When conditions become more and more difficult, is when a true all-rounder comes out. We are accustomed to lately TT-looking all-terrain cars but are camouflaged. And though Mercedes still retains a real all-rounder of those who no longer remain as is class G, the German brand wanted to give a twist and turn it into the unstoppable drive. So it became a huge pick up with four individual seats and cargo area distributed 5.80 meters of length on three high axles, with a distance of 46 cm to 100 cm of soil and fording depth, the Australian Army has long used.
