I don't get it. Why are there not more of these in America?

>>28478544 (OP)
Because America is a nation of highways and interstates and the Unimogs top speed is like 50 mph lmao

>>28478552
That's good enough on most highways and backroads. Especially off road, no one is flying 50mph+ on real off road.

>>28478561
>That's good enough on most highways and backroads.
maybe for europoors, not in America

>>28478544 (OP)
>why is something closer to a tractor not being used as a main transporter?
Also towing is closer than you’d think.

>>28478544 (OP)
Because it's expensive af

Mercedes marketing team really is braindead.
They could be selling AMG versions of those to Californians and Arabs for a half a milly easy

>>28478929
They are, with a camper back and three axles

>>28478544 (OP)
If you want to do farm shit you use a tractor. If you want to tow shit you use a pickup truck or a semi tractor. What the fuck is this compromised piece of shit supposed to do? Because it seems like it just does a bunch of shit really average or below.

>>28478544 (OP)
>fails at being a comfy family vehicle
Unimogs are highly specialized and are borderline agricultural equipment, dummy. Also very expensive even in their Fatherland.

>>28478544 (OP)
We have f750s that do this shit and tow/haul way more.

>>28478544 (OP)
Chicken tax, can't pass crash requirements, likely can't pass emission standards. It's a shame since I would drive one if they were sold. You can find used ones but they are usually very beat or extremely overpriced.

>>28478561
where I live you'll get a ticket for going under 55 on the freeway.

>>28479725
and don't cost one million dollars

>>28479872
I got a ticket for doing 45 in a 55 zone because a cop was pulled over with flashers on and there were two of them and I didn't want to get into the left lane cuz they were going much faster than I was and apparently you have to go 20 under the speed limit or more - it was really just a way to scam me out of 400 dollars
absolute insanity

>>28478544 (OP)
Super heavy, expensive, complicated and slow. It's tractor with truck body.

>>28479875
>>28479725
now do it offroad?

>>28479490
Unimog is a proven daily car

>>28480591
So a tractor, like another anon said?

>>28479944
Sure.

>>28478544 (OP)
>top speed of 41mph in the "fastest" configuration
Hahahahahahahahahahhahahahahahaha

>>28479485
>it just does a bunch of shit really average or below.
Yes.
Its for a poor euro farmer that cant afford multiple pieces of equipment and has to make do with one power source.
Theyre shit.
Anything they do, something else does better.
>b-b-but Dakar!!!
Dakar has been won by a Porsche 911 and the unimogs that won had over $1,000,000 in mods.

>>28478561
America is a huge country you fucking retard. We need higher speeds to cross larger distances.

>>28478544 (OP)
Because we already have an alternative to it

>>28481626
I like it when they slap some portal axles on these to really rub it in.

>>28481497
why are you lying

>>28478544 (OP)
that doesn't look particularly good at anything specific. what is it used for? a dump truck has more capacity for dumping. that appear too large to navigate a parking lot, so that excludes it from trade work. a regular 1 ton has similar towing capacity. what's the point?

>>28481686
utility vehicles are typically good for a large variety of things so you don't need to buy dedicated vehicles for each task

>>28481740
That sounds like using a set of vice grips instead of a ratchet or wrenches. No wonder you people still live in the dark ages. It seems like you're all about working hard instead of smart.

>>28479944
it has more, and larger tires than the merc, so it's superior on that too

>>28478544 (OP)
Like other anons said, they cost insane amounts of money, and are too slow (going anywhere in USA requires driving at 85mph).

But they are very cool. If they were cheaper they'd surely be popular for ranches, farms, and fun outdoorsy stuff.

>>28481744
so these are the retards who have mortgages with snap-on

>>28481792
Nah. A $20 set of wrenches, a $20 ratchet and socket set and a breaker bar will be capable of doing more, more efficiently than a $200 set of locking pliers/vice grips.

>>28478544 (OP)
Because it's somewhere between a truck and a tractor and costs more than buying a dually, 5th wheel flatbed, and a tractor.
It's also slow as shit, we tow at 70-85mph in 'Murica. Sometimes faster, I was hanging behind a oversize flagged batwing shredder at 90mph this morning on a rural 2 lane highway.
We can also buy picrels for the same price you can get a Peugeot 206, but very few do it because it suffers from same problems unimog does,.

>>28478561
I routinely do 75 mph+ offroad.

git gud bitch
