My dad had a round nose Mercedes’ truck back in the 80s he still regrets selling it. The thing was overbuilt and engineered, he wasted a ton of money on spares that he never got to put on the truck because truck never broke.
Fun fact. There is one size above the Unimog. The Zetros. I can not tell which I would prefer. However, I always saw the Unimog as pure Tool. Since I discovered what American Truck lovers to with the Unimog changed my view totally. Now I will get one for myself It is basically the perfect travel vehicle.

I own 3 unimog for my side job I do here in Europe . All Komunal from Germany or Switzerland , basically a all in one extreme machine . I have like 12 attachments and I can do digging , snow plowing (snow turbine), wood cutting fork lift and many more I tow 30 ton with those. I do maintenance and work for locations that can’t be reached with normal machinery and have one with a mini camper cab to be able to stay out for days. Unimogs are my ultimate multipurpose apocalisse machine😂😂😂😂
Jay is such a smooth professional answering all of the barrage of questions without skipping a beat! Incredibly capable and impressive vehicles that are definitely on my bucket list to drive and hopefully own one someday!
Those are not exactly tractors like those with big rear tires just for pulling farming equipment. Unimog means Universal Mobile Gerate (like universal mobile machine), as those older ones had PTOs front and back, some had mounting frame for carried equipment like front loaders or high-lifts etc. Nowadays it's usually all hydraulic driven. But those are as said .. UNIVERSAL. Usually as cab + flatbad , but could be anything from digger, snowblower, scraper, tractor, semi towing trailers or even with mounts to run on rails and pulling train wagons .. anything.
Rode in one once from the Bismark turm down to the commo compound back in the 80s. The german soldiers were going that way so they gave me a lift so I didn't have to walk it. This was up on the mountain outside of Bad Dürkheim.
I saw that exact Unimog in las vegas in the beginning of November!!! I even parked my TJ next to it. It made my TJ look like a little Chihuahua standing next to a Cane Corso 😂😂😂🤣🤣 beautiful Unimog. I was madly in love with it when I saw it and wanted to ask him if we could trade keys.
@@TFLtruck *"most death defying visuals of any off roader ever"* but having both ridden and then driven one by far the most capable vehicle outside of ATV 4 Wheeler and with truly awesome commercial applications as any German would tell you 70 plus Years on now. But yeah my first impression was of a vehicle that would roll over just from going over a stone wrong let alone used as a rock crawler but turned out upon actual use I was totally wrong. Zero interest in the G-Wagon but always amazed that Mercedes-Benz never really marketed this vehicle in North America or even outside Germany to my knowledge ... at least until now anyways. Anyhow people still kick me to curb when I say you don't need much beyond 40 horsepower when dealing with a diesel engine power train product and it was this product that convinced me of that....again only been in continuous commercial production for a *MERE* 70 Years! That's a lot of spare parts and know how! Crazy as it sounds the Toyota Tundra disregarding recent change was right up there for doing everything to include towing...just not putting a back hoe on that obviously let alone all of the other items this vehicle is so famous for. Sad to see this one finally being *"discovered"* here I gotta say...been very entertaining *NOT* to see this so far into your Oh So Serious Channel History..
Thank you for this video, it brought back so many memories of being stationed in Berlin GE. In addition to our military equipment we had German vehicles for city and rural use and of course that included UNIMOGS. We only had the cargo trucks but even those base trucks were marvel of automotive engineering. Thanks again. Oh what kind of jacket is Roman wearing ?
The portal axles are good for ground clearance, and they also have unique suspension that allows for a lot of articulation considering it has solid axles.
Jay Couch is a treasure. We ran into him in the 2019 BAJA XL Rally when I was running with a team from Earthcruiser. Jay was running a big green UNIMOG custom Van body with a roof tent built into it. Great Fun. Love your work!
I worked in Metro de Caracas, from 1989 to 1998, operating and maintaining four 1986 Unimog U1250, 352A engine, double cabin, orange, and bivial system for track maintenance and train towing, 8-speed forward and reverse, 88 to 1 in low, and air locked differentials.
