2001 Mercedes-Benz - G500

Product Details

THIS. . . is a 2001 Mercedes-Benz G500, finished in silver with a gray interior. Factory equipment includes locking front, center, and rear differentials, running boards, a trailer hitch, a sunroof, wood interior trim, heated and power-adjustable front seats, heated rear seats, and rear parking sensors. Modifications reported by the seller are limited to an ARB roof basket and tinted windows. Mercedes-Benz joined forces with Steyr-Daimler-Puch to create the original G-Class (W460). It was released in 1979 and aimed largely at farmers, soldiers, and adventurers; Beverly Hills wasn't on the company's radar yet. The G's upmarket ascent started when the extensively updated W463 arrived in 1990. It looked a lot like the original G, so it embodied a function-over-form approach to design, but it gained a longer list of features and a permanent 4-wheel-drive system. Civilian production ended in 2018. Power comes from a 5. 0-liter V8, rated at 292 horsepower and 336 lb-ft of torque. Called "M113" internally, it spins the four wheels via a 5-speed automatic transmission and a 2-speed transfer case.
