The G-wagon, or Geländewagon, is considered by many as overlanding royalty. Originally developed in Austria by Steyr-Daimler-Puch, it was then sold by Mercedes as a military off-roader. It was function over form and, in every respect, designed to be the ultimate go-anywhere, utilitarian vehicle. However, over the years, the G-Wagon has been increasingly adapted for the luxury market, leaving many overlanders disappointed. However, while it has become more refined, it has not abandoned its roots and still showcases the holy-grail front, center, and rear locking differentials and much more. Consequently, it remains an excellent choice for backcountry adventures, as demonstrated by Koibee G, Outdoor Punks, and Our Community Now. We’ve previously featured a number of adventure ready examples including this 1994, a 2014, and a 1983. Today’s 2014 Mercedes-Benz G550 offering has covered just 81,200 miles and is the perfect blank canvas for an expedition build. If you’d like a better idea of how this platform performs as round-the-world travel companion then check our feature piece on 4×4 Panda’s 1998 Puch 290 GD Mercedes G-Wagon.
