Mani Kulasooriya just wanted to build a capable off-road truck that wasn’t too flamboyant. He failed miserably. His one-of-a-kind 2006 Mercedes-Benz G500 pickup truck can’t turn a wheel without drawing a crowd, whether it’s off road in a forest full of redwoods or picking up...

We’re far off charted roads, somewhere in France’s L’Occitanie region, on some family estate where wine and off-roading are baronial hobbies, when I first take a peek in the rearview mirror. As I crash a 2019 Mercedes-AMG G63 through trashcan-sized holes and muddy slip-n-slides...
