Correct me if wrong but when talking about the Mk2 W461 built from 2003 onwards (the production maybe still continues in Algeria) there were 4 product lines: Greenline- vehicles for military use, 2003-2021/2 Worker- working vehicle for Swiss market, 2003-2013/4 PUR- 30th anniversary limited edition, 2009/10 Professional- working vehicle for EU, Australia, South Africa, some Asian markets, 2010-2013/4 There were also 5 4x4 body styles: BM4- box van with 3 or 4 doors (in case of double tailgate W51) and 2850mm wheelbase BM6- station wagon with 5 or 6 doors (in case of double tailgate W51) and 2850mm wheelbase BM9- 2 door chassis cab with either short and long cab (RHD Australian military only) and 3428 mm wheelbase BM10- 3 door LWB cabrio with 2850 mm wheelbase BM11- 4 door chassis doublecab with 3428 mm wheelbase (AFAIK Dutch Airforce only, the FD in Niederdorf has a G270CDI BM11 but I think that´s either some proto or a conversion) and 3 6x6 bodystyles- chassis cab with both short and long 2 door cab like BM9 (AFAIK RHD Australian military only, short as proto only) and 4 door chassis doublecab like BM11 all with 3120 mm wheelbase between the 1st and 2nd axle and 4220 mm between the 1st and 3rd axle. All of the bodystyles were available as Greenline, BM11 only as G280CDI and 6x6 only as G300CDI (there were some G280CDI protos). Worker was available as BM6, BM9 (short cab) and BM4 (G270CDI only) PUR was available as BM6 G280CDI Professional was available as BM6 (both G280CDI and G300CDI), BM4 and BM9 short cab (both G300CDI only) In Algeria they were building BM6 and BM9 G300CDi since 2016 and it´s possible that the production continues until nowdays.

Another informative and well produced video! Thanks again guys!

[@jonasfreitag]

Thank you Keith!

[@cdmChase1]

Great video. Thanks boys!!! Enjoyed watching it..

[@patrikmellin5369]

Great Channel! Love it. I can’t find episode 3 & 4 of the history of the G? Please help me.

[@nickkendrick1011]

Why do you guys not mention the 250gd wolf? It is w461 and it was built for bundeswehr

[@jonasfreitag]

Yep, that one kinda slipped through the cracks. Send us some footage of yours and we will include it in the remake of this video. Deal?

[@willwest1010]

Where’s parts 3 and 4?? Awesome so far, please give us more

[@SkywhiteChannel]

Really enjoyed the first two videos. If you’re ever in America and California specifically let me know. We’ll take my G into the southwest desert.

[@guitoone861]

Great content!

[@albertdesalvo7273]

Another entertaining and informative upload...I'm ready for part 3...right now!😂. Voted!

[@jonasfreitag]

Thanks Albert. From the research & scriptwriting to the filming to all the editing it literally takes us weeks to produce a video like this, so you have to be patient!

[@Shalash87]

I thought that military grade had chassis code W462

[@christianbarros1580]

You missed the W461 Pure edition!. Great video guys! I also drive a W460 (SWB)!

[@bd321]

It's a very nice series guy's! Well put together. Lot of facts I didn't know 👍

[@jonasfreitag]

Glad to hear it, Bas!

[@cens0r3d]

Saubere Arbeit, tolle Videoserie und geiles projekt.. wie weit seid ihr mit thor? Zieht es euch damit nun auch ins Gelände?

[@shannons1886]

Yes!!!!! Thank you for this.

[@jonasfreitag]

You are so welcome!

[@karinfreitag3804]

Great video again! I like the way you laugh at your `Patzer` the most :-)

[@mainamaseeti]

In your intro of SUV models, what about the Mitsubishi Pajero...1982? Nice video bro!!

[@frankmarullo228]

Good video guys I was number 4 to like and first to comment !!! You guys probably could sell that rig you are working on for a goog deal of money. Then you could have enough money to redue a W.W. 2 American. Sherman tank. ( I'm sure you could find one on the internet for sale. ) it might have a little rust or something , but what the hell. THANK you Frank from montana. U.S.A.

