Great! An old Landcruiser and a Pinzgauer in one clip! If there was a Fifties Willies Jeep (and maybe an old Landrover), there would be all the of the greatest offroaders of all times. When I was driveing the exact same Pinzgauer in the Swiis Army nearly fourty years ago I was not really aware how great those vehicles were. I was more concerned wit hfreezing inside the vehicle. Yello Is a color that hurts my eyes a bit. Nice that you kept the gun holders for the giant and heavy "Sturmgewehrs 57" Swiss army guns. The most extreme I had ever seen a Pinzgauer do: Two army employees were cleaning a cemented v shape gulch out. They had their Pinzgauer and a little one axle trailer hitched to it. They drove diagonally ino the nearly 5 feet deep hole that was only 7 feet wide. The Pinzgauer had on only one wheel ond the ground. Three were in the air and most of the vehicle was pointing high in the air at a maybe seventy degree angle. I always thought: The vehicle is bound to fall over. But those guys could drive out of this hole!
We still have those in the Austrian Army. Last time I was in a Pinzgauer I was sitting in the passenger seat, in the summer and the heating wouldn't turn off. My unit had been in the mountains for a few days and we didn't get a lot of sleep the night before. Fun times, I miss it sometimes.
this (canvas) was the standard model in the Austrian army together with the 712 6x6. I was a driver of the 710 when I was in the army. the solid models were used as command vehicles. they featured stationary heating and were equipped with big radios. you got very lucky if you were selected to drive one of these in the winter because the heater in the 710/712 is more or less non existing -> downside of an air cooled engine. but the vast majority was the canvas version. the third configuration was a medevac version. But only in 6x6. was also nice because it also had stationary heating. this vehicle is almost unstoppable. at least when equipped with snow chains (storage boxes on the side). we often used snow chains even in mud terrain and were trained to put them on and off very quickly. medevac: www.bundesheer.at/misc/image_popup/ImageTool.php?strAdresse=/waffen/images/geraet_sankw.jpg&intSeite=1920&intHoehe=1080&intMaxSeite=1920&intMaxHoehe=1025&blnFremd=0
In the 70's i had two of the STeyr/Puch Hafflinger' models, they were the baby brothers of the bigger ones, with only four seats. Aside from that, i think they were similar.
A great alternative to a side-by-side or UTV. Have been looking at Japanese mini-trucks ($10k) as an alternative - again more for backwoods off-road, noisy and rough riding. These look like a step up ($20k) but a lot more capable. IMHO hate people standing nearby when pulling someone out - waiting for strap/chain to bust/come loose and go flying. Loved shots of FJ, if having Wrangler or Bronco (wide gauge - full size) why not have a Unimog or M35A1
I saw a scene on German TV. Two guys who deal with all kind of ex army equipment: An Austrian and a giant German Greek. The were discussing their offroaders: The Austrian guy told the other one: The Pinzgauer is an offroader for the heaviest terrain. The HMVEE is a vehicle for the autobahn. Well the Pinzgauer is a bit an the small side for a 6 foot 4 guy.
Nobody wanted to drive the Unimogs iwhen I was in the Swiss army. The "newer" one was called the UNIMOG S, a real gass guzzler. But the worst was the Unimog 1t. It had hardly 30 hp. I had to crawl with this thing, a trailer, four poor guys and masses of telephone wires that they had to put everywhere. Through forrests and hills. Loaded and with the guys and trailer it weighed close to thee tons. Mine had a Mercedes star on it and was bult in 1949. Once a rear brake blocked in the field. The mechanics replaced the fluid with salad oil they took out of the rolling kitchen. I drove back to main quarters for an entire day with salad oil brakes.
@@ThisWeekWithCars.....very impressed to see your vast range of vehicles......if you get the chance look out for a Stonefield......rather like a large Pinzgauer, made in Scotland and powered by a Ford unit, with an auto transmission. Keep up the great work.
you mean Steyr-Puch? Yes that is correct, they made the awd system for the old Panda 4x4 as it was called. They did the 4x4/awd for lots of vehicles (and still do under a different name. even BMW's x-drive was/is a construction by them.) And they were the ones who Mercedes cooperated with to make the original G.
looked these up for sale, and see a lot more of the 712 with dual axle in the rear. What's your thoughts/ comparisons between the two models and which do you think is the most reliable/ servicable?
I want to have the 712 for looks only. It is probably a toss up on capability as the 710 can turn sharper and get through tighter trails but will have less traction in mud. The 712 although have six wheels with only a slight added weight is great on flat ground it could give you less ability on rocks because it can drive up on all four rear axles and not want to let the front come back down.
@@ThisWeekWithCars Good points, all of these. Given that the roads i have to travel on are typically logging roads, with fairly wide road beds, but extremely muddy and lots of hills, sounds like the 712 would work great. Thanks man. Always enjoy your down to earth and clear videos. Thanks so much for your reply|!!
The 712 is geared slightly lower, is a little bit more stable offroad and has the extra traction. I have a 710 because I do drive freeways. It still goes almost anywhere it is a couple hundred pounds lighter. Either one will put a smile on your face. I offroad with a group with 710's and 712's and have never had a problem going anywhere a 712 goes I just get a little more wheel lift.
@@life02ab These trucks do very well off-highway and can travel rough roads at a high speed. However, they are not fast! When you do find a highway, you will be passed by semi's! Don't worry though, you will get a thumbs up from every other vehicle that passes you! These trucks make friends at every gas station and stoplight!
The PUNZGAUER has a very big disadvantage over the LANDROVER you want to be aware of! A LANDOVER can deal with up to 45 degrees of side tilt! NEVER ever try this in the PINZGAUER, we had and still have terrible roll over accidents with the PINZGAUERS in the SWISS ARMY! I can’t remember the published figure for the Pinz but it might very well not exceed 20 degrees!
Don't know bout that. My uncle owns a Landrover Defender which he uses for hunting, and during my time in the Austrian Army I drove the Pinzgauer. So while I never tested them on the same trails, I am pretty sure I would opt for the Pinzgauer. These things in the Army were all from the 60s I believe, no one cared for their survival - these things were absolutely driven to death each day, and still they would never fail us. Apart from the fact that I would never dare to just flat out mow down bushes and drive over rocks at suicidal speeds in an expensive Landrover, there is also something really nice about not having a massive hood while trying to maneuver between trees on a muddy, slippery, steep terrain.

