I used to swerve around my hallucinations, now I drive right through them.

That thing is sweet. They say only 3 passengers but it has 4 doors!Wonder how hard it'd be to get that baby into the US. Complete drool.

The Mog in the picture is a U3-5000, not a U20. It's a Doka (doppelkabine, or crewcab). The U500 has a lot of the same features and you can buy them in the US new, if you can still find one.

I didn't know the U500 was even available in crew cab. Very cool. Better get back to working the day away to sometime have enough $ for one 'em.
Found a U20 pic here (albeit CG):

It's not available w/crewcab except very ugly factory approved aftermarket. I wouldn't get it, it uses up too much wheelbase for the camper. But the U500 comes with the important stuff: EAS, working/crawler gears, CTIS, hydraulics....I didn't know the U500 was even available in crew cab. Very cool. Better get back to working the day away to sometime have enough $ for one 'em.

The U20 is a U300 with shortened wheelbase. The article linked tells the story.
...a gross vehicle mass of 16,500 or 18,700 lb...
...wheelbase has been shortened to 106 in
...four-cylinder 4.25-L turbodiesel with 148 hp
...an all-steel cab...space for up to three people.
...Euro-4 emissions compliant
I doubt Freightliner will be interested in the U20. Sigh...

U20?
A Unimog that doesn't seem like a Unimog to me.
The U20 has a Mitsubishi Fuso Canter all steel cab.
