[@mrheyfuckoff1]

Im not even into offroading & I want one lol What an absolute monster of a vehicle.

[@joshwinders435]

I love it how he went off roading in an office shirt

[@mikev6046]

A true utility vehicle. Not like in the states where people buy a honda ridge line with crash bars going to home depot. Smh

[@masaallen1009]

Mike V they're called queers here in the U.S. Fucking Honda Ridgeline comes with a vagina and a box of tampons.

[@Neojhun]

[@martijnjonkers2179]

For all people saying get a unimog, this daily is not competing with a unimog. This is in the same range as a mercedes sprinter 4x4,

[@dimmacommunication]

Martijn Jonkers How does it compare to a sprinter?

[@GdaySport]

@BertNL the sprinter daily does not have the twin solid axles and triple difflock or body on chassis, let alone transfer box with double reduction low range, or hill descent, or ground clearance... So nothing like it imo....

[@norsenomad]

Nissan Patrol GR 3.0 Di Turbo They are different, yes. Anyway, Mercedes does actually offer Sprinter 4x4 Cab Chassis variants, both single cab and double cab, both with 110 mm body lift for more clearance than the 2WD Sprinter models. And there is a transfer box 1:1.42 low range available as factory option.

[@offroadrover]

Are you serious. Sprinter in any 4wd configuration can't compare with the Iveco.

[@Maccat]

Not to mention that unimog is an 8 tonne medium rigid truck! A unimog and the 6x6 unimog are unmatched off road!

[@GiulioImparato]

italian firefighters use one too, you often see them in the appennines .

[@forrest1216]

We have several

[@mountainconstructions]

With Toyota Landcruisers getting too small and its towing limitations And F150's being too $$$ here This IVECO configuration will find its market, if it is priced right. Overlanders, FIsherman, Parks Management going to love these

[@paariraaju9688]

Good review!! This is an adventure tourer and not a regular truck. Infact a mini Unimog with extreme abilities 👍👍👍

[@TheChanak12]

wish this truck will be available in my country soon..

[@thewhiteEagle]

very beautiful all the trucks of Iveco company

[@Robin-bq4pt]

Iveco trucks are just shit, i repaired them and left to MAN, because they are extremly rusty...

[@cianciopilli]

[@domenicobartoccioni1610]

That's a brilliant overview!

[@HjMaswadyHjAmjah]

Now this is a nice alternative to my Hilux!But the size means I won't be able to use the office multi level car park though.Does this also come with non Euro 6 diesel engine option?Or maybe a bio diesel ready spec engine?That would really lift their game... 😍

[@dickkehoe4740]

VIVA ITALIA !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!from Australia

[@davidstewart2490]

They need to bring them to the US

[@jacobbandman4493]

Front and rear differentials will always split torque 50-50 on a surface with equal traction. The diff locks just ensure this always happens

[@g.r.2985]

What, no “G’day, I’m Paul!”? Great review, again mate.

[@albertdesalvo7273]

Awesome machine.

[@af7760]

my dreams vehicle!!!

[@Iowarail]

Heavy steering builds strong core.

[@blessingmaambo]

Does it mean that you only engage to 4WD by locking the center diff lock ? Or there is another engaging selector

[@jaredtansley3236]

Sold me with the Truckie paper holder lol

[@bullrambler]

The Iveco Daily 4x4 reminds me of a Unimog. In North America one is more likely to see a Unimog more then one would see a Iveco. Both appear to be great vehicles and without a side by side test it would be challenging to differentiate between the two. There is room for more information in a video on the Iveco Daily 4x4. Like the height, width, cargo carrying capacity, engine displacements, transmissions, turning radius, accessing the rear box and price. And this could be accomplished with an onscreen table that includes the specifications. I would suggest a table that has both metric and imperial measurements as this would more readily provide quick information for all who are interested in this vehicle. Overall the Iveco looks like something that travellers would consider as it has the capacity for a lot of off road applications.

[@mojavedesert2610]

All I know if I were a country I would do everything opposite of the United States so my country can get all these cool offroading Vehicles from Iveco, Toyota, Mercedes Benz, and Suzuki!

[@DonHavjuan]

Sounds like you need to move to Australia.

[@andreinastase1235]

Australia has fallen under Zionist control.

[@jaime4022]

Andrei Nastase Apparently you have fallen under stupidity control!

[@Spookyb329]

Those doubting the off-road capability of this, consider that this is not a 4x4 variant of the 2wd van. Its a SCAM dedicated 4x4 chassis with an Iveco cab bolted on top. Plenty of discussion at ivecoforums.com in the 4x4 section.

[@ozjado]

Im getting pretty keen on or of these but I don't ever really see any here in Australia

[@HughSmith]

So it's a van with diff locks .... Got it... Seems to work really well in a field

[@BlackJack-pf8kd]

Theyve got them at traffic control sites around aus and theyre beasts

[@klokstop]

Does anybody know the particular camo wrap name applied to this iveco?

[@KingSengco]

Woah, at first glance, I thought I was looking at a Mercedes Benz unimog review. This one could really turn heads and could really go places

[@moblet]

One of my neighbours has one. It turns heads & goes places.

