The dimensions of the UAZ “Farmer” body and its general characteristics make it possible to classify this vehicle as a light-duty commercial vehicle aimed at transporting various cargoes. The vehicle has good performance parameters and good driving characteristics, is suitable for agriculture, and is capable of transporting 1.15 tons of cargo and up to seven people. The truck is equipped with a platform with sides and a cabin in two rows. All-wheel drive promotes confident movement on difficult soils and off-road conditions. Let's consider its features and technical parameters.
Description
All modifications, regardless of the size of the UAZ “Farmer” body, are made on a frame-type chassis with two versions of the wheelbase. The cars are equipped with a synchronized gearbox with four or five modes, as well as a two-speed gearbox of the transfer unit. In the standard version, the drive axles are identical to those of the 452 series. On models produced after 2015, Spicer-type units are installed, equipped with a differential lock clutch for rear-wheel drive.
The truck has a four-cylinder engine and a distributor fuel injection system. The engine is liquid cooled and produces 112 horsepower. The operation of a power unit with an injector significantly simplified engine starting, while the car began to consume 20-25% less fuel. Gasoline consumption depends on the type of engine, ranging from 15-17 l/100 km.
Weight and dimensions
Despite its excellent spaciousness, as well as a large number of passenger seats, the UAZ-39094 has relatively compact dimensions:
- body length from front to rear bumper, mm – 4,820;
- width from the edge of the left wheel to the edge of the right, mm – 2,100;
- height from the bottom of the tread to the cabin roof, mm – 2,355.
At the same time, the wheelbase is 2,550 mm, ground clearance is 220 mm.
Thanks to this, as well as the four-wheel drive, this vehicle is perfect for moving through the countryside, fields and country roads covered with ruts from tractors and KamAZ trucks.
If necessary, the UAZ-39094 can even ford through small rivers, but the depth should not exceed 50 cm.

Peculiarities
The volume of the fuel tank is not affected by the size of the UAZ “Farmer” body; the tank capacity is 50 liters. In this regard, an additional capacity of 27 liters is installed on board. Design features determine the filling capacity of the tanks of the modification in question is 2-3 liters less than the declared value. Fuel is supplied using a mechanical or electric pump. The system has a filter, and on injection models there is a gasoline vapor trap.
The electrical circuit on all versions of the trucks is identical. It is built using a single-wire system, the negative element is the machine body. The voltage sources are a battery and an alternating current generator equipped with a rectifier. Electrical circuits are protected from short circuits by mounting devices with fuses, as well as a reusable bimetallic insert. Additional equipment can be equipped with separate protective devices mounted in the internal part of the unit.
Refill tanks
The vehicle in question can only be operated if the required volumes of refueling tanks are available inside the engine. Their number is as follows:
- windshield washer reservoir, l – 2;
- brake hydraulics, l – 0.5;
- shock absorbers, l – 0.3 (each);
- engine lubrication, l – 5.8 (including oil cooler, as well as cleaning filter);
- gearbox, l – 1;
- transfer case, l – 0.7;
- axles (rear and front), l – 0.8;
- steering gear (case), l – 0.25;
- clutch drive, hydraulic, l – 0.18;
- additional fuel tank, l – 30.
The number of refueling containers that are filled into a car may decrease over time for various reasons.
There are certain consumption standards, they are calculated for every 100 liters of fuel:
- motor oil, l – 2.2;
- transmission lubricant, l – 0.2;
- special oil, l – 0.05;
- plate grease, kg – 0.2.
Characteristics of the UAZ-39094 “Farmer” and body dimensions
The cargo-passenger version is made on the basis of a steel frame with an enlarged wheelbase. The truck is equipped with a solid metal cabin that can accommodate five people. Entrance is through three hinged doors. The body is located directly behind the cabin and has arches for mounting an awning. The platform floor is made of wood.
Technical parameters and dimensions:

