The V8 sound and Those door clics Worth every penny
G63 and/or Brabus 4x4 are WAY better. This is just a fraction of those
@@nyckae8587 sorry but whats actually better in the amg/brabus except interior comfort?
@@nielsoudegriep2900 mor powah baybee
@Niels Oude Griep it's more rare and unique as well. You hardly see any brabus vehicles
@@nyckae8587 yeah its more rare, but whats 'WAY better' about it? Yes it pushes more power, but other than that except interior its the same beast
3:23 the g-wagon doors closing will never get old
G Wagen door locks should be an optional Apple text tone. And that V8 wouldn’t make for a bad ringtone either.
This is an excellent idea
Godamn😂😂😂😂
Totally figured you were still in Cali from the vehicle in question 😂
First here, this 4 × 4² is a Monster
4 x 4 over 2? Come on man the school year is almost over dont remind me about my math class!
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
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 👀
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.
Doubt that this thing can get up to curb
Guess nobody spends 250.000 $ to go offroad with this thing. It's a show off car, if you want to go offroad get a regular one without the AMG badge lol
@@TrafficDE They do in the Middle East, but they also have enough money that damage to the vehicle is irrelevant to them.
@@Paco1337 I have driven mine in just about any terrain you can imagine except narrow rock crawlin canyons. My has a stage 3 tune from Weistec and it is the most competent off road vehicle I have ever owned or driven. IT'll go over the curb you can hook a chain to it and drag the entire road with you.
@@TrafficDE I do all the time.
Honey wake up there’s a new tedward video
the best g wagen to combat awful NE roads
Wow. That is awesome. The dash seems to line up with the rooftops of the other suvs and pickups. I love the G
I saw one of these the other day in Bellevue, WA and it was an insane thing to see on the road. Can't imagine seeing a 6x6
yea these are nuts... the 6x6 is next level. my brother shared pic of them driving side by side on the way to an AMG car meet in charlotte
Worth it for those doors alone. Thankfully you can convert a regular G-class to portal axles if you actually needed the extended off-road capability over a regular G (not very likely).
You really have some of the best commentary. It's obvious you have a wide breadth of knowledge in the way you deliver information. I'm hoping you get the chance to drive some Ferraris soon. I'd love a Pista or GTC4Lusso review from you!
Thank you! I hope you enjoy the classics as well. May have some 60's Ferrari incoming
with your every video, i do be chillin chillin
Lol interesting choice of that fire station on rt. 30 for an intro. I used to live right near there!
It's tricky to find a safe place to stop and take your time without people walking around you in a parking lot!
@@TedwardDrives I used to take car photos at a church lot in Dedham near Noanet woodlands.. but you are the expert. Keep it up!
@@cbcsmithers Too far away from Boston Motorsports. I try to keep it local for these ones
2:02 why are you talking like Doug DeMuro? 😂😂
That's the only Mercedes I like. I would totally drive this every day or until it breaks down 😆
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.
makes driving relaxing, fun, & entertaining!
Yess im so happy you drove this thing, there's not enough content on it on youtube
Thanks God I will buy one for myself
I like how i watch a $250k car, when i can t even afford a car :))
It do be like that.
Oh it’s Weston that vehicle definitely fits in that town. I know that place because I lived the town over in Wellesley
Mr Ted, great video!
Thanks!
Baby Unimog
Best monster truck ever
I read the title as 6x6 and was terrified to see that squeeze down normal roads.
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)
@@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.
@@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.)
It's so beautiful and big
Driving that thing around Weston is nuts
Now a 6x6
that things sick!
I love Boston 🥺❤️ and g wagons lmao
Perfect for a trip to your local grocery store!
Middle age moms be like
My uncle has a 2011 g55 AMG IT HAS SO MUCH BODY ROLL
Cool and informative vid👍😊As a car collector I wonder if this G500 4x4 squared would be better to have for future than my low! Mileage 2006 G55 AMG.. I have seen people are devided🤔🤔
Yess yess!
Unexpected Review!
Ted: I’m 5’9” Me: My man!!! Ted: I’m small...... :/
Haha I don’t mean I’m short but I’m pretty slim so I consider myself small relative to the people im around
I fail to see how that could be worth anywhere near what they charge for them.
Love the review
Thanks!
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)
First time this early, before watching the video it’s absolute monster
This is what my Großvater drove to school with.
we are literally flooded with these things in Bratislava Slovakia. Here are too many G wagons as well as 4x4 Squared
tj hunt
Isn’t that the 4x4 that was in yesterday TJ Hunt’s video?