[@coyoteguyke]

Nice truck !!!!!!!!

[@ldmtag]

Locked diff doesn't split torque 50:50, if it did the unloaded wheel would've spinned like if the diff was unlocked, cos that's exactly what an open diff does - splits torque 50:50. Locked sends torque to the wheel with traction, that's why it doesn't spin the hanged in the air wheel, it has almost 0 torque.

[@MrThewhip333]

Can you buy those in North America? I want one instead of 1 ton duelly

[@psy06]

this thing is bloody awesome. imagine it on portals and 40 inch tires..

[@maverick2242]

Now imagine climbing in and out of it 30 times a day.

[@madmagcat7515]

the answer it's the italian graelion tekne. same engine, robust chassis and portal axles😄

[@shanesuridge587]

May have to go window shopping for a new 4x 4

[@_TenaciousD_]

Great vehicle, good review. Its fairly priced too for what it is. I would prefer if it had a higher towing capacity though, 3.5T seems low for something of this size. Only issue I had with the vid, is that i was looking forward to seeing how the slow the Daily crawl down the hill using the reduction gears but it seemed he still had it in a higher gear as oppose to it's lowest 100:1 ratio.

[@nebuchadnezzar9641]

But it is actually going to safely and easily tow that weight. Your average 4wd will claim 3.5 t capacity but that includes everything in the vehicle including people, equipment, mods like tow bar, bull bar, toolbox etc. and they struggle

[@paulregan5311]

Easily the WORST vehicle i have ever come across in my 12 years working in the mining industry, there is a reason everyone drives Landcruisers and Hiluxes. The company i work for bought 4 of these ivecos at a cost of $125000 AUD each. We use them as mine Vehicles and right now, 3 of the 4 of are in limp mode. All are 2 years old with less that 70000kms on them.All 4 have had the Cab mounts on the front break off, which essentially means the cab isn't connected to the chassis, all 4 have had transfer case mounts replaced twice in 2 years, while i was replacing a clutch i removed the gearbox and was astonished by how light and small it was. Its not fit to be offroad, its a jacked up van made with cheap, under engineered and bad parts. We have a fleet of 10 year old 400000kms plus Hiluxes and Landcruisers which we were hoping to retire and swap out for these ivecos but that will never happen but the Hiluxes come to the rescue regularly. We will be lucky if the ivecos see 100000kms. Do yourself, your family and your pocket a favor and stay clear of this Fiat Punto on steroids.

[@tomkelly3896]

Thanks for the tip....i was getting ready to buy one🤠✌😎🤓

[@masaallen1009]

Unimog is a work vehicle. This Iveco is a daily driver light utility vehicle. It's not meant to be a heavy work vehicle like the Unimog. I'd like one for hauling wood and taking kids to town possibly groceries.

[@nyazam5546]

LA CAJA DE VELOCIDADES YA TIENE UNA PEQUEÑA FUGA DE ACEITE. BUEN DISEÑO DEL CAMION

[@ernestrodriguez4659]

What an impressive vehicle. Will it be available in the U. S.?

[@drongojonkins8945]

But how does it go pulling a hook turn in Melbourne CBD?

[@NathanElcoate]

Yes please.

[@bosse641]

Cool.

[@atmm89]

add blue try to find that stuff out the bush, near impossible in WA, great off road so long as you stay close to towns, great vehicle except for the add-blue that you must have or the vehicle will not go

[@johnprice5784]

2/3 distilled water to 1/3 urea so just pee in the tank in an emergency and add some boiled water. LOL :)

[@zackmack4712]

Such an issue lol 18 litres of adblue per 10,000 km... give or take

[@musiccylinderK6]

Make sure you get your facts straight when going into (slightly!) technical stuff. A locked differential doesn't split torque 50-50, an *open* one does that. A locked differential ensures same rotational speed of axles, avoiding having all "speed" going to a wheel off the ground (100% locked).

[@saphserg5221]

hmm that 1 to 1000 gunshot creek test up in cape york?

[@RetroWolf13]

I want this.

[@arnoldbaldonado5112]

Might be a good comparison with GAZ Trackmaster!

[@noelkavanagh3507]

Be interesting to know how much it would cost.

[@B61Mod12]

Forums paint the picture that these are unreliable and suffer multiple structural cracks and failures in Australian off road conditions. Such a shame. No point doing something If you don’t do it properly!

[@manofausagain]

Will get you there but not back. Parts availability a shambles. There is a reason mining companies are not buying them anymore.

[@jamesmcmillan2656]

Agree

[@unimike]

See how low the axels are in the way of everything. So, 1.Unimog and 2. Portal Axels

ahahahahahahaha

Only small puddles- it has no articulation.

