My only critique is it was very hard to park in a tight parking spot. The truck felt extremely nimble for an SUV, but then at very low speeds, like sub 5 mph the truck felt... sort of cumbersome. I may have just been nervous parking someone elses $100k truck.
No such thing as a meaningless post when a G is involved

I don't think they're cumbersome (I've gotten them into some pretty tight spots while parallel parking) I think what your reffering to is the fact that the steering is pretty darn heavy on the MBUSA models. That could make the truck feel tough to park at low speeds but after spending a little time with it you really don't notice it and you'll park perfectly every time.
