I don't believe the current generation ML's are even offered with the 3rd row seat.

My neighbor, who is a technician at the local Mercedes dealer (Penske Mercedes), tells me to stay away from the 1st generation ML, even the last year.

I'd go with the R class personally. Or ask John Doe. His wife drives one.
