My company has the privilege of hauling Jay's cars and everyone agrees there's not a nicer customer to work with. Good to see he's feeling better and back to sharing himself with the world. One of the finest car collections there is.
@@napalmholocaust9093 What about all the private jets that were flown into Davos this week by the WEF members and speakers. Got an estimate on how many polar bears will die when all the ice caps melt?😳🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂
His laughter after accelerating kinda says it all, on how much Jay likes it. Most of these bought in the US most likely will never see so much as a dirt road let alone a off road trail.
Thanks Jay. I always love your enthusiasm and passion, and you share your thoughts on a "common" level. Kudos to your success, thank you for the many years of entertainment and I personally very much appreciate your sharing these wonderful, sometime historical, sometimes modern, and very much "rare" "to us" technical wonders. Cheers, man.
Looking great Jay. Glad to see you back. I don’t often pray or ask for help often but when you got burnt I was truly worried for you and asked the big guy upstairs to protect and help you get better and it looks like my prayers have been answered. Truly happy to see you back doing your thing 🙏🙏🙏
It's great to see the look on Jay's face when he hits the gas! He goes from "it's a great vehicle, but it's not my cup of tea" to "yeah, I wouldn't mind having one of these". Like he said-- it's all about putting a smile on your face.
I'm surprised they didn't talk more about the engine, the turbos are inside the engine, that's why you can't hear them, and why there's no lag. It's also a dry sump. And we can all own one for just $350,000.
..and actually they still make them as customer engines. One example is Pagani. Zonda, Huracan and Huyara have V12s from AMG The 4 liter V8 twin turbo engine is in newer Aston Martin cars.
I used to drive an armored G Wagon that was built by Mercedes in Stuttgart. What a dream to drive. Not enough leg room for the important people in the back, but I enjoyed it.
AFAIK there is no G-Wagon production in Stuttgart except maybe some engines. The armoured ones were build in Graz and some finishing work was done in Aichach. Not sure about the older ones (like pre-2000) built by Krauss-Maffei but I think they don’t have a factory in Stuttgart either.
Nice to see you back sir. Also liked your q&a with the ceo, where he started, how long he was with the company etc. it’s interesting to hear the back story of a guy like that.
'Like driving on the second storey'.. haha love that honest remark Jay! takes a little more to tame than a sports coupe, don't it.. Judging by all the laughter it definitely is a joyous vehicle =D
The first G wagon I seen was at fort huachuca Arizona. It was in the museum. Army green of course. I had never seen anything that beautiful. A box jeep shaped Mercedes. I was fascinated. That was spring 1994.
Jay, I'm an owner-driver of a Mercedes-Benz & also drive at the Mercedes-Benz AMG Driving Academies so I've driven a variety of AMGs yet never "Der Gelaendewagen". It is amazing that M-B could make that vehicle so stable with such a high center of gravity--Der Gelaendewagen is the ultimate onroad offroad vehicle.
Bought my first benz last year, What Jay said about the cup holders made so much sense cause these cars are built so logically lol If it don't make sense from a engineering stand point probably not going to make it onto the car.
Isn't funny, every single thing in those cars makes sense from an engineering point of view. I owned 15 and currently we have 6, I took apart a R129 1994 SL500 apart just for fun and my mind was blown on how advanced or over engineered those cars are
@@CanyonsCarver That was the last of those--at least in my experience. I bought an R230 and plastic underlies everything and at this age is deteriorating rapidly. And the top, OMG, I owned it for four years and I can count on two hands the number of times it worked properly after many efforts with proper service agents. The R230 at least was great when new, but supporting it long term... I will say that I LOVED driving it. Big, comfortable go cart with a big engine.
I used to have a GD300 diesel back in the day. A whole lot more basic than today's models. Flat out at 70 mph and slower than a fully laden truck up hill. But I loved it. No body roll. You get it up to speed on a country road and you could keep it there round the corners. Loved it and miss it. Lottery win to own one now. And this the one I'd have. Just terrific. Hope you're doing well Jay. Good health sir.
Jay, I have been wondering if You ever herd of Matt Wensel of Matt's Off Road Recovery on His 1961 Corvair that He Made into a 4x4 Recovery Vehicle as Well as redoing a Susuki LJ20 called "The Golden Nugget." I've herd You talk often about on how You enjoy projects that People create. This episode was very Interesting as never thought Mercedes would ever come out with a 4x4.
