i'm reconsidering the used unimog as a option

[Gold Boy]

to continue on from...

subject to parts availability and maintainability.

i currently own and maintain a JDM diesel toyota land cruiser bj74, i was wondering how would the maintainability of a unimog compare to the bj74? how problematic is a mog from the maintenance point of view?

my applications for a unimog would be as follows

expedition camper vehicle

towing a 12000# [non expedition once a year move] travel trailer

commercial snow removal, ski hill maintenance.

one of the unimog models i'm considering [open to options] would be a U1500 doka .

so guys is all this viable or not?

thanks for your opinions!

Anything is viable with enough money behind it. What is your budget like?

[Gold Boy]

about 40000$ for the mog, and about 3000$ annual maintenance expenses.

Better go rob a bank for the rest of it. 1550 Doka are pricey. The picture above is of a 1550.

You do know that to drive an air brake equipped truck in BC you'll need an air endorsement on your license. Besides the air ticket for the Mog, to pull a trailer over 10K lbs, you'll need a class 1 (tractor-trailer) due to the air brakes.
