History
The Dacia Pick-Up was derived from the Dacia 1300 and was introduced in 1975. It was known as the Dacia 1302 and was made in three series: the first, with straight rear wings and a small rear window; the second, with corrugated rear wings and a small rear window; and the third, with corrugated rear wings and a full-size rear window.
In 1982, after the 1302 was dropped, the Dacia 1304 single-cab pick-up and drop-side models were introduced, followed by 1307/1309 double cab models in 1992, the 1305, a front-wheel drive version of the pick-up model, in 1994, and a king cab model, in 1995. These model lines were a commercial success and remained in production, and were gradually face lifted and modified, along with the rest of the range, until December 2006.
On the UK market the Pick-Up was known as the One-Ton and, from November 1985, the Shifter.
The vehicle was available with a number of different transmission styles including front wheel drive, rear wheel drive and 4x4.
During its time in production many types of engines were available to power the truck: a 1.3 litre, 1.4 litre, or 1.6 litre petrol engines or 1.9 litre Renault diesel engine.
The Pick-up was the last of the Dacia models to be based on the Renault 12 that made up the majority of the Dacia model range since the late 1960s. They were marketed bearing the new blue logo of the manufacturer after 2003.
The line was eventually discontinued and replaced by Dacia Logan Pick-Up.
