The Unimog

It looks a little more like a fire truck than an S.U.V. DaimlerChrysler is planning to begin marketing a massive four wheel drive vehicle called the UNIMOG in the United States. The truck was made by Mercedes for fifty years. In 1999, Elizabeth Bailey and her friends drove from Chile to Texas in a Mercedes Unimog. She talks to Noah Adams about driving this enormous vehicle.
