Old design, but still as beautiful as the day the first one rolled off the assembly line. Just like the VW Beetle. That design was a design that never will get old.

@@REB4444 2 yrs later and i still agree, put $150k into a $50k wrangler and you can make it a 6x6 with portal axles, and pretty much insulate all the interior (for a more luxurious drive) and cover it with the most plush and beautiful leather and carbon fiber, and get a custom body kit and make it look insane, and swap a hellcat engine into it, and it'll still cost less than the 4x4 Squared, but be a lot better
Gentleman of the South American narcotic production industry... Look no further! Your perfect car has arrived^^ No matter how deep into the jungle you have hidden your plantations, you can now get there in comfort and style :D
Do R/C! True with solid axles like a Jeep, tires give you the clearance under the diff. With independent suspension, you do get the height with a lift alone.
LSanti Sorry but lifting the suspension even with ifs ground clearance doesn't change. The lowest point of your frame remains relatively low, lower control arm is not moved until talked tires are added.
Elijah Brooks I've installed multiple suspension lifts both on solid and independent axled vehicles. I agree the lower A-arm may not rise but the frame and most everything attached to the frame will go up. Only difference is the axle on a solid axled vehicle will not rise, but everything else will.
If I could own one if these I'd take it off road very often. Not serious trail and rock crawling because of the price of replacing anything damaged. But sand dunes, mild trails, and ice lake driving it would be perfect.
I was thinking that same thing. The rear bumper needs to come off before you go offroading or all that ground clearance is pointless when your bumper gets ripped off or stuck on a rock.
The 6x6 isn’t legal in the US? That’s weird. I saw one in Morgantown, WV about two years ago during a big football game. I followed it for for like 20 minutes haha
What a couple of idiots complaining because Mercedes is selling a off road vehicle to people who will never go off road. Do you know how many Corvette owners have never been to a race track? Or for that matter people buying Porsche's, ferrari's, lamborghini's, Maclaren's, Who will do nothing with them but go to Starbucks??? Hell do you know how many people by wranglers and don't go off road? Do you really think that every Ford F150 owner works in construction or has horses to tow any place? Vehicle purchase has very little to do with intended use, People buy vehicles that suit their personality that they can afford, Manufacturers build the vehicles that represent the personalities of their buyers period end of story.
Michael Daniels II But Vettes and Porsches Are Capable for it's original usage. if the owner uses it for grocerycar or golfkart , it's their will and not gonna say it's bad. But the problem is, these Pseudo-Offroader is 'Looks' capable on off road but in fact it isn't. too many design flaws are all over it. imagine if Porsche sells overpriced edition of 911which issued with some Polo's engines and sayin it's hard-core and fast as hell. this is it.
you got something wrong. they did not complain. They had fun with this g wagen. Look up videos about the real idiot, posting reviews about the g wagen, than you know what aim talking. Many idiots comparing the g wagen design with new "design cars". Those idiots know nothing about the g wagen.
you can buy a used one for like 40k and less if you go back to like 2003...people that buy these luxury 4x4's generally always buy new so the used market is usually flooded with unwanted vehicles...my dad bought a 10 year old land rover a few years back for 6k for a truck that went for like 60 new...fixing it is more expensive and they are just as plastic filled, cheaply built as anything out there
Good thing Nathan’s in good shape, that thing would have caught my belly and my head would have plowed a ditch! I laughed when Nathan talked about his Zumba classes, they paid off! Great Video guys! Don’t kill Nathan!!!
If you have a stock jeep with 9 inches of ground clearance and you lift it 6 inches you get 9 inches of ground clearance 6 inches more articulation though bigger tyres is the only way to give ground clearance even with 35inch tyres you’ll only get 13 inches of clearance
Incredible car and capability. Only Mercedes could get away with making a car like this...but for a car designed decades ago; the car is wayyyy overpriced. The profit margin on these things must be huge. Truly think the base G550 should be closer to the 70-80k price bracket.
they will charge whatever people will pay. compact cars are so competitively priced and margins so small because so many people can afford them and will go en mass to the better car. exotics pretty much get to name their price.
As long as its a status symbol it will continue to sell and make Mercedes a really good profit.Plus they really don't need to change anything but the G wagon does have some exclusive colors that you can't get in any other Mercedes vehicle.Its whats best for business and its the old saying don't fix what is not broken .Mercedes did not design the G wagon as a status symbol celebrities and the rich did that for them.
its a bureaucratic nightmare for Mercedes to sell this thing in many countries hence the price on the other hand its like a legacy US military vehicles like the abhram tank designed in the 80s updated throughout the decade
Mercedes hates this car but people wont stop buying them. They tried to discontinue it before and now they are finally going to update the exterior. People will probably hate what ever they do to it.
Portal axles drive the wheel through a planetary gear allowing gear reduction at the wheel, and thus reduced weight and stress for driveline components
I've taken pics with a Brabus G550 6x6 in Detroit. They are here but in small numbers. One of the Pistons has this (4x4 sq)vehicle. It is a beast! Oh updating a Jeep to similar levels would cost quite a bit and it does nothing for the overall value of the vehicle.
Looks great. But how top heavy is it? Although I wouldn't mind having one to play with,but that's more money than alot of homes cost.Not that I got that kind of money anyway.
Well it seems as if they think it can do it all. Although if it to top heavy I'm not sure I would want to hit a deep hole with one wheel or get on a steep sideways angle. The way Romans acting though it seems to me that he thinks it can be half sports car and half rock crawler. I will admit that I like the way it looks. But is abit of reality to much to ask? I guess it is easier though just to admire the way the thing looks and get carried away.Maybe I'm just to used to seeing Roman poke holes in certain other brands that I found it odd that he was so giddy over this one.
I love this car, would be intresting to see the price ranges and ability for a hard core jeep , Toyota cruiser, and the anticipated land rover defender, when ever they come out.
If you add 6 inches of lift to a wrangler you still have the same ground clearance because you’re not changing the distance from the axle to the ground
Sorry to tell you this, but the 4x4² is out of production by end of October. If you can find one, buy it now or never! The prices are already rising as seen at the AMG 6x6. This thing can be a very good investment ;-)!
You get what you pay for... I often wondered why- one would buy a vehicle from Mercedes, when there are ALOT of competitors.-THAT thought quickly leaves your mind, after you have owned one.-- Just search on autotrader for ANYTHING "G" class- and be prepared to be shell shocked on the price. 15year old g wagon, that cost more than a Brand New Jeep..-- It shows the long term capability of the G- Wagon. THEN Drive one..--YEP you see the value.