[@jonasfreitag]

Thanks Frank! Appreciate your support. I think a Sherman will be beyond our budget for a long time to come.

[@frankmarullo228]

@@jonasfreitag hello from montana. ( This is Frank marullo ) hay guys the weirdest thing happened to me the other day . I got a letter in the mail believe it or not ! From BERLIN. I don't know anybody in Berlin. It looks like. Something for tourists I can't tell don't read German also a bumper sticker that says BERLIN loves you. This must be a thing from you tube , I don't know. Also how did you tube know how old I was. ( they were right ) 67 . This is scary Mabye I need to load up a few weapons for protection. I don't know if you guys will even get this or not . the cover of the pamphlet says " Literar aches colloqu um Berlin LCB. CRAZY I TELL YOU. HOPE YOU GET THIS.........

[@dingalingalong]

Lots of great research here that even top G gurus will not have known. So many 461 models that I now want to own. And, you answer the common 460 worker owner complaint... The Pur and Professional is for them, if you can find them. Instead, the ex-army 461s are sought after.

[@jonasfreitag]

Thank you Sir! Yeah the 461's are particularly cool.

[@scradley05]

G'day Fealla's, Australia is the only market that still able to get the base model because our military has start buying the G wagon for military use.

[@henrikdam8753]

Really like your series, even though you are not completely right about the W461 being available for the public. My 1996 W461 pickup has been a civilian all of its life. Maybe it was only sold in Denmark due to tax regulations. It is quite rare though, to my knowledge only 229 were ever made of the W461 pickup.

[@jkdrake1]

Thanks for this, what base model would you recommend most for overlanding?

[@firstdaddy]

Great video! I really like this history story. Thumbs up!

[@jonasfreitag]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@Shalash87]

Strictly speaking the first SUV was the Russian Niva.

[@andypaquin3294]

Love this 😊

[@berniereyes1956]

I want some 😂😂😂CHUCKY off-road tires!!! You guys are hilarious 😆! Thanks for all the history…who says we’re all not gonna be GKlasse experts when you guys get done with us 😎🍻! TOTALLY OFF TOPIC: have you guys been following NARWEZ, as he rebuilds an M110 in 3parts…? (To me) it seems like a very well put together rebuild. The only thing is that I wish it was in English. Hey Lasse, maybe you could reboot it for us… One day, when I go visit you guys I’m gonna try and get our friend Felix to do the same. OR NOT…instead maybe we’ll do a video in German, English and Spanish. We’ll call it “the good, the bad and the ugly” Felix will be the UGLY…¿did you see what his W460 Frankenstein!? THAT WAS UUUGLY!!! 🌺He did an amazing transformation!!!

[@jonasfreitag]

Endless traction with those chucky off-road tires, I tell ya! I have not seen NARWEZ stuff but will go look for it now!

[@cacilielutz4064]

Die Übersetzung der deutschen Fachbegriffe ins Englische ist gelungen. 👍

[@jonasfreitag]

Danke Cäcilie! Wir dachten, wenns um ein deutsches Fahrzeug geht können wir auch das ein oder andere schöne deutsche Wort einbauen.

[@blenderarchitect1553]

I am curious, why didn’t you guys get an ex-army vehicle instead of the G-wagon from Norway - any particular reason???

[@jonasfreitag]

Price is the simple answer. A nice ex military 290GD from the 90s as a 5 door hardtop rarely goes under 20k. Then the're usually 24V and need some transmission work to run comfortably down a highway. That just was not in our budget at the time.

[@jensbaufeldt7543]

Ihr seit echt cool.

[@jonasfreitag]

Das hören wir natürlich gerne! Danke Jens.

Puch G ist kein SUV das ist ein Geländewagen und benutze bitte Deutsch auch das Fahrzeug versteht nur Deutsch und es klingt affig wenn 2 Deutsch sprechende unbedingt Englisch verwenden.
