For all the people posting negative comments.. remember.. they are doing it all with their truck out in the real world...you are doing it from your armchair with a keyboard...
This car is a copy of the famous „Steyr Puch Pinzgauer“. The best military offroad car ever. I drove it 1000 times and I still love this car. Greetings from the Austrian Mountains! 🇦🇹🏔🏔🛶🍺🥨🐺🇦🇹
Kanon Fed video ! Great video ! My friend & I talk about the same trip, but the other way around, and also "only" in a old Swedish Land Rover. Dk. to Dk.
We both drive 2 wheel offroad too, and it actually was our initial plan to stick a dirtbike on the back, but we found out that we would cross the weightlimit :-(
You guys would be screwed without that winch! Nice video. You guys should plan a trip to Argentina, it's an incredible country of diverse beauty. Greetings from Argentina
I remember one time a few years ago me and my dad went offroading in his 07 FJ Cruiser & we got stuck in a deep snow patch & there was nowhere to hook the winch up to pull us out. Thankfully another offroader in a pickup truck wasn't too far behind us & lent us his shovel to help dig us out. Winches don't always help but they do come in handy.
Well I've seen a supposedly 3,5ton vw lt45 loaded tons over its "limit", bear in mind it is as name suggests 4,5ton design anyway. I wouldn't worry too much about it as long as the vehicle can safely carry it, it's not like even lorries get weighed every day (they should be checked more often though) Just put the bike on, you can always remove it if being asked to.
Thanks for the great share! How do you compare the Volvo TGB13 with a similar Pinzgauer, 718K for example. They seems very similar to me in size and capacity.
Exactly. These types of units are amazing, just as long as they keep on rolling and don't require some roadside assistance where the rubber meets the road or under the bonnet to keep them ponies moving or other stuff that can bring you to a grinding halt. Having said that, what an amazing machine. And the sound of that motor is music to my ears.
+Bill Blinky it's fairly simple and the parts are a lot lighter than for trucks/semis :-) a complete wheel weighs 56kg so I can actually lift the spare on to the back myself :-) its not bigger than a Land Rover 130 :-)
Nice truck. wonder what it takes to get one here in the states. I'm in the market for a nice RV thats not too big, that can go almost anywhere & can be parked pretty much anywhere within legal limits. Volvos are pretty reliable from what I'm told & safe to. What kind of MPG do you get out of it & whats the top speed?
spacemonkey: I know that there are a few of them in the states, but it might be easier to find one in Sweden and import it yourself..? we average about 12L/100km or 8 km/l, I think that's okay :-) top speed is 100, but due to the low gearing it's at 5200 rpm! so reasonable cruising speed is about 75 kmh...
A very cool rig you have and it hauls the kitchen sink in style. How much of your trip was on highways vs. trails? I like the volvo 6x6 it looks very capable. I didn't think you were going to make it through some of the deep mud, but it went nicely.
Amazing travel and wheeling guys, just one small thing, that thing is a diesel truck? Anyway I think that offers a nice overland experience for elders ;)
Jhon Joffre '88 i think, 6 cylinder without turbo, slow as a turtle, but rock solid 🙂 last year we drove to Africa, it used 0,5l oil in 15.500km and i think the engine has run over 500.000 in total 😎
Raredog depends of the year, due is a MB I might able to give you something that you gonna love. (Quick reference I am an overlander as you but I wheel on a Jeep) anyway, I work for a company that sponsor some vehicles like yours. And I think I can manage for they send you a brand new ECM with an special tuned software that will increase dramatically your fuel mileage, HP and trq. The only thing you would have to do is add the stickers on the sides of your rig. (It’s not final, but if you are interested let me know)
Jhon Joffre that sounds really nice of you, but this one is too old to have any kind of ecm, so i think we are stuck with the 113hp 🙂 its from a Mercedes 300d w124 We used to overland in a Suzuki Samurai 😀
Very common for people in North parts of Europe to have stoic facial expressions. When I was in Finland and Sweden, it was like walking around in zombie land. Nobody seemed happy
Do you really need more than a place to cook a meal and to sleep? :P For a camper conversion, I would personally look at those C304's with a box on the back. Ex-ambulances or radio-stations I believe. But the practical thing of this model is that you have direct contact with the living space.
René Gerritsen i would like an M35A2 it has a 14 foot bed or mobile command center in that space you can set up a bunk bed a wood stove and a sink also can carry enough onboard power to run A/C its being a 6x6 with tandem dually axles and an engine that will run off almost all combustible liquid is just a bonus
well you need a tank or a log harvester or an old bv206 they can also swim that should qualify as off-road , it's not like the dessert. BTW it's illegal unless you own the land
what... rae they headed to grandmother's house??? looks like there driving the headlands around the feilds still it's a cool machine. old man must be a drug or people smuggler or worse to get his kids this
That thing is super cool but what's with the zombie stuff? Zombies are as real as God, Santa Claus, the tooth fairy , and the Easter bunny. Oh and unicorns.
Dave Joe - we just thought it looked dull after we painted it :-) And with the zombie theme it makes people laugh and smile - and we get to talk to a lot of strangers :-)
The Swedes really know how to make good quality vehicles.
For all the people posting negative comments.. remember.. they are doing it all with their truck out in the real world...you are doing it from your armchair with a keyboard...
Thanks 🙂
After so many years. this vehicle model is still one of the very best real offroadcars.
Водителю респект.
Great stuff, Love the truck. But hey you have to smile !!!! Doing things like that is fun.. Smile !!!
Dude what is wrong with you and smiling.. This about a vehicle, not about smiles.. Perhaps a wrong vid for you. Such a stupid comment!
Thank you for visiting Poland
Very interesting video and journey...amazing truck, thank you Raredog
Pretty driver 😉
Your a lucky man...
This was the only off-road motorhome video (where they actually drive off-road) I could find on TH-cam! Thanks! :D
thanks :-) when I get the time, I will upload a video from our North African journey, theres is a lot more offroad :-)
Cool! :D
Icenberg666 lot of them from Australia
Классный аппарат! Молодцы! Такой же аппарат хочу! ;)
Awesome trip and the vehicle is bad ass!

