G wagon facts : This was first commissioned by the Shah of Iran, who was at the time a significant shareholder of Mercedes. Regarding many articles on the internet yes ! The genesis for the G-Wagon came out of an unrelated but massive 20,000-truck order from the Shah of Iran in the 1970s. A significant shareholder in Mercedes at the time, the Shah's order also stood for a tempting deal. To fulfill the Shah's requirements, the carmaker required external help in its production phase. This led to Mercedes collaborating with Steyr-Daimler-Puch, a military equipment manufacturer based in Austria. SDP built famous war machines like the Pinzgauer, a military transport with available 6-wheel drive systems. Mercedes further extended this collaboration when the Shah suggested that the vehicle be built as an all-wheel-drive SUV for military use in his empire

As a Sergent in RDAF (Royal Danish Air Force) we used these a lot for recon. However....This was in 1990, and they were more like a tractor. Very very agricultural and basic. With a 5 cylinder non turbo diesel engine at about 100hp, the speed was also very agricultural. The upside was, that you could repair them with a brick and a piece of wire.

I bought a 2002 G500 in 2022. Paid signifincantly less than $39,995 for it. It was a one owner California (rust free) vehicle in near new condition (its only issue is the front passenger window goes up a bit slow). In two years of driving including multiple long road trips it has been 100% reliable. It's worth more now than I paid for it. I love it.

I think I've laid hands on everything in the current lineup. The G-Wagen just feels two cuts above everything else. You can tell they put real effort into the little things and held themselves to a high standard. A lot has to do with how things on the body/interior feel when you interact with them. It really gives you the impression of solidity that you hear so often about.

There's a saying in the 4X4community: "one gets two types of 4X4 owners - the one's that owns a Gelandewagen, and the one's that WANTS to own a Gelandewagen".
