Usually when we feature the Unimog on this site, they are of the older variety that are used as absolute outdoor workhorses. Snowblower, construction equipment, military special forces and the list goes on. With six-figure price tags when new, these beasts were often overkill and over-budget for the majorty of the population who need work trucks. But for those who need a massive truck that offers everything and more, this U500 in Texas spec’d out with a massive box and a handful of goodies inside, this Mog should be right up your alley.

If this was just a standard U500 with a truck bed on it, this thing would still be extremely impressive. It has enough torque to pull a house off it’s foundation but still can cruise down the highway at 65mph. It’s comfortable, has air condition, visibility is second to none while not being so large that you can get into spaces that regular semi-trucks can not. The real winner here is the custom box made by Oxford Specialist Coachbuilders out of Oxfordshire, England. The auction description is vague at best, but by the looks of it this box was setup to be a mobile support station for a motorsports team.
This pricing on this Mog has been a little bizarre. A few months ago it was listed at $249,900 then out of nowhere dropped to $138,900. Now it’s at $134,900. If I were to guess, this is probably on consignment with the seller judging on the massive price drop and real lack of information about it. If that’s not the case, someone brought a real giant elephant into their inventory that probably isn’t going anywhere fast. As far as the price goes, it’s well worth the almost $135,000, if you actually need something like this.
