Check out some threads in the ML/G-Wagen/Unimog forum. The ML is a worthy contender in the off-road category, and proves itself time and time again in world off-road competitions...

...but don't get into the argument of which is better, the G or the ML...it's like the dino vs. synth threads everywhere else!

And although off-road to me is a gravel driveway, I need the hauling capacity...I'm not a pickup kind of guy, and I was never ready to concede to suburban fatherhood by showing up with a mini-van!

And the ML is our out-of-town cruiser...no it's not a sedan, but it is comfortable and I like the view up high, keeping a lookout for road-raged morons!
