The name says it all, there was no thought of military purposes at the beginning of the development of the vehicle. It was simply a "Uni(UNIversal) MoG (MOtor Gerät) and was developed for agricultural and forestry and municipal purposes. In addition, they also had three possible outputs at the front, the middle and at the rear. So you could have the Unimog built the way you wanted to use it. However, the portal axles are already an important part of the success, and the flexible frame is also conducive to increasing traction.

The design brief for the Unimog was identical to that of the original Land Rover: Something useful for the post-war farmer that can do almost any job on the farm. Both were first released in 1948. Both were later picked up by their respective armed forces.

@veequency5609

The mog was born as an agricultural vehicle not as an army one. Iveco instead…has a military department. And the Iveco daily 4x4 might be the new VM90. The secret of the mog are the portal axel. Capable of wonders but also requiring lots of maintenance.

Hands down the mog. Used it for many years during my Army days and couldnt wish for a more capable truck to go anywhere, crossed a flooded river once and the water was getting close to the bonnet lid. Amazing piece of kit

Great Video! I remember a comercial Video of the German Mercedes Truck Company ( Part of Mercedes Benz) They showed all the Big Trucks Like Zetros 4x4, 6x6 and an 8x8 Truck kliming hills and going off road. Some of the cameras where Recording from far up the hills.

haha, that is outstanding! That you for sharing!

I was a mechanic in the Australian Army when the Unimog came into service. The "powers that be" decreed that the low pressure wide tyres (aka super singles, as shown in the video) that was an integral part of the torque tube suspension had to be ditched, and replaced with skinny "Dunlop Militaires". The same basic tyre fitted to the Internationals it replaced. Basically destroyed 80% of the off road capability in one foul swoop. They also mandated that the alternator be replaced with an in house version, 3 times the size, 4 times the weight. This meant you couldn't tilt the cab without first removing this boat anchor of an alternator.... which you couldn't get to without first tilting the cab partially. Typical of decisions made in the '80's by bureaucrats with no idea.

Damn! Unimog any day of the week! That thing is a beast and simply unstoppable! If the Uni-Mog could talk it would say: “Oh, you think off-road is your ally. You merely adopted the trails; I was born on it, moulded by it. I didn’t see roads until I was a fully fledged beast, by then it was nothing to me but a walk in the park! The off-road trails betray you because they belong to me!”

One thing to consider with the mog 8s that even if it had the same size tyres as the other trucks it has portal axles so its not as likely to get hung up on the diffs

​@@4WDTVactually, the Mog was somewhat disadvantaged by the lack of weight on the back. Whilst lighter means you have better get up and go, and you are less likely to sink in soft surfaces, it also means you have less traction. That's why wheel weights for tractors and ballast boxes for heavy haulage trucks exist. More weight means more traction, as long as you have the engine power and gearing to make use of that traction. Without a load on the back, that Mog weights less then half of its designed operational weight.

@4WDTV

5 ай бұрын

weight can go both ways which is why most race cars (even off roaders and rock crawlers) aim for the lightest possible weight. So there are pros and cons for both. In the case of these two main obstacles seen in the video, weight was definitely a hindrance for the Iveco but you are right, wheel weights would have helped. There is also a great difference between sprung and unsprung mass.@@35manning

@@4WDTV it was more as a stand alone video comparing them. Didn't mention anything more technical. Engine, low ranges, Axel types. Everyone knows a unimog has portals and that's about as much as you go into it in Terms of a comparison. Good filming and video, very much 4wd 24/7 style. I just wanted and was expecting more about the actual machines. And less of an advert promoting goods, also a 24/7 gripe

well we just think this is a great excuse to go back and shoot the video again but cover all the aspects of the vehicles! Great idea thank you@@astromarky123

In the US the Unimog is out there - in various configurations, but only 2WD Hino’s and Isuzu’s are here on box truck chassis. Iveco has faded away here. FedEx used their little box trucks in the early days. I watch the annual Dakar Rally and marvel at the big 4WD monsters which drive it.

