For all Unimog fan boys - did you actually watch the whole video??? LOL. at 1:23 that thing just got stuck and couldn't overcome 5 inch hill and had to back off... LOL

[@elliotthebrave7296]

It is superior to a Hummer if he has the right tire pressure and the right tires on - ding dong. Hummer cant crawl rocks with that ground clearance... 🦄10 vs 🐑0 😆😆

[@ArfurFaulkesHake]

You are aware that this Unimog had road tires fitted, are you?

[@Massaliotis]

We never see the Hummer give a take at the same part of the mud road. Its video is cut right before, and it seems that it also gets stuck.

[@skylined5534]

@Newroad Adventures Found the Hummer fangirl 😂 Did YOU watch the whole video? The unimog easily ascended up a steep, deeply rutted terrain with bumps many times higher than you perceive and actually makes it no sweat. On semi road tyres at that! 😂 Still waiting for the clip of the hummer doing the same route and completing it, the Unimog did 😉

[@rumaabba8875]

That humvee didnt use specific tire for rock & muddy road. Plus unimog using american offroad innovation too 😅 , btw did they will produce rockcrowler too and call it unimog 😅😅😅😅 c0mm13nazi has no actual researcher & innovator 🗑🏚

i agree with the comments on here 2 completely different vehicles for what they do. still prefer the unimog though.

+Danijel Scepanovic both did well - trust me

[@NewRoad]

Totally agree! It is much easier to break the truck than make it through the trail with not damage!

[@jayxtreme6]

Well the unimog does beat the H1 in every technical aspect. You can't beat the mog's torque tube suspension + coilovers. The hummer loose all its axle articulation because of its portal axles, but the torque tubes on the mog allow it to keep its axle articulation, despite also having portal axles. Also, the mog's chassis was designed to flex, further increasing axle articulation. The mog is really one hell of a vehicle.

Mark Berry I guess you haven't seen an Unimog close, have you?

[@3204clivesinclair]

I had a couple of weeks experience with a Unimog in 'proper' off-road conditions (similar to the video). Nothing stopped it. Great drivetrain, good tyres and ground clearance like no other. Probably the best 4 wheeled vehicle off road. If you want better, get more wheels, or a wide (LGP) tracked vehicle like a BV206.

[@Karl-Walter]

And if the drivers were skilled, the Unimog driver would send a postcard to the Hummer driver, asking if he could start the fire for the barbeque, or if he still needs time . . .

[@friedrichruff5357]

Load 2 tons on each of the two vehicles and then drive up there again. For one thing, the Unimog wasn't built to show off on Hollywood Boulevard.

[@beauty.of.the.struggle]

Neither was the H1? lol

[@knutakseth4625]

I own two Hummer H1, one for 23 years. They are the most reliable vehicles I have ever owned. Only major component to break was a T-case 15 years ago. I have been all over the Western US and have always been able to go wherever I wanted, on or off road. They are reasonable comfortable on the highway and just awesome off road. I have done trails all over the Rockies and the Rubicon in California. Nothing can touch a Hummer on a side hill because of its low CG or on soft sand due to the CTIS. I have travelled with Unimog friends and they are great for off road, but dangerous on sidehills. They really can't be driven on the highway for any length time - too slow and noisy.

[@NewRoad]

I am with you on your points

[@diecksl]

Back in the day Mercedes advertised the Unimog with the slogan "Unimog - Getting stuck where others can't even reach"

[@grokranfan8578]

With a skilled driver (the guy from the video is not) the Unimog would call that trail "Autobahn"

[@samuraiyasuke3709]

100 per cent agree. I have been a mog owner in East Africa since the 1980's. No other offroader can challenge a skilled driver in a mog. No one can. Thanks to it's German Engineering and quality.

I actually own a H1 and it’s an awesome off road vehicle I’ve taken it thru mud, snow, sand, crawling, ice roads and I even crossed a 5 foot deep river in AZ and I’ve never had to use my winch but I would think the Unimog is superior and I’m sure much more expensive.

[@thomas1942]

Unimogs are just tractors with equal sized wheels. And depending on the transmission you can have a dozen or more gears. Pop it in the low granny gear and it will happily walk itself up the mountain. I don't think the H1 was primarily designed for this type of terrain. If the Army needed a vehicle that primarily needed to walk up the side of a mountain, they would have designed it that way. H1 & Unimogs are both extremely fun vehicles to own, and are both very capable. I just don't think these type of comparisons really show the strength of both vehicles. If it was a race across the desert, the H1 would win hands down.

