Was the GLK in that video a US model or a ROW (Rest Of World) model?

As an example, the ML's and GL's are available in the ROW with an off road package that includes a 2-speed transfer case and locking differential. That package increases the off-road ability of the ML and GL considerably; but that package is not available in the US.

If you visit the ML/GL assembly plant in Vance and get a ride on the off-road test track, only ROW ML's and GL's are used.

The GLK in your video might be a similar ROW model.
