The '''Ural-375''' is a general purpose 4.5 ton 6×6 truck produced at the [[Ural Automotive Plant]] in the [[Russian Soviet Federative Socialist Republic|Russian SFSR]] from 1961 to 1993. The Ural-375 replaced the  [[ZIL-157]] as the standard [[Soviet Army]] truck in 1979, and was replaced by the [[Ural-4320]].

The Ural-375 was used, for example, as a platform for the [[BM-21 Grad]] rocket launcher, as a troop carrier, and as a supply carrier.

The Ural-375 was developed during the 1950s-1960s and used many chassis components from the [[MAZ-200]] truck, the Ural-375 used a 7.0 liter V8 engine, the design of which was based on the 6.0 liter V8 engine from the [[ZIL-130]] truck, and most parts are interchangeable between the truck engines. The increase in volume was achieved by increasing the bore of the cylinders to 108 mm, while the piston stroke of 95 mm was preserved. The engine block between the trucks was the same, as was the crankshafts, with the main difference being the pistons.
