I strongly suspect that if the Turtle III had been a Unimog they wouldn't have needed to replace it after only 160,000 miles, no matter how tough the going. As for prices, why buy a new Unimog? Second-hand 404s are reasonably priced and will probably outlast most anything straight out of the showroom that's not a Unimog.
