What is better Renault Goelette or Merc Unimog?

[CHIEFKILLERQUIST]

there both to bad ass to compare it would be foolish to think one is better than the other when there both old as dirt and 4x4 like no other old fashion farm tractor

let's see. renault is made in french-land. yes, mog is definitely the man.

[oibobbo]

you just don't get it do you...

if you' d actually read what i've been writing properly you might noticed that

I HAVE SAID THE MOG IS BETTER!

but that's not my point i'm talking about the quality to price ration..

the renault is a better deal for what you pay for.

Yr link to goelette is not in english. How could we follow if yr claim is correct.

Unimog, Hands down. Renault has open vulnerable driveshafts, no portal axles, less articulation, Looks to have a higher CG though I'm not sure, and it's a Renault. Mercedes was 50 years ahead of their time, and still are!

[oibobbo]

funny now you mention that, nato have stopped buying mogs....to replace them with renaults.

besides they aren't comparable, a unimog costs about four times as much to build and buy.

[JFinne9]

@oibobbo So a Mountainbike is best, since it's many times cheaper than a Renault. I'll put my Mercedes Unimog against a Renault any day!! Any vehicle can have a breakdown, but this video is asking which is better, and the Mercedes is, by a LONG shot, and all Nato needs is transport on dirt roads, hell they could use a fleet of garden variety SUVs or 4WD Vans.

[oibobbo]

i'm on about the price/quality ratio

a renault can cost as little as1000 euros

you'll be lucky to get a mog under 5000

for the money invested a renault is better.

capability whise a mog is better but you lose an arm and a leg for not much more...i have driven both vehicles and ,the main problem with the renault is you have little bottom end power because it's petrol.

so you have to floor it all the time.but petrol 404's are the same ...

[JFinne9]

@oibobbo Over the road or a dirt trail is one thing, but the Mog is far better capability wise, with much better clearance because of the Portals, more durable and there are many aftermarket companies supporting them so they can be easily modified as well. I have a Diesel and a Gas Mog, spent 2,500 USD and 7,000 USD respectively, both running, and the gas has good bottom end power, it's just not happy at high speed. And again if your arguing lower price then go for a Chevy 2500 box van W/4WD!

[oibobbo]

lol and where the hell would i get a chevy over here?

i didnt use them on trails,i was working for a ski company putting up pylons,on35°+ slopes (they didnt want helicopters for some stupid reason),obviously as you seem to want to bring other vehicles into the deal,the best was a lada...

[JFinne9]

@oibobbo: No, I'm making a point that this video is comparing two trucks, not price, but which is a better vehicle. And I feel that the Mog is by far a superior vehicle. As an owner of two and working on several, they are quite amazing vehicles. I'm not saying the Renault is rubbish, but I'll take the Unimog any day, and they can climb 100% grade (45º ) factory rating, with a load. I have pushed this near 110% without issue. (Even benz tests to 110%)

Bullshit

[HEINZUNIMOG]

at 6mpg thats a sweet way to save gass ..

[stronthoop88]

Pretty funny

[flight2k5]

this really doesnt prove anything. We all know Unimogs are way better than a Renault :-)
