Most people that sing the praises of a Unimog have never driven or paid for one. I would love one but they have a lot off issues, and a lot of benefits, but I don't think the benefits are for everyone.
Benefits
- Rugged
- Off road capable
- Roomy
- Parts readily available in most countries
- Fuel readily available
- Serviceable by owner or mechanics in many countries
Drawbacks
- SLOW
- NOT fuel efficient
- Rough ride
- BIG (try to go down some standard roads)
- Expensive to buy and run
If I was going to drive around the world and a tank was not available a Mog would be my second choice :B I have seen many that I love, have seen some converted to using bio diesel they make themselves to cut down on fuel costs and would not argue if someone gave me one, but most people do not need one including me!
A lot of people do not need one to go Off Road but if you want too carry a travel trailer too exteme places that a TC would have difficulty getting too, right vehicle for you
