Btw... German car companies built those monstrosities...
The Unimog U500 was more or less just a marketing gag, but the G63 was a real thing...
What’s supposed to be the deal with the Unimog? It’s an off-road capable military/commercial vehicle that is used pretty much exclusively for those kinds of things. I don’t know the guy in the video, but calling the version that he had “luxurious” was patently absurd: Things like climate control can be legally required if you want to tell your employees to work in these vehicles in extreme weathers (and: Germany can get quite hot as well) and didn’t match at all what he was showing. Also: Because it has an additional cabin to transport more people it is a family-version? WTF? The primary use-case for that is if you need to transport several employees to somewhere. Which is not at all an absurd thing if you are talking farmers/military/fire-brigade/construction/…
To be fair the G wagon is a ridiculous vehicle, truck bed or not
OP you just got pwned! n00b!! I can't believe the 6x6 is in GTA V and I've never driven it!!
