I just saw this for the first time. Cool pic. Is that a Unimog?  What did they use if for?  Looks like a 4-wheeler’s dream.

Unimog as pictured:  Mercedes-Benz 4X4 Crew Cab Pickup.  The difference between a Unimog and a Ford/Chevy/Dodge/Nissan/Toyota pickup?  One needs a step ladder to load anything into the bed!  However, unloading is likely a breeze as it most probably tips.
