Unimogs are great, I'd love to have a 1550 crewcab with lots of options and a camper, but I've got better options for $150-200K. My F350 crewcab is a geat expedition rig for $45K; my highly modified M37 cost $15K. It's like comparing apples to oranges: the M37 is a pickup with engineering tilted towards 20% on-road, 80% off-road. The Mog is an industrial tractor which is capable of being driven on pavement. Undoubtedly the only way to get into a Unimog for a reasonable price would be to buy a European army (i.e. Swiss ones go for ~$9.5K) surplus gas older 404, for example, and start converting and modifying (I'd start with a Perkins or Mercedes diesel).
