The unimog isn't military based. It's development began in the farming sector. It was produced with a pto, hydraulic rear lift and so an. That's the reason why you had so many gears and the reduction gear. Now a days the Unimog isn't any more in deep farming, mostly you see it in the Municipal sector, like Road maintenance etc. In winter you often see it with a plow. Or like you said already many fire trucks are based on the unimog. Also it's very likely to build a camper on top of the Unimog. So you see, the Unimog was every where, not just in the military sector. PS Unimog means "Universal Motor Gerät" which is translatet Universal motor device "
That's correct. It was designed as a tractor... that you could drive your family to town with. As far as a daily driver, I was half-expecting him to go to the mall and get groceries...
Unimog isn't a Military Truck! It was build for Civilian use and got adopted by the Military because of the outstanding capabilities. Unimog stands for Universal-Motor-Gerät (Universal motor device). You can attach hundreds if not thousands of different machines to it that got developed for it by many company's. Cranes, mowers, snowplows, winches, street cleaners you name it the Unimog can do it! (normally they have a pto shaft like a tractor)
military based truck? No, it's not?! Primarily for municipal use, construction and maintenance, farming and also the military, but it's not a truck specifically designed for the military
And to be specific the first UNIMOG in the 40s was intended for farming. That was the reason for a couple of design choices like the AWD, the lockers in all differentials, the portal axles, track witdh and the possibilty to power additional equipment. But it became quickly clear it is well maybe even better suited for the above mentionend use cases.
@@richfarfugnuven6308 many military forces use them because it's practical, but it never was primarily designed as military truck and then used off label for another purpose
@EnjoyFirefighting - International Emergency Response Videos I always joke that it's the opposite of the HUMVEE. HUMVEE was for military use and the public grabbed and loves them now. The UNIMOG was for the public and the military loved them and started grabbing them.
We had a Unimog Fire truck that belonged to the forest service. I got an order to pickup a fire crew 320 miles away. I took them 578 miles to the fire. The Unimog has a distinct sound. I heard it coming into fire camp the next morning. He could only drive 45 mph, and was exhausted from the trip. (1988)
Correction: No glow plugs on this style Unimog, possibly has a Webasto or Espar etc. Coolant heater. 15 minutes can help it start unless ambient temp are really cold. Then it may require a little longer preheat. Brakes are what is known as Air over hydraulic. In Canada you need an air endorsement on your license. Unimog owner for over 40 years-Nice Mog!
I used to operate a Unimog with a slick line rig on the back of it, for a few years back in the early 2000's. To call it a rough ride on the highway, or gravel roads is an understatement. Incredible off road, but you might want to invest in a kidney belt to get there.
I have always wanted one. I definitely don’t need one. There are many things on the list before one of those. But you never know when that crazy deal might come up. Thanks for sharing

