Jet,

Not my intent to be personal, but the safety record of the Ford Exploder is a fact not personal attack. I thought I was giving you information you might want to consider.
If you don't, I don't care but I'm not going to discuss the Ford on a Mercedes forum.

Let me just reiterate for others reading this thread, that the safety of the ML is under appreciated and a great reason to choose this vehicle as your cross-over choice.

JMHO, Ed

"One should as a rule respect public opinion in so far as is necessary to
avoid starvation and to keep out of prison, but anything that goes beyond
this is voluntary submission to an unnecessary tyranny, and is likely to
interfere with happiness in all kinds of ways."
