They're a great truck - as long as you mod the circlip in the transfer case to stop if falling out( voiding your warranty), extend and replace the breather to stop it blowing seals, and re-engineer the transfer case mounts to stop it flopping around, and if the diff locker computer actually engages the diff locks... read unsealed 4x4 issue 57 for a honest review after 5 years of ownership.
david attenborough of 4WD's
closertothetruth was just about to say the same mate haha own it
That was exactly what I thought when I started watching
That's offensive to Andrew
Was just about to comment that
We're here in the remote Australian desert..... spying the elusive Iveco Daily 4x4. This young rock crawler has swallowed a middle aged white human and is now on the lookout for a watering hole.
So happy that you've added the word "drive" to the intro.
The gripe about getting in and out of the vehicle is funny since the excersize would actually make you healthy in the long run and that is priceless.
Good review, keep this stuff coming for sure. I love seeing something other than a 79 series kitted out!
I would buy an Iveco Daily 4x4 instead of a new Land Rover Defender any day!
Daily transmissions seem feeble with some known upgrades with reliability possibly inspired by Land Rover? Won't exchange my Unimog for one any time soon but I am looking at acquiring another crusty Defender!
Even the trysty Unimog isn't exempt from the odd issue. I have driven a U500 regularly and more recently a U1400 and they had both experienced issues. However, Unimogs are the ultimate workhosrse I agree. The Daily is for a different market sector and given the choice of a new Defender (Soon to be known as a Defuncter when those 85 ECU's start playing up) or a Daily then the Daily gets the order. Old Defender's would also win before buying a new one subject to the job needs.
@@JonDingle Agreed, but the only issues I have had in the extreme wilds with my 22 year old Unimog have been a fractured oil breather banjo bolt (fixed with a homemade wooden plug) and need for looking out for fretting of wires and pneumatic pipes. Apart from that, the thing is more reliable than your heartbeat especially when tackling deep river crossings or ludicrous blizzards . I've had no hub gear overheating or oil migration issues even on 900 km motorway thrash . Now building my second Unimog camper after 5 happy years of the first. I don't think new Iveco residual values will equate either with nil depreciating old Unimogs or ever appreciating proper Defenders.
they are Fiat under another name.
The Daily looks a bit more comparable to a Unimog than a landcruiser - without being at all comparable to a Unimog !
I'm not even sure why Land Rover gets a mention here. Farmers toys need to stay on the farm.
Another incredible quality review. Thank you Andrew.
I was really hoping you would go for this one... Thanks for your review, now I want one!
Made a trip through Russia with the old modell in 2003 and crossed the Canning Stock Route directly after my trip through Russia. I always loved the vehicle, with the new engine and the two life axles, this is one of the best offroad vehicles in this size you can get! Even if my heart still beats for Land Cruiser ;-)
Iveco it's one of the best trucks builders., nice review
Really good review Andrew. I trust your opinion more than anyone else's when it comes to 4x4 vehicles. The shots using the drone is a treat when done properly and you sir, are the best at integrating those shots at just the right times.
Man you are king,I’m really glad to watch you.Thanks.
Saw one of these fully kitted out in Tassie just on the weekend. Does look like a weapon of a vehicle. Had Queensland plates and looked setup for touring.
Yes please, one of those with a motorhome body on the back would do us nicely. Now all I need to do is win Lotto.
Great video Andrew. Good to see your videos back on track with what we all enjoy.
Ive always said, if those magic numbers come up, this would be very high on my list of vehicles to buy!! Small enough for most areas but a great living space for the global tour. Extremely capable for the type of trips I would take!!!
Just 2 extra steps into the cabin, that's 160 extra activity to burn off the cocacola calories.
Andrew doesn't look like the calories from CocaCola are anything extra. All that sugar might not shorten his life more than a lion. Or elephant for that matter.
Very interesting vehicle, thanks to Iveco or whoever let you test this truck, great job Andrew the review and editing with all detailed information left nothing to wish for.
This is exactly the video test of this vehicle I wanted to watch. Thank you for making it.
Can only improve as it evolves. Glad to see you coming across so enthusiastic in your new adopted Country.
I know you dont want to build one but everybody else would love to see you in a Iveco. These are such a great platform for an around Australia tourer.
Wow
😯
It’s effing beautiful.
Thanks for sharing, Andrew. Nice opening review.
This guys charisma would sell me a Fiat Multipla.
