Maybe its just me but the new G-wagon just lacks presence like the old one. Am sure its an awesome car to drive and all. But It just looks "mild" to me.

I had the same sentiments, but once you see the new ones up close, you will change your mind. Yeah the edges are softer, the sharp angles smoothed out, but they still have the profile, height, and presence.

it’s roughly 80mm-90mm. The 65s require a mixture of spacers and springs because the weight is different than a 63. I have a NIB lift for the G65 if you are interested. I was going to build another one and then bought the new 63 instead so I have the lift left over.

i am surprised how many looks and thumbs up I get in G63... it has massive presence... think it draws more attention than my supercars. 😊

I second that. I get just as much if not more attention in the G than I do in the Ferrari.

The only people who know the difference between the old and new models are the people on this forum. The general public isn't aware of the nuances of the change. I have owned both new and old models. General reaction is just the same. A G is a G as far as non enthusiasts are concerned.

Indeed true. In that respect, MB succeeded with their update to the G.

I'd be lying if I told you. My wheel installer showed them to me and I said let's do it. I have 305 Terra Grapplers and the wheels size is 20x10.

A little bit of water can be good for the off-road diet of the G from time to time. Every once in a while we get some rain in the desert here in AZ....