The first one with a backhoe was used by us in the Army. Its called a “see” truck . Has front bucket in it as well. See standing for small equipment excavator
As enlisted I was driving the carmouflage one for German army. I never got stuck on trail even as the instructor led me into a big mud hole used for trainig the battle tank drivers. IIt took me half an hour to pass throu but the truck did it.
would love to own one of these incredible vehicles and overland with it. If I was driving it I would have a hard time giving it back, Great video and keep up the good work 👏
Now I, fully understand how much behind The Curve ball I,was when I, volunteered my self to take a call for bushfire in South Phoenix and the brush truck at this particular station was a Unimog and I had never been inside one let alone driven one. I, did make the few miles to the call and then on the way back, I managed to get the gearbox hung up and had to call in my FUBAR. And the guys at this particular station made sure to remind me of that day very early in my career, but I will say it was fun while I was able to keep it rolling, and I was only a half a mile from the station and getting it back home.
My uncle had the smaller unimogs in Western Canada that had the articulated back where the entire truck was the size of a Tacoma so it was Small BUT the huge wheels meant you had something like 20 inches of ground clearance and fantastic approach and departure angles. You could go on the narrowest overgrown logging roads for fishing n hunting purposes in that. My uncle sold it for a nice profit back in the day even though it had almost 200,000 km or 120,000 miles on it. Unimogs are actually quite useful in Western Canada. Our local Mercedes Dealer has a few in stock in Vancouver! Expensive though!
@@brianb-p6586 some unimogs have an articulated frame. I should know as my uncle had one! Look it up on TH-cam. Unimog makes military vehicles in Germany and you can buy the articulated frames from the factory!
@@brianb-p6586 No! The actual frame WAS articulated with a moving joint where the front and rear set of wheels was on a SEPARATE body/frame! Unimog actually made this type of articulated 4x4 and 6x6 from 1960 to about 2002! Look it up on TH-cam for articulated Unimog!
@DJ Tesseract what I found was that Werner (of Trier, Germany) used Unimog components (cab, engine, transmission, axles) to build an articulated vehicle that they called the "Uniknick". Mercedes didn't build it, it doesn't even use a Unimog frame, and it's not a Unimog, but it is interesting. I can understand how one would think it's a Unimog, since it uses so many Unimog components, and may even have Unimog badges on it. The Uniknicks were built decades ago with Unimog 401 and 406 components (notably cabs)... so they were small.
Andre letting the profanity slip was hilarious. What cool machines. My profanity increases with my nerves, so the video of some of those angles knowing the money put into that machine would have contained more censor beeps lol.
It's basic concept was a mobile generator on wheels with powered tool shafts everywhere. It wasn't meant to be comfortable, or fast, or silent, or luxurious. It was meant to go wherever it was needed, under its own power, and do work there, either standing still and powering other tools, or doing slow moving work. It wasn't meant to go on highways or interstates. That's always been the design philosophy, and it's stayed that way. With the right tools, a small crane on its flatbed it can carry almost any required tool to any location, deposit it there, and power it.
I know a guy that bought a modern unimog for offroad deliveries. The windshield costs $5,000 to replace, and the truck is ~10 feet tall... so he spends a lot of time trimming branches
Concerning the versatility, the name is the program. Unimog is the abbreviation for UNIversal Motor Gerät = universial engine device. The early versions were very much designed with stationary operations in mind, espacially for the agrar an construction sectors.
I drove a Unimog when I was a BLM Firefighter. It had a "creep" feature that allowed me to walk beside it (no driver) and put out spot fires during the "mop up" phase.
@@jminaya90 It's truly insane. Considering a surplus Bundeswehr u1300L for example is around 15k... Even if you'd be trying really hard, and buy the complete Merex and Atlas4x4 gear... It doesn't make any sense.
We drove them in the German military in winter. Unstoppable machines.
I bought a 406 and restored it.
You should visit the Unimog museum in Germany. There’s a test track there that will really show what a Unimog is capable of…
Finally an Unimog on Tfl truck!
Greetings from Germany. 🇩🇪

