THIS Is The BEST Off-Roader You Can Buy! G-Wagon vs 4Runner vs Wrangler | TFLori S.1 EP.1 

The Fast Lane Car I really like the new ORI I think crawl control might be a added like 5 point (possibly subjective) score. Great idea though!!

ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-oMFIPdOOi_Y.html Please watch this to see the difference between a G-Wagon with poop tires, and a G-Wagon with good tires.

You guys are shit offload drivers . SAD SHIT

i think the g wagon should get an exception for the tires. mercedes gives it a joke of offroad tires knowing 99.9% will never touch dirt.

@@maxwell5428 Perhaps for the price Merc could include a set of off road tires

G550 - the hot girl you love but can't afford Wrangler- the crazy girl that can hang with the boys and is down for anything 4runner- your every day Jane, nothing to brag about but gets the job done.

Because the Toyota probably is the lowest maintenance lol

@@djayt1215 G550 - the hot girl you really can't afford. Wrangler - the crazy girl you can't afford. 4Runner - your everyday Jane, who you still can't afford.

Wrangler is the best of the 3, watch the video

@@eduardosampoia5480 Dey just sum snow, Dey not no b*tches.

@@eduardosampoia5480nice grammar man

Yes 👍 I agree ☝️

Voodoo blue.

They did.

Yeah like a fifteen-year-old Jeep Rubicon or modified pickup truck. In a way this entire test is flawed because no one is going to take their brand new vehicle into a situation like this. So why single out the Mercedes... It's no newer than the rest of them or nicer than the rest of them they're all new and nice and in a way it's not any more expensive than the rest of them since it's going to be owned by someone who can afford it

Gabesafish, we get it, you have an XJ...

This is the best answer. I bought a Raptor to go off road and quickly realized it's a shit off-roader for this very reason.

@@jclar3565 I agree with MOST of what you're saying but the G Wagon is more expensive in very single way imaginable. It costs a whole lot more to buy, it costs a while lot more to maintain and it costs a whole lot more to repair.

J Clar oh you’re wrong. I bought a 16 T4R and 15 Tacoma, then 18 Tundra all new and all were promptly taken into the mountains of Colorado, Utah, Wyoming, Idaho and Montana for rock bashing, sloppy mud and desert running before they even had permanent plates. There are some of us out there that bought these vehicles to be the off roader they are not a fancy mall crawler. Got dents, scratches and stories to go with them.

front locker on the 4runner and it would've been chilling on that trail though

@@benjacobson7490 Yeah, especially with the IFS limiting articulation. GM offers one on the colorado ZR2 and the new Bronco will have one. Hopefully Toyota will add a front locker to the next TRD.

@@tcv4 yeah, imo they should go back to solid axles, to compete with the wrangler better but ik they won't do that

There are plenty of Russian youtube videos that do that, check out the Manager Anton channel. Spoiler alert : the G class demolishes everything.

Might be more capable, but you'll never see a G-Wagon used the same way that the LC is used. An LC looks good with a few scuff marks on it, like it's been used the way it ought to be. Scuffs on a G-Wagon make the owner look like they don't care for their stuff.

ktpinnacle it’s been done, it failed.

Or... how about a run off between the most expensive off-reader offerings from these three manufacturers plus one from Land Rover, ie GWagon, Grand Cherokee, Land Cruiser, Discovery.

Now that's a battle!! Make it happen TFL.

Amen to that!! I agree! I LOVE TOYOTA! :)

So true

Exactly

It's also reliably insane.

the word is "lazy"

Scott K. I have an ‘01 runner with 360k miles, that the check engine light came on in for the first time...it was the gas cap seal going bad. The engine will literally last longer than the rubber gasket on the gas cap. Best all around vehicle ever made in my opinion.

Ya but 4th gen is better

My 96 Limited running strong @ 230k. Like you, no oil burn etc & looking good

Evan White Autotrader etc majorty of Pro reviews disagrees with your take. Their rating #1 - (Third Generation) #2 - (Second Generation) #3 - (Fifth Generation) #4 - (Fourth Generation) #5 - (First Generation)

I miss my 1999 Limited so much. My sister totaled it...

