic conditions. For northern latitudes, tractors were insulated from the inside and equipped with an additional heater. Double glazing was also installed here.

It turns out that the machine could work even in frosty temperatures of 60 degrees Celsius, if all systems were adjusted correctly. For such temperatures, special rubber was developed that could withstand critical negative temperatures.

The truck is designed for circuit sports racing 5432C. The toxicity of exhaust gases complied with Euro-2 standards.

The cabin is high, the engine works in conjunction with an 8-speed manual transmission. The driver's seat has additional shock absorbers and can be adjusted at will.

The improved model MAZ 54329, released in 1988, became an innovative step in the domestic automotive industry.

Updated version of the tractor unit

It was attached to a wheeled truck and was equipped with a 238 M2 power unit. The engine was V-shaped and had eight cylinders. The engine capacity is 14876 cc. Fuel pumping was carried out using a reduced pressure pump. The car had a five-speed gearbox with additional gears. A total of nine speeds.

The clutch is a double-disc clutch, greatly enhanced by a hydraulic drive. The power unit has a speed control. Filters have indicators that show the level of clogging.
