[PTA SC] Unimog U500Is @ 700lb/ft of torque

De OP








Driving the Unimog, especially the long-wheelbase version, isn't as intimidating as one might think. In the context of a medium-duty truck, it's quite manageable. With the wheels directly underneath you, it offers impressive maneuverability, with little problematic body roll. Running up and down the gears with the electronic clutch takes some getting used to but would seem most useful when hauling or towing near-max load weights. It wouldn't surprise us to see some of this work-oriented technology in a version of a medium-duty Ram. Likewise, we're hugely impressed with how powerful the M-B 6.4-liter I-6 is, an engine that could provide a great way for Dodge to offer another option to the smaller Cummins 5.9-liter diesel.


The downside to all this is at $137,000 (our specific test unit) and with so few sales per year, it's not likely you'll see too many of these highly nimble work trucks cruising down the highway, and that's a shame. Regardless, it would be nice to see something smaller from Unimog for our Ultimate 4x4 Challenge next year. We can only hope.