The characteristics of the loading platform make it possible to mount devices for road or utility work. Load capacity indicator - 0.7 tons.
External tuning
It is not advisable to leave the side body unchanged, since this area can be used more productively. The best solution is to make an insulated booth with an expeditionary roof rack. To carry out external tuning of a UAZ Farmer with your own hands, all you need is a set of tools that are found in every garage.
To work you will need:
- roulette;
- Bulgarian;
- welding machine;
- screwdrivers;
- spanners;
- electric drill;
- paint brush;
- profile pipe 100x50 mm;
- primer;
- automotive enamel.
The frame of the change house is made of profile pipes. At the same time, a ladder and an expeditionary trunk with sides are made. After welding the frame to the frame, it is cleaned of rust, scale and dirt. Metal should be painted with UV-resistant paint.
The frame can be upholstered with waterproof plywood filled with basalt wool or with ready-made façade sandwich panels. The outside of the body is painted in a solid green color or a camouflage pattern. Powerful cornering lights are installed on the trunk. Such a change should be recorded in the traffic police.
You can make your car more attractive in the following ways:
- Replace the bumper. Instead of a standard part, a powerful product is installed, equipped with fangs and a winch.
- Carefully trim the wheel arches and cover them with plastic. Install wider BFG Mud-Terrain KM2 wheels 285/75/R16 and cast metal wheels from Off-Road Wheels.
- Install fairings on the door handles, rear view mirrors and cabin. Plastic parts should be painted in advance.
The final stage is finishing the threshold, wings and doors with LED strips.
Model 390995
This modification of the UAZ is a cargo-passenger van that can accommodate seven people and almost half a ton of cargo. The rear seats are folding and can be converted into sleeping bags. The distinctive features of this machine include the ZMZ-409 engine with a power of 112 “horses”. The front axle design includes disc devices equipped with ABS indicators.
Some modifications of this truck used an UMZ carburetor power unit (84 hp). These versions used drum brakes on all wheels without ABS, and the standard cabin equipment included a luggage rack.
Cabin
The car is equipped with a double all-metal spacious cabin with a 5-seater interior layout. On the right passenger side there is an additional door providing easy access to the rear row of seats. This model is not distinguished by its refined exterior and interior, but for a work car it’s just right.
Another advantage of the “Farmer” is the convenient location of the engine - it is located under the cab between the front seats, and is accessible from the cabin. To do this, you just need to lift the protective cover. This solution makes it possible to troubleshoot problems in adverse weather conditions.
Passenger compartment of the UAZ-39094 cabin
In addition, heat emanates from the engine compartment, which provides additional heating in winter. Although, it must be admitted that in summer this advantage turns into a huge disadvantage, because it gets very hot in the cabin.
The driver's workplace leaves a controversial impression. I am sincerely pleased with the presence of an updated steering wheel and a multifunctional steering column switch (turns and headlights are turned on on the left, wipers and windshield washer on the right).
The location of the instrument panel is puzzling - it is located in the middle of the panel! To see the indicators, you literally have to look closely, taking your eyes off the road.

A little history of the creation of the machine
The predecessor of the UAZ Farmer 39094 car is model 3303. It was produced at the Ulyanovsk Automobile Plant starting in 1985. The designers managed to create a light-duty truck with a flatbed body. The car had a 4x4 wheel arrangement. Thanks to this, model 3303 was distinguished by high cross-country ability.
It was put into serial production at the Ulyanovsk Automobile Plant in 1997. The model received a more spacious cabin, with five seats, than the previous car, and an extended wheelbase. The increased dimensions of the cabin of the UAZ 39094 vehicle led to a reduction in the length of the body. This affected the maximum load capacity of the machine.
In 2011, the manufacturer modernized the UAZ 39094. The car was equipped with brakes with an ABS system. To make it easier to control the car, the steering was equipped with a hydraulic booster. To ensure safety, the driver and passenger seats were equipped with seat belts. Based on the UAZ 39094, various modifications have been created that are used in various fields.
In 2022, another modernization of the UAZ 390945 Farmer vehicle took place. The manufacturer has carried out a partial modernization. The driver's seat in the UAZ 390945 car can be adjusted along the longitudinal axis. This allows you to set the parameters of the seat for a driver of any size.
ATTENTION: During the modernization in 2011, the vehicle's power unit was replaced. Older cars had a carburetor four-cylinder engine. Modern models are equipped with an injection power plant with electronic fuel supply. The motor complies with the Euro-4 standard.
Series 33094
The dimensions inside the body of the UAZ “Farmer” of this model, together with a powerful engine, made it possible to increase the load capacity to 1075 kilograms. The cargo-passenger van is driven by a 112-horsepower engine with distributor fuel injection. The maximum speed of the car is 115 km/h. Cooling is carried out using a pump that forcibly pumps refrigerant. The interior heating is connected to a cooling jacket.
Later modifications introduced disc brakes on the front wheels, as well as an ABS system. At the rear there are drum brakes with automatic clearance adjustment. The standard equipment of the truck includes a fuel tank with a volume of 56 liters plus an additional capacity of 27 liters. The tanks are connected to each other by special lines and equipped with liquid quantity meters.
