>I think the intent for Freightliner is to market the Mog for industrial
applications and not really an 'SUV' product.One would have to be a glutten
for punishment to use a Mog as a daily driver for the grocery store.Even the
'U' series doesn't have the plushness to appeal to the overpaid,to rich to
think,trendy setting, destructive,domestica.
>Here in the Canadian North Unimogs are used by several companies and
municipalities for snowplowing,firefighting,rescue,on the train terminals etc.
>Of all the individual owners I know they use them for mobile
welding,snowplowing,rescue,hauling,treeplanting,farms and only 2 guys have
thier rigs setup for extreme expedition and rockcrawling.

P.S.The Unimog is also one of the most if not the most efficient vehicle of
its type in terms of longevity between repairs and fuel consumption.
