    UNIMOG vs HUMMER
    We did some simple but extreme offroad testing on the same steepy, muddy with big rocks hill. HUMMER vs UNIMOG is long standing competition to determine what truck is better on various terrains. #4x4

      It is superior to a Hummer if he has the right tire pressure and the right tires on - ding dong. Hummer cant crawl rocks with that ground clearance... 🦄10 vs 🐑0 😆😆

      Did YOU watch the whole video? The unimog easily ascended up a steep, deeply rutted terrain with bumps many times higher than you perceive and actually makes it no sweat. On semi road tyres at that! 😂
      Still waiting for the clip of the hummer doing the same route and completing it, the Unimog did 😉

    Well the unimog does beat the H1 in every technical aspect. You can't beat the mog's torque tube suspension + coilovers. The hummer loose all its axle articulation because of its portal axles, but the torque tubes on the mog allow it to keep its axle articulation, despite also having portal axles. Also, the mog's chassis was designed to flex, further increasing axle articulation. The mog is really one hell of a vehicle.

    I had a couple of weeks experience with a Unimog in 'proper' off-road conditions (similar to the video). Nothing stopped it. Great drivetrain, good tyres and ground clearance like no other. Probably the best 4 wheeled vehicle off road. If you want better, get more wheels, or a wide (LGP) tracked vehicle like a BV206.

    I actually own a H1 and it’s an awesome off road vehicle I’ve taken it thru mud, snow, sand, crawling, ice roads and I even crossed a 5 foot deep river in AZ and I’ve never had to use my winch but I would think the Unimog is superior and I’m sure much more expensive.

    • @thomas1942
      @thomas1942 Před 3 lety +1

      Unimogs are just tractors with equal sized wheels. And depending on the transmission you can have a dozen or more gears. Pop it in the low granny gear and it will happily walk itself up the mountain. I don't think the H1 was primarily designed for this type of terrain. If the Army needed a vehicle that primarily needed to walk up the side of a mountain, they would have designed it that way. H1 & Unimogs are both extremely fun vehicles to own, and are both very capable. I just don't think these type of comparisons really show the strength of both vehicles. If it was a race across the desert, the H1 would win hands down.

    I own two Hummer H1, one for 23 years. They are the most reliable vehicles I have ever owned. Only major component to break was a T-case 15 years ago. I have been all over the Western US and have always been able to go wherever I wanted, on or off road. They are reasonable comfortable on the highway and just awesome off road. I have done trails all over the Rockies and the Rubicon in California. Nothing can touch a Hummer on a side hill because of its low CG or on soft sand due to the CTIS. I have travelled with Unimog friends and they are great for off road, but dangerous on sidehills. They really can't be driven on the highway for any length time - too slow and noisy.

    Ok everyone is saying hummer was at a disadvantage or unimog is the best of all time. They were made for different applications. A hummer was meant to be a light attack vehicle in the desert. The unimog is meant to be a tough, unstoppable heavy-carry truck in the woodlands and swamps of Europe.

      Humvee is not attack vehicle. Humvee is HMMWV - High Mobility Multipurpose Wheeled Vehicle. It is utility vehicle with some added fighting capabilities. And it is not made to be used only in desert. Against enemy equipped with simplest RPGs Humvee is useless. Luckily US never had to use it against competent and/or well equipped enemy, just like any other weapon.

    I've had the pleasure of testing the original Hummer back in 91. It was an awesome beast. However, the unimog and the Hummer can't really be compared in my opinion. One is built solely for being a universal tool that happens to have wheels and portal axles. The other is an awesome compromise between a car, a truck and a gun platform made from parts that are easily obtainable if anything should break. Yes, they are both awesome off road vehicles. Yes, they both have 4 wheels and an engine. But that is pretty much where the similarities end.

Why did they cut the Hummer off when it started over the large hump on the left, and switch to the Unimog, for a lot longer, and until the end of the video? Fair is fair.

When it comes to terrain operations they only choose Mercedes... and that's for a GOOD reason.

    The Unimog is slower, for carrying loads, higher centre of gravity.
    EDIT the unimig has PTO's, agricultural equipment attachments like front end loaders, fork lifts, back hoes. It's a tractor on steroids

      Not necessarily... They are 2 completely different vehicles. The Unimog is more a kin to a road going farm tractor. In fact lots of people all over the world use them as such.
      Whereas the H1 is designed specifically to be much more nimble with a far lower center of gravity. With gears and portal boxes at each wheel that give it the unique abilities it has while off-roading. You know...things like being able to climb vertical ledges.
      And no I'm not suggesting the Unimog can't do these things. We know it can. And does them quite well. I'm just noting that they are completely different vehicles.

