Thats all fine and dandy, but for what? Just to "be cool'?

Bed/frame is too short to put any sort of useful camper on it, etc...

98% of unimogs and other 4x4s like this are just utility backs, barely any are campers

I meant to add a camper later, like many do.

This one seems way too short for that.

Many don't add campers to unimogs, and if they do its usually a 606, U1300L, or U5000L

U500's have short chassis like the non "L" unimogs. The only people building campers on u500's are pretty much US manufactures- everyone chooses U1300L or the newer U5000L.. The Zetros, and MAN cab overs have kind of killed unimog campers- as capable as a camper needs to be without all the speed limitations, and hassles with portal axles.

Yes, I understand that

So, for $350k you get a truck you can’t really put a camper on with a little tiny bed...

for each is own

This is for the wealthy Jackson Hole ranch owner, that wants to ride around in style- it'll realistically sell for sub $200,000 but probably will sell to some collector