Pretty cool Volvo!!

Yes - it is often mistaken for a Pinzgauer - great car :-)
pinzgauer is a copy of volvo
ArtilleryFire Please, give the source for the evidence from what You „said“.
@@wolfganggugelweith8760 after you give me your source for that statement
ArtilleryFire Everybody in the world knows that Sweden copied that car from the Austrians. That’s it. I know that since 40 years. Have a nice evening!
Thanks for sharing what a vacation sweet.santa rosa california
Dang! this thing is epic! looks like it flies above the ground, nothing can stop this amazing thing! AND you can live in it, what's to hate?
Kanon Fed video ! Great video ! My friend & I talk about the same trip, but the other way around, and also "only" in a old Swedish Land Rover. Dk. to Dk.
This was a really cool video! It's awesome to see one of these in action, we don't have many of those trucks over here. Cheers from the USA! :)
traumhaft...
Mu bonito video me gusto mucho.. Desde Puerto Rico.
Oh dude! If you came here to Atlanta people would freak out! (via boat unless that thing is amphibious! LOL)
6X6 with good tires, and short skirt with nice legs!
What else does a man need?
Hell yeah!!
I prefer 2 wheels, but still great! ;) have Good fun and safe trips!
putting a dirtbike on top would make it my dreamvehicle ;)
We both drive 2 wheel offroad too, and it actually was our initial plan to stick a dirtbike on the back, but we found out that we would cross the weightlimit :-(
MrMadmale вот этотноги и лебедки не нужно
great vedeo and nice veichle for of road
Он может на много больше 💪
I love this truck have you converted the inside the a camper? Can you show a video of the inside features of the Volvo?
ОФИГЕННО!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
一辆经典的战车❤
Sikken en fed tur ,,, jeg er misundelig på den Volvo ,,, men jeg er jo også gammel militær mand ,, 😁👍👍👍
You guys would be screwed without that winch! Nice video.
You guys should plan a trip to Argentina, it's an incredible country of diverse beauty.
Greetings from Argentina
Tulsatom Bob siempre los argentinos destacan que son argentinos y demuestran un patriotismo un poco rancio. No sean pueblerinos, coño.
yea just be careful with your license plate. you don't wanna end up like the top gear guy :D
Argentine people are great !
yeah.. great at throwing rocks :D

coo!!! give us a tour inside pls
You guys should be smiling more in the video.Were you having a fight?
+Mike Barlow - no, but we will try to remember it :-)
Dude, they are from Denmark,its forbidden to laugh there.
+Mike Barlow Do you really think that girl wants to be there? Like come on...
smiling is banned in scandinavia!
skwee igelkott Yeah, and it`s our goverments fault
Урал рулит!
Sano muuta!
Thanks for the great share! How do you compare the Volvo TGB13 with a similar Pinzgauer, 718K for example. They seems very similar to me in size and capacity.
pinz
Do you have a video showing in the inside and deacription of this Volvo
Judging from the sound, these must be substatially better powered than the Pinzgauers.
pepper669 - it's a 3l diesel with 113 hp, so it's no rocket :-)
how do you change a tire on it 😮 siiiick some l.e.d . light bars and a rack and perfect 👌
Exactly. These types of units are amazing, just as long as they keep on rolling and don't require some roadside assistance where the rubber meets the road or under the bonnet to keep them ponies moving or other stuff that can bring you to a grinding halt.
Having said that, what an amazing machine. And the sound of that motor is music to my ears.
That I6 Volvo B30 is immortal... And it loves gas and has the sweetest sound.
+Bill Blinky

