- This is a quick test drive in a Mercedes Benz Unimog U1300L Ambulance. It shows how to start and stop a German Army Spec Unimog. It also shows what it is like to drive a Unimog on the road. This Unimog was going out to a customer and I wanted to give him a quick idea of what to expect. I thought I'd just share it it with everybody.
George, we cannot thank you enough for all the hard work getting that thing ready! We cannot wait until it arrives!
Hola, soy de Chile, y nosotros tenemos estos camiones en el Ejército, aprendi a conducir gracias a estos camiones, son super comodos y me relaja bastante manejar este tipo de vehículos
Hi there! During my military service in the German Army I spent a lot of time on the right seat or, as a recruit, with seven comrades on the loading bed of that model. Thanks for bringing back memories. I like the sound very much.
This reminds me of the time I got my truck licence when doing my reserve army training, way back in 1974 I got my licence in a New Zealand army RL Bedford, I would really love to h ave a RL as my 'car', keep safe and well everyone.
Mercedes is probably the only manufacturer that makes a H pattern shifter with four columns
Great to see a video from you, George! Similar to our Truck. I guess the Cab-overs have a different system as they won't let you turn the key off until the motor is off. Similar speed to ours also...57 when we got it and 62-3 now with 395's on it. Hope to see you in the DIY at the Expo this year!
a long time ago I drove a MB 1418 LAK when I served in the Brazilian army with a engine OM-366A similar to the this unimog
it was good times
i was driving that in my army time ! I Loved it !!! awesome car ! Made a long distance trip for an manouver with the polish and swedish army in 2000 ! Miss my Car ;-)
Brings back memories

George thats a beautiful 1300 another very lucky Unimog Center Customer! The 1300 I bought from you a few years ago is doing wonderful as always and I look so very forward to this winter being done so I can get it out and drive it again! You and yours take care my friend!!
Karl
nice Unimog greetings from germany
the unimog is the best 4WD I know
For a long time we had a Unimog fire engine in our volunteer fire department , but it was taken out of service a few years ago, but it was a very good vehicle and we miss it
A bit late.. But the red light on the speedometer is there to warn the driver that he/she is nearing highest allowed speed for heavy vehicles. In Europe you’re not allowed to go any faster than 90kph in a heavy truck, if you’re hauling a trailer you’re only allowed to do 80. This differs some between different countries in Europe, but the upper limit is always 90kph. All vehicles with a total weight of 3500kg or more are subject to this speed limit, except for buses which, at least in Scandinavia, are able to do 100kph. A small question: do you use the tachograph behind the speedometer in the US?
Tachographs are not used in the USA. I just keep them blank. Yes the warning light is at 80kph for speed limit warnings in Europe. In the USA I can drive 100+kph on many highways if I want to;)
my best days in the army are the ones in Unimog.
Me too bro,
riding a unimog in Şırnak, is the most fun part of the army ;)

Hi great video this vehicle does'nt have front or back pro. Thanks for share, grettings from Colombia
One day I make this a camper
Very informative and interesting video sir!
❤
Good 👍
Talk about row a boat to shift lol
that first red icon linked to second position of locker switch icon does NOT mean u r in 4wd, u r allways in 4wd. also clutch press when starting doesnt seem to be mandatory.
I do not believe that is correct, Unimogs are not full time 4x4 as far as I know. They just don’t use locking/unlocking hubs like a regular old truck did, they have a full time hub setup but selectable 2 wheel drive/4 wheel drive…..
The U1300L is not fulltime 4x4. You are not always in 4x4. Normally you are in 2x4 rear wheel drive. Not sure where you are getting your info from. Clutch press depends on specific vehicle. Some have a clutch press safety, some don't - depends on the requirements for specific markets and uses.
Yes thats correct they are normaly rear wheel drive even the Newest. There are some expetation. The biggest models are Standard 4 wheel drive. And thats only with the last gen and the actual gen. Greetings from Germany
@@theunimogcenterdid they scrapped her! Take her apart where is she today!
What’s the red light that popped up on the speedometer?
He was driving to fast
@@wodanowitz oh ok
It's a speed warning light. It comes on if you are exceeding German speed limits for commercial trucks. Not an issue in the USA or most of the world.
Use unidan gear ratio Axel
yes
❤️🌷
Hopefully I win the lottery so I can afford fuel for something like this lol. Really really want to own a unimog
lol it drives with everything...
Why weren't you allowed to use the sirens?
In the USA at least, only the police can use blue sirens. Big no no for anybody else - sort of like impersonating a police officer.
Better start in 3 or 4 idle but never in 5th with 1000rpm's
Will the 1987 model be good to use?
Yes it is. Greetz from Germany 🙋
📼👍seat belts pls .
Do all the ones after 1990 already have the high speed gears?
They didn't have slower ones bevore🤔
I'm just trying to learn more about them
For the Unimogs with this cab there are three gearboxes:
First One(~1979 to ~1989): UG3/40
Second (~1990 to ~2002): UG3/65
Third (~2002 to today): UG3/100
All gears are the same, maybe not exactly, but you wont see any difference.
Only ecaption is the 8th gear of the UG3/100, ist 26% (0,74i instead of 1,00i) faster than the 8th gear of the other two.
@@tkintsxela2526 thank you!
@@odoyle_rulez But there are a lot posibilities to add "gearboxes" or change the transaction of the differential. If you need more information, leave you mail, i will sind you some pictures.
كم تسوا دولار؟
Questo non è un veicolo per correre. Non ha senso cambiare marcia a 3500 giri
Hi what app is for the speedometer gps ??? Please