As the owner of a Fiat Punto, I would suggest that would be a bad time. Especially if you get a DualLogic transmission.
IVECO is a FIAT really.A few people got them in Africa. Fell apart within a couple of years.
@@ridgedogb139 german army trucks are iveco, the iveco lince lvm is owned by all army from uk to germany.
This iveco is proved from iraq, afganistan, somalia libano wars
Hahahaha
Ridgedog........hate to tell you mate, but a Ferrari is also a Fiat, Fiat own Ferrari, and anybody who's worked in the automotive industry will know that many manufacturers share common monocoques and most models are available from different manufacturers with minor badge engineering changes, case in point a Nissan NP 200 Ute/pickup is actually a Renault, shares the same dash, interior doors trim as a Renault Sandero
awesome video, wonderful coverage, you picked every nook an cranny of that Iveco, it really is smashing vehicle, it just does what ever you ask it in spades it seems, little rough on the ride but its a truck not an suv. just imagine if that an a DAF had a kid... lol.
I like where this is going. You also keep in mind you are comparing a stick unloaded truck to your highly modified cruiser. Some mods and weight and that truck would be a dream tourer.
Enjoying Your opportunity with theses type of videos thanks from Tx
Thanks for an excellent review Andrew....
I certainly hope your next build is an Iveco. They are a weapon off road while still letting you build the truck in the overland fashion that you generally do.
G'day Andrew, All I can say is you do get used to it after about a week, no matter the number of times you get in & out, you adapt to the
beast. We did with our HINO 4X4 which has a working payload of 5000 Kg & a larger beast to the Iveco, the only addition I made was the addition of a third step similar to a Mercedes that folds up in rough terrain mate, I don't think you would be disappointed with the Iveco considering your work & long term needs.
The Landcruiser sized vehicles are all fun & easy to drive & you can camp for a week or two alright but for full time living or really extended living & working from (as in your case) you do need the real thing, not a weekly warrior.
Safe Travels Mate, Steve.
@@zenmachine50 Yes you are correct on that point, However, you missed the point of the test as Andrew is considering upsizing his next rig he will build so he has the room to sit & edit his work as he goes & also a more comfortable
setup for when his wife Gwen accompanies him. Speaking from my own experiance with the HINO you fold back
the air ride seats armrest, step through into the pod you have your dinette, fully equiped kitchen then on to the
seperate bedroom & finally to the full ensuite bathroom. Sorry, I left out the fully airconditioned & the seperate
washer & dryer combo. You can also park in most places a Landcruiser goes & we only setup our outside amenities
when we are stopping for more than 2 days to a month, but for just the night there is no setup no foldups no popups
& no slide outs, were just at Home.
That actually means Andrew is getting old... take 10 years of him and he would not complain about it. It's like old people modifying their bath tubs so they don't have to climb in and out...
Pretty sure ANdrew is kidding with the exaggeration....
I was thinking the same thing. There has to be a mod to make the steps easier for Andrew's short-ish legs :)
Iveco and safe travels are rarely used in the same sentence ! I really wouldn’t take one of these things somewhere where my life depended on it.
My 20 year old Toyota gets me out into the bush very nicely thank you and its paid for and does not need roadside assist. Getting out and enjoying the peace and quiet of the bush is so special. I think weekend in the bush with Andrew would wear my ears out
It would be a pretty average review if he didn't say anything
What a cool review. New information for me, very interesting. Good job.
That thing is pretty awesome! Front coils would of helped, but probably would cause some limitations in payload. Leafs are good enough for this type of vehicle
Just the test I was looking for, and very, very helpful! I have been considering one of these vehicles for some time. I owned an Oka which required climbing up the wheel hubs to get into and out of, so I understand that aspect of daily use only too well. Hopefully, this unit would be considerably more reliable! Thanks for a great review. Totsiens!
Looks lveco have now gone to lFS on these trucks, a backward move in my eyes.
Good point Andrew!...Im also in and out of my vehicle 30-40 times a day...and that's just to get a fresh beer.
Thank you very much for the review. Good job.
Love the look of them and the performance too, but out of my price range. On top of that I think getting parts would be an issue, especially if you’re anywhere remotely remote.
I think an Isuzu equivalent may be easier to get parts for, but I really don’t know. Perhaps with a lottery win, I might consider the Iveco. 😃
Bunch of SA expats having fun in Aus. Proud of you guys! Regards from Orania
Really appreciate your work
Nice presentation. Very nice. Thank you very much, Andrew!