It's an 18-spd Trans. 4 gears, low range/high range and then split 1/2 gears for each. 4x4 is 16 forward gears. Then you can high/low range the Lo gear (crawling gear). When you were starting off, that wasn't 3rd gear. That was 5th gear. Then when you thought you were in 4th gear, that was 7th gear. Then 9th gear. You were skipping your split gears or 1/2 gears. Everytime you don't split a gear, you are skipping a gear. (Which is fine when you are empty). I know this because I am a trucker and I have driven everything under the sun that has wheels. Including operating trains/engines.
It’s not split gears. The standard box is 4 gears with automated high-low switch in a double H pattern. First row is 1,2, second row 3,4, then third shifts to high, and gives you 5,6, fourth slot to the right gives you 7,8. The extra gears he mentions are crawler and working gears that reduce the main gearbox. Overdrive is a planetary gear that sits between the engine and gearbox and it just reduces the rpm. Not a very common setup. Plenty of pics on the Internet of what the different levers do
Nice to watch a video where for once we can get the truck cheaper here in Europe ;) A new one is about 150k + VAT. If you go nuts on the spec, double cab, hydraulics, winches and so on you should still be under 200k. This videos are seriously making me consider one though... looks amazing! Also have to note it stresses me out every time I see you guys fill what I think is the wrong fuel in your trucks 😅 Green is for Petrol in Europe, while black is for Diesel.
I just watched The Amazing Race (USA) and the people put petrol instead of diesel and broke 3 of the cars. All because you have different colors than we do 😂
In vehicles like that where the gear ratios are so tight together i tend to skip at least 1 sometimes 2 geas if they are empty. i.e. starting in 3rd go to 5th and so on.
We have the Unimog Museum and it's birthplace like 50k s away. You can be driven in the most offroady one on a demonstration course. The capability of that thing is freaking scary. And the newer ones are way more comfy with the auto, the way nicer cabin and the astonishingly powerful 5.0 4pot diesel.
Unimogs are such amazing vehicles. Especially the newest models like the U5030 - so comfy for such a big truck and capable of more things than most people even would try to do.
Ahhhh Hwy 287 Colfax Ave?….. I lived in the Denver area 30 years ago….or more, and when you said Hwy 287, Colfax Ave. popped into my head. Man….WHAT a vehicle! Love the video….
Primarily it was constructed for the farmers after the war that they don’t have to buy a truck and tractor. It is till today the most useable off-road car you can afford in the whole world. I have one of my grandfather from 1967 and a new one. Best German engineering ❤ 👍
I don't think that the unimog is a truck, it's mainly a tractor, crane, construction equipment. I've seen people using them for farming(with some weird wheels and spraying equipment) and in Germany I've seen them used for construction and infrastructure maintenance. Never seen one used as a truck but I guess it can be used as one
Uni versal Mo torized G erat (appliance) . Built for Ag, municipal, military, emergency, and they could be purchased new for pleasure optioned exactly how you want it.
If all you need is a truck, you probably don't really need a Unimog, but you can certainly use one. Military applications tend to use it simply as a truck, and "expedition campers" do the same... neither taking advantage of the power take-offs and extreme gearing.
In European Trucks Manuel Transmissions are Synchronized, American Manuel Transmissions are Constant Mesh: if you can’t “Float”, that is Shift without using the Clutch once under way, then you have to Double Clutch to Shift.
True that the Unimog was not originally a Military design. But it worked great for many military applications. Google the "Buffel" mrap developed by South Africa during the border war 66 to 89. The Buffel was the standard South African Army troop transporter which was a converted Unimog. They took the cab and bed off and replaced them with a v shaped bin and protected driver compartment and used them for the next couple of decades. The basic vehicle remained standard Unimog though.
I think Mercedes-Benz would increase drastically their Unimog sales, if they mass produced a more compact version similar to the U430 with a more affordable price, and simpler equipment. Also standard with a 3 point hitch and rear PTO. It would compete with the compact tractor segment, to small Farms with the pros of having a more comfort ride.
UNIMOG was not invented for the millitary. After the war the german ingenuers wanted to creat a car which is able to fullfill all tasks. it should be able to work on the field like a tractor and also be able for works in City or on hayways. UNIMOG means universal motor device
Unimog is not military oriented it was designed for farming, so farmers that couldn't buy a truck and a tractor could use the Unimog for both if they needed.
It is an agricultural vehicle by primary design, with added functionality. We used a 416 unit as a daily in 1980-81. 5.7 litre NA straight six Diesel, diff-locks on every axle, unstoppable. Not meant to be fast, just meant to have unequalled endurance and longevity. With 500mm ground clearance, what can go wrong?
I drove this truck to Flagstaff last year for Overand Expo, we were getting between 12-14mpg with a 100gal diesel tank and everything else for the show loaded in the back.
You said the brakes were hydraulic. It’s actually air over hydraulic. The master cylinder is half way down the truck and air pushed by the pedal in the cab is pushed to that master cylinder and the hydraulic circuit works from there. Unless the modern models went a different path.
The refuelling threw me for a second… The Green pump is Petrol (gasoline) here in the UK, diesel is Black. That’s definitely one to watch out for if I ever get to the US and have to fuel up. Great Truck though.
My dad has a 2002 ford e350 Quigley 15 passenger, which is like 4 tons and it only gets between like 8 and about 13 miles per gallon, depending on how it's driven
My 8000 pound 2003 Excursion is turned up to 600/1100 and it does about the same. If I keep my foot out of it on the highway, I can do a little better when I turn on the water methanol...

@Jackson Rodabaugh the 6.0L powerstroke was not bad stock, but I had it torn apart and completely bulletproofed. Now at these power levels, it's pretty bad.
You have a double cab, short bed unimog?!?! Where did you get that one? It is my dream truck. I just withed it had abed that continues the flanks of the cab like the G Class. Just bigger.
You are a brave man to run a Unimog at 75 mph :D In most places they are governed to 55mph and even then they are pretty unstable with their high center of gravity and comparetively short wheelbase
Ours is rated at 87km/h on standard tyres. Apart from having the engine scream, it’s not a problem to drive. Not a sports car, of course, but it’s pretty good for an off road truck.
Hehehe😂😂 first of all, where did you get the double cabin from? It's damn rare. Second, you have some facts wrong about the Unimogs.. But the most important, this isn't an old model! This is the latest model that is out there 😅
better explanation for the gears: you have 8 forward and also 8 backward gears... but you need big balls to drive 70 mph backwards. because of gear reduction for offroad you have in total 16 different gears
Sure you could daily drive it if you have money coming out of every nook and cranny possible, But she is a farm truck from birth then maintenance,construction all that also military but not primarily I drive a 1970s series 3 land rover daily with turbo diesel, I can feel the pain on roads and highways same as the mog.

You need to ad a pinzgauer in your fleet because Tatra and Pinzgauer have the same dad I mean the constructor.

The upshift sequence is hilarious - it must spend as much time with the clutch disengaged as actually applying power.
The Unimog has nerver been a military vihicle. Is is used by military but its designed for agricultural use.
Stirring that gearbox in traffic gives you a taste of what it was like to be a "Big Truck" (18 wheeler) driver before the automated transmissions.
