Cool Mercedes 300 GD Diesel Off Roader

The Mercedes 300 GD is part of the iconic G Class lineup that began in 1979, known for its rugged diesel capability and dependable Mercedes Benz engineering. This three door SUV features a 3.0 litre inline five diesel engine producing 65 kW and 172 Nm of torque, paired with a four speed manual gearbox and full time four wheel drive with locking differentials for outstanding off road performance.

Strong Performance and Dimensions

With a top speed of 130 kmh, the 300 GD delivers steady and reliable performance both on and off road. Its robust build measures 394.5 cm in length, 170 cm in width, and 197.5 cm in height, with a kerb weight of approximately 1,885 kg. Equipped with 215 R16 tyres and a 75 litre fuel tank, it is designed for endurance and practicality, supported by front disc and rear drum brakes.

Tuning Potential with Custom Exhaust Upgrades

Following discussions around the vehicle’s condition, it was identified that the existing Mercedes 300 GD Exhaust system will require replacement in the near future. With the vehicle undergoing an MOT inspection, the exhaust layout is being assessed to ensure any wear or corrosion is properly addressed. This allows for a tailored plan to upgrade the Mercedes Benz Exhaust Systems fitted to the vehicle.

Upgrading the G Wagen with a Custom Stainless Steel Exhaust System

Once the MOT inspection is complete, a fully custom stainless steel Mercedes 300 GD Exhaust System will be developed based on the current setup. This upgrade will resolve ageing components, improve exhaust flow, and restore long term reliability. The result is a stronger, more durable system that enhances the vehicle’s diesel tone while maintaining its classic off road character and dependable performance.
