Who takes out the crown for the 'king of the trucks'? This episode brings all that and so much more, with some great characters, tough tracks a convoy of trucks arrive and challenge Simon to a 'drive off'. Suddenly it's Hino, Vs Isuzu Vs Unimog Vs Iveco and Simon has just the right tracks in mind to challenge this group of oversized 4x4 work horses!
The rocky entrance of Soil Pit Track sees two of the trucks swinging off the winch cable whilst the other two clamber up and over the nasty rocks. A second track just a short drive further north brings a set of deep ruts to the party and it's not long before the winch cable is out again!
Plenty of fun mixed in for good measure, making it a very special session of Life Off Road!

    • 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.

    • 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.

  • 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!”

      @4WDTV@4WDTV5 ай бұрын

    • ​@@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.

      @35manning@35manning5 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

  • Great video, if not quite a fair comparison. The MOG and the Iveco both have front and rear lockers, the Isuzu and Hino don't.

Cant say the Isuzu out reliabilities the mog (is that a word?). expensive maybe but Merc still produce all the parts for all the mogs delivered to defence departments in the past. Those parts still made and delivered to whole world, can also be ordered direct.

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.

They are meant to pull so not much for overland camper as so many think. The portal axels are all mighty but require A LOT of maintenance! There is the need to grease them constantly! And on the road the consumption of diesel is very high, cos of the portal axel and the massive tires. The Iveco is capable to carry more weight on the chassis then the mog. In most of Europe we can drive it with a license B (while the Mog or the other 2 trucks require a C-C1 - except Germany). The Iveco also is more highway drivable so great also for move between locations. The other 2 trucks are just trucks. Incredible capable but not like the 2 other beasts.

    • No, the Unimog is a clear winner, it has much better cross-country ability and reliability than Iveco or other trucks. Its consumption on the highway is higher due to the large mass, as well as the cargo gears in the axles that are installed in most models, but if you install high-speed gears, the consumption is significantly reduced. It is often necessary to lubricate the components there only when used in mud and swamps, and this is a plus, since the components are much more durable; on land offroad, lubrication is often not required, and in the swamp of the Iveco with its modest ground clearance and small wheels there is nothing to do at all.

    • @@user-ct6ev9nu8e i can tell that your knowledge about Iveco is quite scarse. Iveco’s are actually very reliable and can carry far more weight then a Unimog, but not pull. On an overlanding point of view it is better already. The portal axel require more maintenance on any case, actually more on highway cos aren’t meant to be driven at higher speed (by higher I mean 100/110 km/h). The portal axel are immense strong, capable and marvelous if used as intended. That means: off-roading. What you mean for cross-country, im not sure. But if you mean overlanding, the answer is easy: NO. Maybe the new Unimog can do that but the new EURO6 gave some issues. The consumption isn’t about the schnell gearbox but the use of 47” and a weight that is around 5-7t vs 38”-40” with a weight of 3-3.5. Unimogs also require License C in 99% of Europe, don’t know in Australia. I own a Unimog and I know a lot about it. I don’t own an Iveco but I’m looking for a VM90 (born for the army) and I wish I could get the new Daily 4x4. Far cheaper in price and maintenance than a mog. Unimog are born for do a great job and that only. Aren’t born for over-landing much.

    • @@veequency5609 I know Iveco cars very well, they are much less reliable than Unimogs and many Mercedes in particular. We're not discussing regular commercial vehicles, we're talking specifically about all-terrain vehicles. Iveco should be compared not with Unimog, but with Mercedes Vario or T2 of the previous model, Iveco is worse in everything, these Mercedes can withstand gigantic overloads and transport even 9 tons of cargo without breakdowns with a rated load capacity of about 3.5. tons for many years without any breakdowns. Iveco is very, very inferior to such machines. Iveco, perhaps, can only be compared with a 4x4 sprinter, the reliability of which is much lower than that of the Vario/T2. A Unimog is an all-terrain vehicle capable of transporting cargo not on the highway, but in very difficult off-road conditions. This particular model has a total weight of 12 tons and is one of the heaviest Unimog series. As for speed, all Unimogs have traction and high-speed gears, so this particular model with high-speed gears and 47-inch tires has a maximum speed of 117 km per hour, and a comfortable speed of up to 100-105 kilometers per hour. hour. And on lighter models these gears are even faster. Consumption is also directly related to what gears are in the axles; With high gears, fuel consumption on the highway is significantly reduced. I'm not interested in the new Unimogs, they are stuffed with electronics and are no longer as reliable. Among the unimog models with mechanical engines, there are enough of them for every taste: heavy and light, economical and heavy-duty, so looking at all sorts of EURO 6 is not interesting, I am not interested in such cars

    @stevenloynds3691@stevenloynds36915 ай бұрын

    • 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. 😁
