$200k 2024 Mercedes G63 AMG vs $40k 2004 Mercedes G55 AMG! - TheSmokingTire

Thanks to Keeps for sponsoring this video! Head to to get a special offer. The new Mercedes G63 AMG is not only shockingly popular in urban areas, but also the most popular variant of the G-Wagen sold in America! Strange, but true, considering one might argue that the AMG’s features actually detract from its off-road credentials. It’s also wildly expensive, at over $200k as tested, and depreciates significantly over time. How much capability, how much cool, and how much attitude can you get by going with the first-generation AMG variant from 2004 - the G55? Matt and Zack find out. Mercedes-Benz provided the 2024 G63, insurance, and a tank of fuel for this review. Use Off The Record! and ALWAYS fight your tickets!