This was a brilliant documentary.
Really.
And I was also looking for someone who explained it so well.
Well done!!
Thankyou!
My mate has an Iveco and parts can be expensive and hard to get depending where you are sometimes
Great no BS review!
I appreciate your candid appraisal of a vehicle which you obviously like but doesn’t really tick all of your boxes. If I were buying such a vehicle your comments would be very helpful. Once again very professional, very enjoyable, well produced program, best regards and thanks. Bill Westley
It may be different in Australia; the UK Iveco Daily 4x4 has two two-speed transfer boxes and a six-speed plus reverse gearbox with a total of 24 forward 4 reverse gears.
18/4=4.5
That's a lot of backlash!
Very refreshing and clearly unbiased review.
A niche product that you would really have to need to want. Priced out of range of the everyday worker as it won’t fulfil a daily driver role.
If mining company’s buy them and they come to auction in a few years, then it might work as a exploration toy.
How unstoppable it must feel.
Mind you if you did get badly stuck, you would need a hell of a vehicle to un stuck you.
SLADE330 is it really priced out of the everyday worker. A lot of the 79 cruisers you see would be 120-130k cars
MaCcAM40a3.
expensive as in it’s a one purpose vehicle.
If you buy a 100k land cruiser at least it can be your daily driver and family car. The wife can still pick up the kids and do the shopping.
This one purpose vehicle, a toy if you wish. Obviously I don’t mean it as the vehicle itself is a toy, far from it.
You would need a big disposable income to have this plus a family car. Some can, but I’m talking about the average working family.
Maintenance costs and fuel would be through the roof too
Add a Nice 'Receiver Type Winch' to The Front' and Back ' Gas Adustable Front Shocks _Air Bags Out Back' _ Now You've Got a All Purpose Comfortable 'Road n' Off Road Truck!😏👍🌏🌍🌎✌
I own a 4x4 Daily and I drive it around town, can park in a normal car space in the open. No it can't go in under ground parking or through a drive through that just means it helps with the diet lol.
@@SLADE330
The Iveco was impressive.Awesome content as always.Thanks for sharing and taking us along
Great review with excellent information! Everyone will have their view on which truck / vehicle they wish to use... Fortunately Pure Offroad RV can build a light weight motorhome body on whatever you want... Especially for your New Iveco Daily 4x4!!
I have the 2018 IVECO Daily in the 3ltr and have been driving it hard for 12 months, absolutely no problems I love it. If I spent a lot of time in soft sand the 4x4 would be hard to stop.
How repair cost
5:27 Oh look, it's got one of those light-weight 'get you home' type spare wheels :)))))
Good to see that your cameras have improved✌️✌️✌️
Andrew this looks like a hugely popular video, more of these please.
Having driven a few, also the 2.3 no power model, this is generally a good off road capable vehicle...it's crash ratings are probably better than a 70 series too.
Really nice! I would like to see you driving a Unimog. 😃
Those two are my first option for a Camper!
After 5 years campaigning with Unimog 1 , a 1997 U1250, I'm now building Unimog 2 , a 1996 U2150 3.85 m chassis with CTIS and a Zeppelin box. Nothing made me consider a shiny new Iveco Daily...
Great review, thanks heaps.
Just love the iveco daily,❤️💛,just love it to bits❤️💛
I know this guy from our common Land Rover Defender days. Swapped out his Defender for a Daily 4x4. Had a bucket load of problems, but he was extremely inventive and came up with all sorts of work arounds to get it more reliable. Iveco Australia don't come out covered in glory whatsoever. Do a google for GoingBush and Iveco and you'll find his blog.
yer there no denying how good Don is with these trucks, he's done a bit of work to mine 👍
Mr whingy you mean......
Haha, being an Ex-landy owner(I still have mine), this Iveco repairings in the bush won’t be any problem for him...;-)))))
@@nathanruscoe4463 it would have been nice if Iveco took some of Don and Marcus ideas on board and improved the SCAM Daily rather than dropping it for the new Iveco model with independent front end, single reduction low range, significantly reduct gradient ability and more ability reducing changes. :-(
That said, issues aside Don still says the Daily is the most capable 4x4 of this nature ever made. Not perfect without a host of fixes, but impressive abilities.
