ZIL-130 – copied from US trucks, but more durable

Soviet medium-tonnage trucks GAZ and ZIL are still seen on public roads. Despite the years and gasoline engines that are not particularly economical, they continue to work. Only now they are more in private hands or at enterprises where a truck is needed occasionally. For such people, there is no point in spending large sums on buying new economical models with diesel engines. Soviet trucks can handle short trips a couple of times a week. Now, only the GAZ-53 can be recommended for purchase, because spare parts for it are still being produced. And the ZIL-130, which is considered more reliable, is already more of a rarity.

But there are still similar cars in good condition in our country. And just such a one is in the video of the "Second Automobile Channel". The presenter will tell in detail about the features of this model. At the same time, he will reveal the secret - why Soviet drivers valued the ZIL-130 so much. After all, it only now looks outdated. But earlier, when the model appeared, it surprised with the level of equipment, especially in comparison with the GAZ-53. By the way, this is another argument in favor of buying the latter now - the simpler the design, the easier the car is to service and repair.
