The Pinzgauer 4x4 / 6x6

Hi all,

We've been speaking about the Desi jeeps, gypsies, pajeros, land cruisers, land rovers and even the Nissan 4W73 but I am surprised that our forum doesn't have a thread on the Austrian Pinzgauer.

To my knowledge, this vehicle is available in 4x4 & 6x6 options. It's got hydraulic differential locks and has portal axles (similar to the Unimog). The approach and departure angles are 45 degrees and fording depth is 700 mm

re: The Pinzgauer 4x4 / 6x6

I have always been fascinated by the Pinzgauer and In certain ways found them technologically superior to the Unimog (but that might be just me)

Just to add to the info provided, here are some more facts related to the capability of this amazing vehicle:

-45° approach and departure angles
-100% slope, or until tyres lose traction
-700 millimetres (27.6 in) fording depth
-Can climb down a 360 millimetres (14.2 in) wall
-43.5° side-slope
-1000/1500 kg of payload (4×4/6×6)
-335 millimetres (13.2 in) of clearance (lowest point when fully loaded)
-top speed (4×4): 110 kilometres per hour (68 mph); (6×6): 100 kilometres -per hour (62 mph)
-Full engine power available at 4 kilometres per hour (2 mph)
-M body type carries 10 people (4×4), 14 people (6×6)

Also,

Here is a video elaborating the peculiarities of the Pinzgauer driveline:



Thanks.

Re: The Pinzgauer 4x4 / 6x6

Came across these a few years back at a place called Ushbenkah which is a part of the Bacalar Lagoon In Mexico a well kept secret among the locals over here. They were just abandoned by the owner who was using them as a barricade to stop people from illegally entering his property. I asked him and he seemed to have no interest in restoring them cos he thought they were too far gone and were just not convenient for him to run anymore. But you guys are right they looked absolutely amazing..The Pinzgauer 4x4 / 6x6-img_20180501_143654__01.jpg