Love seeing the mogs actually getting used! Amazing machines
Unimogs were common farm vehicles when I was a kid in southern Germany, 1960s. Thought they were just German farm tractors.
they still are...
Those are not exactly tractors like those with big rear tires just for pulling farming equipment.
Unimog means Universal Mobile Gerate (like universal mobile machine), as those older ones had PTOs front and back, some had mounting frame for carried equipment like front loaders or high-lifts etc. Nowadays it's usually all hydraulic driven. But those are as said .. UNIVERSAL.
Usually as cab + flatbad , but could be anything from digger, snowblower, scraper, tractor, semi towing trailers or even with mounts to run on rails and pulling train wagons .. anything.
My family still uses one in Malaysia on a vegetable farm, 1970s 400 series not exactly sure.
exactly why they are so reliable and adaptable
That was their initial intention.
Rode in one once from the Bismark turm down to the commo compound back in the 80s. The german soldiers were going that way so they gave me a lift so I didn't have to walk it. This was up on the mountain outside of Bad Dürkheim.

This will be the best series from tfl! We need an IKE test with it along with the off road!
Where I live these are bought from townships for multipurpose use. Cutting, Transport, Winter Service.
The Mercedes Zetros could be intersting as well. It is very capable off-road but not as tall as the Unimog.
I knew it was gonna be a unimog from the shape of the box
Me too. It is an iconic shape, but no wonder as it is an iconic vehicle.
G wagon in background. For the money, I'll go with the unimog.

We have a man in East Texas that uses one for hay operation and hauling his rectangular large bales…
Now for the fun part: Unimog vs Buhanka on the On X Off-road course at the ranch.
Well I mean if Andre decides to put lockers in the van
Well I mean if Andre decides to put lockers in the van
Impressive. I have no idea what half of those things do or their significance, but these are clearly refined and purpose built machines.
I don't remember them being that expensive when you could get them from Freightliner... But they are a hell of a lot cooler than military surplus.
Wow, I’ve always loved Unimogs!!!
Love Andre in the passenger seat. Not often do you see him like that, I love it.
I instantly recognized the Silhouette due to the distinctive modern boxy Unimog nose.
The best guest on TFL no doubt. Great video!!!
Never heard Andre cuss so much! 😂😂 love it! I want a plethora of MOGS now too 😢
Love hearing from someone so knowledgeable and passionate about what he does. If I was wealthy this is the exact guy I would want to sell me a unimog!

Such an amazing vehicle.
I remember James May raced this truck in a Land Rover Range Rover, it was epic
That was an Oshkosh, but it was still epic
Absolutely awesome video!!
Wow, great video, and unbelievable truck!!!!
I’d make one of those a Mallcrawler to be proud of! Always thought a Unimog with RV in the back would be a fun way to live.
Funny he mentioned a Samurai: I was just thinking his wheels and tires together weigh as much as my old Sami!

Ouch, recently had a flat laminated screen made and fitted to square cab U 2150 similar to this truck for approx 400 Euros in Iceland.
Car & Driver did a road test of a Unimog once in an April issue. They also did tests of a Baldwin Locomotive and the Goodyear Blimp.

Concerning the versatility, the name is the program. Unimog is the abbreviation for UNIversal Motor Gerät = universial engine device. The early versions were very much designed with stationary operations in mind, espacially for the agrar an construction sectors.

Gotta love the unimog
Pretty sure MattsOffatoadRecovery is building their own version of this pretty sweet all of the features this has
Ya, he is doing dual winches, one for rear, one for front (and almost 650k)
I saw a few of these out in the snow. The city spent most of the budget on new bike lanes so plows.
This is my favorite topic and place you cover!!! Couch is the absolute BEST! I would love to work there in a few months when I retire from my LE job.
Have you seen a Brabus Unimog?
just klicked on the video and just from the silhouette im guessing its a Unimog