[@craigthescott5074]

Stell mal 2 Tonnen Nutzlast auf den Hummer oder hänge mal einen Anhänger dran. Dann wird der Unimog den Hummer auch in der Wüste hinter scih stehen lassen.

The Unimog has more ground clearance, but, even so, the HumVee rolled right over a rock the size of a beach ball. Either one of these is awesome.

[@tosgem]

Quite different vehicles with different roles, it's hard to compare them. The unimog had to turn on its diff lockers, that's the only reason it stopped. The Hummer is faster on the flat, personnel carrier, heavier, lower. The Unimog is slower, for carrying loads, higher centre of gravity. EDIT the unimig has PTO's, agricultural equipment attachments like front end loaders, fork lifts, back hoes. It's a tractor on steroids

[@gustavmeyrink_2.0]

Fully laden with 1ton payload the Hummer has a top speed of 55mph. Fully laden the Unimog U5000 weighs in at 27500lb/12.5ton (payload 16500lb or 7.5 ton) one of 60mph.

Ok everyone is saying hummer was at a disadvantage or unimog is the best of all time. They were made for different applications. A hummer was meant to be a light attack vehicle in the desert. The unimog is meant to be a tough, unstoppable heavy-carry truck in the woodlands and swamps of Europe.

[@zpetar]

Humvee is not attack vehicle. Humvee is HMMWV - High Mobility Multipurpose Wheeled Vehicle. It is utility vehicle with some added fighting capabilities. And it is not made to be used only in desert. Against enemy equipped with simplest RPGs Humvee is useless. Luckily US never had to use it against competent and/or well equipped enemy, just like any other weapon.

[@HrHaakon]

@@zpetar A normal RPG will not go through a tank, but it will fuck up any IFV and AFV that exists, and those are much more numerous than tanks.

And yet the Hummer is no faster top speed wise than the Unimog being able to carry 10 ton payload compared to the Hummers 0.9t.

Both are a bit big and heavy IMHO. Jeep TJ with 3" lift and good tires would get the job done nicely. But I'd take the Unimog over the Humvee.

Well we don't know if the Hummer completes it because it was cut short when it lost traction. For those observant enough to notice, the Humvee began losing traction at the large rock on the right. That is where the video cut to the Mog, which also lost traction at that point but then powered past it.

[@wmden1]

I am not experienced with either vehicle, and don 't really care one way, or the other. The Mog had considerable more ground clearance and bigger tires, but the Hummer came up the rocks, with less slippage. Why did they cut the Hummer off when it started over the large hump on the left, and switch to the Unimog, for a lot longer, and until the end of the video? Fair is fair.

[@thomabb]

I was serving as a mechanized combat engineer when our unit replaced M151A2 Jeeps with M998 HMMWVs. It was heartbreaking how unreliable and incapable the new platform was in the field. It's hard to believe the military stuck with that platform all these years.

4 People is a lot? The M998 can transport 2+8 Soldiers, the Unimog can 3+8 (2/3 with comfort, 8 without comfort. In my time at the german army, we had a training with the US Army and change the cars, on the end of this day, they wouldnt give us our Unimog back

[@gustavmeyrink_2.0]

Off-road the only competition to a Unimog is a Pinzgauer. The Hummer is useful militarily if you want to traverse flatish deserts at speed. Germany and Switzerland haven't got those, they've got mountains instead and then you really want either a Mog or a Pinzgauer. The Pinzgauer is about as fast as a Humvee with 100 (6X6) or 110 (4x4) vs 113km/h) but has a 2.5 ton payload to the Humvees 1.1t. The Moggy is slower at 93km/h but it can carry 7.5ton! Humvees were expensive! The US Army paid $220 000 for each! The Unimog looks like a bargain now.

[@PzKdt76]

Comparing fuel consumption onroad, the MOG takes a bit less, 11 miles/gallon vs 8 miles/gallon of the humvee.

