- Is the Unimog the perfect snow day truck?
When my cousin had a snow day, I called up @TeamChampagneNinjas to borrow the monster Unimog for a killer surprise. Huge thanks to them and @Ai_design for making this day possible.

What's your dream snow day ride? Huge thanks to @TeamChampagneNinjas and @Ai_Design for making this drive happen!
Probably a 6x6 because who’s going to expect that It’s like The unimog
Ford Rs200
Imagine an uber pulling up in this during a snow store.... Awesome video!
Good ol awd turbo volvo. That's always been the dream!! Would love to see you review a Volvo of some sort
Volvo 240, or something Else rwd:))
You are the BEST uncle He was so happy!
its his cousin not his nephew
haha its ok..hes my cousins kid so its like an uncle cousin?
@@TedwardDrives 2nd cousin. Basically the same as a nephew. I have both, can't tell the difference sometimes
@@TedwardDrives I think it’s first cousin once removed? Family tree naming schemes don’t make sense haha
@@videos44 big deal 😂😂😂
No matter how crappy your day was, a Unimog is guaranteed to bring you a grin and possibly a maniacal laughter as you go over rough terrain, snow, mud, floods, bumps, Priuses and other stuff.
When a car is big in the USA, then it is big 😂
Tf
LOL
Technically its not a car, its a multipurpose vehicle that is used by armies, for rescue, agriculture, utility installation/maintenance......
Mercedes-Benz isn't american
@@TheFrenchDudeThey know that.
If more people were like you, the world would be a much better place hahahaha
also if more people were like the owner of the Mog... I asked him at like 9pm the night before! What a legend.
You, sir, are a legend.
The Unimog is like that girl from high school who's unconventionally attractive
lmaooo 😭
Worldwide facts
An interesting accent.
That's a "big" chick!
... but she had little mustache in the face... 😁...
You already know that if Ted get its hands on a Ford Gt he s gonna take its cousin again :d
I'm gonna spoil this kid
@@TedwardDrives DO IT!
The broken “star” on the steering wheel is messing with my OCD 🤪
Yeah, that bothered me too, I don't let anybody eat in my civic si...
For real
Your cousin seemed like he was having an absolute blast
he was so happy! The original plan was that I'd pick him up from school. He knew that part was happening but was unaware of the vehicle. Then they canceled school! He was so upset and didn't know I'd still show up at the house haha
The long hair looks pretty slick on you!
Sincerely, someone with long hair 😂
Haha thank you
I had no idea he had long hair until this video
When the whole pandemic thing is under control again, I'd love to see you showing off strange and cool vehicles to your friends and family who don't expect it! It's fun seeing how non-car people react to these types of vehicles.
I can’t wait to take some non car lovers out in some seriously fast cars 😂
You know its a good day when Tedward, Doug De Muro, and Manny Khoshbin drop a video on the same day :)
;-; neither of them released videos today
@@danieljamieson7831 I am sure we live in different time zones. In my time zone it was in a single day :)
He's gonna be the biggest car fanatic ever with you as a his uncle
This thing would be kinda good in the zombie apocalypse... (Thanks for all the likes guys, didn t expect it :D )
100%. The bed could fit a few folks who can fight them off with weapons while we drive through town. They'd be high enough off the ground if we had "slow zombies." Fast strong zombies might be an issue.
I was literally thinking why don't the walking dead add this beast in their show that would be so sweet with a mounted 50. Cal
you could just run them over
the local wildlife and forest management bodies drove unimogs when I was a kid, they were amazing. Fire dept had some too.
Giving the younger generation a taste of this is a good way to motivate their interests in the future.
3:00 I love how the head light switch is exactly the same one as in my '91 W124...very cool!
“Here’s a guy in a big truck who thinks he’s in a big truck” That’s just great! 😄👍
I’ve driven the old versions while stationed in West Germany, similar marine diesel ha. These are unstoppable in water and mud crossings too. That one is huge and awesome.
This reminds me of the time my uncle picked me up in an ambulance it was SICK this kid is having the day of his life!
Good job on inspiring youngsters such as myself, I always look forward to seeing new and interesting cars on your channel.
man the way u behaved around ur cousin was just so heartwarming. good to see smiles these days! keep on doing u, ur channel is growing and the content on it is amazing, really
What a great cousin. Love your videos Tedward. Stay safe.
Reminds me of my uncle
He was a mechanic and he owned a large work shop and a volvo fh12 2000 model truck came to him for repairs, i was 15 yo back then and i was and still a huge fan of trucks. He called me and took me on a ride on highway it was my first time being in a truck so excited i loved every bit of it.
He passed away 2 years ago due of liver cancer i miss him he was my best friend.
The Unimog actually is a quite nimble and fast Vehicle if you want it to be that way. It still got a decent power to weight ratio, can climb crazy stuff and is versatile like no other.
