Built with a robust ladder frame chassis and a powerful 2.8-liter inline-six engine, the 280GE was capable of conquering demanding off-road challenges while offering a surprising level of comfort and refinement on paved roads. With its boxy, angular design, high ground clearance, and impressive approach and departure angles, the 460 280GE became a popular choice among military and government agencies worldwide, as well as discerning individuals seeking a highly capable all-terrain vehicle. It cemented the G-Class's reputation for unparalleled durability and its ability to traverse even the roughest terrain. The 280GE's interior, while simple by today's standards, exuded a sense of purposeful functionality and timeless design. Featuring durable, hard-wearing materials throughout, it offered a practical and comfortable space for both driver and passengers. The high seating position provided exceptional visibility, complementing the vehicle's off-road prowess. The 280GE was available in both three-door and five-door body styles, catering to different needs and preferences. While known for its off-road capabilities, the 280GE also offered a surprising level of on-road comfort, thanks to its independent front suspension and a comfortable ride even on rough surfaces. The 280GE's enduring legacy lies in its timeless design, ruggedness, and versatility, making it a highly sought-after collector's item and a true testament to the enduring appeal of the Mercedes-Benz G-Class.