Snow chains will fix that problem

Not sure why you would be surprised...it's almost $150k. It BETTER be good.

Nicholas Bromley Agreed. Apparently a strong butt clenching can leave a lasting impression on Roman.

Ha ha! Right! Is it nice to have one ...i guess but is it a necessity ...nah.😸

Points should be deducted for having a camera on a trail rig.

hm...

Agreed... The front facing camera is fairly recent tech. Lockers are a must, cameras are a perk.

I've been using BFG MT's and AT's for years. They are the best all around tire if you have to drive on the road and want to hit a trail.

How are the KO2’s in snow?

@@mikewellington2738 I've tried grabbers, mts and all terrain discoveries. Hands down the KO2's are the best I've ever run. We have them on our Chevy 2500 HD and they do amazing in snow. Also have them on my Nissan hard body 78 GMC Sierra and Dodge Durango. I was running around in 34 inches of snow pulling people out when we got hit hard. Little bit of slip but that's to be expected. Go to discount tires if you're interested in a set, if you don't like em they'll take em back with in the first 30 days.

@@mikewellington2738 They are accepted as a snow tire in Canada, so damn good.

mike wellington excellent! The new bfg AT rubber compound is a huge improvement; especially on snow. I run BFG AT’s in the summer and Blizzaks on my Tacoma in Alaska all winter. The BFG’s have ~75% the traction of the Blizzaks. They’re not a dedicated winter tire but they’re impressively close.

FAKE NEWS

Yes it is more reliable. Idk about the g wagon but its more reliable than the jeep.

@@machedari It's more reliable than g wagon as well.

What are you saying bro!😨 Toyota is the most reliable car company!😣

@@randomideas7799 it has nothing to do with how you take care of your vehicle? If its yota it just last longer..parts are better!!!

Exactly!

Anyone doing trails like this, could do them in a trashcan with scooter wheels. This trail was shit.

@@bgrutterdds Tires, Tires, Tires! It's all about the tires on that 4runner

What’s even worse is that it’s a four cylinder 😂

In 1989 2-door Jeep Wrangler Rubicons sold for $15,000 adjudged for inflation at $31,000 today. Jeeps have always been $$$

Jesse pacheco yea but $31k is not 55k, so are you saying they should be 31k

Latent Tweet they are from a big 3 brand which means msrp is really only a suggestion. If you shop around you can get 6-7 grand off that fairly Easily which is much harder to do with Toyota for example.

Bryant V.W you can get a v6 and next year yoj can get a diesel

Also, the guy driving the 4Runner was the worst driver.

Douglas Buck Toyota just announced the 4Runner is getting Apple CarPlay in the coming year. You don't have to use it, but it is nice to know it's there. I wonder if Toyota was listening to Doug 🤔

@@jaydot10 Thanks for the info! Maybe I should trade my 18 TRD Pro so I can meet with Doug's approval by having Apple Carplay!

I can guarantee that 90percent of people with a forerunner bought it because it looks cool. Not to take it off road

D Jay T let’s be honest jeeps are the king of mall crawlers

Bought our 4runner over the Jeep for a few reasons. #1 being reliability. #2 Safety. #3 no water leaks.

True my 96 forerunner still runs great with 346k miles on it

@Private Number and a hyundai sante fe is getting near 40k too...except u have to buy 2 or 3 of those to match the longevity of 1 4runner

Toyotas are one-trick ponies: "reliability." Not all of us keep our vehicles for 800k miles. Would rather drive an exciting, passionate vehicle that "only" lasts for 200k miles than an underpowered, uninspired dog.

@MysteriousOklahoma You're right. That's why I pay cash and only buy what I want to drive, not an uninspired, bland, appliance-like vehicle that appeals to the one-dimensional folks who only value "reliability" in its various, sometimes intangible forms. Regarding the planet, I agree that we are destroying it by needlessly and selfishly emitting approximately 40 billion tons of CO2 into the atmosphere each year and are reaping the destructive results in the form of horrific climate change. There is a mandate in Europe that all new vehicles sold by 2035 must be electric.