There is a reason why in Germany the "Mog" is so widley used in public service. Be it either at a communal, military or emergency services level.
Oh and that vehicle loves to eat offroad for breakfast. Ther is almost no series vehicle which is more offroad capable and versatile than the mog.
Oh man, that thing is awesome. I want to drive one!
This was surely a day he will never forget! A video of you driving something amazing is cool, but giving a kid a day to remember brings me a smile from ear to ear.
In 1998 I passed my bus and coach PSV licence test. The bus company I worked for at the time had these huge Scania coaches that were used as ordinary buses. The first journey was so intimidating as the bus was as big as a house.
It was a semi automatic which meant it had a button instead of a clutch. You could be in say, second gear. Then pre-select third gear, press the floor button and the gear would engage. Took a bit of getting used to but was quite easy after only a short while.
The air brakes are a whole different ball game to regular ones. Featherlight pressure is required till you get used to it.
I didn't know you could handbrake skid a bus/coach till I tried it one night in the bus park back at the depot. Luckily, no one saw me do it, lol.....
damn that kid has a nice ass house, imagine living in a house like that with tedward as your uncle, such a cool life.
So? Everyone gets bullied at some point, my point was he has a nice big house with a great family and support structure, just because 10% of your life isn’t going the way you want it doesn’t mean you don’t have another 90% right there for when you need them.
@@NoHope_ 1.i am clark
2 just saying idk if u meant that replay mean or not
3 RESPECT THE DRIVE NOT THE MONEY
@@clarkhill7746 well, your very young and you may not see it right now but your parents having a stable income and having a great family to back you is way more important than some bully. And no it was not meant to come across as mean, but I didn’t grow up with good parents or any money and I would of killed to come home to a house like that, and if tedward is any indication, a great family to back it. Don’t let some stupid kid bring down the rest of the great things you have going on around you.
@@NoHope_ thank you i will remember that, lets see if you can meet tedward but hes pretty busy and its up to him. ill put in a good word for that good advice. ps thank you for being a good person and helping me and since its national random acks of kindness day
@@clarkhill7746 I have no need to meet tedward, but I appreciate the thought 😂
Awesome!! 😄
I didn't expect at all to ever see this Unimog again after it was put on cars&bids^^ It's great that the new owner doesn't hide it away in some garage!
In Germany the city uses these as their utility vehicle such as plow/gritters or highway maintenance. Would be awesome to see it used for that in the US too.
Even train track maintenance. There are two in one versions which can hop onto train or subway tracks and pull rail cars around.
Hands down one if my favourite CZcams channels, love the cars, and the wholesome vibes. 🙏🏻
7:42 That engine sounds amazing!
Awesome video! One of a kind rig you don't see in the USA often and having a great time with family. Love it!
Great video! So cool to watch your cousin get so excited about the Unimog.
a car enthusiast in the making. i love it!
Was cool seeing your cousin react to it! Gives a whole different perspective of how huge this vehicle is when seeing him stand next to it. Awesome video bro!
Thanks! It's so hard to convey its size so i thought starting in a parking lot with other normal cars combined with Clark should do the trick
This was so stinkin' wholesome and I was grinning the entire time. I was instantly 11 years old again and I would have been over the moon to have this experience. Great job!
You look like a great uncle, great video too
That is one lucky kid, you should definitely take pride in being that uncle and being able to share intrests like this. The only relative in my family that was interested in cars, was my uncle, and he passed away before I was born. I wish that I had someone to share this stuff with on the family side, but I'm always talking a foreign language to them. That kid was so happy and excited, your a great uncle man, keep up the great videos and parenting lmao.
I would have loved having a cousin like you when I was his age!! Looked like you made his whole month!
I don't know if you are a Dad now, but you will make a good one. World needs more guys like you.
That’s incredibly kind! I think I’ll just pay “cool uncle” for a while longer haha
I had a smile the whole time! Hats off to you sir!!!
I discovered your channel last week and i love it. Thank you for great videos, Greetings from car enthusiasts in Türkiye.
Hey! I used to work in Saray!
On my work i drive a U300 (2014) / U1400 (1998) / U1300 (1996) all day. Fantastic Machine
Awesome video! The amount of feedback you get through the wheel is nuts. If you drive this as a daily the gym would become obsolete I guess haha.
I must have climbed in and out of it 15-20 times that day. I felt no need to work out after lol
“Wheel Spin” in a unimog. Best comment ever! I’m glad that you were able to share your experience with your cousin.
I mean, I do have a slight excuse for not clearing the snow off the roof. I am incredibly lazy. Love your videos by the way. Children are truly wonderful.
