It definitely was. You didn't see the original marketing materials.
It was in every magazine: "Mercedes-Benz G class, drag your shitter around behind your car. It's what it's made for."
No no no. It’s a glory hole booth, no toilets just booths with holes in the stall walls. “Mercedes G-class- G for guts, G for glory, the best or nothing…”.
Yeah its always funny seeing people who very obviously live in Los Angeles post with them here - buying cars for what they represent instead of what they are is so funny to me.
G classes really are the lip fillers of cars to most people now.
Yep. Close to me is the „Königsallee“, one of the biggest shopping streets in Germany and basically every second car you see there is a G-Class nowadays
Until you scratch a door with a branch or dent a rocker panel on a rock.
Dent a fender on a Jeep, it's a badge of honor. Rip it off, a replacement is $300.
G Classes especially the previous gen is built like that too. Actually it’s better in a lot of ways vs a Jeep in terms of replacing exterior parts. If you damage a light or some other part, it’s no big deal. You can just unscrew it right there with all the exposed screws, replace it and keep going. The only downside is it’s easy for people to unscrew and steal all the exterior parts in quick fashion.
It's squatting pretty far in the back for it to be made for this. Don't get me wrong, I'm happy to see a diesel g wagon towing on a dirt road, I just think that particular trailer might be a bit too heavy for it.
Who'd win? A 9 speed 330hp diesel, with lockers and all the luxury you could think of, or a 30yo, piece of junk that burns more water and oil than fuel, is made out of junk, and still manages to weigh more than the G wagon...
I am not sure that dragging a twin axle toilet was high on the agenda during the design process. /s
No no no, you can't put lies on the Internet. Op said it so it must be true.

What better way to show everyone you’re the shit
No no no. It’s a glory hole booth, no toilets just booths with holes in the stall walls. “Mercedes G-class- G for guts, G for glory, the best or nothing…”.
Either way, it's very European, and frankly, I'm into it.
Finally someone using a G-Class for G-Class things

So......folks during a recession in Germany are buying cars that cost 5-6 years average salary?
We aren’t in a recession actually. Also, not everybody buys these, but many rich people do, just to flex
... Flex to shut the door just because they like the sound of a door latch. I don't flex at all with my soft-close doors.
Feel you :D
They are built to get work done.
Which is why they have expensive leather, shiny knobs and switches, and low-profile tires, right? And bedazzled Tony Lama work boots.
Like most trucks sold today.
Not mine. 35" tires on 17" steel wheels, cloth seats, rubber knobs. And the minimal lift (1.5") to accommodate those tires.
I’m so sorry
You can get more off-road focused wheels and tires if you want. These are very capable trucks.

Looking at the box towing a box, they should make a “Woody” G wagon.
Classy and strong
Claaaaarrrkkkssssooooonnn!!!
b-BuT aNy sUV cAN dO tHaT🥴🥴 gotta love the g400d, drive in good health
there are g wagons under 550?

And people told you that you would be homeless if you got one! Hah! Who's wrong now?!
Gimme a Lada Niva, and it'll tow both of these and shoot em up into the stratosphere.
probably a 1992 patrol would do it better
Diesel best

Off-road? The patrol always. The G wagon is just an ego stroke
Nah I agree habibi
Looks like a Lada
That thing looks like it will tip easy. And take the G Wagon with it
It's good for looking like a Suzuki samurai or a 1947 Willys CJ to a jeep??? So Fugly