BRILLIANT! Really really good! 😉 great honest review.
please do a build on this!! it looks like such an interesting vehicle for overland!! all the best bwana andrew.
I would love to have one of these here in Brazil. Its the perfect daily driver in a big city like São Paulo lol. Andrew great review and I was very excited about the possibility of you owning one, but I agree with you, comfort and practicality in first place. Have a good journey finding a substitute for your beloved troopy!
Absolutely loved this video. The weird thing is I was just having a chat with my friend who is over on holiday in Oz right now. I was saying how I loved the Daily 4x4 and then 30 minutes later up comes this video in my newsfeed. Oddly enough despite him being a Patrion of yours, he had not seen the video. Hopefully this has put an end to his Sprinter plans and he gets a Daily instead!
I like the sprinter 4x4 but haven't seen enough offload to trust it's capabilities....
@@offroadingfoz another friend bought a 2wd Sprinter a few weeks back. He is converting it into a camper. Not so much for offroading or anything, but for a bit of comfort when he is mountain biking etc. Ive not seen it yet, but looking forward to it. A group of us are camping in 2 weeks time so hopefully he brings the van instead of his Defender 90, then I can bring my bus instead of my Disco. Its cold here in Ireland at this time of year.
I like the Sprinter 4x4 very much. Not as hard core off road as this, but is that your friend's priority? If its comfort and versatility, I think the Sprinter may be better. I'll be testing one in the US in July.
If you permit, just take a look at my last video's from the Pyrenees. I have a shortened Oberaigner Sprinter with permanent 4x4, good reduction and 3 diff locks. Before that I had a Discovery 4 and therefor a Discovery 2. My Sprinter does better than the Disco2, but just a bit less good than the Disco 4. The Disco 4 had a superb traction control, the short Sprinter lacks that. The Sprinter is multifunctional, good & fast on roads, has a very short turning radius and is good for overlanding. It is not for technical trials and it feels more scary when tilting sideways.
@@4x4overlandSprinter I will certainly have a look and sub to your channel also, gotta help each other out! We visited the Pyrenees in 2017, it was our first ever trip abroad. We only created Donegal Overlanding the year before because I wanted to make friends who liked camping with 4x4s and there was nothing overland related in Ireland. I've not even finished the series yet, I still have two more episodes to do. In the last video the terrain was quite rough, I doubt a Sprinter would have got down it. We were following a road book from a French guy, the company is called Vibraction.
I’d love the Iveco ah well I’m waiting for a lotto win
Had a feeling this might be the direction you went, cool!
I love it as a overlander road tripper adventurer, biest convert back into a sleeping amd living and cooking are but ya still got loads of room for tools and storage it is Great cozy, would be awesome
The proper review appears to be in the comments section. Thanks past iveco owners for the real review!
I do so agree. Only past owners can present the truth about living with a vehicle. Something that's impossible in most reviews when we have the vehicle for no more than a few days.
One of this and never look back, just drive
What a great unbiased video, just one thing regarding your criticism of getting in and out, I drive a 5 ton truck around for my job, some days I can be in and out 50 times per day, honestly after the first 2 days you don't even think about it. Trust me, it becomes second nature....
Great review thanks. 👍
Obviously the wade depth is wrong. Its 66 cms not 660cms. Is this a cheaper Unimog? It might look a bit similar, but no. The Mog is in a different class altogether. If the Unimog is a rocket-propelled grenade, then the Iveco is a pea-shooter.
Iveco daily = van
Unimog = tractor
Why even mention the Unimog?
Just don’t mention the electrical or suspension issues that appear on every iveco 4x4.....
@@lIlIlIlIlIlIlIlIlI Because dozens of comments are asking about it.
Probably the only time the words 'Unimog' & 'Rocket Propelled' have been in the same sentence.
The people comparing them are probably the same ones saying they knew this would be your next truck, despite clearly saying it won't be in the video..
Interesting. I think I like Earthcruiser better though.
What an awesome rig! I wish we could get these in the states!
Best thing that could happen to many people would be getting in and out 40-50 times a day. A go anywhere camper that keeps you in shape. I like it.
Italian military been using these for quite a few years, just like the Mercedes Sprinter 4x4 used by the Swiss, Austrian and German militaries, Mountain search & rescue, police not including forestry departments as well as general utilities.
US military used Iveco/dodge/Renault variants on the European bases, even fully fitted motorhome is still 1/3rd the cost of a FORD F450 Overlander conversion, and then having crawler gears.! A perfect BUG OUT vehicle.!
