KERR,
I think that MB still makes a Crew cab unimog, they just aren't avalible in the U.S. The U3000/u4000/u5000 series of unimog has a very similar cab to the 90's SBU trucks (the grille changed) and I think I remember seeing a few that were Crew cabs, but these aren't legal for import into the U.S. Now, the U300/400/500 series Unimogs (which aren't supposed to be as good off road) marketed by freightliner in the U.S. aren't offered as a crew cab, but I couldn't tell you why (although I bet that it has something to do with the DOT and their restrictions). In a nut shell, the newest Crew Cab Unimog you will be able to get in the states will be in the mid or possibly late 90's, and VERY pricey.
Cheers,
Ben |

Ah... thanks... i was just wondering there is a 05 regualr cab mog on e bay... its "only" $109K lol...
What i was thinking was that people buy the biggest truck you can these day, those Ford F650 crew cabs and now they make that excursion looking F650. Those trucks bring $120-160K. Be awsome if you had the money to just call up a Mog dealer and be like i want a black crew cab mog on the biggest tires that fit

That would be cool to be able to just order a new crew cab Unimog, and if you had the time and $$$ you probably could get one anyway, but the import fees on it would be rediculous to get a registered importer to bring it in. I would think that Freightliner/Mercedes would be smart to offer a crew cab over here, it would probably sell better than the regular cab Mogs, especially with the prices of the f650's and such. I know I'd much rather buy a DoKa Unimog than a F650 or other equivalant.
Cheers,
Ben
