    Evolutionary styling hides a much larger vehicle that's 4.8" wider. Click on each pic for full-size:

    Solid front axle gave way to IFS, though steering feel should be much improved with the rack-&-pinion system over the previous steering box. Transfer case is now bolted to the back of the tranny like with most trucks.

    Front, rear, and center lockers are still available, actuated by the 3 buttons between the air vents.

    They're currently building a purpose-built 4x4 version of the G500 that costs almost $230K!

    It costs $5K more than the V12-powered G65 AMG, despite having the "base" 4.0L Biturbo V8!