When was the last time the Italian Army won a War?? The Italian Army has just reduced their chances of winning any future War, by buying Iveco 4x4's.
The Italian Army buys Iveco 4x4 simply because by doing so, they're supporting Italian and European industry, not because they're the best off-road 4WD.
D375
I don’t want to divert, but when was the last time any country won a war...?? Last war I know that there was an actual winner was the ‘67 war of Israel, before that was WWII, then go back to the Boer War and then 1776 independence war which was followed by the Spanish war, everything up today after ‘67 was settled or abandoned with no clear winner, and as all wars there’s never a winner due to the human cost not including the financial detriment.
But that’s enough of the war thing, but back to your Italians buying Italian, Britain bought landrovers, Germany France Austria Switzerland Holland Belgium Australia use Mercedes G wagons and the SAS & SBS services of the UK. The US used Humvees, Japan made there own version of the Humvee (Toyota) very similar just better, so meaning all countries will usually purchase their own country made vehicles due the the reasons you stated, besides the Iveco is a good vehicle due to the decent engineering of the transfer cases, axels and gearboxes, the engine is a generic PSA block used by various manufacturers, reliability is pretty good considering although I would’ve used a VM Motor, which is Italian so patriotic is still there but the robustness and reliability is outstanding with excellent power.
Land Rover made the UK military defender which actually shared none of the specifications of the civilian sibling, chassis, axels, electrics, but it was still unreliable like it’s civilian sibling...
@@user-kx6yx1ny1x uhmm let think ww1? The last time we win a war maybe open a book where I doesn't write on top Anglo wars propaganda is nice sometimes..
"I can't tell you if we win the next war, I can only tell you that we have only lost ww2 of so many dirty wars"

Thanks for this review. I have always wanted a huge over landing vehicle and this really helped me weigh out the pros and cons. I appreciate your videos. Keep them coming.
Stunning! Thanks.
About 3 months back you were looking into the 6x6 landcruiser option to which I thought was an interesting proposition. I made the suggestion to have a good look at an Iveco daily as they(in my opinion) are superior in comparison for an over land vehicle, all things considered. I'm very pleased you've had a drive and clearly 'you know you want one' that smile was constant behind the wheel, can't say the same with the 79 series. It's almost like toyota gave you half the vehicle but charged full price to which you then 'altered, improved, completed, added' your wants and needs to. The Iveco should be your next trade, you'll be a happy and a slightly fitter individual if you do. Great video as always, love your work.
While in military service in the early 80's, I owned and drove a Fiat Campagnola. It was a very reliable vehicle and we did lots of crazy offroad drives with it. Fiat and Iveco have very good engines, the rest is just as other cars/trucks, they need higher maintenance, if used hard.
There's no comparison between the old, reliable Fiats, and the new, unreliable Iveco with its multitude of design/strength issues.
Iveco is a company formed from an agglomeration of 5 Italian companies, and the tiny little 3 litre Iveco engine is notorious for electrical problems.
@@user-kx6yx1ny1x We had a company FIAT Doblo, did over 200.000km in one year, no problems at all. Most European campers have Fiat and Iveco engines, because they are reliable. Vans like Doblo Ducato,.. that drive around Europe are made in Turkey by Fiat Murat.
Motolover That was the time when Fiat was good no now .
If the Iveco was more reliable and cheaper to fix with more power from maybe a V6 TD it would have my vote. The LC has proven itself as a much better reliable unit.
Well said.. 👍
The V8 in the LC isn't amazing for reliability though. Even a mediocre engine in the commercial space is going to be at least equal.
Nice review, great use of the drone and how did you get the whole sand dune to yourself :)
I would love one but being a bit older these days the climb in is going to be an ever increasing issue
But the 100k to buy it is the stumbling block to start with
Top video it was so good and informative 👍👍👍
Budget Unimog!?great video!
This will leave a unimaginable on the hwy
I was contemplating one of these until I started looking at long term review.... Which are poor at best. Most issue seem to be with customer support or lack of on Ivecos part.
Great video, we neither vehicles available in Canda. Highly informational & entertaining video, eh! ;)
Thanks Australians !!!....indeed what a great 4x4 Iveco ......terrific truck !!!
Love your videos !!!!!
Great explaining !!!!!!
I will love to visit Australia someday .
What a beautiful Countey .
