2021 U5023 UNIMOG MAKES 4X4 TRACK TOO EASY! 

didnt seen any real challenging section in this track, looks super easy and so wide, plenty of line options

Yes, except it's not the only vehicle with portal axles.

Yes, a lovely beast. Friendly greetings from Warsaw in Poland to Unidan and all 4x4-lovers.

Yep, apart from the torque, gearing, ramp angles, it's only the portals that give the Mog and advantage 🤨

And the front and rear locking diffs perhaps...? 😂

And it could handle anything! I was actually lucky enough to drive the one fitted with high speed axles (for the wynns rally). Yep they are a great vehicle! I remember driving one when there were still a lot on international F1’s around and out the back of NSW a heap were stuck in the mud. I turned up with a ‘mog and someone said “you won’t get that through there” pointing to the bogged F1’s no worries I said and put it in low range diff lock and got through easy!

Unimog is a legend allready in Europe.

Yup, used to be driven around in a 6x6 MAN towing a 155mm howitzer. Never attempted anything really off-road like this because we were towing a 9.2T gun.

Thanks for the comment! The lead car was a highly modified 2003 GU Patrol with bead locks, lockers and reduction gears, the list goes on. They did everything that we did, however there was definitely a lot more shuffling around the track and choosing different lines as they progressed up the hill, more revving etc. Whereas in the Mog we just picked our gear, picked our line and had no trouble getting up anything. Unfortunately, we don't get too much free time to go out testing our vehicles and having fun but we will definitely think about loading her up next time we do!

What brand of wheels are on the mog

As Boas Novas da Palavra de Deus para vocês ( a salvação é pela fé em Jesus ) "Porque Deus amou o mundo de tal maneira que deu o seu Filho unigênito, para que todo aquele que nele crê não pereça, mas tenha a vida eterna. Quem crê no Filho tem a vida eterna; ( João, 3:16,36 ) "Ele vos vivificou, estando vós mortos nos vossos delitos e pecados, Porque pela graça sois salvos, por meio da fé, e isto não vem de vós, é dom de Deus; não vem das obras, para que ninguém se glorie. Porque somos feitura sua, criados em Cristo Jesus para boas obras, as quais Deus antes preparou para que andássemos nelas." ( Efésios, 2:1,8-10 ) Depois de salvo pela fé em Jesus e em seu sacrifício na cruz, o crente é deixado aqui para ocupar o lugar que Jesus ocupou, ou seja, ser um testemunho de Deus em um mundo corrompido pelo pecado, e interceder pela salvação de seus habitantes. Esta é a "carteira de identidade" de um verdadeiro discípulo de Jesus: o amor pelas pessoas. O verdadeiro cristão ama porque Deus o amou primeiro. Ele quer que outros pecadores sejam salvos, porque ele próprio, um pecador, foi alcançado pela misericórdia de Deus. O amor é uma consequência da salvação recebida, não o contrário. As religiões humanas colocam o amor como condição para se receber a salvação. A caridade do homem religioso pode parecer piedade, mas é interesseira. Ele ama o próximo porque acredita que isso irá contar pontos em sua salvação. A Lei dada a Moisés dizia "amarás ao teu próximo como a ti mesmo". Jesus, porém, diz aos que já são salvos: "Amai a vossos inimigos, bendizei os que vos maldizem, fazei bem aos que vos odeiam, e orai pelos que vos maltratam e vos perseguem". Para quê? Para ser salvo? Não, mas por já ter sido salvo e não ter sido tratado por Deus com o rigor que merecia. Ao crer em Jesus você recebe o que não merecia: a salvação. E fica livre de receber o que merecia: a condenação eterna. "Respondeu-lhe Jesus: Eu sou o caminho, e a verdade, e a vida; ninguém vem ao Pai, senão por mim." ( João, 14:6 ) "Em verdade, em verdade vos digo que quem ouve a minha palavra, e crê naquele que me enviou, tem a vida eterna e não entra em juízo, mas já passou da morte para a vida." ( João, 5:24 ) "Porque, se com a tua boca confessares a Jesus como Senhor, e em teu coração creres que Deus o ressuscitou dentre os mortos, será salvo; Porque: Todo aquele que invocar o nome do Senhor será salvo." ( Romanos, 10:9,13 )

But only 80kph top speed. (I have driven them)

I think you would be surprised at how steep that climb actually is, how high those ledges are and deep the trenches are. Most 4WD drive sedans even if heavily modified would struggle taking the line the Mog took.

Drive the thing through your front door would that be enough for yea, pin head

This is a challenging track a regular 4wd cant hand😅

@@DeePunter What?

The big 3 doesn't want a real truck in America come on now

Lol because this is a better tractor/truck

Nope, replace the Cayenne with a SQ7, 5l Diesel. More fun :D

2021 U5023 as it says in the title

Find us 5tonne of concrete blocks, unfortunately we don't have that laying around. But that's the beauty of the Unimog, you can take a lot of gear far off the beaten track and know that you will get there and home safely.

The ex-ADF Mog's are a heap of fun and will get you to some pretty extreme places. The majority of our previous vehicles (and most that we still have) are ADF and most of our customers are in these old girls. Definitely can't discredit them.

