Benz's "hummer".

Its an SUV with military origins, and 3 locking diffs (for true 4 wheel drive). Its built, if you find one in good condition, alot better than you might think. A bit of overhang (especially on the rear), and the exhaust is the minimum-clearance point between the wheels (on the outside, right under the doors), but clearance isn't so bad, and if the exhaust was 1/2" higher, you could drag on the frame when necessary. Solid axles front and rear.

Hella wind noise, rickety/rattly truck, but comfy seats and lots of luxury features. STarts at about 80 grand. The looks grow on you, and from some angles its quite strinking.
