    What a very interesting video Ben. I thoroughly enjoyed see what this vehicle can do. Imagine what else it can do. Thank you Ben :) x

      Glad you enjoyed it, Matt! I had to watch from afar, lol *A

    This has to be your best video yet Ben.
    I really enjoyed that and I can see you did too.
    I've driven a lot of Mercedes commercial trucks and they haven't always been the best in my honest opinion but the Unimog is an entirely different animal. I'd love a go in one of those. That Vario dash is a really interesting concept too.
    The exhaust break I find sometimes on a down grade on a wet road can be too strong and risk locking the drive wheels but the unimogs AWD and off road tyres clearly meant that it wasn't phased one bit.
    Outstanding work Ben.
    Well done!

      Thank you Mark, ah yes you’re familiar with this type of tech, the other thing is, everything was steeper than the cameras portrayed. That’s interesting to hear, the exhaust brake was my favourite feature, I can imagine it’s time and a place. That beast is pretty much unstoppable - I highly recommend you do, it’s unforgettable.

      Wow what an experience. Mr Goose the tree surgeon has an old Unimog near us, bit over the top in Lincolnshire / Norfolk

    This could be a very useful vehicle for bypassing the tourists in the Lake District

    We didn't really see much. Just an old guy giggling at what we've known for 70 years.

      You saw a Unimog on a closed off-road circuit and me enjoying myself and discussing the capabilities - your comment quite simply baffles me, what you were expecting is well anyone’s guess… old 😆

      @@PlanetautoUK off-road? I guess it was off a road. But viewers expect to see some capabilities. Like run over pickled eggs? And giggle. The video is lame.

      @itsruf1 I can’t be any clearer google SMMT test track, it’s not like they’re anything significant - this was Mercedes Benz’s co driver on their approved test route. I avoided the ducks thats what really matters. Watch our latest Grenadier video off-road on a private estate maybe that’s a better fit.

      Your lack of credibility is soooooo evident, we’re happy to watch your videos of off-roading
