Its been a while since I have been on MBworld. I previously owned the E63, G55, 17 G550 and now I am contemplating on a G550 that has come on the radar.
For those that have owned both the G550/g63 and the G550 4x4 here are some questions for you-
1. Do you feel the ride is actually better in the 4x4 compared to the G550/G63? Maybe it was the rodes I was on or being away from the G for a while but I felt the ride was less "truck" like.
2. I think the G550 4x4 in my short drive was easier to keep straight and online, do the owners of the 4x4 feel this way too?
3. Any know trouble spots on the 4x4 or high maintenance areas?
4. Any retro kit system to turn on the roof LEDS?
5. Any other power step other then the crazy prices Brabus ones?
2013 S550 SOLD / 2016 S63 SOLD / 2017 GLS450 / 2017 G550 4x4 / 2019 G63 E1 SOLD / 2019 S63 COUPE
I own the G550 4X4 and got 19 G6S E1, but just traded the 19 G63 for S63 again, loved the 19 G63 but not for longer commute and they looked stupid side by side in my garage.
1- The ride on the G550 4X4 is way much better than the regular G550 OR G63 past 19 Model.
2- Way much easier to keep straight and on a high speed too, I tuned the ECU and it flies.
3- Drover it ONLY almost 4K miles in 2 years and 1 Year maintenance ONLY. just a heads up the fenders flares run around $14k each.
4- I turned mine on when I installed the laser and radar detector, It just needs a talented guy to do it, part for less than $200.00 vs. the Brabus Kit for $1300 and you need to drill in the roof. look at the pictures for the switch.
5- It way much fun going up and down without steps, but I heard there are some other cheaper.

Thank you for confirming what I felt. Now the search is on....
OK, thanks for the clarification. It will be nice if MB comes out with a 4*4 for the MY19+ G, but I suppose since it took MB forever to get the G63's rolling here in the US, hoping for a 4*4 variant is probably way too much to expect, at least for the time being.
