I own a 2016 G550 Gwagon and just to let the public know, both pinion seals leaked fluids at 20,000 miles and being that the warranty expired, I had to pay $2200.00 for the repair. Buyer beware, as they are no longer the long life a buyer expects.
I have a bicycle. I can also off road, cross railroad bridges and go down really narrow streets. Parking is easy and my upkeep costs including fuel are minimal over regular.
Love the looks of the G, but it’s wayyyy too expensive. Closest competitor is probably the Range rover and that starts $35k less than this. Escalade, Navigator, LX600, and R1S are roughly $45k less.
@@BenHardyCars true, i forgot about that one. Point is there's so many other competitors and all are 30-50k less than the G wagon. Anyway, happy superbowl sunday! take the day off haha
I have a 2022g63 now love it but x5m comp I had before this was faster but obviously much lighter. X5m very underrated much rather have that than a range honestly
lol this is not a cross-shop vehicle ... you either want one or you don't. You either love it and think its the most beautiful thing on earth or you hate it
When will you buy one? I’ve seen few of your videos saying you would buy G550 over G63 , and one of your videos you got the car spec most closest to yours.
Have you ever done a video on the Ineos Grenadier? If that thing comes in at half the cost of this thing, I would consider it. This is just too much cash to take off road.
@@SueUTube it’s supposed to start at $97k now. So figure $110k with options. Still too expensive to take off road. Just get a wrangler or bronco if you want an “affordable” off roader.
Yeah, park this next to a Chevy crew cab or a Suburban. Neither will have the off-road capability, perhaps, but no one that buys this will be doing that, anyway. The G-Wagons are quite small. I was driving my 1990 535i e34 the other day (it was a dry, sunny day so I left my truck at home) and sat next to a G-Wagon. It's length wasn't much more than my old BMW.
Saw one today. My wife and I just laughed at why someone would pay a house note to drive this thing. Looks good but lasts like any other car, cost more to keep up and worth nothing if it gets a scratch
The cost makes it more exclusive. Rich people don't care about reliability, they have multiple 6 figure cars sitting around. Anything less is for peasants. Let them eat cake😂😂😂

To me these are just ugly and weird looking I heard these aren't to reliable as benz it's self but also from consumers I have heard these ride very rough compared to a range rover ts like a jeep but German
Most reliable vehicle I've ever owned. Got almost 150,000 miles on mine. It was ugly to me when I first saw it. Then I read about it and started researching and just fell in love. I love off-road vehicles and I've owned many. My G is by far my favorite. It does ride a little rough. It's a tank. Military vehicle. It can't be compared to a Range Rover. A Range Rover is very comfortable and very unreliable.
Absolute monstrosity!!! One of the most embarrassing and utterly useless cars/trucks ever made! How this is produced by the same company that built the SLR, SLS and CLS Shooting Brake, all cars of beauty, is baffling...

I'd definitely get the 550. If I ever do get one I'd definitely get a lightly used one. I love these things but I don't think they are worth $130k+.
Most def not worth it bih to weak
A slightly used one is $30k over sticker.
They’re worth no more than 50K….
@@leedanielson7452 they are some of the most reliable vehicles of all time, so yes they are worth more than that.
Yeah, I would just buy one secondhand😂😂
just bought the g550 final edition matte white. I moed from the gle 53 coupe
Both amazing, but its night and day. My dream G is truly a dream.
I have a ‘21 g550 and it’s perfect with all of the add ons. I don’t need to race in it
I have a 2023, and I was just wondering if you had ever driven a tank. You mentioned a few times it is like driving a tank. Just curious.

if thats the most you had to put out for a repair in 8yrs man thats great

Totally agree and I DID!
Love the looks of the G, but it’s wayyyy too expensive. Closest competitor is probably the Range rover and that starts $35k less than this. Escalade, Navigator, LX600, and R1S are roughly $45k less.
Closest I would say is the v8 defender and that’s about 30k less fully loaded
@@BenHardyCars true, i forgot about that one. Point is there's so many other competitors and all are 30-50k less than the G wagon. Anyway, happy superbowl sunday! take the day off haha
Yeah, you'll need the extra 35k you'll "save" on the Range Rover...for towing and repairs.

Good video Brother

Agree with you,550 is good enough
It’s available on the G550 standard. Watch the video again and try to comprehend.
550 is the way to go. The view out is just amazing. They should make a hybrid V-6 version because the gas mileage is horrendous.
All that luxury and no cooled seats . Smh
Those come extra
Will G550 be used for MBUX?
The vehicle does not heads up display, 360 camera system and 3D GPS map visuals. I'll keep my rangerover, which has all of this.
When 4RUNNER owners hit million dollar lottery 😂, but still have 4 Runner as backup 😊
You should do a comparison video of this to the wrangler 392.
there’s no comparison😂😂😂
Have you ever done a video on the Ineos Grenadier? If that thing comes in at half the cost of this thing, I would consider it.
This is just too much cash to take off road.
I haven’t yet
@@BenHardyCars you're great at reviewing vehicles. Thank you.

Ineos has failed in several key ways. Watch Harry’s review.
Yeah, park this next to a Chevy crew cab or a Suburban.
Neither will have the off-road capability, perhaps, but no one that buys this will be doing that, anyway.
The G-Wagons are quite small.

$155,000? Ineous Granadier costs $80,000 and ots equally capable and has the Waoh Factor. Grenadier is hard to beat.
Thanks!
Thank you!
I need one‼️
I have the car now
People who own or want G-wagons be like, "does it look good?"🤔 I guess 🤷♂️=🐑
Carbon trim is stupid on the G.
Saw one today. My wife and I just laughed at why someone would pay a house note to drive this thing. Looks good but lasts like any other car, cost more to keep up and worth nothing if it gets a scratch
STOP talking so fast AND back your face away from the camera..
if you gonna go G, might as well go all the way G63
These are worth MSRP, but unfortunately they're going for much higher
The cost makes it more exclusive. Rich people don't care about reliability, they have multiple 6 figure cars sitting around. Anything less is for peasants. Let them eat cake😂😂😂
Respect
$155,000 I don't want to hear a damn thing.
G63 all the way! G550 is for the want to be!😮
155k?
I'm definitely a "wanna be" then.
If you can afford this vehicle, you can afford the 63.
The 550 is a gorgeous wagon
Terrible fuel economy better to get a landcruiser
Why people pay so much money for this shit beyond me

Very reliable. Have this generation. 4 years - 0 issues. 40k miles.
Current Gen rides very smooth.
I wouldn’t take one of these ugly useless vehicles if they gave me one……😊
I would gladly take it 😊
No one will give you one, they are sold out for years.
