Here Is Why This Is HANDS DOWN the Best Mercedes G-Wagen Of All Time! 

yes..... a rodeo drive ,posh resort valet parking G wagon

@@youtubecarspottersguide1 That is a Rodeo Drive soccer mom vehicle that may ride up a curb by accident

@@youtubecarspottersguide1 lmao you are so clueless if that's all you know of the g wagen.

@@youtubecarspottersguide1 are you jealous? lol

@@johnjobber2219 jealousy is so cringey

I wish we got that one. I stayed with you guys at Camp Marmal In Afghanistan and they were all over the place. Instead we get AMG trash that will never see dirt. What a waste.

Professional series and military series are actually different. Professional series doesn’t allow for certain options like armored cab while military series does. But underneath, they’re mostly the same thing.

@@ParissaKhoury go to Germany or Australia

@@ParissaKhoury so am I, if we want to buy them we have to go to Germany or Australia. Mercedes dealers here don’t sell them. You have to go to a dealer in Europe or Australia, Germany is best. When you see a unimog in the US it’s because the guy who owns it bought it in Germany and had it sent back here to the US. You can go on vacation to buy it and ship it back, shipping for one is $5000-$8000 each way depending on if you do sea or air.

@@ParissaKhoury us Mercedes dealers only sell the base and amg g wagon models Military and professional are all sold outside USA, Mercedes won’t ship it to you, they want you to do that part yourself. It would cost them a ton to ship it to your local Mercedes dealer since they don’t normally sell those ones here. It could get lost easy as well.

Portal axels are great

It's a 4x4

@@Mac10Daddy Until they need servicing. And they increase the sprung weight at each wheel location. There are trade offs. For most of us who don't off road like Couch, then they are not needed to save weight, money, and service time.

they sold the designs to an indian company that till makes the same vehicle with OM616 engine ans same transmission its the military spec version too! the company is called force motors - it is bascically a company built on g wagon and sprinter designs.

Nathan did, he said something like "we are only a few days away from the next".

Thank you for watching!

Sorry, you are wrong, it's a transfer plate for export.

@@stefanl-d6803 ok, thanks

Our Dutch marechaussee (between police and military) use armored AMG G classes in Europe, but for their foreign missions (Embassy protection and so on) they all use the LC200. More reliable and you can service it everywhere. By more reliable I mean more reliable than the AMG G classes. I think a more basic diesel G class is very reliable as well. But the AMG G classes drive better with all that armor weight.

How much is the price now, I mean the old model of it 🤔🤔

@@Mysteriousman355 Back then it was by far the dearest being 40K or so. A hilux was 11K. Not sure now

Lots and lots of it.

Oh yeah... Make your pick: a house or this car.

@@mysterioanonymous3206 Why can't it be both? 😉

Now that we know whose capable of building a dream machine, they are the people to go do.. That’s if we can afford their craftsmanship.. 🤣🤣🤣

Small correction, *is* still built there.

You must be Austrian

@@rl7586 no ;) Bavarian, but close to our neighbors from Austria

What du you mean with ring diameter?

@@eyeswideopen7450turning circle?

@@leewright7623 that one with the factory portal axles has 14,3 m of turning circle. So yeah it is pretty bad

Ring gear is referring the axle ring gear diameter

What's your idea?

They used to, any modern Merc won't last more than 5 years without becoming a nightmare

Junk. There. I finished it for you

@@armandoaragon575 5years? 5 minutes

Don't see too many 10 year old German cars on the road unless driven by enthusiasts, "rich" or on a roll back

@@armandoaragon575 the Mercedes in Europe and the work vehicles are great. Mercedes diesels are top notch.

Ssssttt, if TFL finds out something like a Fiat Panda 4x4 exist they want to have it.

@@buddy1155 Ye It would be cool to see the TFL Team do a review of the panda 4x4, In Europe, it has a locker in some models too.

@@evang9708 It is more than old enough to import it into the US.

The tires might have made the difference... Big offroad tires are absolute inferior in snow and ice to actual winter tires (with which the Panda most likely was outfitted). I have seen two guys on an offroad track in the snow and freezing temps. (they did that in switzerland) One with a stock Mercedes ML with new winter tires, the other with a modified Defender 90 with anything you can imagine on offroad goodies and big MT tires. The ML had to pull the Defender out and had an easy time. (additionally: the Defender driver was a swiss offroad enthusiast who had used his rig in things like the Superkaparta and the ML driver was a car journalist from northern germany which usually means not much offroad knowledge and not much snow driving knowledge) And if i go by my cousin, even with tractors, the place he works changes to winter tires for snow clearing duty. He described the difference like night and day gripwise. Fun Fact. the first gen Panda 4x4 was built by Steyr Daimler Puch. Rings a bell? That's where the G was made (devellopment and manufacturing) and it is till made there. Just the name changed, but the G to this day is built in the same place. (and this place only) (Fun Fact 2 It is the place where alle the current Supra and Z4 are built too.)

@@nirfz Cool Thanks for the info, I didn't know they where built in the same factory. It's funny though my teacher used to boast about how great his Panda was before this and he was 10 times worse afterwards. Im a big fan of the mk1 ML with a standard low range box, times have changed alot from anything in the suv genre having a low box and full time awd.

They are ours

@@NathanDAdlen Here I was trying to imagine what Couch could do to them lol.

i think it might. what they showed a jimmney on 29s could do
