[@michaelhoskins832]

The "I identify as a Prius" bumper sticker is priceless.

[@V8AmericanMuscleCar]

You can put this car in reverse and hit the gas and the Unimog will still pull it up the hill.

[@DrVonChute]

I drove a 406 back in the 70’s, we called our lowest working gear the coffee break gear as the truck moved so slowly you could go get a cup, then come back and the truck had barely moved. Lol

[@stevenwright6573]

You guys should run the Unimog up to Prudhoe Bay in mid February. Would be a cool series. I know you just did one but this would be like a walk in the park in the Unimog.

[@blueman5924]

I really can’t articulate how much this rig suits Andre.👍

[@michaelneild5133]

I AM TOTALLY ENJOYING THESE VIDEOS!!!! HOW MANY OTHER CHANNELS HAVE A UNIMOG? I LIKE THE WAY YOU PEOPLE USE A COMBINATION OF ENTERTAINMENT AND INFORMATION!!!

[@therealjasonseidel]

I built my first Unimog 14+ years ago ( see unimog wall climb or I turned a unimog overland rig into a rock crawler on KZbin ) and have been hooked on them since. The ultimate off road rig.

[@JDMEXforme]

Oh man i still love those First Gen 4door Rav4s. They were all the time constant AWD not like todays cheap FWD bias slip detection systems. And the ground clearance was and still is amazing. And reliable as all hell.

[@kx8960]

I have a 2010 V6 AWD RAV4 Sport and love it, it was bought new and has 193,000mi with minimal problems. I find the AWD system to be just fine in any of the conditions I've driven it (certainly beyond what most people or sane people do), and if needed, I can actually lock the center diff to 25mph. That really helps in the CO and NM snow in the mtn's. Not sure if the older ones can do that. As I understand it, all models, even the older ones have open diffs front, center, and rear, with not even a limited slip rear (or front) available OEM or even aftermarket (Quaife etc.)! THAT is really absurd as it's probably the #1 selling SUV of all time. I would have certainly paid extra for LSD's front and rear in addition to the OEM center locker or pay to have a Quaife installed rear and front if possible.

[@2ndamendmentSam]

Looking forward to more videos of this beast.

[@nix4644]

Andre, you are my favorite guy on TFL. I can tell you love your job, trucks, and this country. Well done. P.S. Don't tell the others I said that, or they will of course be jealous.😉

[@RealMrNails]

"I identify as a Prius" 🤣

[@the_jarmel]

Happy Saturday/New Year eve✌️Have a beautiful day...

[@andymckane7271]

Unimog! I've long realized the Unimog is the ultimate production 4-wheel drive vehicle. Clearly, Andre feels the same way about this amazing "implement." Andy McKane, Maunaloa, Molokai, Hawaii.

[@HAHA.GoodMeme]

I'd love to see a super built jeep vs this awesome Unimog for the crown of ultimate offroader. Bleepin' Jeep vs. Couch on some serious trails could be amazing content

[@therealjasonseidel]

Although that would be great content I can tell you the after building 2 Unimogs and 20+ Jeeps including rubicons, the unimog is a no compromises off road monster. I also have a hmmwv at my shop that can not hold a candle to a MOG.

[@Legendary-2024]

Can't wait to see the unimog on the official course

[@e.rijpstra6152]

Huge is an understatement...LoL! What an amazing rig...very impressive.

[@MrBillsfishin]

That Unimog is awesome. Now I just need to sell my house so I can buy it. Lol

[@richfarfugnuven6308]

You guys should get a Pinzgauer to test as well.

[@timeless6964]

Best Production 4 Wheel On The Road/Off Road!!!

[@kingpin3919]

Sick video Andre. That thing is a monster !

[@duraflexllc4860]

We should be able to get the new ones from Germany not only old ones 25 years That’s a amazing machine and since you have it in your hands please show us more

[@mikefoehr235]

Happy new year Andre.

[@randydid]

I have wheeled with Couch. Great guy!

[@lowellcrabb151]

I'm glad a few other people saw the knot in that rope. That is poor rope protocol. Knots in ropes reduce their load capacity and become a breaking point.

