Gwagon vs Rubicon Vs LandCruiser... great vid!

Now for something not so doom and gloom about the 2019 G.

Not sure how to embed YouTube videos but definitely worth watching, even with English subtitles. These guys do what I’d consider an extreme test of their offroad ability. Far more than American YouTubers would attempt.

Spoiler alert: the G legitimately and soundly defeats the Rubicon despite its M&S tires!

Enjoy!

Very good video and review... had to rub it in with my Rubicon friends a little...

Another couple of favorite videos of mine, focusing on off-roading and practical experience and usage:

4XOverland experiences with G Wagons
Expedition-ready Mercedes G500
The StPierre White video is one of my favorite G videos on the web... if not, my outright favorite.

Of note, Motor Trend Head2Head did a wonderful comparison on the Rubicon vs 19’ G550.

They ran them through the snow and Moab. The Jeeps all terrain tires gave it the victory in the snow but the over all victory went to the 19’ G.

Wonderful vid but only way to watch is to get a subscription.

With a real set of all terrain tires, even in stock size, nothing is beating the G550 Offroad in stock form!

My November delivery can’t come soon enough!

Yeah, he's a super experienced Aussie overlander and has some great pointers. Congrats on the new G, mate.

Well I’m heading out to the Las Vegas Treffen/G Wagon meet on Nov 2nd... then I’ll probably hit Moab and Silverton in Colorado on the way back. A bit late for the Alpine Loop, but hopefully some trails will still be open.
