Wow, 5 second in the intro, you can tell from the height of the pov that this thing is basically a baby Unimog. I really like the G wagen, especially in the 2000's period we're they felt old and still updated here and there, but man, clunk that door and it felt so solid. I miss my 190e and that star on the hood

[@alolanstarboy]

Oh man, kinda sad to see you got back from California so quick, was hoping to see a few more POV canyon road drives. Hope you do make good on that idea to move there during the winters 👀

[@edysinsimon8646]

I really want one of these G300d 4X4 squared! Yeah...I said G300d not a G550. Most every other country gets that option. That would be my ideal choice of powertrains!

[@yajae26]

Same here. This is a purpose built of road vehicle. You don’t need 400+ horsepower from a v8 to go off road, but the diesel torque from the 300d or 400d engine would be great

[@wopmf4345FxFDxdGaa20]

V8 is otherwise nice, but the fuel consumption is so horrible compared to a diesel that can't go far off road with a V8, unless a fuel truck is following behind. That's why in real military or work use they are practically always diesel.

[@edysinsimon8646]

@@yajae26 Imagine getting the G in that 400d option... Just perfect!

Mercedes : let's build a hardcore off-roader. Also Mercedes : let's make the fender flares out of carbon fiber, which will literally explode into a gazillion pieces upon any impact from just about everything you can expect to encounter off road.

[@nirfz]

Not sure abot US Dealers and workshops, but in europe i doubt the workshop would have that much of a problem working on the portals. Here often times Mercedes utility vehicles like trucks commercial vans, busses and Unimogs are also sold and serviced at the same place. And if i remember correct, the portals are from the Unimog... So for the portals they can just take the truck mechanic do the work.

[@RJW14]

You need to go back, have them put it on tires that match the suspension and go off roading kinda like you did with the unimog :P (Also bring a Lambo LM002 for the engine sound when doing that polar opposite)

[@granvillefriel2263]

I read the title as 6x6 and was terrified to see that squeeze down normal roads.

[@nirfz]

It isn't that bad, i think a modern day corvette even is wider than the 6x6. I have seen 2 of the 6x6 on austrian roads a few years back, and the roads i came across them aren't as wide as typical US roads. (The G factory is 20 minutes from where i live, and they were most likely factory test driving them)

[@ElliWoelfin]

@@nirfz I'm just meaning with how damn long it is. I figure it's somewhere between this and a normal G65 as far as width goes.

[@nirfz]

@@ElliWoelfin Ah, sorry i misunderstood that. (Lengthwise the 6x6 are around the length of a the long wheelbase versions of a Sprinter or VW Crafter or Fiat Ducato i think. Less long than a G Landaulet as it looks to me.)

Thanks God I will buy one for myself

[@chlpataLOPticKa]

we are literally flooded with these things in Bratislava Slovakia. Here are too many G wagons as well as 4x4 Squared

[@dziadek1287]

A normall G wagon has problems fitting in an underground parking lot as most of them have a limit of 2m (at least in europe). If someone daily drives a g wagon they know parking lot height limits by heart.

All of the Mercedes models in Europe are branded 400s or 500s, everything in the US is a 450 or 550 (i.e. GLS550/GLS500, E550/E500). Not sure why!

At it's place of origin, the G isn't called/considered a SUV. The G was around before this term came to use here. The type of vehicle a G is considered to be is a Geländewagen. (translatable as "Offroader"). Same goes for a Wrangler, old Defender, or a Jimny. The "Softroaders" are what we call SUVs.