The unimog in this video was way lighter than the other rigs. Not to mention the huge tire advantage.

The Unimog is the heaviest here. But you can’t put big wheels on other cars, like on the Unimog - the engine won’t hold up and the whole car will start to break down

but where is GAZ Trackmaster?

No Pinzgauer? Yeah, it's old and dated, but still one of the best raw 4x4 vehicles out there.

Thank you. We have had a lot of questions like this. It just wasn't available at the time and is much rarer than the others.

Do you happen to know who makes the tail lights on the Isuzu? Are they Maxilamps?

They could be, but not sure sorry.

Question from an amateur, what's the track damage after these trucks have been through compared to reg size 4x4s. I can imagine if these vehicles become more popular they will tear tracks apart that a standard vehicle with 4 inch lifts, lockers and 35s will end up struggling.

@4WDTV

it is actually the opposite. In most cases they are more capable and do far less damage. Put is this way, a bigger tyre has a greater rolling diameter and a much bigger footprint so the impact on the terrain is far less. Not only does it present with far less pounds per square inch of force on the ground, it offers far greater traction and rolls up a dover things with much greater ease. hence there is less need to drive aggressively. All the track damage we encountered was from two things, much smaller vehicles and the main cause; storm water. Anyone who spends time in the outdoors knows that rain water does far more damage to the terrain than vehicles could ever do. These vehicles are already popular, there are plenty getting around and my final point is because of the bigger wheel track and wheel base, they typically get up and over obstacles more easily as they don't sit in the major dug out areas caused by smaller vehicles. There are always exceptions to the case but it is all about being a responsible driver and these vehicles had far less impact on these tracks compared to what four smaller cars with smaller tyres and less capability would have done. 😁

It's great to see a review of these trucks doing more than touring tracks. If you're considering any of these trucks, consider investing the difference in the price of purchase into a Unimog you get a 100kph+ on-road capable truck with all the modern features of the rest. Japanese dual cab 4x4 trucks cost from $80-100k secondhand with Super singles, Iveco Dual cab cost $90 - 120k secondhand. Now buy a Mog at auction for $30k and invest the difference of $50-90k in maintenance and comfort and you have a road-friendly supersized 4x4. The only down side from there is it will only be a single cab.

Some mogs were optioned with hi speed diffs, think that gives 65mph, oversize tyres like 395 miicheli or 425 continental give the same, standard gearbox can also have working group gears and crawler gears

Hi Gazza, we don't own the Unimog but we can say you are pushing them to get up to 80kph. They are slow and steady that's for sure. No idea on towing but they certainly have a the weight to tow well.

In addition to much better cross-country ability, the Unimog is also much more reliable than all other vehicles in the test; its transmission and engine are much more reliable, and this is a very important factor for traveling to remote places.

@@4WDTV I agree, but this is if we talk about traction gearboxes in Unimog. But all Unimogs, including this one in the test, also have high-speed gears, which came from the factory as an option and were also installed on those Unimogs where speed is needed; there is nothing stopping you from buying and installing them yourself if the car drives long distances on the highway. Thanks to the high-speed gears, Unimogs, including this model in the test, have a high comfortable cruising speed, higher than that of a Hino or Isuzu.

The Mog is a piece of kit in its own right. It's made ab factory to be getting the job done. The others would need customization to be like the Unimog. On top of that you can be getting an Unimog factory made to be even more capable. With factory support. An Unimog doesn't come cheap - if you're not into the extreme - moneywise the others are great alternatives.

yes, almost a league of it's own! But it would be interesting to see how the Iveco went with even just 40 inch tyres and no weight on the rear. It is extremely capable from factory too.

Does the poor Hino driver realize that the last vehicle has the most difficult job? The forerunners created a lot more slippery mud to drive through.

The unimog was built for this, the other 3 were designed to be road vehicles, not the same leauge. I think a unimog vs pinzgauer would be a moch more equeal comparison. Anyways all trucks did a good job it was a great bit of off roading.