My 4x4 squared is my favorite car to drive at the moment. Like Jay said, it really does grow on you. I’ve always had G wagens around and have taken them off road on some really rocky and steep trails. On a 45 plus degree angle I did get the oil warning light and was a bit concerned. Maybe that’s something they fixed in this newest model. They’re definitely powerful but can’t seem to outrun the gas station!
I love how power even corrupts Jay into loving this G-Wagen I Hope Mercedes America let’s him buy this very car, even if it’s only to match his wardrobe Love the channel and the guy !!!
Love this vehicle. Especially with the big lift. The train said hello. I didn't know they were that heavy. Wow. Jay really got a kick out of it. Sadly out of the average guys price range. Saw one on Doug Demuro's channel. Very cool.😎😆😁🔥🔥♥😍😘
When I saw the train my first thought was Jay stepping into it and whipping in front of the train at the next crossing. Also, with a train/GW unexpected meeting you may actually have a chance at survival in this beast.
The new 4x4s supposedly have a transmission/differential issue which requires a recall. Owners have gotten a "Stop use" notice from dealerships. Supposedly will be fixed only towards the end of Feb or early March.
When the video first started I thought to myself, "Ha ha, he managed to find a car that is denim-colored like him." And then a few minutes later Leno goes, "It's denim-colored, like me!"
My dream car….love at first sight….I was a valet at Mercedes Benz Newport Beach at 19 years old…fell in love how the doors close and drove….if I ever…I will get me an old one
Mercedes actually started making again the old G-Class from the 80's in its factory in Algeria, mainly for military and police use. However, you can also get a civilian version. So there you go, if you want a brand-new heavy-duty G-Class with no added luxury, contact Algiers.
They actually build the G300CDI in Algeria- body similar to 1980s but modern tech (introduced in 2010, facelifted in 2016) similar to the last version of W463 (OM642 engine, fulltime 4x4 with VG150E t-case). But AFAIK they don’t sell them for export. At least I contacted them in November and I’am waiting for a pricelist ever since…
@runeveryday1069 I think driver and passenger airbag, ABS, ESP but no DPF so only Euro 3 emissions (can be upgraded to Euro 5 quite easily but everything higher including Euro 5 plus is a problem).
I would like to see this at an off-road event to see what it can do,I’m sure it’s impressive. I don’t think the camera audio really picks up the true exhaust note from that engine. I’ll bet AMG engineer Ernesto will be pretty excited to know that Jay Leno gave him a nod for his build quality. I love seeing these vehicles but they’re way out of my league money wise. Jay could afford one if he wanted.
@@TheillProductions , I took a look at their channel. Funny but they really pounded the crap out of the car with no mechanical issues. I doubt that even 5% of the buyers of an AMG G wagon would even come close to doing what these guys were do. I was cringing but I’m in my later 70’s and barely had the money to afford muscle cars of the 60’s and 70’s . Mercedes is way out of my league.
I love how Jay Rambles on about the importance of the 6.3 L motor and then asks Gunther if the engine in this one isn't actually closer to 6.2 L, at which point Gunther says it's 4 liters. Jay goes on to miss many important points, strongly indicating that he hasn't done any homework on this vehicle at all. And that's fine. Makes for good videos. Did he mention price? $250,000 to start.
@@I_dont_read_responses THESE engines like in the video are 4l twin turbos. Yes the decade old AMG 6.3 was actually much closer to a 6.2l. You know they haven't made those in a long time?
@@howardmckenna Oddly enough even the base Panda is quite capable off road, funny for what is essentially a shopping cart with a tiny engine. It was built to be an ultra cheap car, later morphed into different things.
Love your videos, watch them every Monday, and before that every Sunday, that's how I can say, I missed the Bronco. Loved the G wagon, don't get me wrong, but your new car videos always seem more like a commercial, While your restoration videos take you in elbow deep. I was real worried when you got hurt glad to see you doing better.
@@flyingv8293 It looked like the train engineer stepped on the accelerater when Jay was along side him. 🤨 That's the type of car that brings out the horsepower loving teenager in all of us.
Funny how long a way the G-Wagon came from the much smaller original military vehicle - before long, you'll be able to fit two originals in the most recent model. They already almost tripled in weight! 😅
Its kind of disappointing for both Jay and the head of Mercedes USA to not know the car they're reviewing here...For Jay: its a 4.0L TT V8 which is used in every iteration of 63 AMG cars for about 8 years now. For the head of Mercedes USA: This car has 577hp not 567....
