Mercedes Benz... made in Germany... you know, our mother land?
Weight is approx 9000lbs. With the camper box, it is 10,000lbs, It's a beast. Each tire and wheel weighs over 200lbs! Not quite like fuchs...
Here is a video clip of my truck at Mog Fest. It is the first truck you will see and then returns at 3:20 - 4:29

My neighbor has a very nice Pinzgauer 6x6 for sale...he wants 40K and my truck will run circles around his!
Actually parked next to a H1 hummer today that had some oversized tires and big blingy rims on it... never really noticed how flat the roofs are on those things!
The top of my truck is probably 3 feet taller than a hummer and I have twice the ground clearance! Way less than half the price, does not depreciate, and gets twice the fuel economy, classic car insurance, no emmissions, the absolute height of Mercedes Benz build quality...hmmm, now it all makes sense...
UNIMOG's are nicknamed... "official HUMMER recovery vehicle"
When I drive it to work, it is the conversation piece for the day with all of my clients. Everyone loves it! If I drive one of the Porsches, I get some who like them but I think the common belief is that it is kind of a snobby thing. That is until I explain that I restored the entire car, then it is OK...but the P-cars are not loved like the UNIMOG. Kind of wierd.
Here is a pic with the camper box...