    Unimog had bad tires...of all the Offroad / Military tires this is the one most suited for road applications.Put on a Michelin XML or a Dunlop SP T9 and it will perform better. Although there was a great lack of commitment by the driver. Of course its crawling, but you need to hit the bumps with just the right momentum to make the tire hop over...same goes for the Humvee though. Both great cars. But Unimog was made for cargo transport and Humvee for personal transport, different approach in engineering.

    Off-road the only competition to a Unimog is a Pinzgauer.
    The Hummer is useful militarily if you want to traverse flatish deserts at speed.
    Germany and Switzerland haven't got those, they've got mountains instead and then you really want either a Mog or a Pinzgauer.
    The Pinzgauer is about as fast as a Humvee with 100 (6X6) or 110 (4x4) vs 113km/h) but has a 2.5 ton payload to the Humvees 1.1t.
    The Moggy is slower at 93km/h but it can carry 7.5ton!
    Humvees were expensive! The US Army paid $220 000 for each!
    The Unimog looks like a bargain now.

    @DieselDanZ51 Před 8 lety +1

    First off a lot of these "video offroaders" have never driven either. I am quite familiar with the HMMWV (22 yrs Army mechanic retired). Second, the HMMWV was designed as a MILITARY VEHICLE to operate in a TACTICALl environment. It wasn't designed to be the ultimate off-roader. It makes no sense to have a vehicle that can scale cliffs if non of your follow on vehicles (support) can get there. It was built to contract specs which include width, height, load capacity, ground clearance, gradient traverse, etc. That said it does quite well off road. I have had the privilege of driving a few Unimogs (including the Army's SEE and FLU version). The 'Mog is one step a way from a tractor, and very well versed off road. By the way, the Army SEE sucks as a excavator. The FLU sucks as a forklift too. I love both of these vehicles, but I'd take a Unimog for off-road play. But If I'm back in a warzone the HMMWV (or a new JLTV) would be a healthier choice.

      Unimog is underpowered, that is the simple cause.
      Although they are very capable for offroad, their primary intention for use is not this, hence the power train is not made for it.
      Get an unimog and give it correct power output for such use for it's size and then see results.
      Hummer on the other hand has a large enough engine, more in fact, hence it manages to get some obstacles . The ratio is completely different between power and size for these 2

    Two different missions. Unimog is an off road monster. Hummer is a multipurpose all terrain transport and weapons platform. Low profile. High towing capacity. Heavy payload. High mine survivability. Not really designed for heavy off roading in tight quarters. It's too wide anyway. I drove one in Okinawa and it wouldn't even fit down some of the streets. But that same truck was driven in 6' of breaking surf the same day and didn't even break a sweat. Both great vehicles for what they were designed for.

The hummer has a higher end gear ratio and on 1 climbing condition momentum/velocity was required which did beat the Mog since without required speed in a shorter distance it bored itself into the ground. It is not a fair test considering a mog is a true utility beast for many situations and a Hummer has better gearing for the road/highways, not to mention a step up for leisure. Both great vehicles but I favour the Mog myself due to it's superior crawling abilities and ruggedness going over rocks far more difficult than the ones in this video.

    I find these comparisons kind of shaky, since going up a trail so variable, so organic is going to be different every time you lay a tire down. It even changes after somebody gone head of you just once, sometimes for the better, sometimes making it worse.
    Your tires are going to shift to slightly different grips by the inch, every time.
    In this particular test I noticed the Hummer slipped a bit and stopped, and the video cuts to the Mog. Then Unimog slips once and stops, you hear the airbrake, then they make good on a second attempt.
    Again, this is one of a thousand ways it could go, and it seems you need some 4 out of 5 runs or more to let us see more info or a bit more variables and possibilities.
    I have just an old Isuzu Trooper hahaha... a '99 with only aftermarket springs/shocks. I failed going up a very steep, moist trail in the desert (rare rain the day before), with crumbling earth caking up my mediocre off-road tires. I went back for one more try (my fourth)... after letting my pressure go from 35 to 30PSI, and taking a more dangerous but slightly different line, tires just had a foot to the right of the original track. I made it without much fuss from the Trooper at all. Looking back scared me, as I could hardly believe the steepness that stock old SUV just climbed, and some guys in a 4runner even cheered me as they slowly crept by realizing what I just did.
    You never know what might happen on just another run.