Not unless he was in Boston haha
So this is just basically a more refined and premium German Hummer H1?
Depends.. if I really wanna rumble and tumble… ya I would use the Hummer H1…G550 to go off roading to camp sites or travel to the mountains in the snow.
..And you won't feel like you could brake or maneuver on the highway in an emergency. The tacoma steering doesn't easily return on center and is bad in general, does it have that axle?
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.
2:30 that sounded weird
Very nice 👍
9:43 that Jeep is a mere peasant compared to that thing.
Excess squared!
💯
Keep it up for the sake of humanity
In this price point one can buy a luxury suv..
it's not about price point, it's about preference
wtf is the point of the carbon fiber fenders........... if you take this off roading that carbon fiber is fucked lmaoo
That mercedes looks like it is hard to steer sheesh
Why do they call it g550 in the US and in Europe they’re only g500‘s?
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!
Pure marketing. Makes people feel like it’s an upgrade
I doubt anyone who buys these will be off-roading or using its capabilities.
The jeep 😂
Damn,what a beauty..
🤤
Edit: a crazy beauty,imo.
outta my way poor person.
So damn nice haha
Cheap Pirelli rubber for a 250k car. That is what I buy and I love cheap
Rhd conversion anyone?
I like it. 😁👌🏻
-mpg?
-uhhh, yes
This costs more than my house.
Does it come with a fridge?
You sound like Casey Putsch.
I get that a lot. Maybe he sounds like me 🤔
YOU WISH BABY (not really, sorry didn't mean that). It's like your personality changed the moment you climbed into that car, man, even with the Mazda driver. I suppose it must the confidence the car gives you, sitting taller than everyone, a literal magnet attracting stares as it drives through traffic.
Lol it’s a joke
you can daily anything if you're rich enough
(trying to remember pemdas) Uhh...The G550 64
😂 we used “please excuse my dear aunt sally” to remember
You can go anywhere! Except a parking garage 🤦🏻♂️
The US doesn't allow the light bar to work
There is something wrong with name of the video.
If i am being honest this thing is cool 😎 but idk if it is 250k cool but hey maybe i am to poor to understand
🤣🤣
G-Class is an SUV though, not a truck.
be sure to tell the owner after they jump it so they know. But its body on frame. Seems fair to say truck
@@TedwardDrives But truck implies there's a cargo bed, which the G-Class doesn't have. SUVs are body-on-frame, it's crossover SUVs that aren't. Unless it's American terminology?
@@alp732 Americans call everything that's body-on-frame a truck. Like an Escalade
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.
@@nirfz Still not a truck though.
“I don’t think it would fit in a parking garage”, you could always do a John Olson and cut the roff of it.
Yes he actually cut the roof of his G-wagon 4x4^2, yes it looked like shit and no i have not and will not forgive him for it...
Made his own galendawagen landaulet? Cause mb really does have a rag topped version of this.
Edit: I looked it up, and found it. Thanks, that is crazy!
A more enthusiastic Topher
Yes you could because you only live once
you could - but it couldn't. not for long. ain't no landcruiser.
A serious off road machine.....that if it got a rock chip on the hood I'd cry for days. Sorry, for the price, just not practical. Who's honestly offroading in this?
howdy
Hey Charles!
Mercedes G550 4x4 Squared...
The official car of "I want a Jeep, but I'm too classy and rich to do Jeep things."
.
I am the only one thinking that this car is way too expensive and a little bit overrated? Its a great car, dont get me wrong...... But..... Idk
You are
Rather have a Rubicon and the extra 180k to buy any accessories I wanted.
bro you spelled "wagon" wrong
G Wagen is short for Geländewagen. In this context I spelled it correctly...bro
It's uh...it's German. Mecedes-Benz is a German manufacturer. o-o
@@TedwardDrives oh ok yeah I was looking it up to see how it should correctly be spelled but I didn’t find anything so I assumed “wagon” was correct but thanks for letting me know
It's not as big and bulky as he's hyping it to be. Seen a few in nyc and yeah they nice but just another over priced pavement queen
It’s not that tall and wide ?
"That's a little misogynist" No it isn't. It's pointing out that women are awful drivers overall. 90% of poor driving incidents I see in NJ and NY, it's women behind the wheel.
These things are the stupidest, most outlandish, incredibly unnecessary ways to spend 250k on planet earth. There is literally no reason to have one unless you're taking it off-road, but I guess people feel like they ought to anyways 😂
Hope Mercedes make a facelift of the 4×4 squared.