Not fanboys if you actually own and use one, but the price is ridiculous whether it had a jeep, Mercedes, or caddy badge on it

The saudi princes will probably enjoy this...
My dream 4x4!! This ride is just awesome!!!
1:00 adding a 6" lift nets exactly no additional ground clearance. It's onlywith larger tires or axle mods that ground clearance is gained.
Do R/C! True with solid axles like a Jeep, tires give you the clearance under the diff. With independent suspension, you do get the height with a lift alone.
if 9" of ground clearance is with 31s, you'd only have 13.5" with 40s. Definitely not getting anywhere near 18" with a wrangler.
LSanti Sorry but lifting the suspension even with ifs ground clearance doesn't change. The lowest point of your frame remains relatively low, lower control arm is not moved until talked tires are added.
Elijah Brooks I've installed multiple suspension lifts both on solid and independent axled vehicles. I agree the lower A-arm may not rise but the frame and most everything attached to the frame will go up. Only difference is the axle on a solid axled vehicle will not rise, but everything else will.
True a lift does not lift the solid axles but it does raise the frame, transfer case, tranny, etc. and helps you from becoming high centered.
No matter what, I think nobody can beat Salomondrin’s daily in depth review of his 4x4
Portal axles are sexy and thanks for the funny shot of Nathan getting run over.
You mean solid axles?
This is a timeless piece.
If I could own one if these I'd take it off road very often. Not serious trail and rock crawling because of the price of replacing anything damaged. But sand dunes, mild trails, and ice lake driving it would be perfect.
That bumper is called a Mansfield Bar
Even though it’s over $200k, I still think this would be a seriously awesome experience off road.
At 200k, no one is offroading this. Even these guys in the video are crawling around at half a mile an hour, scared as shit
These dudes are the best at what they do
Too bad that back bumper couldn't fold up to add the additional ground clearance when offroading
Brendan Leach you can just hack it off with a saw or have it removed at a garage
i think it unbolts pretty easily
I was thinking that same thing. The rear bumper needs to come off before you go offroading or all that ground clearance is pointless when your bumper gets ripped off or stuck on a rock.
It was because of us regulations in Europe we don’t have to have it
I distinctly recall an episode in which you showed us where we might procure one of these G-Wagons for significantly less than $200 grand.
The 6x6 isn’t legal in the US? That’s weird. I saw one in Morgantown, WV about two years ago during a big football game. I followed it for for like 20 minutes haha
But dude, there are always exceptions and special permits, just not for us average gear heads....
I LMAO at 11 MPG. This thing needs a diesel engine. Obviously if I question MPG I can't afford this thing.
G buyers dont care about mpg son
Crazy idea to drive over Nathan, that was cool!
I have a spare kidney and lung for trade

Gonna have to throw in a testicle and either an arm or a leg in.....

