I’ve seen some trucks in the US that had an L for low gear. I had a 3500 that had the normal manual shifter but also had another shifter at the base which would put you into Low mode for all those gears including R. It was VERY low, like the truck barely moved but it had all the torque you’d need to pull something.
Offroad?
(“Gelände” in German, so with a “G”)
correct and that was quick
l come from a farmers family in Germany.
I’ve known it from some equipment we used back in the 80’s or so :-)
Interesting, the super low crawling gear is called “granny gear” here in the states, so both fit!

I’ve always heard it as turtle gear, mostly since lots of farm equipment has a turtle and rabbit as slow/fast.
