Peterbilt Trucks

I don't know why Americans are so fond of modifying their trucks. This one isn't particularly attractive at all. The visor over the windshield makes the truck looks sleepy or lazy. And the low clearance makes it impractical outside American roads...

It's a good heavy hauler, does well on the interstates, but is not an off-roader like UralAZ, KrAZ, or KamAZ.

When we anthropomorphize trucks we are going to far. And, American trucks don't need to be anywhere other than on American roads.

A bit not in a theme. But consider that all soviet busses were built on the chassis of trucks, then in this stream. In 60th, all busses, brands LAZ, were equipped, by a hatch for stretchers. If necessary, they could become ambuss.

MOD Edit: Adding details:

LAZ - Lvov Automobile Factory (Львівський автомобільний завод), also Lvov Bus Factory.

Yes, uses as tractors of tanks, MLRS 220-мм. There are 2 engines on his, that only to lead it is necessary 40 litres of low-octane petrol. They are gradually taken off from an armament. In Ukraine use the undercarriage of KRAZ, in Russia of undercarriage of BAZ.
