unimog and land rover spares

Launch of the 407 – 437 series.

In the following years, the Unimog range remained largely constant. But then, between 1985 and 1988, new models were again launched one after the other: Daimler-Benz completely replaced the entire range with the 407, 417, 427 and 437 series. The cab from the medium-heavy and heavy-duty series was now also used for the lightweight models. New wheelbase lengths, dimensions, weights, chassis and engines under the cabs' sheet metal skins resulted in completely new vehicles. 

After this renewal, the range was larger than ever before, extending from the lightweight, particularly easily manoeuvrable Mercedes-Benz Unimog U 600 with an output of 44 kW (60 hp) and a gross vehicle weight of 4.5 tonnes via countless versions – the result of further expansion in the early nineties – to the three-axle U 2400. Its engine developed a new record output of 177 kW (240 hp) from a displacement of six litres. The two-axle version's permissible gross weight was 14 tonnes.