You can put 37 tyers on them then go up in vic high country pulling 33 inch tyers out lol the greens have won and yet there wasnt even a fight to stop them now no 4x4 in vic

[@maverick2242]

I’d like to see that drive the telegraph road to cape york and who has the balls to attempt the telegraph pole bridge, barley wide enough for a 70s landcrusier or take it up to the Vic high country, does it have grappling hooks shooting out the sides for lean in that terrain good luck following a 70up there and staying panel dent free and or self recovery if she tips on her side! it does look capable in certain terrain but I’d also like to see some basic review showing you or someone changing a tire for us! do an oil change for us! replace an axle or bearings, do that on the side of the track on your own not in a workshop then show me how good it is. not hating! these are just some basics any person seriously touring or off roading should be able to do to there vehicle esp if doing outback routes in Aussie.👍

[@michaellarkin8049]

Theres vids of these doing it now mate

[@petermcdonough4342]

Canadian Military bought the license to build these in Canada in the nineties. I helped trial them. It was a complete pile of crap. Underpowered, axels constantly breaking, hard on fuel (diesel), getting stuck in mud puddles. Canada still bought them. They must have improved a lot but I doubt it. I agree with the previous poster, get a Unimog.

[@symmetry08]

now, this is 2019

[@kylegoldston]

When are they coming up as military surplus?

[@Alby_Torino]

Probably because Canadian are not good in assembling cars. In any case this is 3.0 L engine is everything but undepowered

[@mandataruu8685]

this is a afordable unimog, that why they no name for it, daily its a van.. this can be unimog for sure, unimog its a smal powerfull utility machine with strong design and rear bena.. its a cheaper unimog.. afordable one for industries

That 4x4 system looks insanely hard to operate

[@MrJohann64]

Now is it 4x4 or 4WD with 30/70% power differential? It becomes 4x4 when you lock the centre diff, no? And it is a mighty fine truck that!!

[@Drivecomau]

+MrJoe64 It's a full-time four-wheel drive. It can send up to 70 per cent of torque to the rear wheels with all differentials unlocked.

[@mandataruu8685]

this is 5 tone , and with bena and utility kit from factory with front utlity plate to mount some snow plow its another 1 tone, so its comparable with unimog..

[@zakinfanti7575]

WOW! But I will still stick with my land Rover

[@watannen]

funny how in europe there are trucks smaller than that thing and they call it a car. Dude that is a BIG VAN cut in half

[@drboyton1]

Just make sure you take a spare transfer case wherever you go.

[@ozjado]

There is a diy fix for the circlip issue in the transfer.. I know it shouldn't be a issue in the first place but I'd probably do the mod just to have one of these

[@mikekay213]

That center of gravity tho..

[@Drivecomau]

+Mike Kay Centre of gravity the height of a Kia Rio.

[@Alock94]

On the roof

[@peglor]

Not sure how they claim a 100:1 reduction - one lever is 1:1.3, the second, for the split second it's in focus, is 1:3, that's 1:3.9 reduction total. You'd still need more than a 1:25 reduction in 1st gear to get to 100:1.

[@ZhaoxinXue]

Transfer case offroad low: 1:3.866, gear box 1st gear: 5.373, diff lock ratio: 4.87. This gives you 101.16

[@ashfordchege]

consider a head to head with the unimog U430

[@bestamerica]

' cool iveco... how about unimog

[@susumukawamoto2924]

What does it cost?

A bit late to the game guys, this is not a new vehicle, 4x4 Australia reviewed this in December 2015.

[@Drivecomau]

+Daniel Warnock Yeah, that'd be the old one. This was released in August.

[@DarkMatter1992]

I noticed it's had a face-lift and a slight improvement to fuel economy (16.1L/100km vs 15.0L/100km). But apart from that, I don't think much else has changed.

[@Drivecomau]

+Daniel Warnock It's now a Euro6 engine and the interior is completely different.

[@briank5798]

take my money.

[@stephendavidson5387]

shame about the transfer box problems

[@johncanalese588]

Yes, and Iveco doesn't want to acknowledge it! if you're referring to the trial and tribulations of Don Incoll then others should check it out at goingbush.com/iveco4.html and judge for themselves. Don loves the vehicle but NOT the Transfer Case nor the Brakes!

[@frankguernier2280]

I have had my twin cab Iveco Daily 4x4 for four and a half years now and have logged up 55000kms. Other than the transfer case breather blocking up causing a mild oil leak through a seal it's been perfect. A little rough on the ride as was to be expected but probably no worse than as Toyota troopie but I love it. Like Don I tow a mid size caravan at times and with the van brakes adjusted properly I have had no troubles on hill descents etc.. Re the transfer case circlip popping out I think there is only one reported and that was on the Canning Stock Route. I recall Iveco Aust did a service call and replaced the box on the track. I use the truck as a daily driver to work in Sydney and on weekends use it for towing a boat or caravan or beach fishing. Every where I park it creates conversation from all ages. 99% positive. People just love it or want one. I plan on doing the Canning mid 2020 and will prep it further for the trip. I usually start hankering for a "next vehicle " at the five year mark but this one has me. Stacks of room inside. Wide enough for me to sleep almost straight accross the back seat if I need to. If you want one you had better buy now because the next model is going "soft" Cheers Frank. G.

[@walter777smith6]

What the price ?
