I've had a look at a few of them, civilian and ex-military, and a pile of both get used here in Scotland.
In my view a Power Wagon is a truck, but a Unimog is basically a tractor that happens to have four wheels the same size. If you want something to tow ploughs or trailers on a farm, climb a mountian, a unimog is for you, but round here they dont stray far from home. The new civilian ones are also a BIG pile of money.
Slower, noisier, and harsher than a Power Wagon ( bet you don't see that often ) but with a definite role to play, but give me a Dodge any time.
