Room for Squareds: 2017 Mercedes-Benz G550 4×4² Now for U.S. Sale

We've already driven the thing, and your recipe against the already extremely robust G550 is more of everything: 7.9 inches of extra legroom, 15.8 inches deep wading extra, an angle of approach of 21.6 degrees more, 23.4 degrees more in disruption and 13.8 degrees extras to the output. The front track is wider by nine inches, 10 inches back.

Three feet of water? No problem. Boulder on the path to a foot and a half? 4 × 4² can straddle with an inch to spare. By comparison, the Hummer H1, the vehicle that could climb vertical walls of six feet, 4 × 4² in almost any measurement trails off-highway. One of the few things 4 x 4² can't better that an H1 is traversing a slope. That has limited to 28.4 degrees, compared with 30 in the Humvee.

The V-8 4.0 liter twin - turbo with 416 horsepower and 450 pound feet of torque is equal to the regular G500, as it is the seven-speed automatic and the triple differential lock. The chassis is very customized, but Mercedes did nothing to steel frame of G, we can report when a company test pilot us accelerates down a pass from Austrian mountain, head banging against the ceiling of Alcántara, is much strong. In the United States, the G550 4 × 4² is more likely you roll up to a L.A. nightclub. But when Mercedes says "all-terrain", it is not what they really mean?