225k give or take :)

About the same price as a kitted out 79 series 🤣

Well bearing in mind that it's just a platform for a huge array of add ons and attachments I would say that adding accommodation on the back would be no big deal. I think it's big shortcoming would be that it's probably not a good economical highway cruiser.

We have lots of images of the interior on our websites, www.unidan.com.au and www.mbuc.com.au

Because cleaning it makes driving it a lot less fun! HAHAH

@@unidanengineering can't fault you there lol.

Turbo-diesel, coil springs, compressed air pressurised axles / inflation ........

Intake snorkel too

Comparison video coming soon.

On the contrary, having the wider track means that you can straddle the bog holes that people have caused in their less-capable 4WD's. You'll see throughout the video, there were a lot of places that we went which would have been quite harsh for a standard 4x4, but with our wider track, we went through it seamlessly.

@@unidanengineering yes i did notice that

?? The Unimog does not have a ladder frame construction. The torque tube suspension and unique chassis design allow it to be more capable off road.

Your both right!!! "Unlike a traditional truck, the Unimog makes use of an unusual ladder frame that sacrifices rigidity for flexibility. The suspension makes use of torque tubes, transverse links, and coil springs that allow for a fantastic degree of articulation, ensuring that the wheels remain in contact with the ground even when forced at extreme angles."

Better to be safe than sorry, I suppose. Plus, you don't want to form bad habits and become complacent and then when you are in a less ideal situation, get yourself into strife.

better :D

Happy for someone to bring one out and do it side by side. We aren’t claiming that it couldn’t be done in another vehicle but the ease and comfort in which it is done in a Unimog is second to none. I personally like having my kidneys intact after a day of travelling

Definitely not. The Unimog's have a low centre of gravity with a tipping angle of 38 degrees.

Sorry, that's highly unlikely. Wasn't even sure what that was until we Googled it, so the chances of finding one in Australia are slim-to-none.

@@unidanengineering AAV4x4 distributed it in Aus. and its way more cheaper compared to a Unimog yet still brand new. They are also tough since its a Russian made trucks.

@@RowynDaily happy to be educated, thanks for letting us know! Could be interesting to get AAV out at the local 4x4 track for a comparison.

@@unidanengineering and that's going to be an epic review, coming 🔜!!

No, Gold Coast.

As far as we are aware, no. The import laws in the US prohibit these vehicles to be imported. However, we also do conversions and restorations of the old Unimog and bring them up to look very much like a new Unimog, as well as increasing the drive comfort etc.. These older restorations can be imported.

Unfortunately, if it was, we wouldn't make it far past the entrance before running out of charge.

Unfortunately, very little. Electric off-road trucks are unlikely to be a realistic future development. Current on-road electric trucks have a range of approx. 150km, and the charge times are still astronomical. It would be great, in theory, but highly impractical in reality. We are more likely to be seeing e-fuels be the dominant solution in the future.

@@unidanengineering When the battery technoligy gets to the point of doubling energy density, and dropping a 500 KW/HR battery from a semi in there that might shake things up.

Electric coal power?

Stupid Greens won't advocate nuclear power either 🇦🇺

What a load of CRAP.

When all the "green thumb" do-gooders realise that there is a bigger carbon footprint in building electric cars than there is in the building AND running of conventional cars and EURO 6 (soon to be EURO 7) trucks, they might wake up to themselves. Also, considering Mercedes-Benz/Daimler is the biggest car and truck manufacturer in the world, they are pretty up to date with what they can and can't be building. They won't be spending time and money designing and manufacturing vehicles that won't be able to be purchased.

@@unidanengineering Sadly these people pushing electric this and and that and carbon footprints etc are only deluding themselves or have a hidden reason for spouting this rubbish, l think you would get more sense out of a brick wall!!!!!

@@unidanengineering I suspect this is a bot as the same comment gets posted under the same name on vehicle videos all over RU-vid. Don't be surprised if you see exactly the same comment popping up on future videos.

We never said that the older Mogs couldn't? This was just a video of this vehicle on this track. No claims that this is better than another vehicle, no mention of the older Unimogs. Not sure how you came to the conclusion that you have. We also have videos of older vehicles on our channel and work with both new and old Unimogs every day. We aren't biased.

@@unidanengineering Hmmm....I know the answer to this.....a run on the same or similar track, new against a nice well kept oldie? Sure the new one would make it look effortless and the oldie would be looking 'out of breath' on some parts, but to see them twisting and turning just the same, would be an education. You wouldn't lose any customers, anybody who can afford your product will be coming to you like a bee line anyway.😃 I'm one of those people who is sure that it is all about tyres. I bought my U1300L around 13-14 years ago and used to run it on Salisbury plain (yes you used to be able to go virtually everywhere the tanks go back then) In that white chalk on New Michelin XZL she performed brilliantly...going wherever the tanks had been, without any real effort......but, I then moved to eastern Poland, where the soil is a poor mix of sand and clay (leaves a blue residue when it dries) and those tyres were dreadful...literally no grip at all......I replaced them with same size Michelin loader tyres (Chevron tread) and the difference was amazing. So to me a lot of it is about tyres, yes a fancy airing down system is good, but on clay, you can't beat chevron treads.

its not, super steep in person and cars roll often...
