I feel like I should be given a certificate or something

Just going to correct something Doug said. Unimogs are made by Mercedes-Benz but It started life as it’s own brand. Unimogs have a really interesting history Doug doesn’t go into. Unimogs were first built as the jack of all trades farming vehicle in post-war Germany. They later started commercial use and in the 50s, Unimog was bought out by Mercedes-Benz. Unimogs are honestly just Mercedes subsidiary making big trucks with the Mercedes-Benz badge on them.

aay i work for the company that made the air brakes. Meritor

I've always known Dig Doug to be a clown, but this time was way too much for me.

In Austria every town has a Unimog for snow clearing. And when everything is shut down and YOU are the one clearing the roads for everybody in deep freezing temperatures, having 12 heat settings is probably a good thing as you plow through high snow drifts. They are orange though, for best visibility, and have an orange rotating light on the roof so you can see them coming from afar.

I really can't stand Doug nervously making fun of every normal function this vehicle has. It's pure cringe!

I called my girlfriend a Unimog the other day. She beat me up pretty badly.

Indonesia hadir 👍

11:26 i think thats just to illustrate the heated dangly truck mirror, I thought you'd know Mercedes better by now doug! lmao

make an amg version

“tayer” - doug demuro

man giggles at german utility vehicle for 40 minutes

The Light Bulb Button is for additional safety lighting. For example used in a Fire Truck mentioned before.

U need to review the newest model!

STOP LAUGHING!!

im pretty sure one of those two buttons was the PTO switch, and the other one that looked like a tether ball was a side mirror defrost

unimog here expensive, unimog there is like the ford escort here. cheap.

Of course its listed for sale in CONCORD MA! Home of many reclusive billionaires with obvious apocalyptic toys... (i know the area well)

Why the blood on the steering wheel?

you should probably have a modified weekend score calculator for stuff you'd use for like off-roading like jeeps where acceleration isnt the focus

31:08

11:28 Heated mirrors?

6:55 happy Cummins noises

DOUG!! you need to do your research Homie!. You missed the quirkiest feature ever!. This car can convert from Left-hand to Right-hand drive on the fly!

It would have been nice to see it drive from outside. Common quit being miserly and hire someone for external shots for occasions such as these.

Size does matter.

This is a true German quality, not those of crappy Mercs made in the US

American mister bean 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 i like the way he talk.

15:12 are you sure about that? The Unimog is a bit special but in most European commercial diesels the green simply signifies the "economy band"; this is the most fuel efficient rev range to keep the engine in. So whilst you shift gears to try and keep it in the green, it's not a case of "wait until you are on the yellow then shift".

11:46 Funnily enough, they also provide English owners manuals for the UK market Unimogs, which have been sold here since the 1950s.. Just in case anyone is watching this in America, thinking "Hey I'd love to import an earlier or later Unimog but I don't speak German". Fun fact: the Unimog is such a versatile vehicle that in the UK it doesn't neatly slot into one particular vehicle category. So, when you buy one new, the specification you choose affects what licence you need to drive it, the tax categories and speed limits applicable to you despite it being the same basic vehicle underneath. Choose some options "just in case" and all of a sudden you need a commercial licence and you can't drive at more than 40mph even on a motorway.

26:45 now watch the GAZ Volga video by Doug and see how he reacted when a 1970's deisgned car didn't have rear seatbelts

The guage cluster looks like it's from lada niva

I JUST REALIZED HE'S NOT WEARING TWO T-SHIRTS AND CARGO SHORTS...THIS IS SUCH A BIG MOMENT IN HIS CAREER

The sockets outside front and rear are for hydraulics and with this transmission you can block change by pushing the gear selector forward twice.

So... does Doug have a Class B license? Pretty sure where I live, what with its size, mass, and air brakes, you'd need a Class B.

The front and rear connections are hydraulic, not electrical.

hes so excited with this one lol

Fix a camera looking forward as well to show the driving view

"Tires Hanging On a Pole" button = heated mirrors

One of the very rare videos where Doug isn’t wearing shorts.

Rather have full manual

2.4k hipsters disliked the video. Mercedes-Benz. The best or nothing.

Tire on a pole is the heated mirrors... the light switch is for strobe lights if the vehicle is equipped with them... the start stop is for the hydraulic system that the vehicle is equipped with, there are hydraulic ports on the front of the vehicle... almost 90% of those buttons/switches are not factory, aftermarket fabricators will apply whatever the customer needs to get the job done... from farming, emergency services to public maintenance departments. Particularly Snow and Ice removal as a snow plow truck and sand/salt spreader... the really interesting thing about this truck to me is the triple differential lock. the fact that the front wheels can be diff locked is really interesting... the back little circles... are not POWER they are hydraulic... that fuel tank will probably get you maybe one full day of constant highway driving... with an average MPG about 6 to 8... reason for no back window is the bed of the truck does not have a "headache" rack to stop shifting loads from penetrating the cab... the original bed/body would have had a "headache" rack... Again the outlets in the front are not electrical they are hydraulic... TLDR this is a commercial vehicle... not a pickup truck, any similarities are mute.

My uncle migrated from germany to rural new zealand southern island in the mid 80s with his family and he could afford to bring two ship cargo containers of goods with him. One was for his and the families household stuff and the other one was just for his unimog. :D

Those outlets aren't electric, they're hydraulic. Great vid!

