Technic^™ Mercedes-Benz G 500 PROFESSIONAL Line - 42177

I have done a bunch of Technic builds and this one is definitely one of my favourites. The instructions were quite good overall with few errors - nothing that affected my experience with the build. I had all the pieces - thank you Lego for great quality control on this one. The organization of the packages (20 in all) made the build very enjoyable. Thank you Lego for a great experience and ride! I had a lot of fun with this one.

This set is one of, if not the best, designed and developed sets I've ever acquired and built. The attention to detail and the care put into its creation make me think Lego has the best automotive design engineers. The suspension is so realistic that it reminds me of my repair and maintenance work during my time as an auto mechanic. Congratulations to the Lego design team.

This is unmistakably a G-Wagon, the Manufaktur copper orange color makes the set standout even more with its iconic design. The build takes away the transmission complexities of other similarly sized sets which for me is just redundant, this one is single speed but retains the hi and low gear settings and as with the real thing it also has 3 functioning differentials which makes the G-wagon one of the most capable vehicles. You can lock the center and rear diffs which if put on drive or reverse gears engages the model I-6 engine which for a set of this size you’re gonna want that thing functioning. This is my 3rd Mercedes-Benz branded Technic set the first 2 being the Unimog U400 set 8110 and second the Arocs 3245 set 42043. Design-wise it’s very squared with very few angles and catches the real thing’s iconic design my only complaint however are the tires, it’s big but looks so much better with the Unimog’s tires and I was able to adapt the spare tire by doing a few design adjustment for the spare tire guard. I’m overall very impressed with the set I give it a 100/100 score.
