They're pretty few and far between - 70 series Land Cruiser trayback are good trucks, but I think one of them would be better. | ||

Translated with Babelfish... The history of "G-wagen" In 1972 the German car industry Mercedes-benz and the Austrian Steyr-Daimler-Puch, specialised in the manufacture of vehicles of pantodapoy' territory, found joint the GFG (Geldendefahrzeug Gesellschaft mbH) a kajnoy'gja company aiming at the growth and production of young person "Euro-tzj'p": A new designing and military specifications light "G-wagen" ("Geldndewagen"), vehicle of pantodapoy's ground, with movement stoy 4 wheels and beneficial charge of half tone, the likely substitute of DKW of/Auto-Union Munga and Willys M38. When the drawing "Euro-tzj'p" nayagej', the GFG assembles those who more military orders can and are turned to the political market, offering him "G-wagen" as alternative proposal in British Land and Range Rover. The wooden model of "G-wagen" is completed in April 1973 while the final prototype is ready in the 1974. The production of vehicles of line ("baureihe") W460 begins on 10 February 1979 in the factory of GFG, in the Graz of Austria. "G-wagen" they are manufactured by galvanjsme'ni sheet-metal and are assembled in the hand, without no difference ana'mesa in the military and political vehicles. Up to 1992 are produced in total 6 models of W460 of line: 230G (M115 V23, 4-roll, 2307 kyv.ek., 90/120 of HP petrol engine), 230GE (M102 E23, 4-roll, 2299 kyv.ek., 125 HP petrol engine), 280GE (M110 E28, 6-roll, 2746 kyv.ek., 156 HP petrol engine), 240GD (OM616 D24, 4-roll, 2399 kyv.ek., 72 HP engine diesel), 250GD (OM602 D25, 5-roll, 2497 kyv.ek., 84 HP engine diesel), 300GD (OM617 D30, 5-roll, 2998 kyv.ek., 88 HP engine diesel). In this line belong also the CKD (Completely Knocked Down)"G-wagen" that is assembled in Turkey (Aksaray) for the needs of Armed Forces of this country In 1992 the line of W461 replaces in the lines of production the W460. The "G-wagen" is simplified and the available models is limited from 6 in 3: 230GE (M102 E23, 4-roll, 2298 kyv.ek., 122 HP petrol engine), 290GD (OM602 D29, 5-roll, 2874 kyv.ek., 95HP engine diesel), 290GDT (OM602 D29LA, 5-roll, 2874 kyv.ek., 120HP turbo engine diesel) H line of W462 includes exclusively the CKD (Completely Knocked Down) military vehicles that are assembled in Greece for the needs of Armed Forces. Finally the production of luxurious line of W463 begins in 1990, with in total 9 "top-end" models, that aim have the satisfaction of wish of customers for luxury and comforts: 230GE/G230 (M102 E23, 4-roll, 2299 kyv.ek., 125 HP petrol engine), 300GE/G300 (M103 E30, 6-roll, 2960 kyv.ek., 170 HP petrol engine), G320 (M104 E32, 6-roll, 3199 kyv.ek., 210 HP petrol engine), G320 V6 (M112 E32, 6-roll, 3199 kyv.ek., 215 HP petrol engine), G500 V8 (M117 E50, 8-roll, 4973 kyv.ek., 241 HP petrol engine), 250GD (OM602 D25, 5-roll, 2497 kyv.ek., 94 HP engine diesel), 300GD/G300D (OM603 D30, 6-roll, 2996 kyv.ek., 113 HP engine diesel), G300DT (OM606 D30LA, 6-roll, 2996 kyv.ek., 177 HP turbo engine diesel), 350GDT (OM603 D3Ä, 6-roll, 3449 kyv.ek., 136 HP turbo engine diesel).