[@Buckfast76]

I've had the pleasure of testing the original Hummer back in 91. It was an awesome beast. However, the unimog and the Hummer can't really be compared in my opinion. One is built solely for being a universal tool that happens to have wheels and portal axles. The other is an awesome compromise between a car, a truck and a gun platform made from parts that are easily obtainable if anything should break. Yes, they are both awesome off road vehicles. Yes, they both have 4 wheels and an engine. But that is pretty much where the similarities end.

[@NewRoad]

+Alf Torp. Agreed, they were built for different purposes and both are awesome. But it is interesting to see what both can do in similar condition. Both did great.

[@robertd4468]

Unimog please. A huge problem that most people don’t discuss about the Hummer is the small fuel capacity that they have. It’s a 190hp / 380tq vehicle that gets about 8mpg with a 25 gallon tank. It’s grossly underpowered. It’s very capable but that engine is gutless for a vehicle capable of 12,500 GVW.

[@brandoncrimmins6296]

Not necessarily... They are 2 completely different vehicles. The Unimog is more a kin to a road going farm tractor. In fact lots of people all over the world use them as such. Whereas the H1 is designed specifically to be much more nimble with a far lower center of gravity. With gears and portal boxes at each wheel that give it the unique abilities it has while off-roading. You know...things like being able to climb vertical ledges. And no I'm not suggesting the Unimog can't do these things. We know it can. And does them quite well. I'm just noting that they are completely different vehicles.

When it comes to terrain operations they only choose Mercedes... and that's for a GOOD reason.

The hummer has a higher end gear ratio and on 1 climbing condition momentum/velocity was required which did beat the Mog since without required speed in a shorter distance it bored itself into the ground. It is not a fair test considering a mog is a true utility beast for many situations and a Hummer has better gearing for the road/highways, not to mention a step up for leisure. Both great vehicles but I favour the Mog myself due to it's superior crawling abilities and ruggedness going over rocks far more difficult than the ones in this video.

I don't know why this is so hard for people to figure out. The vehicle with greater ground clearance and bigger tire contact patch will always win, so long as you can keep it from tipping over. If you take out the big rocks the H1 would be able to climb the hill faster than the Uni because it's a hell of a lot more stable.

Is this really a fair comparison? I like both..but the Hum vee is a large Suv type vehicle, while the Mog is a proper truck. For me, it would take an awful lot to persuade me to have the H1 - Unimog every time - if only for its world wide reputation.

[@scottwilkins]

Um, where did you learn about vehicles? The Hummer is built on a full truck like frame and even comes in a truck format. Just because this one had a full shell doesn't make it an "SUV" by American modern consumer ideals. Both vehicles are highly capable. And, I doubt you'd even know how to operate either one...

[@Pilot545]

From the looks of many of the comments, people are confusing the latest Hummers (which are just Tahoe/Suburban copies) with the original H1 (which the military still uses). The H1 is an PHENOMENAL off-roader. THAT'S what it was designed to do for the US military. I have personally driven one at full throttle across the desert southwest in a Baja California race kind of way and it handled EVERY jump and every dive without any fuss. Although, I did lose the 2 water cans on the back...which I quickly replaced with someone else's before anyone noticed :)

[@NewRoad]

Agree - lots of confusion..... US military did not use Hummer H1 - they use Humvee. Hummer H1 was the first in line of Hummers and based on Humvee built by AM General. Hummer H2 is the Hummer based on GM truck rather than AM General Humvee . It was built in next door plant where Humvee and Hummer H1 were built by AM General but owned by GM. Hummer H3 is Hummer based on Canyon/Colorado platform. It is Hummer evolution (version 3) and was tailored for wider consumer base. In my opinion - it is more important to look at specific capabilities rather than what it is based on, on what make/model it is.

[@kelvin869]

Unimog any day of the week. Just look at the clearance. Enough said.

[@DieselDanZ51]

First off a lot of these "video offroaders" have never driven either. I am quite familiar with the HMMWV (22 yrs Army mechanic retired). Second, the HMMWV was designed as a MILITARY VEHICLE to operate in a TACTICALl environment. It wasn't designed to be the ultimate off-roader. It makes no sense to have a vehicle that can scale cliffs if non of your follow on vehicles (support) can get there. It was built to contract specs which include width, height, load capacity, ground clearance, gradient traverse, etc. That said it does quite well off road. I have had the privilege of driving a few Unimogs (including the Army's SEE and FLU version). The 'Mog is one step a way from a tractor, and very well versed off road. By the way, the Army SEE sucks as a excavator. The FLU sucks as a forklift too. I love both of these vehicles, but I'd take a Unimog for off-road play. But If I'm back in a warzone the HMMWV (or a new JLTV) would be a healthier choice.