@Private Number It's not out dated if it out lasts the new shit :P

And don't forget your tool box.

BPRescue 😂😂😂

Can't wait to have my own Wrangler

Slowest too...

@@BPRescue That Jeep is way more reliable than that G-wagon and it has closed the gap in reliability with the Toyota, thus the good resale values.

With its lack of lockers and terrain management, I don't think it can do that trail in those snowy conditions.

And the land cruiser

Agreed. Nathen in the Suzuki with the headband on giving it all the beans he could.

@@MichaelMiller-rg6ordrop a pair of lunchbox lockers in it for under $500 total and it would be beast

Old Man Jeeping and Biking you’re right but I think I remember them saying they wanted to keep the Samurai stock.

I’m sure the locking front diff makes a huge difference as well

Jeep would still crush them both. Solid axles and sway bar disconnect would be the difference maker.

@@greg2772 well, I think the Toyota's is more for the high-speed off-road stuff.

Exactly. Who goes offroad without offroad tyres? 4 rubber tyres are nothing compared to 140k.

Yota is so reliable, people turn it into a tank in hot zones

Toyota, the most loved by ISIS

HunterXray also the 4Runner is the woman that holds her age better then all the others lol. Meaning it’s not gonna break down with it’s proven reliable motor and drive components.

Feel like my girlfriend is the g550 lol

The is nothing boring about the 4RUNNER TRD PRO Voo Doo Blue

C Man I agree ☝️

Nah, the Wrangler is much more predictable, but not boring; only ever-so slightly more expensive, but doesn’t give you fits; doesn’t slip as often and can perform with or without the need to rev up, and best of all, no drama. This is the one you’re looking for.

But same tyres.

Blame MB for putting shit tires on that truck.

@David Kopp not us you offroad or if you have heavy snow where you live. I live in the mountains and it snows and I offroad a lot.

@David Kopp not true I have the bfK02 and they are silent!

The point was to test the cars as they shipped from the factory. So you can't talk about fitting the same tires here.

Jack Galuardi >>> I agree. A pair of A/S slicks on the most capable vehicle turns it it into a spinner. Good offroad tires on something not so offroad worthy makes a surprising difference in grip.

Kind of disagree, tires are the first and easiest thing to swap depending on what you want to use your truck for. Can't really say the G-wagon is worse off road because it's delivered on the wrong tires for the terrain? Would be like saying Usain Bolt sucks at running after forcing him to wear a pair of tap dancing shoes for a race...

@@texnorthman >>> I'll see your disagree, and raise you another disagree ;-) I think you just have a soft-spot for the Gestapo Vagon.

@@tactickleshtooper1753 You may be right ;) But I still feel that something as simple as swapping tires, done in 20 minutes at a tire shop, can't be compared to adding a lift kit or a diff lock or whatever. Would have liked to see what the stock G-wagon could do compared to the Rubicon if they were on the same tires, which anyone intending to use them for off road would do immediately.

Great point. the reason they’re rated as such is because tires are easy and relatively affordable to swap after the fact!

Was about to comment this 😂😂 Land Cruiser is one of the best

YES! The G-Wagon should have pitted against at least the Land Cruiser.

Land cruiser king of SUV.

Vanisshen yeah not the frickin 4Runner trash

@@rigobertogarza7945 How is the 4Runner trash? It outperformed the G in this video.

