This Russian Truck Has an Appropriately Russian Easter Egg

Russia isn’t exactly known for their cars. Most of the ones I’m aware of are either highly utilitarian, boxy trucks and vans, crazy military style off-roaders, or junky sub-compacts held together with bubble gum and spit. But at least one Russian vehicle has a neat trick up its sleeve.

I won’t spoil the surprise for you quite yet, and ask that you simply watch the video below to see what the GAZelle Next has hidden deep within its dashboard information screen:

See, wasn’t that worth it? I can’t think of a more appropriately Russian Easter egg than that one, can you? And go figure that it’s on an 3.5 ton industrial work truck.

In case you happen to have a GAZelle Next at your disposal, here’s the full cheat code to activate the secret mode:

1. Right blinker three times
2. Flash brights twice
3. Pump clutch five times
4. Rev engine and hold at 3,000 RPMs until display changes
