The 16″ five-spoke alloy wheels are mounted with 265/75 Nokian Tyres Outpost nAT winter tires, although very rarely run in snow or rain to avoid salt contamination, with a spare tire carrier mounted on the swing-out rear cargo door, sporting a matching Nokian tire.

The interior is finished in supple, factory black leather which has been properly maintained and preserved, offering premier finishes throughout including rich walnut veneer inserts, soft contoured door panel accents, three position power adjustable front seats, and a wood and leather wrapped steering wheel. The spacious cabin retains a fresh and clean appearance featuring climate controls, cold AC, power sunroof, and ample cargo space behind the rear seats. The sculpted dashboard, excellent instrumentation, and appointed center console are exceptional in condition and detail. The seats are comfortable for long trips and supportive for larger drivers, enhanced by power adjustments which can accommodate long legs with ease. Easily accessible switches, climate, and audio controls are readily at hand to serve creature comforts even when driving over rough terrain. An integrated back up camera, CD player, Bluetooth equipped with navigation system is installed in the center dash section. The interior delivers a purposeful and accessible layout offering luxurious amenities enhanced by burled walnut accents. All interior features function properly.

The 5.0-liter M113 V8 was factory rated at 292 horsepower and 336 lb-ft of torque. Power is sent to all four wheels through a five-speed automatic transmission, a dual-range transfer case, and locking front, center, and rear differentials.

This G500 was sold to the first owner in Fremont, CA, January 11, 2004. Regular services, California emissions testing, and original owner care continued through 2012 when the truck was offered for sale through an Idaho dealership, then showing 13,600 miles. The second owner of Kirkland, WA purchased the truck for personal use and continued regular services with Mercedes-Benz Bellevue, Park Place Motors, Kirkland, WA, and Eastside European, WA. In late 2018, minor front-end damage occurred to the front bumper and grille at a stop sign incident. The cosmetic damage was expertly repaired by Eurotech Bodywerkes of Kirkland, WA and the silver metallic finish matched using a digital color paint-match system for factory color and metallic match accuracy. This is confirmed by the paint readings below.

This G500 has also been religiously treated with WoolWax under its current ownership, resulting in the virtually rust free condition. Professionally applied to the complete undercarriage, frame rails and door and body cavities, while the current owner also personally applied it behind every screw hole in the body (side molding strips, side marker lights, turn signals, rear lights), along all welded seams, all hinges and behind all weather stripping (around all windows, sunroof, headlights, etc.). This process was followed again before the second winter as well. The truck remains completely rust free other than a small amount on the rear cargo door hinge. This was present when the truck traded hands in 2022, and has been periodically treated with WoolWax and WD-40. Since then, the rust staining has not worsened. 

A beautifully upgraded vehicle with Professional (PUR) features, this Mercedes-Benz G500 is sure to capture the imagination of outdoor enthusiasts who enjoy rugged looks and a capable powertrain that invites you to enjoy miles of highway and venture across backroads around the world.
