The Unimog 405 is a vehicle of the Unimog-series by Mercedes-Benz, made by Daimler Truck Holding AG. Developed in the 1990s, the Unimog 405 has been in production since 2000. Originally, DaimlerChrysler produced the Unimog at Gaggenau; in 2002, production was moved to Wörth am Rhein. The Unimog 405 is the implement carrier version of the Unimog and the successor to most previous Unimogs. Although retaining many characteristics typical of the Unimog, the 405's axle and chassis design concept with control arms instead of torque tubes marks a "paradigmatic change" in Unimog design. The Unimog 405 can legally be classified as either a 7.5-tonne lorry (C1), a 40-tonne lorry (C), or agricultural tractor (T). It is produced alongside the heavy-duty, off-road lorry-like Unimog 437.4, which features a different technical design. The Unimog 405 has been made in three major variants: UGN (2000–2016), LUG (2007–2013), and UGE (since 2013). In total, 22 types of the Unimog 405 have been made, with two types (405.210 and 405.230) exclusively sold on the North-American market as the Freightliner Unimog U 500.
