This 1979 Mercedes-Benz Unimog 416 is a double-cab example that was imported to the US approximately 15 years ago. The truck is finished in white over black vinyl upholstery, and power comes from a 5.7-liter OM352 diesel inline-six driving all four wheels through a six-speed manual gearbox with two reverse gears and three locking differentials. Features include a pickup bed with fold-down bedsides, portal axles with fast axle units, a chrome front bumper, side steps, and roof vents. Maintenance in 2021 included a fluid service and belt replacement. The truck spent time in Northern California and was acquired by the seller in December 2020.
The truck is said to have been repainted in white under previous ownership. Features include a double cab, pickup bed with fold-down bedsides, chrome front bumper, side steps, and cab roof vents. There are rust bubbles on the upper cab and doors.
The 20″ black steel wheels are mounted with 14.5-20 MITAS MPT-05 tires. The suspension features coil springs at all four corners and stopping power is provided by hydraulic four-wheel disc brakes.
The cabin features front bucket and rear bench seats upholstered in black vinyl along with a matching dash and door panels. The floor and doors are painted white to match the exterior of the truck.
The two-spoke steering wheel sits ahead of a 120-km/h speedometer and a multi-function auxiliary gauge. The six-digit odometer shows 228k kilometers (~142k miles).
The 5.7-liter OM352 diesel inline-six received fresh fluids in 2021 and the accessory drive belt was replaced.
Power is sent to all four wheels through a six-speed manual gearbox with two reverse gears and three locking differentials.
