Unimog-- what do the numbers mean

[Stephen Blair]

cheers man, does the 1000 sit higher than your 406 then? as it just "looks" bigger it may be an optical illusion.

 

I think they are the same.

[elliott EGD]

there just model numbers the 50,s and L,s are long wheel base all are the same with untill you put 24" wide wheels on moas of the chasies are the same just the dif between length the higher the number the heveyr weghted axles nd more power you get the powr increse is not consitant with the jump in the badge. we have a 1450 140l and 2150

I am looking at the 2150 because its the only model with heavy duty 10 stud axles and 210hp. The cab sits higher than the rest because the intercooler is fitted under cab.

Mine is a u1600 with 10 stud wheels and a factory fitted 210hp engine, thats since been up rated to 245hp.

Thats the sort of thing but I would be happy with anything U1600 and above for what I need.
