The "I identify as a Prius" bumper sticker is priceless.
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
I really can’t articulate how much this rig suits Andre.👍
I AM TOTALLY ENJOYING THESE VIDEOS!!!! HOW MANY OTHER CHANNELS HAVE A UNIMOG? I LIKE THE WAY YOU PEOPLE USE A COMBINATION OF ENTERTAINMENT AND INFORMATION!!!
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 KZread ) and have been hooked on them since. The ultimate off road rig.
"I identify as a Prius" 🤣
Andre, you are my favorite guy on TFL. I can tell you love your job, trucks, and this country. Well done. P.S. Don't tell the others I said that, or they will of course be jealous.😉
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.

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.
That Unimog is awesome. Now I just need to sell my house so I can buy it. Lol
Looking forward to more videos of this beast.
Unimog! I've long realized the Unimog is the ultimate production 4-wheel drive vehicle. Clearly, Andre feels the same way about this amazing "implement." Andy McKane, Maunaloa, Molokai, Hawaii.
Happy Saturday/New Year eve✌️Have a beautiful day...
Can't wait to see the unimog on the official course
Thé Aussie army are offloading these.
You guys should get a Pinzgauer to test as well.
Sick video Andre. That thing is a monster !
That thing is crazy. It will be interesting to see how it does on the road. Maybe the Ike. Great video guys
Huge is an understatement...LoL! What an amazing rig...very impressive.
I'm glad a few other people saw the knot in that rope. That is poor rope protocol. Knots in ropes reduce their load capacity and become a breaking point.
Best Production 4 Wheel On The Road/Off Road!!!
That truck would b great for a Costco run…
I'd love to see a super built jeep vs this awesome Unimog for the crown of ultimate offroader. Bleepin' Jeep vs. Couch on some serious trails could be amazing content

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.
I have wheeled with Couch. Great guy!
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.
We should be able to get the new ones from Germany not only old ones 25 years That’s a amazing machine and since you have it in your hands please show us more
Happy new year Andre.
I demand that u guys do more videos with the unimog!!!!!
I read the title to this video and I said to myself "it'll pull 20 of them up with ease. I didn't even need to watch, but I did.
what ever new "shine toy" tfl has,is the ultimate off-roader
Cool :) - now try towing TFL's 2500 Cummins up the same hill
That thing is an absolute Beast! 👍
Fabulous thank you! Instead of dohnuts, how about adding a lot of cargo and compare how the Unimog performs?
I’ve always been a fan of these things
Need to have some more tug of war competitions, but this time with the Unimog. Your John Deere dealer friends will need to find some bigger competition for the Unimog!
- Alright youtube what's on the menu today? - How about a Russian guy doing donuts with a Unimog? - Sign me up
This thing has to be the undisputed KANG of Zombie Apocalypse!
I need one of these
Was that a knot in the middle of the tow strap or a shackle?
I would like to see the Unimog Ike guantele hill test and towing capacity
I like Unimog's but I'd want one of the old cheap ones with the backhoe attachment that are more along the lines of farm equipment.
The "identifies as a prius" bumper sticker got me.
My Unimog 406 had a crawl ratio of over 4000 to 1!! in the lowest gear it would cover around 80yds in 1 hour!!
Super unimog. Only the price is extravaganza. 👍👍😏🇩🇪
We are still waiting for the video of Bam Bam, the race Unimog.
Andre` is this the replacement for your F-150 Lightning?
You could turn the Rav around, put chains on the rears, hit the gas, and the Mog would still pull it up the hill… or rip the frame out lol. Awesome truck.
@tfloffroad I would like to know the payload and max tow of that Unimog
This is what Andre used to drive out in the wilds of Siberia!
Exactly what kind of tires big truck had? Snow winter tires?
We need a Unimog vs Buhanka (Sp?) video!
I need a unimog in my life!
Loves Me a Unimog!!
Very entertaining!
Not a doubt in my mind
This one jumped the shark.
Cool truck but I can't see any use for this in the states as it is soo slow
What's the overall length?
It’s very interesting if you manage and get soviet truck GAZ66 against that truck in off-road
Unimog vs Oshkosh MTVR!!!
@Stylemaster911
Жыл бұрын
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.
In Europe Unimogs are used to tow trains on railroadyards…
Magnifique
I want one!
An all wheel drive car could do that. I want to see something actually challenging for a unimog
In mountain areas they often have chains for snow removal, wonder how much they cost (or tires)...
@KeithStarr

The one is this video is about $400,000.
Essentially dragging about 1200 lbs across some snow, I'm pretty sure my old GX would have have no trouble doing that. Funny choice of experiments. Cool Unimog though, I'd rather learn more about that. Have fun untying the knot in that rope lol
Andre, this Unimog or the Elevation Off Grid F550? Which one is better?

This by a mile of course
Need a video of how to shift this thing
Would it be possible to put tracks on it? Like Mattracks or something similar. How much more capable would a mog be in the snow?!
@BrokenCurtain

This Unimog has a CTIS, putting tracks on it would be a waste.
I wanna see “can this tiny car haul a UniMog up this hill”.
you probably could've dragged that and your ram, but like tug of war style and they're both trying to drag you lol
was there a purpose for the knot in the winch line?
@jbouchard4877
Жыл бұрын
oops. Tow line
The Unimog needs a more serious challenge than this. Deeper snow maybe?
I like it.
This is the one very exotic thing I would buy if it was rich. Put a side by side in the back and some camping gear...disappear for weeks into the woods.
So, i may not be that low geared, but 223:1 ain’t that bad.
The RAV4, rear wheel if not both, is not turning, it is just garaging, while the front wheels are spinning. Did you forget to put the hand break down?
Shut up and take my money. I want one!!!
Tie it to the pole barn 😂
The Hummer also has portals.
The trick is gearing??
Wonder if anyone has a LMTV to run them against each other
Amazing ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Test the other one with 4 wheel stearing
As far as downsides, the size is small compared to the cost.
On the highway at 70mph, how many gallons per mile? 😂
Unimog; the only 28 - 30,000lb gvwr suv you'll ever need
Not the greatest donut machine lol
👍
The hummer ev almost weighs as much as that monster
Looks badass, but it won't fit on a lot of off-road trails.

I need one ☝️
If you have to do donuts to have fun with this then you're spoiled. I would have fun even just detailing the exterior with my toothbrush in just my underwear in -30 degree weather. That's how cool this truck is to me.
Unimog - Everything else is a toy.
I wannit!
DEUTSCHLAND......DEUTSCHLAND...DEUTSCHLAND
You'd need something big if you get the Unimog stuck. Especially in sinking mud
2 things. 1 why is there a know in your kinetic rope? 2 why didn't you use a y harness to keep the rav more centered behind?

No need to keep it strait - that Mog could have pulled it sideways with no problem.
388:1 crawl ratio! And here are all us 4Runner & Tacoma owners with our lousy 36:1 ratio. Even so, I think my 4R could have done this as well, but hey, looks like you're having fun and that's all that matters.
