Normally, a Mercedes G-Wagon (aka G-Class) isn’t exactly a bargain. The SUV retains its value surprisingly well for a luxury off-roader, and even old models can sometimes sell for six figures. Usually, the only way to get a G-Wagen on the cheap is to get one from the military. However, it is still possible to …

What’s an easy way to make an SUV more ludicrous? Add wheels. Mercedes-Benz demonstrated this when engineers gave the outgoing G-Class an extra axle and pickup bed to create the G 63 AMG 6×6. And as an iconic off-roader, the Jeep Wrangler has had its share of extreme modifications. But Doug Demuro has located one …

Mercedes has made some fairly wild pickups. Engineers took a last-gen G-Class, added a pickup bed and an extra axle, and created the G 63 AMG 6×6. Customizers created the closest thing to a factory E-Class pickup. And it’s still possible elsewhere in the world to buy a stripped-down G-Class pickup. But when it comes …

Some of the most extreme versions of the Mercedes G-Wagon, like the G 63 AMG 6×6 and the G550 4×4 Squared, can seem more like Transformers than actual usable vehicles. When even a base G-Wagen offers more capability than many will tap into, it can turn these luxury SUVs into symbolic toys. But the G-Class …

For a luxury brand, Mercedes has made quite a few pickup trucks. Blurring the line between white- and blue-collar was the Funmog, a luxurious Unimog. The original G-Wagen could be had as a pickup, and right before the updated G-Class debuted, Mercedes brought the pickup back. Albeit with 6 wheels. There was also the X-Class, …

Those who spend six figures on an SUV have discerning tastes. Customers like these are what drive Land Rover to make sure its Range Rovers can still ford rivers, even though most of their time is spent ferrying people to airports. It’s why the Rolls-Royce Cullinan can win rally races with little-to-no modification. And it’s …

The new G-Class is offering the perfect blend of capability and top-notch comfort, in a uniquely packaged performance vehicle that only Mercedes can create. It may be overwhelming to decide what features or packages will make the most sense for your lifestyle use. Sometimes, too many options can make it harder to choose. So, we …

People often think off-roading requires specialty vehicles. So, they put up a Jeep Wrangler’s or Land Rover Defender’s drawbacks to be able to crawl over rocks. Or they shell out large sums for Mercedes G-Wagons or Rolls-Royce Cullinans. But then they worry about damaging their expensive SUVs. And while inexpensive off-roaders like the Suzuki Jimny …

Celebrity vehicle ownership can be a mixed bag, especially with high-end SUVs and trucks. On the one hand, some celebrities are trained drivers, both for movies and racing. Others, like San Antonio Spurs star Kawhi Leonard, are content to stay humble with their SUVs. Or, like Jay Leno’s Bronco, they go for well-kept classic style. …

Although some mod it too far, what keeps the more extreme G-Wagens from being too groan-worthy is Mercedes’ dedication to keeping the SUV a luxury off-road tank. True, a Suzuki Jimny offers bare-bones buffoonery, but there’s something about a 6-wheeled pickup that supersedes logic. And even without extra wheels, the G-Class, like the Rolls-Royce Cullinan, …

When it comes to modern off-roading, the Suzuki Jimny and Mercedes G-Class are about as different as two vehicles can be. The Jimny, as it’s been from the beginning, is a compact, simplistic, and inexpensive off-roader. Think of a stripped-down, small Japanese Wrangler, and you’re not far off. The G-Class, on the other hand, is …

‘Value for money’ isn’t usually applied to the Mercedes G-Wagen. Although it depreciates less than most, the luxury SUV can come across as a toy. But the G-Wagon’s military roots make it a legitimate off-roader. It’s also a popular platform for tuners like Brabus and Lumma Design. But it’s also been modified by Mercedes itself, …

Luxury automaker Mercedes-Benz has made the plunge into the electric market. In a shocking announcement the company revealed its plans.

Owning a supercar is the ultimate dream for many people. It's also a fantasy that may be unreachable due to the high cost -- until now.