What a cool day for the kid
haha the funny thing is that I barely slept the night before because I was so excited
كل شيئ رائع اعجبني كل شيئ المدينه و الطبيعه و الجو و الرحله وانتم اروع تحيه لكم من الجزائر 🇩🇿♥🤩😍👍👍Everything is wonderful and everything is nature and the atmosphere and the journey
You sir are a great person! You for sure made his day!
haha thanks! I figure there's not enough young car enthusiasts so I'll foster the passion in the one's that I know
@@TedwardDrivesyou need a snow plow or snow blower for your unimog and you can plow streets. This is what we it use for here in germany.
The Unimog is the best Mercedes Benz created after the G-Wagon. It's just marvellous and nothing can stop it.
Watching from France, just the coolest guy i’ve ever seen !
Thank’s for all your vidéos, just perfect
Love you excitement doing these videos! It really shows through your voice tone
Thank you so much!!
Ok really quick, we can all talk about how massive the unimog is, but can we take a second to realize how massive that little kids house is??
It's probably made out of plywood...
I love the sound of that engine
i love the sound of that engine. exactly what i was looking for
Unrelated to automotive content, but I work in retail during a pandemic and I just wanna say I appreciate y'all wearing masks even tho it's just the two of you.
Great video. Good to see some kids are still into big machines
You remind me of my big brother Greg Bartolini do you know him! Lol they’re pretty popular in Massachusetts ya never know !
With the Alfa 8c and Huayra? I’ve met him. Very nice guy
THATS CRAZY! Small world man!
Respect the drive,yes. LOVE THE DRIVE, now that's MORE in the ZONE!
You are definitely the cool uncle now. Kid will forever see you as a legend.
Awesome you were able to surprise your cousin. Cool vehicle!
Tedward strikes again with the kindness award of the day 🥇!
Nice! You're the Uncle of the year already! Keep in mind it's only February! Would be cool if you bring the kid along occasionally.
He loves supercars so I’ve got some ideas haha
I love your cousin’s reaction to seeing the unimog 😂😂😂😂
Hahah hilarious that still has the same whole on the steering that it did when we put it together. This truck started life as single cab utility truck and we shorten the bed and Added the doka cab for a customer here in Los Angeles. Later got sold and is all over CZcams
Great job because I really thought it came like this from the factory 😅
I've had a green unimog hot wheel since before I can remember and I'm in love
It was already wholesome AF but then you switched the music on and started taking happy pictures
@15:50 as long as you are in the green area, or near it, you're good. It's a low revving engine, the green area on the tacho is where it has best torque
This thing is just too cool.
Clark seems like an awesome kid!
Awesome! Your nephew was so happy! Keep up the great vids!
Thanks Toby!!!
everybody everywhere loves german trucks so cool to watch
Excellent! Great fun for him!
Sweet ride love your videos tedward
Thanks!
ive been subscribed on your channel for probably almost 1 year.. and your growned to be 1 of the best youtubers for me
Thank you!!
I have seen this Unimog specifically so many times online, for sale, etc. I only know that from the cracked MB badge on the steering wheel.
I remember going in a unimog with my dad at his work when I was very young, it’s such an experience
LOVE THIS
I love the Unimog
It's so cool to see how you are the cool older cousin. If I was 11 I would totally be geeking out. Who hell am I kidding I still would be geeked out. I miss being 11, things felt simple then. Although would be cool to be able to drive and be 11 lol.
That would just be the coolest family wagon... 😀👍
Really enjoyed this one ☝🏼 you’re the best Tedward!
Haha thank you!!!
Love the video 🚛
Really nice video!
I knew I recognized that broken center emblem on the steering wheel from somewhere, I saw doug's video on it when it came out so it was hidden somewhere in my subconcious memory
Sweet looking Unimog. I've only seen one in person.
Dang, that turbo
The amount of steering angle required is just insane!
Every turn is a bit of exercise 😂
@@TedwardDrives Obviously not quite as bad but it reminds me of ‘driving’ a traction engine at a show when i was a kid. That thing seemed to be two turns+ before you noticed any difference at all 🤣 thanks for the varied videos. Always make a good watch for a fellow car enthusiast 😁
Fun fact: Not all Unimogs have their badges on the steering wheel bitten off, despite how the media has us all believeing :D
hahah
love the sound of that diesel
Hello Ted! Greetings from Germany! Yes, your last senteces are damn right, man! Thank you!
Great video love it
Great video thanks
Thanks James!
Damn! This car a my so big dream! Thanks for video.
It is very annoying when people just clean off the windshield and side windows! Driving behind them is like it's snowing again.
Where i live the police usually stops those cars and asks them to clean the snow off. Same with dirty number plates
Dude you gave me flashbacks from when i was 11 and my dad came to pick me up in his volvo fh 13 tandem and i couldnt reach the door handle and i had a lot of difficulties climbing in so my dad had me to pick me up and lift me it was the best day of my life
our snow serrvice in germany uses unimogs as plows and sanding of the streets
You made his day better.... Your a very good man....
Thanks Rin!
