There are so many variations of Unimog that it's hard to list them. Even within each model range there are loads of variations of pretty much the same vehicle! You can get a 416 in a standard cab model just as you can get a 406 with a double. They also come in hard/soft top versions with various gearboxes, hydraulic additions and linkages. As I say, the variations are endless!

The 416 has the same engine as the 406. HP output varies from around 80 to 130 I think. None that I know of have a turbo, which I think you could perhaps benefit from if towing. The down side to the round cab models is that it's also pretty hard to fit one as the engine bay space is very limited.

Price to buy can vary wildly depending on spec and condition. I've seen shabby ones go for £3-4k, and a fancy restored 406 for over £20k. Try to find one with what you want already fitted to it as adding extras later can cost a lot.

Finally, a buyers guide... Good luck with that! If you find one then let us know. Mogs are rare, it's pretty tough just getting basic info on them at times. On a positive note though, parts don't seem too hard to come by for the main components.
