Yesterday I traded the all track in on a 015 Mercedes ml 250 d. So far I like it. It seems to be getting better fuel economy than the vw. ... slightly. Wish it was a stick. Ride and handling is better in most instances than the vw and it is rated to tow 6600#.

It is amazing how well the little four cylinder 2.1 liter moves it along. It does have two turbos though, one for taking off and the other for higher rpm work.

With 97,000 miles it looks new except for curb damage on all four wheels and some wear on the drivers seat. It has 20" wheels with Pirelli tires, which I'd love to back off to the original size 18" and some old fashioned LT tires.

Its Black with light grey interior. Not first choice of color but it looks great when clean.