Nice rig
harika 😀
Super
You guys should do the panamerican!
Затащил девушку в такие дебри. Респект бро!)
Awesome vehicle never heard or see it before this post. I would like to know what's the milage like. Is it a surplus military vehicle or commercial?
Thanks -it is from the Swedish Army and has done about 120.000 kms :-)
Very cool
Hi, thank you for this awesome video!! Is it expensive to maintain this beast?
Thank you very much🙂
Actually not, it has been very reliable, mostly minor problems like broken wires, fuses and a few bolts🙂
wow mantaf bro
EXCELENTE VIDEO, MEJOR CAMIÓN, (LASTIMA QUE EN ARGENTINA, NO TENEMOS ESAS MAQUINAS). SALUDOS

nice truk n cool chanel pixx sheriff)
dejlig tur, flotte billeder,
Måske put et web-link på videoen i ny og næ for mere information?

What's the real world price tag on one of those as a functioning surplus vehicle?
In Sweden they go for around 80k Swedish krona or 9k usd.
1:34 Traffic light in the forest)))
Haha :-) Might have been better with the camera on the outside!
awesome : ]
That truck makes some of the "roads" look easy compared to big mouth stock comments would find out if they tried.
Nice
Where is this place ? thank you.
Hi there !
I drove one of these when I was in the swedish army 1986-1987.
Do you have the original engine ?
It’s rather thirsty , or ? 😬
Åke Pettersson cool🙂
No, it now has a Mercedes 300d - the b30 is great, but yes, rather thirsty 😲
name of music starts after 4:30 ?
Cool :)
You got a set of chains mate for that terrain
Smile.
Finally we got to edit the footage from Africa, please see it here: :-)

Amazing travel and wheeling guys, just one small thing, that thing is a diesel truck? Anyway I think that offers a nice overland experience for elders ;)
Jhon Joffre Yes its fitted with a 3.0 Mercedes diesel engine 🙂
I think we'll need a small ladder when we get old 😝
Raredog what year is the engine?
Jhon Joffre '88 i think, 6 cylinder without turbo, slow as a turtle, but rock solid 🙂 last year we drove to Africa, it used 0,5l oil in 15.500km and i think the engine has run over 500.000 in total 😎

We used to overland in a Suzuki Samurai 😀
Very common for people in North parts of Europe to have stoic facial expressions. When I was in Finland and Sweden, it was like walking around in zombie land. Nobody seemed happy
how much this truck's price?
it is such a nice ride, Excellent.. I would like to have a truck like that one, take my GF and hit the road!!! OH nice truck by the way!!!
how reliable is that Volvo?
Ser riktigt trevligt ut :)
is it possible to attach a dirt bike at back.
it was actually our initial plan, but we found out that we would cross the 3500 kg weight limit...
Incident construct blood spot hard softly respectively.
Wow. What was the fuel bill?
Not too bad 12l/100km or 8 km/l - i think that's ok, considering the age and the weight 🙂
Which vehicle is it ... Volvo or kamaz or Tetra or ... ?
why do you cross across jungle roads?
why don't you try to travel around Malaysia jungle! hi there iam from Malaysia!
Mohd firuz ali palm trees jungle. Lol
Mohd firuz ali ah i mean palm plantation jungle.. 😂
Deutchland?
멋지긴한데요4륜구동이래야눈길도안전하고모래밭산길도편안한맘으로여행을.!
Nice rig... I don't think you would ever need to use that winch strapped on the front!
actually we also thought that before we bought it, but this winter in Spain we ended in a ditch in a snowstorm - and we were glad to have it :-)
Too true... Better to always have a backup plan!
that looks cramped you living space
Do you really need more than a place to cook a meal and to sleep? :P

Это называется: почувствуйте разницу.
Good video.
(Turn off the music so we can hear the motor and outside)
I want one
are these model amphibious vehicle?
Adam Firdaus Bin Zainuddin - unfortunately not, but there were actually 2 prototypes built, would love one of those :-)
Raredog thanks for da info 😊👍
didnt find any offroading actually..
Real offroad is here /watch?v=d8kS-BEKt9I - the same plases in Russia near Suomi border. Ladoga trophy Sherp kockpit camera.
Correct title: Logging roading
well you need a tank or a log harvester or an old bv206 they can also swim that should qualify as off-road , it's not like the dessert. BTW it's illegal unless you own the land

It looks cool for sure and I guess people are into zombies these days. You must have a lot of fun in it.
how did unicorns make it onto that list?
