Good question. I really don't know. Try asking ok benzworld. They are the mog gurus.

In the 7 years I've owned it, it hasn't cost much money. He may be talking about preventative maintenance which costs money on anything. The carbs are great. No issues. Just use gas treatment for ethanol. The tranny isn't designed to go 60-65 down the road. If you keep it below 50 you'll be ok...

It's a really nice truck. But 12000 is a little much for a 404. Not hating on him or his truck.

Also over engineering. A 404s axle shaft is maybe a millimeter smaller than an m35 shaft. A 404 is. 1.5 ton. The axle shaft on the 404 sees maybe 1/4 of the stress an m35 shaft does because of the portal box.

Like tenmogger said. Get a clean truck and the clutch will last a very long time.

I'm 6'4. I fit fine. How does it not shift well?

The 404 is the only mog where it is difficult to replace a clutch. The book says you need to remove the cab. But I've seen threads where people remove the engine by pulling it through the cab. The rest of the Mogs are easy to do a clutch change.

Any Unimog is superior to pretty much anything In our inventory. As far as being over engineered. That means it is so well designed that it's not going to fail often. The only major thing I have done to mine is replaced a bearing in the portal box. And that was my fault. I was driving the truck...

In Nevada it's registered as a Mercedes pick up. I think I pay 30 bucks a year. http://www.expedition-imports.com/c=PbbjYB9k531NmemyMuBvHSuD5/category/literature_and_videos.aunimog/

It's super easy to get parts for a 404. I have manual printed in English that will walk me through rebuilding any part on the truck. Unimogs are not that rare. In my area their is at least 5 running around. A Unimog will carry 4000 pounds so it'll carry a load.
