The Unimog 435 wasn't built for farms or fire departments first — it was developed in 1975 specifically for West Germany's Bundeswehr, as the military successor to the Unimog S 404.
The Unimog's now-iconic 'edgy' bonnet wasn't always there — it debuted in 1974 on the first heavy-duty Unimog, the U 120 of the 425 series, and Mercedes-Benz has kept that same hard-edged look on Unimogs ever since.
The 406 was the first Unimog designed with a proper cab from the start — Daimler-Benz built an entirely new industrial press just to stamp its panels.
The 411 shipped with a crash gearbox (no synchro) even after Mercedes gave the smaller 404 a synchromesh box — drivers had to double-clutch until synchromesh became optional in 1957 and standard in 1959.
Of every Unimog variant ever built, the 404 S sold the most: 64,242 units between 1955 and 1980 — the best-selling Unimog in the whole lineage.
The 401/402 update gave the Unimog its first Mercedes three-pointed star on the hood, replacing the ox-horn emblem the earliest models wore.
