The Ukrainian truck manufacturer, Kraz trucks, has manufactured some tough off-road and on-road trucks. One of the first trucks they produced at the factory in Kremenchuck was the KrAZ-255. This was an off-road truck. No one had ever seen such a truck as this one. It had huge tires and it had a huge body. This one truck helped to revitalize the Ukrainian economy following the second world war.
The Kraz trucks became very popular. The next Kraz truck was named the KrAZ-256. This truck was not built for off-road. The company became so popular that it was awarded the Order of Lenin, by the Soviet Union, for their contributions.
In the early 1980"s the Kraz truck company decided to update their models some. Thus, they created the KrAZ-260 and the KrAZ-261. These two models proved more popular than their predecessors. This was followed by the KrAZ-6322, the KrAZ-6501, and the KrAZ-7133H4. The models helped make the Kraz trucks the most popular Ukrainian manufacturer of all time.
Today, after all of the years have past, the Kraz trucks are still known for their reliability. Many people still buy these trucks used simply because they know they can depend on the Ukrainian truck. Not only are they great for their off-road capability they are also known for their ability to tow other large trucks, travel where other trucks have only thought about going, and offer the driver more years of service than any warranty could ever imagine.