Unimog had bad tires...of all the Offroad / Military tires this is the one most suited for road applications.Put on a Michelin XML or a Dunlop SP T9 and it will perform better. Although there was a great lack of commitment by the driver. Of course its crawling, but you need to hit the bumps with just the right momentum to make the tire hop over...same goes for the Humvee though. Both great cars. But Unimog was made for cargo transport and Humvee for personal transport, different approach in engineering.

as a german i have to say thats a bit unfair ! Unimog is a light truck and Hummer a Off Road military car. Better compare Hummer vs a Mercedes G class military .

[@BeeRich33]

This shit is absolutely LAUGHABLE. Hummers at best, are the tabloid stories of boy-town. Unimogs are a true legacy of manly accomplishment. A 1950 Mog laughs at today's Hollywierd vehicle designs. Mogs are a fine primary insight as to how as a species, should be, and have been, striving for the best.

[@roberts.wilson1848]

Unimog is underpowered, that is the simple cause. Although they are very capable for offroad, their primary intention for use is not this, hence the power train is not made for it. Get an unimog and give it correct power output for such use for it's size and then see results. Hummer on the other hand has a large enough engine, more in fact, hence it manages to get some obstacles . The ratio is completely different between power and size for these 2

[@craigthescott5074]

@@roberts.wilson1848 John the H1 is also very under powered until you get to the last year that had the duramax but that was only 1 year.

What people don't realise, in this video, Uni is at 60-70% of its capabilities. Hummer is probably close to 90.

[@NewRoad]

I have driven HMMWVs to hell and back. Could use more power. The 6.2 got the job done but even the 6.5 turbo wasnt enough. Have yet to drive a H1 Alpha with a duramax. Hurts when you get one airborne.

[@user-oldblindguyD]

I am a gear-head at heart. It never fails to amaze me that every time off-road machines are being shown, they run them through creeks, streams & rivers. This is drinking water for people downstream, wildlife along the whole length & spawning habitat for fish. Keep your oily, smelly, greasy rigs out of the water. You may need to drink that water to save your life from dehydration, to wash out a wound or to cook with. Stay well, friends.

[@aaronjohnmaughan]

At the very end of the video we get a quick glance of the Mog's tires . They look well worn indeed. On fresh rubber there would be no contest. That said, there is a difference in how you drive a HMMWV you bought versus one Uncle Sam lets you borrow. Most of the guys I served with drove them a bit more assertively.

[@abbeykroeter]

I find these comparisons kind of shaky, since going up a trail so variable, so organic is going to be different every time you lay a tire down. It even changes after somebody gone head of you just once, sometimes for the better, sometimes making it worse. Your tires are going to shift to slightly different grips by the inch, every time. In this particular test I noticed the Hummer slipped a bit and stopped, and the video cuts to the Mog. Then Unimog slips once and stops, you hear the airbrake, then they make good on a second attempt. Again, this is one of a thousand ways it could go, and it seems you need some 4 out of 5 runs or more to let us see more info or a bit more variables and possibilities. I have just an old Isuzu Trooper hahaha... a '99 with only aftermarket springs/shocks. I failed going up a very steep, moist trail in the desert (rare rain the day before), with crumbling earth caking up my mediocre off-road tires. I went back for one more try (my fourth)... after letting my pressure go from 35 to 30PSI, and taking a more dangerous but slightly different line, tires just had a foot to the right of the original track. I made it without much fuss from the Trooper at all. Looking back scared me, as I could hardly believe the steepness that stock old SUV just climbed, and some guys in a 4runner even cheered me as they slowly crept by realizing what I just did. You never know what might happen on just another run.

Two different missions. Unimog is an off road monster. Hummer is a multipurpose all terrain transport and weapons platform. Low profile. High towing capacity. Heavy payload. High mine survivability. Not really designed for heavy off roading in tight quarters. It's too wide anyway. I drove one in Okinawa and it wouldn't even fit down some of the streets. But that same truck was driven in 6' of breaking surf the same day and didn't even break a sweat. Both great vehicles for what they were designed for.
