==== KrAZ-235 ==== {{See main|KrAZ-255}} The KrAZ-255 was developed directly from its predecessor, the [[KrAZ-214]] (produced 1956-1967). Despite being very similar at first glance (both using the same cab, [[Flatbed truck|flatbed]] as well as the suspension), there are few major differences. Firstly, the 255 used new and much more powerful engine - the YaMZ-238 (same used in [[MT-LB]] tracked [[Armoured Personnel Carrier|APC]]), replacing the previously used and sensibly weaker YaAZ-206B which was used in 214. The 255 also featured new and more reliable [[Propulsion transmission|transmission]], the YaMZ-236N, instead of the previously used YaAZ-204. It also featured new headlights (which were now, together with [[turn signals]], located in their own housings mounted on the [[Fender (vehicle)|fenders]]) and, most notably, much wider tires (1300 x 530 x 533 in dimensions), which offered lighter ground pressure and thus, even greater off-road capabilities when compared to its predecessor