[@dalejones4322]

That thing is crazy. It will be interesting to see how it does on the road. Maybe the Ike. Great video guys

[@jontodd9408]

That truck would b great for a Costco run…

[@dudesneeds]

I demand that u guys do more videos with the unimog!!!!!

[@jeffforbes70]

what ever new "shine toy" tfl has,is the ultimate off-roader

[@Carlo-_]

I’ve always been a fan of these things

[@DuaneCaldwell]

That thing is an absolute Beast! 👍

[@WW-wf8tu]

Well, this was as exciting as watching grass grow. So what if the back part of the "On-X" course was icy, this thing will tromp that course when it is dry, it will tromp it when it is muddy. The conditions you mentioned might be the only time that Unimog MIGHT actually have a challenge out there at the ranch.

[@fsouza]

- Alright youtube what's on the menu today? - How about a Russian guy doing donuts with a Unimog? - Sign me up

[@rsbrehm]

I like Unimog's but I'd want one of the old cheap ones with the backhoe attachment that are more along the lines of farm equipment.

[@davidhurtado4609]

This thing has to be the undisputed KANG of Zombie Apocalypse!

[@computer1166]

I would like to see the Unimog Ike guantele hill test and towing capacity

[@TheBeatenPaths]

I read the title to this video and I said to myself "it'll pull 20 of them up with ease. I didn't even need to watch, but I did.

[@CraigSmith568]

Was that a knot in the middle of the tow strap or a shackle?

[@TaigaTurf]

This is what Andre used to drive out in the wilds of Siberia!

[@JohnBtons]

We need a Unimog vs Buhanka (Sp?) video!

[@flameredram1572]

Cool :) - now try towing TFL's 2500 Cummins up the same hill

[@boostego1268]

Thé Aussie army are offloading these.

[@scottdm9707]

Need to have some more tug of war competitions, but this time with the Unimog. Your John Deere dealer friends will need to find some bigger competition for the Unimog!

[@tesseract535]

The "identifies as a prius" bumper sticker got me.

[@Chris-wz4zr]

We are still waiting for the video of Bam Bam, the race Unimog.

[@clooperman3745]

My Unimog 406 had a crawl ratio of over 4000 to 1!! in the lowest gear it would cover around 80yds in 1 hour!!

[@Chops00]

I need one of these

[@golfco4life]

Unimog vs Oshkosh MTVR!!!

[@Stylemaster911]

Cool test but wouldn't be any competition at least for pulling. The MTVR weighs about 30,000lbs (for a Mk23). It' just a much heavier cargo vehicle. Offroad wise the MTVR is very capable, but it still has the same 46" tires (although it has 6), with double the weight. Just not as nimble by any means, and not as much articulation with it's TAK-4 ISS.

[@thomasschafer7268]

Super unimog. Only the price is extravaganza. 👍👍😏🇩🇪

[@laszlocsorba5753]

Exactly what kind of tires big truck had? Snow winter tires?

[@joezephyr]

Fabulous thank you! Instead of dohnuts, how about adding a lot of cargo and compare how the Unimog performs?

[@mikeyc7072]

Loves Me a Unimog!!

[@gsitzkowitz]

Very entertaining!

[@Gonzo1968]

I need a unimog in my life!

[@morganb4463]

You could turn the Rav around, put chains on the rears, hit the gas, and the Mog would still pull it up the hill… or rip the frame out lol. Awesome truck.

[@igoldra_9162]

@tfloffroad I would like to know the payload and max tow of that Unimog

[@anthropicandroid4494]

Not a doubt in my mind

[@josepayer4482]

Magnifique

[@alaznispireli7481]

It’s very interesting if you manage and get soviet truck GAZ66 against that truck in off-road

[@vernonbennettiii3646]

I want one!

[@willblake72]

Essentially dragging about 1200 lbs across some snow, I'm pretty sure my old GX would have have no trouble doing that. Funny choice of experiments. Cool Unimog though, I'd rather learn more about that. Have fun untying the knot in that rope lol

[@OffRoadingFriends]

An all wheel drive car could do that. I want to see something actually challenging for a unimog

[@andrej5861]

In mountain areas they often have chains for snow removal, wonder how much they cost (or tires)...

