This is the Other Off-roading Vehicle forum. Shouldn't a topic about Ghey wagens be in the General Off Topic forum with all of the other joke items?

you guys are funny.

does anybody ever wheel a G-class at all, or are they truly a boulevard machine. for that matter, do range rovers ever see a trail?

i tried googling for g-class video today but didn't get anywhere.

Pretty sure we saw some G-Classes (or however you would pluralize it) on the Poison Spider Mesa trail in Moab a couple of years ago. Not a Benz fan so I am not certain...but they were the boxy ones. They seemed to do fairly well on that trail for the short time I saw them. Could probably hold their own versus most stockers.

that's cool.

i still can't find squat for video or commentary, except the occasional "off-road" review by something like motor trend. those complain that it drives like a truck. interesting, and very revealing, considering that it is a truck.

the basic vehicle specs for offroading are only ok, from a review i dug up clearance = 8.3", approach/departure = 36/27

3 locking differentials, though, which is one-up on the H2. which reminds me, i have to write those one guys about the eaton front locker.

So there are 4 things that it has better than my old s10 Zr2 (assuming the clearance is better...although I am not sure what it was on my s10)...and I managed to keep up with H2's. With a competent driver, and decent tires I bet it would be right on your tail 90% of the time.
