1984 Mercedes-Benz G-Class

Long before the G-Class became a symbol of luxury, it was a rugged, practical off-road vehicle with a distinctly military character. Its angular body, straightforward construction and unmistakable silhouette made the original G-Wagen one of the most recognizable European SUVs.

The 1984 Mercedes-Benz G-Class brings this classic German off-roader to Project Zomboid with four chassis configurations, more than 30 exterior liveries and an extensive selection of customization equipment.

Early G-Class models were hardly known for impressive acceleration. They were boxy, relatively underpowered and uncommon on American roads, where importing one was not always straightforward.

That makes discovering one in Kentucky particularly interesting. It may not be the fastest vehicle in your garage, but its distinctive design and upgrade possibilities give it plenty of personality.

Four G-Class Variants

The collection includes four versions of the first-generation Mercedes-Benz G-Class:

• Short-Wheelbase 2-Door - A compact version with the classic two-door body and shorter wheelbase.
• Long-Wheelbase 2-Door - An extended two-door configuration with a different body layout.
• Long-Wheelbase 4-Door - A four-door model offering a more conventional SUV configuration.
• Military G-Class - A specialized military variant with additional components and equipment.

The different chassis types allow players to choose between compact proportions, extended bodywork and military styling.

With over 30 texture variations, there's also plenty of visual variety when searching for the right vehicle.

Armor and Exterior Customization

The G-Class can be equipped with a complete craftable armor set, transforming a classic off-roader into a more protected vehicle for exploring Knox County.

Available upgrades and accessories include:

• Multiple bumper and bullbar configurations
• Craftable protective armor
• Armor plates for windows
• Additional bumper protection
• Roof racks for exterior equipment
• Body kits and removable exterior panels
• Snorkels and protective headlight guards
• Detachable spare tires and mudflaps
• Extra equipment for the military variant

Many components can be discovered while exploring the world, allowing you to restore and customize your vehicle gradually.

Whether you prefer the clean appearance of a classic G-Wagen or a heavily equipped expedition vehicle, the collection provides plenty of options.

Three Tire Sets

The mod includes three tire configurations:

• Normal Tires - The standard tire option.
• Modern Tires - An alternative tire configuration.
• Reinforced Tires - An additional option for a more rugged setup.

A particularly useful feature is that the tires can remain functional even after being damaged.

However, damaged tires suffer from reduced friction, so continuing to drive comes with a loss of traction. This can help you escape a dangerous situation, but it doesn't eliminate the need for repairs.

Detailed Animations and Removable Parts

All four variants feature fully animated hoods, trunks, doors and windows.

The interior and character remain visible, while improved entering, exiting and aiming animations make interactions more natural.

Additional features include:

• Removable 3D vehicle parts that can be placed in the world
• Detachable spare tires, mudflaps and body kit components
• Discoverable customization accessories
• Support for towing other vehicles
• Ability to be towed when necessary

Compatibility

• Build 41.78.16 - Single Player and Multiplayer supported
• Build 42.13+ - Single Player and Multiplayer supported
• Can be added to an existing save through the load menu
• Vehicle recoloring is not supported

The Mercedes-Benz G-Class is an excellent choice for players who appreciate classic European off-road vehicles, military equipment and detailed vehicle customization.

Find a rare imported G-Wagen, restore its damaged components, install protective armor and prepare it for your next journey across Kentucky.

It might lack the speed of a sports car, but with four distinctive versions and an extensive collection of accessories, this German classic offers a different kind of adventure in Project Zomboid.