Well said brother !
Mernerner ehh no. Your opinion is short sighted
This is what you call a dream automobile.
Wait for the new E-Class wagon with portal axles. Straight 6 engine with additional electric help. It will be build, looks a little weired though.
mac stone the e400 squared is badass
I really hope it make to the market
In other words, rich mans Subaru?
Cool you guys were about an hour from where I live. Gorman has some good trails
Ever take a look at Traxxas, and this incredible rig? !?! Well, it's running in the 1/10th scale category. And it's pretty impressive!!!😎
Wish I could post a pic. Of mine ....
Did anyone else get really nervous/anxious when Roman drove over Nathan? 😂
Why? Because Roman can't drive or Nathan is fat? Roman can't modulate the throttle. Idiots.
@@yougear Zachary Martin is A person...so IDIOT maybe.
IDIOT.
I only like the G 4x4^2. I really dont like the normal G-wagon. But the Squared looks amazing
You should test this G wagon head-to-head against the Powerwagon and Raptor, in Gold mine hill
Wish I knew you guys were up there. Would have loved to check that thing out. Very cool truck. Too bad it’s so far out of reach for most people.

Nice so once you go round a corner or descend at at angle you'll just roll over....perfect.
Gotta love Nathan's humor xD
GORMAN!!! HUNGRY VALLEY!! I KNOW EVERY INCH OF THAT PLACE ON MY POLARIS SPORTSMAN 550!!!!! AWESOME!!
This puts a smile on my face
"I just don't understand some people buying it when they don't go off road"
Almost every LR4 owner 😭
I thought it was about the power wagon nathen! 😁😎 love the channel keep em coming you guys turned me into a truck lover
Gwagons make Roman and their owners happy, that makes this vehicle worth the money.
How about an Off-road review at cliffhanger 2.0 please lol
Sweet colour!

Was waiting for this since your last g class review!!! Loved that one loved this one too...
Great job... Keep it up 😎😎😎
How fun and beautiful is that thing? Awesome
1:03-1:36 Nice music background, Nathan...
This thing is gonna be amazing in Canadian snow.
Portal adapters are available for any g wagon and they are bolt on. 14k though
Rear fog light is on... as indicated in the dash cluster
I do a lot of off roading and no one ever takes these off-roading, only to the mall.
Sweet ride! 4x4 in my Yukon today. Would of been cool showing up in that.
*No guys with sunglasses were harmed in the making of this video!
Thank you for the video, you guys made it fun and entertaining.

They only made a 1000 of them. So you have the exclusivity plus it's a G wagon so you can expect high end materials.

Looks great. But how top heavy is it? Although I wouldn't mind having one to play with,but that's more money than alot of homes cost.Not that I got that kind of money anyway.
Top heavy means nothing if you don't drive it like a sports or a rock crawling buggy
Well it seems as if they think it can do it all. Although if it to top heavy I'm not sure I would want to hit a deep hole with one wheel or get on a steep sideways angle.

You only lock the front diff for tricky downhill or self recovery, same as a Unimog.
Michael Guerin and people lock both and ruin diff gear and sayin "this car is not reliable"
I Love it so much
2:13
man you messed up the rear bumper
Nathan is right, bigger rubber less wheel !!
Amazing vehicle and great video, but please no more freaking BELL!!
Step 1: cut off that idiotic rear bumper!
That is clearly there for production bumper height laws... and likely US ones, hence the after thought appearance
Wouldn’t be streetable anymore.
Only people who are buying this, will never take it off road. As a daily highway, that bumper is a smart choice.
If you lift a wrangler 6in you still have 9in of clearance because of solid axles. Larger tires are the only way to gain clearance.
I love this car, would be intresting to see the price ranges and ability for a hard core jeep , Toyota cruiser, and the anticipated land rover defender, when ever they come out.
This thing is AMAZING!!!
W123 and w124 begs to differ :)
I would only consider one with a diesel.

Yup same here

Yes the larger tires lift the axles
No dealership sells these for 225k... average asking price is 275k because they are very limited in production and all the 1%ers want one.
I was surprised to see it come it under 300K
This is probably the first and the last 4x4 Squared to see dirt. Anyway, this is my new dream car! One of them anyway.😂
How about a direct comparison between the g-wagon (as you can buy it) and a top of the line (from factory) Jeep off road and to the location
And the americans say the europeans make small cars.
Sorry to tell you this, but the 4x4² is out of production by end of October. If you can find one, buy it now or never! The prices are already rising as seen at the AMG 6x6. This thing can be a very good investment ;-)!
somebody need to figure out how to get those LED lights on the roof to work on the U.S spec versions, there must be a hack available.
You guys were very close. That is an amazing vehicle. But God would probably drive this... - Jeep Avengers.