Used a lot by utility companies here in Scotland. Obviously good for driving off-road to fix electric supply, telecom poles etc. How many times does Doug say 'Unimog'??!

not sure why you keep laughing and snickering at everything .....if you have a large farm or where a 1 ton or 3 ton is used...this is the best of a pick up or 1 ton world......its versatile btw "the button that has the tire hanging off"...is the heated mirror/s.......

Can you stop with the annoying giggles please

I assume that the interior rear section of the Unimog crew cab was designed by the same committee that worked on the Volga Gaz 24-10.

It is funny to see him review and wonder about this vehicle. In germany you see an Unimog almost every day, it is totally normal :-D

Jeez Doug ease up on the cars and bids we get it.

It’s so cool to see how Mercedes have changed through the years

Unimog reporting in. Decepticons, mobilize! Hail Megatron!

Coolest Unimogs are, where you can slide the whole stearing column from the left to the right side of the cabin

This isn’t a pickup. It’s a mega truck

Not luxury

Hey Doug hope you enjoyed your time in Massachusetts! Nice too see you this way!

3.9 million subscribers and he's kinda clueless about so many things. That's kinda sad.

It's not a truck. It's a tractor. It always has been a tractor

Actually the outlets in front and in the back it isn't for electricity but to attach hydraulic tools! Nice video 👍

dude... 11:30 ''tire hanging from a rope thing'' ??? DUDE... I BET that's the HEATED MIRRORS!!!! :)

If it has air brakes then you're not allowed to drive it without your airbrake license

Doug would probably be just as excited about a Mercedes Econic garbage truck.

ein typischer Autoverkäufer - grauenhafter Plauderer...

The allies trying to restrict german technology after ww2 heavily restricted tractors, agriculture equipment and everything else....their loophole? Suburban warfare. Mogs go back to the late 50s I believe. Used to come with a PTO as standard equipment

I think that "power connector" is just hydraulics

The strange button who looks like a tire on a rope, is the mirrow heater Kind regards from Germany

Lmfao Doug that’s not a pickup truck, that’s a semi-truck

wish i had one.

Do a sherp

It s funny, what everything is funny for this crazy American. 😀 It s not a big pick-up, but a small truck/lorry. And truck in this video is just a half of a truck. Second part are different technical attachments. With them this truck is able to do almost everything you are able to imagine.

dang, the bid is about 70k over what i'm willing to give.

Anyone know what the powerplant is? Doug said i6 turbo diesel. I'm assuming it's a cummins or cat?

Dude, those are hydraulic couplers not electrical connections.

14:00 Preshifting has nothing do to with people not being able to coordinate properly. Preshifted gears allow for achange with minimal loss in power. So if you pull a heavy load the transmission will transfer the load nearly constantly. As a result you loose less speed.

Now next time review a reagular european transport truck

This gets a 10 out of 10 in the gitty factor category.

30:33 you can see everything on the planet :o))

The cab is too expose, The truck should have a longer nose!

The “power” outlets, are hydraulic ports. Not really providing “electricity”

Doug has 3.91M subscribers but still doesn't know what a heated side mirror switch is

spam the zero button! lol

How is a suspension seat a quirk... Just about semi-truck, bus and larger van have suspension seats. Driving all day on stiff suspension is torture on your back, so it's not a luxury... but a necessity! My company extra long Sprinter comes with a suspension seat, climate control, rear camera and automatic for optimum safety and efficiency. An irritated and stressed driver who's hot and has a bad back is not gonna give it their best. But give the driver their necessary comfort and they will happily rank up those miles! PS: The hanging tire is heated side mirrors and the funny light thing is for auxiliary lights (light bar, sirens, etc) The joystick pannel is for other auxiliary functions (snow plow, street cleaning equipment, farming equipment, etc)

Can I drive it to school?

The tire tether ball button is your mirror heat

I believe it's pronounced "Lots-a-Smog."

@29:25 it is hydraulic hook-ups, not electrical.

Whyyyy u be laughing?? There's nothing funny in reviewing a car

Maaan do i just hate how you speak...

Now you should check out a Semi Truck, maybe the newest Volvo VNL :P

Something Doug didn’t seem to know is that all UNIMOGs have the ability to be either LHD or RHD, and you can easily change it - you release some levers, flip the entire dash up, and then the steering, gauge cluster and pedal cluster, all one unit mounted on tubular rails, simply slides from side to side.

Those aren’t electric outlets, they’re air lines.

Its a truck you need truck license to drive it in Europe, tip for braking you have engine brake on the left lever with two positions... and to say "the most insane car I ever drive" is don't know what to say

Doug what’s so damn funny

The interior is beat up. The vehicle, inside and out, is dirty as fuck (coffee stains on the steering wheel). The windshield is held in place by a blob of sealant. WTF? Did you stumble on this guy in a parking lot and figured «I'm gonna make a vid»?

This guy can not contain his laughter

Doug ditched his cargo shorts and tshirt. Choosing his good jeans and sweatshirt to give this truck respect.

Have you never seen a tractor trailer, Doug? You’d lose your mind on how large THOSE are...

I drive one everyday at work, 2020 model, the one you're in is old af
