The thread in the h3 forum got me interested in how the ghey wagon would compare to h2 stock vs stock.
Here is the specs I could find...
As typical for Mercedes vehicles, the G-Wagon is optimized to the use its designed for: It is safe, reliable, offers lots of room for passengers and cargo and goes as far as you can expect a car to go. It climbs up and down up to 80% grades, and is stable on lateral slopes up to 54%. Fording depth is 48cm (19in) (Manufacturer’s Specifications). Certainly, the G is more designed for off-road performance than most other SUVs, especially when it comes to durability, yet it is the most practical car on the road to get your groceries, to bring the kids to their favorite sports events, or just to get to work safely whatever the weather might be. Besides that, the G-Wagon offers a trailer tow capacity up to 3,500 kg (7700 lb) GTWR, depending on the engine choice.
80% grade??? BS. I'd like to see that.
54% side slope how many degrees is that like 46 or something, ok I belive that.
Water fording 19 in versus 20in in h2 pretty close.
What are the approach/departure angles? Cant find the info.
Also towing is fairly comparable.
We might have a pretty good competitor, but price and gheyness factor tip heavily toard h2. Also, the tires are small and street. Fukk that. You would have to add at least mud tires to climb even a 60% grade IMO.
Stock tires vs stock tires Hummer wouldn't even have to leave the pavement to out do the G-fagon.
G wagon owners, do your best to prove me wrong and then I'd like to hit the trails w/ one.
Also all name calling is said in jest (SIC?) and should be taken that way.