Great to see the car of my dreams; Mercedes Benz G wagen on Jay Leno's garage. I've got 2 earlier w460 models and those are tanks in every sense of the word.
Sorry I'm not impressed at all! Those chrome exhaust pipes on the side are absolutely ridiculous. These "Monster G-Wagons" are also very popular with Russian oligarchs and sheikhs.
Nice review of the G63. It sounded like the MB guy wanted to talk more about the technical innovations in the vehicle. That would have been very interesting to learn about...
The front end raises up, a lot, when you jump on that throttle. The noticeable squat of the rear end is impressive. That's some kinda torque curve with a vehicle over 3 tons. Who doesn't love a G Wagon?
I saw a newer Toyota 4runner today in Venice, CA. It was covered in mud and had at some point rolled onto its side. Not sure if you could even open the passenger side door the damage was so bad. Made me smile. I see G Wagons all the time in Los Angeles. There's two on my small street. You can't swing a dead cat without hitting one in this town. I can't recall ever seeing one that was dirty,let alone one that looked like it had been off road.
It's a real shame that most folks who buy G Wagon will never use it for what it was meant to do. If anything they destroy their off road capabilities by putting big blingy rims and low profile tires on them. It's sad to see one of the most capable off roading vehicle with a glorious military heritage turned into a complete joke by such owners.

Jay, u are one tough dude. Fires, car accidents, rollovers, nothing stops u from doing what u love. Keep the videos coming!
His laughter after accelerating kinda says it all, on how much Jay likes it. Most of these bought in the US most likely will never see so much as a dirt road let alone a off road trail.

I'm glad that Mr Leno atleast mentioned some of the engineering highlights like the portal axels.
13:56 That engine sounds like it's from a tractor pull event. Big and beastly!
My thoughts exactly...you took the words right out of my mouth. Beastly...and Beautiful!
Not so longago AMG made V12s too. 6 liter engines with twin turbos. Used in G and S class.
I'm surprised they didn't talk more about the engine, the turbos are inside the engine, that's why you can't hear them, and why there's no lag. It's also a dry sump.
And we can all own one for just $350,000.
..and actually they still make them as customer engines. One example is Pagani. Zonda, Huracan and Huyara have V12s from AMG
The 4 liter V8 twin turbo engine is in newer Aston Martin cars.
AMG is actually still making customer V12s. At least Pagani is using them in Zonda and Huyara.

The respect Mercedes has for Jay: their US Director drops by on his way to the airport even if just just give Jay an "Hello" and a quick chat.
Mercedes AMG is one of my favorite
But will it do a burnout? It's been a while since you've done one, I suppose we all have to grow up a bit
I have to say that my favorite feature on that has to be the flush mount windshield.
The build quality of the current generation G is outstanding. Way over engineered. Arguably the most durable MB currently has in their lineup.
Thats why they had to call back most of them because the axles are breaking…
I LOVE IT!!! Good to see Jay too.

Side exhaust is a nice touch.
G-Wagons are for people who can't wait for their ICON to be built.
The disappointment of Jay when he said: it's 6.2 liters right, and the other guy: no it's a 4 liters engine...
Wonder if anyone on the street saw Jay in this thought the fame finally got to him.
Thanks for continuing to add variety to your videos Jay ❤
You've wet my appetite for G Wagon, I will own one this year. Good show 👏 👍
I saw a newer Toyota 4runner today in Venice, CA. It was covered in mud and had at some point rolled onto its side. Not sure if you could even open the passenger side door the damage was so bad. Made me smile. I see G Wagons all the time in Los Angeles. There's two on my small street. You can't swing a dead cat without hitting one in this town. I can't recall ever seeing one that was dirty,let alone one that looked like it had been off road.
It's a real shame that most folks who buy G Wagon will never use it for what it was meant to do.
If anything they destroy their off road capabilities by putting big blingy rims and low profile tires on them.
It's sad to see one of the most capable off roading vehicle with a glorious military heritage turned into a complete joke by such owners.
Probably stolen
I love that color! I might wrap or paint my 2 door mk7 GTI that color
Glad to see you recovered Mr Leno
Great looking SUV. Well done Mercedes Benz.