I love your Pinzgauer
If you spiked the tires the Pinzgauer might climb trees. Amazing machine and video!!!
Definitely need more film of the Pinzgauer in action.....rescuing the ruff-tuff US trucks. lol
The FJ was a Toyota
I love the way the Pinz aced the quagmire.

I was in a Pinz used by Alpine Adventures to take zip-liners up a mountain in NH. It was pretty amazing what the Pinz could do. Really had to hang on.
jip was fun to watch it. many thx for sharing and it brings back a lot of memories with the pinz 4x4 and pinz 6x6. greetings from switzerland :)
The green lever is actually all wheel drive, the yellow levers front/rear diff locks
That thing is awesome. Wish I had one.
up here i have also learned that the tires you have are the deal breakers when it comes to being stuck or not.
What a fantastic vehicle. Sooo could use that up here in British Columbia where I have my blueberry farm. Perfect.
I bet it’s heaven up there!
Nice Pinz, good explanation! I also have a 710M. I’ve had it for years. Still love it. And yes it is very loud inside.

The green lever is to engage front wheel drive, not a differential lock.
I see that there are quite a number of configurations, including solid side models vs others like yours with canvas. very amazing vehicle!

@@markus4692 thank you so much man. This is such useful information. I am very interested.
Great film. That Pinz is one hell of a cool vehicle. Happy travels!
Great vehicle nicely presented!
Light and purposeful, the baby Styr is even more cute.
I had a Pinz when I was in the army. Great wagons although ours were Turbodiesel.. powerful and FAST... but don’t tell the ‘Feds’..

Note to self. Don't follow a Pinzgauer, except to the gas station.
I'd love one of these things or even more a Unimog. 👍

I've had a couple of Haflingers,which are very capable for such a small vehicle and engine
I break the mirrors on my 710K all the time. Buy extras when you replace them.
I replaced them with the mirrors from the newer models and those seem a lot sturdier.

Your Pinzgauer remins me the Mercedes Benz Unimog from the 60's and 70's
That’s is what everyone who sees it thinks it is.
30 seconds in you had me with portal axles. Why we still roll on model T designs 100 years later....
from where did you get your Pinzgauer?
I have pinzgauer for sale .
This is really good it’s quite similar looking to the forward control land rover is there any connection between the two?
Land Rover is bigger.
What tires are on the truck in this video? Thanks!
I like that truck a lot never saw one tho, how did you get that ?
I have pinzgauer for sale.
When I was in college, my bros would call this a sausage party!
I saw this and thought of you. Then I noticed the next video in the q was this one. Lol!

OK so that clarifies really well for me as no freeways here and so the lower gearing would be perfect. Thanks man!

Mighty 90HP engine. How's the cabin heat?
It is not terrible, it more about how well you have your canvases installed and having the rear canvas on helps quite a bit too.
Love it.

Still rather have a land rover lol