[@KeithStarr]

The one is this video is about $400,000.

[@dadbain]

The Hummer also has portals.

[@superlight47]

The RAV4, rear wheel if not both, is not turning, it is just garaging, while the front wheels are spinning. Did you forget to put the hand break down?

[@enonek2960]

Andre` is this the replacement for your F-150 Lightning?

[@henrysboy2]

This one jumped the shark.

[@philipparana9225]

Cool truck but I can't see any use for this in the states as it is soo slow

[@marcs8563]

Need a video of how to shift this thing

[@davidblalock9945]

So, i may not be that low geared, but 223:1 ain’t that bad.

[@martintin5496]

Amazing ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

[@janverzee9423]

In Europe Unimogs are used to tow trains on railroadyards…

[@steveslagle6894]

The Unimog needs a more serious challenge than this. Deeper snow maybe?

[@MrErViLi]

Would it be possible to put tracks on it? Like Mattracks or something similar. How much more capable would a mog be in the snow?!

[@BrokenCurtain]

This Unimog has a CTIS, putting tracks on it would be a waste.

[@BG-vq9fd]

I like it.

[@davec.3198]

This is the one very exotic thing I would buy if it was rich. Put a side by side in the back and some camping gear...disappear for weeks into the woods.

[@Kriss_L]

As far as downsides, the size is small compared to the cost.

[@djp1234]

Looks badass, but it won't fit on a lot of off-road trails.

[@kx8960]

...it makes it's own trail...🤣

[@PetarDimitrovMKD]

Test the other one with 4 wheel stearing

[@jmodic]

Shut up and take my money. I want one!!!

[@afamilyoutside]

Andre, this Unimog or the Elevation Off Grid F550? Which one is better?

[@pryme2013]

This by a mile of course

[@rigardtgriessel8476]

I wanna see “can this tiny car haul a UniMog up this hill”.

[@rosswallace2969]

Tie it to the pole barn 😂

[@jbouchard4877]

was there a purpose for the knot in the winch line?

[@jbouchard4877]

oops. Tow line

[@FrankUAW862]

you probably could've dragged that and your ram, but like tug of war style and they're both trying to drag you lol

[@theglitch99]

The trick is gearing??

[@HyperSarcasticAvocado]

If you have to do donuts to have fun with this then you're spoiled. I would have fun even just detailing the exterior with my toothbrush in just my underwear in -30 degree weather. That's how cool this truck is to me.

[@robertbrannan9375]

What's the overall length?

[@Tony-hf9mv]

Wonder if anyone has a LMTV to run them against each other

[@user-jt8vq6gb2g]

👍

[@keithgaming7027]

2 things. 1 why is there a know in your kinetic rope? 2 why didn't you use a y harness to keep the rav more centered behind?

[@Kriss_L]

No need to keep it strait - that Mog could have pulled it sideways with no problem.

[@nowayoutstp4]

I need one ☝️

[@Sylvan_dB]

On the highway at 70mph, how many gallons per mile? 😂

[@Predator27007]

Unimog; the only 28 - 30,000lb gvwr suv you'll ever need

[@bradlaflamme6127]

Not the greatest donut machine lol

[@danieltilleru3528]

The hummer ev almost weighs as much as that monster

[@mbaktari8194]

DEUTSCHLAND......DEUTSCHLAND...DEUTSCHLAND

[@trailrunnah8886]

388:1 crawl ratio! And here are all us 4Runner & Tacoma owners with our lousy 36:1 ratio. Even so, I think my 4R could have done this as well, but hey, looks like you're having fun and that's all that matters.

[@ALMX5DP]

Time to save up for a Marlin Crawler!

[@davidclausner8220]

Camper on the back of that with room for a Harley and yz 250 2 stroke. Take my money

[@originalkontrol]

I wannit!

[@gustavmeyrink_2.0]

Unimog - Everything else is a toy.
