Sons From Different Mothers? Jeep Wrangler Vs. Mercedes G Wagen, Which Is Better?

The Jeep Wrangler and the Mercedes G Wagen serve similar purposes but go about providing said features in extremely different ways. It almost does not make sense to compare the two vehicles, yet due to the off-road capabilities of each vehicle, these muscularly built automobiles should square off in the ring, allowing the public to know who is the true off-road king.

On one side of the ring you have the Jeep Wrangler and the Jeep brand, its origins beginning as a vehicle that has been around since the 1940s, having helped out in the effort against the Axis powers.

Wrangler. The G is simply too expensive for what you get. It would be right-priced with a 50% reduction.

The question that is answered is: which is the better off-roader. Which the Jeep would obviously be for many different reasons.

If the question truly was, "which is better?" then the result may be different because the G-Wagen caters to a different clientele and mission.

Pointless comparison - no one is cross shopping these. Every G I see is chromed to the hilt and seems to be the wife's ride.

Or the ghetto-pimp, rapper, baller, drug-dealer types.

Wrong, I know that I specifically cross shopped these vehicles. Jeep was winner as 95% of the vehicle for 50% price and available with diesel torque. Plus much higher residual value.

Better question - which would you rather be in if you were hit by another vehicle from the side? Wrangler has no side air bags nor side curtain airbags. Head meet glass and metal.

Neither for me. If I want a serious off road machine I would get a Raptor but wouldn't mind a vintage defender restored with a Chevy or Ford small block and modernized electronics for reliability...

I find it funny that you think a Raptor is a "serious" off-road machine.

The Raptor would be serious enough for my lifestyle as Im not doing the extreme off-road stuff or trekking through the Grand Canyon. More like hauling my boat to the cottage and exploring back roads or hauling shit. My daughter does offroad camping but drives a heavily modified 4runner.

Then you aren't looking for a serious off-road machine as you originally stated
