That's been my experience operating the gasser 404 and the diesel 416. Both are (were) ex military cargo trucks, available at auction, much like the M35 also used to be. Both of the Unimogs are excellent cargo carriers over rough terrain, besting any vehicle in it's weight class. I have crossed through swift river water of 1.5 meters in depth in a loaded 416 that was over the tires and filling the foot wells of the cab. That side pressure would have overcame the traction and swept away a lesser vehicle. I was amazed at the ability of the truck to make the crossing, and fulfill the materials delivery mission.
But at years end, accounting for the repair costs and down time, the Unimog looses it's bragging rights to the heavy, lumbering M35. The deuce just lumbers along, and while it does not off road as well, it definitely does not cost as much at years end.
As for Landys, I have not seen one that claims the load capacity that rivals the above mentioned rigs. So I say that there is no comparison. However, to post a advertisement photo of a Landy roped to a tug and cargo ship and saying it is proof the Landy is worthy, is misleading and wrong! Having driven and worked on all three marques, I say the LR is the most disadvantaged of the three. I'm not sure what happened to the creativity of the LR engineers, but I assume that designing automotive products while sequestered on a predominantly anglo-centric island is not conducive to creating a lasting product.
