The Mercedes-Benz G Wagon has long been a favorite of militaries around the world due to its reliability, toughness, and off-road ability.
The 240GD G Wagon you see here was originally deployed with the Singapore Army and it's now being offered for sale.

Fast Facts - The Mercedes-Benz G Wagon AKA Glandewagen
Mercedes-Benz started working on the vehicle that would become the G Wagon in 1972, collaborating with Steyr-Daimler-Puch who had extensive experience building 4x4s.
The original concept for the G Wagon is credited to the Shah of Iran who was a major Mercedes shareholder at the time.
Mercedes developed the G Wagon to compete with the likes of the Land Rover, Range Rover, Land Cruiser, and Jeep ? targeting both civilian and military buyers.
The first generation G Wagon was the W460 version and it would remain in production from 1979 until 1992 when it was replaced with the W461.
The Military Spec Mercedes G Wagon 240GD / Wolf
The Wolf version of the G Wagon was specifically developed for use by the military, the model was adopted by over 45 armed forces around the world including the United States, Australia, Canada, the United Kingdom, and Singapore. The 240GD version of the Wolf is powered by the 2. 4 liter Mercedes OM616 inline-four cylinder diesel engine, power is somewhat limited at just 72 bhp and 101 lb ft of torque though they?re famed for their reliability and longevity much more important features for military use than outright speed.

Power is sent to all four wheels by way of a 4-speed manual transmission and a 2-speed transfer case, and the W460 rides on coil spring suspension front and back, with telescopic shock absorbers, and live axles.

The key competitor for the Wolf has always been the Land Rover Defender and the two vehicles battled for decades for military contracts.
With the recent discontinuation of the original Defender the G Wagon is now a favorite of dozens of militaries worldwide.
The Wolf you see here is a 1990 model and as mentioned in the introduction, it was originally deployed with the Singapore Army. During its military service it is likely due to limited use and the fact that Singapore itself is just 31 miles long by 17 miles wide
