This Beastly Unimog RV Will Take You Off-Road

This post was updated on March 15th, 2024

The Mercedes-Benz Unimog can take you on terrain that other vehicles can’t handle.  They were first introduced after World War II with permanent all-wheel drive and equal-size tires so they could be driven faster than regular farm tractors.

These vehicles have been used by the military, in agriculture, construction, and for tourism through jungles and on safaris.  You can also find them built out as RVs with everything you need to go off-road and boondock off-the-grid.

The Unimog is rarely seen in North America because of the different vehicle regulations and the shortage of places that sell them.  The few models seen here have been imported from Europe by independent dealers or off-road enthusiasts.  You’ll need to browse the Internet to find these vehicles for sale, like this one on Germany’s largest online vehicle marketplace Mobile.de.