@@m.youtube.com-r hahaha

@rabblerouser After a few hundred kilometres of corrugated dirt roads, mine work or rocky deserts the bolts, welds, screws etc on jeeps, land rovers etc just come apart. Also many of the suspension components are not robust enough and break when placed under strain on river crossings. Toyota test all of their vehicles in Australia to be able to handle this punishment. Toyota has chosen a different position on the trade offs between cost, weight savings and strength. American toyotas are cheaper than elsewhere so it is possible that they are constructed with inferior components. In the US you don't need to drive thousands of kilometres on rough roads in temperatures up to 50 degrees celsius (122 degrees fahrenheit). Even on highways fuel may only be available every 300 kilometres or so and we have cattle stations bigger than many of your states. Australia has plenty of mountains near the coast but they have been worn down from being taller than the himalayas to not much more than 3,000 metres. More than 90% of the population lives in 0.22% of the country. Aftermarket high powered turbo and super charged wranglers with modified suspensions do well on sand dunes but generally they have to stick to bitchumen to survive.

I just heard that the jeep range received a one star safety rating in Europe and Australia. You would be stupid to buy a vehicle that is designed to kill you in a crash. The passenger compartment is already collapsing in a 64 kilometre per hour crash test. Lazy, stupid engineers.

Would KDSS qualify?

U mean the Fiat?

@@americansniper1641 - even more embarrassing for the competition then?

@@americansniper1641 And? All of your "made in America" vehicles are just assembled with Mexican and Chinese parts by dimwits too ignorant to realize they are the bottom of the manufacturing barrel

@@americansniper1641 You do know the Wrangler is engineered by en entirely different team than the rest of the line up right? FYI when designing the JK, and JL the engineers took a lot of advice from the off road community including people in the after market business. Those Wranglers are JEEP's plain and simple!

@@Seenoevilspeaknoevilhearnoevil yes the under dog that cost more then the other two combined and built with crappy fiat parts by lazy alcoholics in the south if that's the underdog then maybe the underdog should lose

Please explain why they updated (downgraded) the Tacoma drivetrain?

Reliable but not as capable since it was struggling more than the Jeep.

Most cars can be reliable as long as you take care of it

No question, the Fiat and the Mercedes will be insane maintenance hogs over time. A lot of flash up front, a lot of cash down the tubes down the road.

greghowardbell At least they have reason for the extra maintenance as they offer capabilities that Toyota does not have. I mean with Jeep, it’s doing more ‘gymnastics’ in more difficult obstacles while with MB, it’s the luxury part.

Thanks for the kind words!

Goins2754 funny comment coming from a Grand Cherokee, let’s check in on that thing after 175k

x2 good catch. XJ marking its territory!

Gevorg Nazaryan and that’s why I have a wrangler

Josh Phillips 😂

Josh Phillips and I, a 4Runner :)

u never trialed a G with Bayatyres. u never greenlaned a G with BFG AT´s on his feet. a G worker is a magnet. For chicks with a Kärcher in their overallpockets.

nothing than a jeep rubicon, I love mine, if only the build quality would be just a little better, but on the other hand you have always something to bolt around😃

MASKOAA 100%. Also, it’s more practical for carrying stuff around. The Benz will break down when all it’s electronics start acting up. And the Wrangler is full of fiat/chrysler parts, which will inevitably break down as well.

@@headers12 yes people who review these things forget about the rest of us but hear in Europe Mercedes-Benz G-Wagen isn't that bad and they don't break down the whole not the cars anyway

Agree 100%. Neighbor has one with 350k miles, normal wear and tear, new spark plugs at 150k, no problems. He loves it, but he is fortunate gas isn't expensive.

@@headers12 all car parts break down with wear and tear. The Wrangler like most modern vechiles is full of shared Sourced parts from around the world. Second Toyota's current gen is full of problems when compared to the early 2000 models. It seems to most everyone, that all Toyota Zealots sing the same tune like a broken record when it's demonstrated how outdated many of Toyota's models are when compared to there competitors. So when the competing vechile drives better, higher MPG, increased performace, more modern and in demand infotainment(Car play) etc.... All we hear us the same mantra, "But the Toyota is more realible" Then you guys exacerbate the level of difference in realibility between Toyota and the competitors by acting as if the other vechiles are Lemons.

I used to sound like Paul until I bought a 100 series. 😁

Can't agree more!

Yea man been watching these guys for years since the early days and never disappointed Its like a family bond 😌

Land Rover would heartily agree
