One of my favorites, it's big weakness would be highway travel. With a 20 speed transmission options, PTO's on many, and Mercedes reliability they are serious work trucks. Here we see quite a few of the older versions and most of them can be licensed, I did run across a warning about some of the more recent models sometimes offered for sale are not eligible for registration...at least here.

They were always pretty solid vehicles but some of the new versions are down right beautiful, expensive, but gorgeous.

Know a Title from a Registration and Be Sure of What You Are Getting!
IMPORTANT! DO NOT BE FOOLED! A Registration is NOT a Title. European Ownership Documentation & Import Papers can be a REAL NIGHTMARE to turn into a U.S. Title! Be SURE you get a REAL U.S. TITLE on ANY imported vehicle! Make Certain that Your Documents have the Seller's Name On The Ownership Papers! Otherwise you have LITTLE RECOURSE should something go wrong.
THINK ABOUT IT!
!!! IMPORTANT FRAUD ALERT !!!
There are shortages of many of the most popular vehicles which are LEGAL for importation into the United States!! There are some unscrupulous importers dealing in vehicles which have been imported ILLEGALLY by means of altering the Date of Manufacture BEFORE SHIPMENT TO THE UNITED STATES and/or Importing Vehicles Newer than 25 Years Old as "Off-Road Use Only", laundering the Title and producing documentation from a State such as Georgia (which does not require titles for vehicles 15 years of age or older... for these they require a 'bill of sale' for which they will issue a registration and give you plates!) From such minimal documentation, a vehicle transferred to another State... such as Colorado... with a Georgia registration, can then be Titled with a REAL TITLE... which, in turn, is then accepted for Titling in another State... and so the FRAUD Goes Merrily On Until It Becomes YOUR Problem!