Love from Germany
Having also driven one offroad, with a camper body as I was debating whether I'd want one as my future global overlander, I have to agree that they're extremely capable vehicles. Not particularly in tight spots with trees, but that's the nature of the vehicle, however it definitely turns better than a 70 series, Patrol etc. so you definitely have a level of confidence with it.
The only issue I can see is the actual licence required to drive it overseas as you're generally issued up to 3500kg GVM when you get your international licence, despite being allowed a much higher weight on an Aussie licence. Luckily I'm an older(ish) fart with a UK licence allowing me to drive a larger vehicle which would appear on the international licence, however it could be an issue at some borders when getting insurance (pretty sure the earth cruiser guys found this out years ago). Still not buying one though, as I imagine the stress levels of driving a vehicle this big, with the steering wheel on the wrong side through any major global city would not be pleasant. Perfect for Oz though.
I owned such an Iveco and i had always mechanical and electronically problems...no reliability at all. Just a toy that will make you crazy....I own now since 2001 two toyota HZJ 78 and HZJ 79....never had any problem and they have more than 300 000 kms.
I like the Iveco too, but have seen a lot of them having all kind of electrical problems. Another drop back is the fact that Iveco is not global brand at all so depending where you want to go there will be no one able to repair it and no parts available too.
@@pascalvanraes382 My iveco has been brilliant consistently reliable, only wear and tear items and the reverse light not working (wiring issue) and it's coming up to 600000km
@@100racer Mine was out of order at 5000 kms, direction broken , after transfer box broken, transmission problems , electronical problems, brake system that doesn't brake anymore, overheating, webasto out of use, injection system defect . the main problem is that my Iveco Daily 4X4 was made with poor materials..seems use poor chinese wiring.Nothing to do with this vehicle...never, but never an Iveco anymore.. mine was just shit and i used around 1000 $ per month to use it.
@@pascalvanraes382 the older ones are Rock solid im talking about before 1998
Excellent review, unlike some that are just PR material interpretations. I believe you made a mistake, it does have 24 forward gears, not 18. It's 2x2x6. And four reverse gears 2x2x1. It seams to me that most of the problems can be solved with mods during the build. Stock 70 series is rather plain, too.
That thing looks amazing and I would buy one in a heartbeat!!!
Better than a landcrusier in every way! Absolutely love it look at the room and ground clearance
How does it compare with the RAM 4x4 which is now available re-engineered to RHD?
I drove a 30 seater bus based on the iveco Daily with the same engine.
Nice, comfortable and easy to drive. But it was a bit underpowered for such a heavy vehicle (7,5 tons).
Awesome video thank you.
Amazing video and vehicle. Thanks Andrew. Probably the best for touring, and doing all the rough stuff throughout the world, and so convenient, but, height wise, totally unsuitable for taking around the bush. Still I don't really now Australia and the bush conditions there, but here in Africa, take some of the less travelled places in Zambia, i.e. Bellpoint Lusemfwa Gorge, Lusenga Plains ..., actually most out-of-the-way, 'overgrown places,' the bush is too low, even a GX80 Cruiser with a roofrack has to take care. As an Overlander though the Iveco looks brilliant.
I love the idea of this, a good compromise between a unimog and defender.
These trucks are awesome you see a alot of them getting around in Melbourne if i was to build a tourer id use one of these as a platform
The manufacturing plant is in Dandenong, I started there today lol
@@Sharkster32 is that on south gippy highway corner of abbots rd
Nah near the corner of the Gippy hwy and Princess Hwy.@@Hazardbone
That single cab is awesome.
Another great vid, and love the Daily 4x4. Did you air down at the powerlines?? The tyres looked hard. I know the Mundaring Powerline track well and would never drive on it with road pressures even in the dry (although I know some people do, but that causes unnecessary track wear and unnecessarily bumpy ride).
I would like to see an offroad test between this Iveco and the smallest Unimog, I think it is the U20, long term reliability of the Unimog range is well known, not sure about the Iveco, but it does look like a highly capable vehicle and ideal for extended overland trips across rough terrain.
That thing needs a LHD variant and some 42" mud terrain tires and delivered to the States.
The Reverend LHD is surely available as IVECO is actually an italian company. The delivery to the U.S. however...but you can import them yourself. Has been done before. But you better be quick because there are some funny new punitive duties coming...
Nice!
Must get one!
Cool choice. Had forgotten about this 4WD.
