Unimogs have been uncommon in North America because of differing vehicle regulations and requirements from those in Germany, and due to the lack of a North American sales and support network. Most Unimog models found in North America have been imported by individual dealers or independent enthusiasts.

Between 1975 and 1980 the [[Case Corporation]] (now merged into [[CNH Industrial#CNH Global|CNH Global]]) imported the U-900 model into the United States and sold it through Case tractor dealerships as the MB4/94.

In 2002 [[DaimlerChrysler]] tried to re-enter the North American market with the Unimog and engaged in four years of aggressive marketing, which included activities such as; truck and trade shows, exposure on the television show ''[[Modern Marvels]]'', numerous magazine articles and extensive demonstrations (both touring and on an individual basis). They were generally sold through [[Freightliner Trucks|Freightliner]] truck dealerships.<ref>{{Cite web |first=Bill |last=Cawthon  |url=http://www.allpar.com/model/ram/unimog.html |title=Freightliner and the Unimog |date=2001 |website=allpar.com |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080517042926/http://www.allpar.com/model/ram/unimog.html |archive-date=2008-05-17 |quote=Freightliner LLC expects to sell about 300 Unimogs in the U.S. in 2002}}</ref> Freightliner is a Daimler AG subsidiary.

Some of them are [[Caterpillar Inc.|Caterpillar]], [[John Deere]], [[AM General]], [[Sterling Trucks]] (also a Daimler AG subsidiary), and [[General Motors]]. After five years and selling only 184 Unimogs, Freightliner LLC exited the market. Daimler AG cited non-compliance with EPA07 emission requirements as the main reason for ceasing North American sales.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://allthingsgerman.blogspot.com/2009/03/unimog-in-usa-no-more.html |title=All Things German: UNIMOG in USA no more |publisher=Allthingsgerman.blogspot.com |date=2009-03-18 |access-date=2015-09-05}}</ref>
