You're right. But 500s are good trucks. BLM uses some 500s and they've been great trucks. They threw it on the tilt table at NATC and it still leaned over something like 35 degrees before it wanted to tip. That's with a almost 1000 gallon tank and all the equipment on it.

Yea those are expensive. They are nice trucks though.

Pointing to the crawler gear lever

Only the 404 is gas. Don't forget the 1300 will carry 7000 pounds off road :). When I'm saying off road, I'm not saying a dirt road. It'll run the rubicon carrying that.

Also remember. Unimogs can do all of that off-roading with 100% payload. They don't have an off-road, on road payload. They just have a payload. They can carry their full payload off-road all of its life.

At least I did t say read the TM ;) 90 degrees is straight up. Te climbing ability is over 100% I think 110% where a hummer can climb 60%

Are you confused about the hand throttle on the red one? It's a 406 that's why it's in a different location than our trucks

Yea the hand throttle in my truck is in the exact same spot. It's kinda hard to imagine where the crawler gear lever is. It comes out underneath the forward revers and is bent so you can grab it on the right side of the forward revers lever. You push it forward to disengage and pop the forward...

On the 404? No it's right below the f-r lever. I'll take a picture tomorrow as the truck is parked at the in-laws. I would love to get a 1300. So nice power steering, diesel and nice cab :)

?

I think the lever he was pulling was the throttle. I could be wrong. On the 404 it is right beneath the f-r lever. You have to move the f-r lever into neutral in order to engage the crawler. I'll take a picture of mine and post it. I agree about seeing the light. :)

1st gear crawl ration is about 114:1. With crawler gears the 1st gear ratio is 347:1. To out that into perspective, the crawl ratio of a deuce is something like 65:1.
