great spec and i was new to G wagon and Benz as well. My G63 also has trail package and i love it. You really see the difference between comfort and sport modes and Rims are terrific looking. Suggestion, opt for Carbon Fiber interior as i did since it will match well with steering wheel... it really gives a sport look... interior jewels. my supercars all have carbon and more the better.

night package a must so great choice. two tone a must as well.

I live in NJ and used the heating steering wheel and was very disappointed... doesnt get very hot. my prior RR would get very warm.

everything else is personal taste. nice spec!

Looks great don’t forget wheel locks.

Assume you are going with silver calipers with the olive exterior?

I’m boring and got standard steering wheel but some don’t like the dinamica on the wheel as it can show wear over time but it does look really good.

Didn't realize silver calipers were an option? I don't see them on the 2021 US spec order guide?

What is the reason to pick wheel locks?

Depends on where you park but I always get wheel locks to make it harder for somebody to take the wheels/tires. It's never fool proof but it'll make things harder.

A long time ago my sister's Accord was parked at her condo over the holiday break when she was in grad school, and when she got back to town her center caps and the lug nuts were gone from the four tires, so the only thing that stopped them from putting it on bricks were the wheel locks.

I guess if you park in the garage and don't leave it somewhere unattended for a long time it's not really necessary, but it's only a few hundred bucks.

Unique and VERY cool! I can't wait to see the photos when you get it. The carbon is cool inside, and it's more forgiving than the piano black, but I have had both and you will love it either way.

Pretty loaded build. My only comment is make sure you really want the piano black trim. It scratches and shows finger prints really easily. It also looks like the black plastic trim that is common in cheap cars these days. In terms of feel, it will feel alot higher quality than plastic since it is real wood in the G Wagon, but then that gets back to my first point about scratches and finger prints.

Most here prefer carbon fiber. I went with the matte grey wood.
