    You can put this car in reverse and hit the gas and the Unimog will still pull it up the hill.

    I drove a 406 back in the 70’s, we called our lowest working gear the coffee break gear as the truck moved so slowly you could go get a cup, then come back and the truck had barely moved. Lol

    You guys should run the Unimog up to Prudhoe Bay in mid February. Would be a cool series. I know you just did one but this would be like a walk in the park in the Unimog.

    I built my first Unimog 14+ years ago ( see unimog wall climb or I turned a unimog overland rig into a rock crawler on RUclips ) and have been hooked on them since. The ultimate off road rig.

    Oh man i still love those First Gen 4door Rav4s. They were all the time constant AWD not like todays cheap FWD bias slip detection systems. And the ground clearance was and still is amazing. And reliable as all hell.

    • @kx8960
      @kx8960 Год назад

      I have a 2010 V6 AWD RAV4 Sport and love it, it was bought new and has 193,000mi with minimal problems. I find the AWD system to be just fine in any of the conditions I've driven it (certainly beyond what most people or sane people do), and if needed, I can actually lock the center diff to 25mph. That really helps in the CO and NM snow in the mtn's. Not sure if the older ones can do that. As I understand it, all models, even the older ones have open diffs front, center, and rear, with not even a limited slip rear (or front) available OEM or even aftermarket (Quaife etc.)! THAT is really absurd as it's probably the #1 selling SUV of all time. I would have certainly paid extra for LSD's front and rear in addition to the OEM center locker or pay to have a Quaife installed rear and front if possible.

      @therealjasonseidel Год назад +1

      Although that would be great content I can tell you the after building 2 Unimogs and 20+ Jeeps including rubicons, the unimog is a no compromises off road monster. I also have a hmmwv at my shop that can not hold a candle to a MOG.

  • @WW-wf8tu
    @WW-wf8tu Год назад +8

    Well, this was as exciting as watching grass grow. So what if the back part of the "On-X" course was icy, this thing will tromp that course when it is dry, it will tromp it when it is muddy. The conditions you mentioned might be the only time that Unimog MIGHT actually have a challenge out there at the ranch.

    • @Stylemaster911
      @Stylemaster911 Год назад

      Cool test but wouldn't be any competition at least for pulling. The MTVR weighs about 30,000lbs (for a Mk23). It' just a much heavier cargo vehicle. Offroad wise the MTVR is very capable, but it still has the same 46" tires (although it has 6), with double the weight. Just not as nimble by any means, and not as much articulation with it's TAK-4 ISS.
