I’m also going to drive the Unimog and review the driving experience of one of the most unbelievable trucks in history. This Unimog U500 features a 2-speed 4WD transfer case, triple locking differentials, and 20-inch wheels linked to a central tire inflation system (CTIS).
Modifications include a custom crew cab setup by Plastisol that was installed by Gran Turismo in Los Angeles in 2015 along with a 3-way tilting dump bed that has a custom-built rollover bar with spare tire mount. The cab was finished in Mercedes-Benz Designo Platinum Metallic matte paint by Avio Coach after being installed.

Power comes from the “OM906LA” 6.4-liter turbocharged inline-6 diesel engine, which produces 260 horsepower and 700 lb-ft of torque. The engine spins all four wheels via an 8-speed automated pre-selector manual transmission and 2-speed 4WD transfer case.via/read more: carsandbids
