good offroad, but also very comfy on the road, at high speeds, you are actually able to talk to each other! try that in a tatra, you'll have to scream! also ver very good fuel management! top notch trucks!
from what i see ost of the offroad traction these emrcs have comes from the torsion of the chassis. with a loaded tipper,for instance, that torsion is gone... well. for this matter i would still go to tatra. and let the mercs rule the asfalt :)
Wow, I'd forgotten all about this video! I wish they had some shots of them doing this with a couple tons of load on them, to see if they still do so well! I guess they figure that the average customer won't be doing anything quite this extreme, so it doesn't matter! It's pretty cool that the frame seems to be an integral part of the suspension; I know that's true of all trucks, but this is extreme! I wonder how much of that twisting it can take before it causes cracks or fatigue?
I guess no one qould buy a Tatra in Germany for business use. There are just to few workshops for them here. And the MAN SX is a real offroadtruck as well.
I don't say that Tatra doesn't make good trucks, but I don't think they will be very successfull here.
Nice! I want one! Both front axles are steering axles, right? It definetly needs some more weight on the back...the front is sinking into the mud with the single tire, while the rear duals just float along on top.
@justforever96 looks like its got super singles on the front.. meaning they are as much as a third wider than regular singles it would be worse if they were the regular wheels =]
tatra is a original off road truck company but clearly u can see that mercedes just owned them as they have more experience making vehicles where tatra just make trucks
buen video ,pero yo quisiera que pusieran videos de los mercedes 2624 de los trompudos de los viejitos que eran motores om355 una chulada de camiones ,saludes desde El Salvador

These are really nice... First, they are Mercedes....
The drivers' of these videos are only truck drivers, not off roaders...
I'm making off road and know how should the machines are used....
If the drivers of the videos were off roaders, all will be terrific, beleive me...

nice but if you want a really powerful offroadtruck, take the tatra 813 or 815.

It was designed as All Wheel Drive, not as OFFROAD Truck. If you want Offroad Truck, take Mercedes Zetros.
