After a week of slowly prowling around seldom-used forest roads in the Sequoia National Forest (in search of obscure Sequoia groves and new boondocking sites), I am no longer drooling over a big wide high Unimog. There were a lot of very narrow "goat trail" roads -- big boulders and fallen trees everywhere, and big tree limbs hanging down. My Tacoma got pretty scratched up -- and there were a couple of times we had to back up for a hundred yards or so, just to turn around and escape from a dead end.
So yes, a Unimog might be great in a wide sandy desert. But in serious woods or in narrow canyons, I am not so sure anymore!
