Braingears Expert Date registered: Apr 2006 Location: St Petersburg, FL Vehicle(s): G320 & ML320 Posts: 1450 | G500 4x4² The Mercedes-Benz G 500 4×4² stands to be one of the most rugged G-class entries yet, with a ground clearance similar to that of the 6x6 upon which it's based, 22-inch wheels, 325/55 off-road tires, and a unique bumper and grille. Power will be supplied by a 422 hp V8 engine, which should be more than enough to help you tackle even the toughest of trails.
Great Pictures | ||

Does anyone know if there's a part number for these, or if it's possible to order some? 6x6 had the same ones. | ||

With these proportions it looks like a toy, very ugly. The 6x6 is, although it is an over the top design, somewhat right because it's quite long compared to the width. This 4x4 is just wrong. This 4x4^2 is all over FB too. Way too many people drooling over the portals without needing them. Waiting to see the first ones in the rap videos with 30" spinners | ||

NHDave Extreme Veteran Date registered: Dec 2013 Location: Seacoast NH. Vehicle(s): 2004 AMG Posts: 465 | Re: G500 4x4 Beautiful clearance, huge wheels, neat color, odd stature, frail looking exposed front suspension members, triple wide fender flare, odd looking dilated pupil headlamps! I guess it's as different looking as one can make a G, without leaving the original design perimeters? The 6X6 carries the wheels, length, height and thus reserves the right to sport its off note features, this 4X4 doesn't seem carry it as well? I think I need to call it the, Gumvee! ? | ||

grazza Veteran Date registered: Apr 2010 Location: Australia Vehicle(s): W460 230GE 1988 - OM606 turbo diesel, 722.608 auto Posts: 277 | RE: G500 4x4 Love to see a W461 PUR edition of it. Diesel. Instead of all the bling (gizmos) and mega dollar paint job have an "expedition" friendly cabin and loadspace. Dual wheel carrier, barn doors. Strong front winch bar and no spoiler. Roof rack and ladder (especially as its so high) Tyre inflation system like the 6x6. I thought MB were actually going to make a wider G, not just bigger wheel flares. I can see why they coloured the outer edges black so it does not look so goofy in the bright colors. | ||

Does anyone know if there's a part number for these, or if it's possible to order some? 6x6 had the same ones. The 6x6 civilian is 463.272 I have spent quite a bit of time on EPC trying to find the part number for the roof mounted fairing and light bar without success. I doubt a US dealer or the MB Classic Center would be able to find it either, best bet might be GFG in Germany or ORC, but $$$$ | ||
