Thank u 4 doing these demo type videos. We just bought the GL 450 & no matter how many times I go 2 the dealership or how many salesmen I talk to it's impossible 2 learn ALL the features that this vehicle has 2 offer. I am watching video's on it 2 help me learn all of it's features. SOOOO much to learn :-\ and the manual is NOT user friendly :-\
GREAT JOB! The seating is not leather however the material they use dosent crack split and last a very long time I saw a vehicle that had 100K miles on it and the seating still looked awesome...
Yea, depending on what year you got it you may not have the chrome fins on the hood. Ours was an option that didn't come standard (We had to pay for it) It was part of the Appearance package, which also came with the chrome door handle inserts, chrome exhaust tips, illuminated running boards, and the chrome roof rails. The 2013 model comes with all that stuff i just mentioned standard. The new "Appearance Package" for the 2013 model is just illuminated running boards, and chrome exhaust tips.
2007 GL450. Now 164k.Everyting works, Loads of room in the 3 rows of seats. Replaced front air shocks, repainted left rear fender (clearcoat was coming off) and the occasional light bulb.. Looks great, pleasure to drive, especially in bad weather conditions.. I use liqui-moly in the engine coolant and oil (just me). Highly recommend Michelin tires. Cons. Needs premium, and gets 14-18 mpg. :(
Thank you so much! You gave me all the info I needed. I have 4 teenagers. I already own an Escalade....trying to decide between this one or another Escalade. Love the last row seats!
I hope you got another Escalade! I wouldn't trade my Escalade for anything. I ended up with the GL450 by chance trying to run away from a failing s400 hybrid with a flopping record at 66k miles. Escalade is a great choice tho.
you mentioned about the up hill control... It is really an off road thing.. I really don't know what it is called but if you notice using it your transmission changes. Although it is a GREAT REVIEW!
Escalade is a much larger SUV. It gets a little less mpg then the gl. I would compare the escalade to the GL550 for a closer head to head comparison. Both are very capable vehicles, but my opinion swings toward the Gl because it offers far more technology, safety, build quality, and luxury for the buck.
Gunny. The chrome fins on top of the "heat vent" are not real. The left hand side hood vent is fake and does nothing. The right hand side is the one that functions. I know because we have a 2012 GL550
You are what?? 14??? LOL good video nontheless. Bad thing about MB SUV telematics is that they're about 2 generations behind. Second, it has a small interior for the price (same size inside as the last gen full frame Ford Explorer and the same towing capability) Mb reliability isnt the best;it is no where NEAR best in class for towing, cargo, interior space or amenities for the price. Ford, Lincoln, GM, Chevy, GM, Caddy, Dodge and Audi all have more capable Suv's.Your parents bought a nameplate
Hey Brandon I also do videos too. I have two Mercedes Benz actually one is mine and grandmothers. Mine: 2007 Mercedes Benz E63 AMG with Performance package. Grands:2003 Mercedes E320.

I'm going to be getting one. I found out that the suspension is terrible. Glad the dealership already replaced it

Excellent Job Brandon. Just bought one of those. Same colors in and out
DISTRONIC Plus is the Mercedes adaptive cruise control, not their music player
Beautiful car mate! my father has the '10 350 cdi in obsidian black which is absolutely gorgeous!
My dad has this truck and the televisions and the features are amazing and designed very well!
**SUV....not truck
My mad but thanks anyways :)
at 8:27... distronic plus is for cruise control what you mean is media interface plus
IM STILL NOT SURE WHICH ONE IS BETTER
A CADILLAC ESCALADE OR 450 4MATIC BENZ
BEAUTIFUL CAR
I'm a owner of this car and it's really cool 😎 💪
7,500 pound towing capacity 👍 which is more than most GM and Ford SUV's.
Thanks for pointing that out, I just realized. And, stay tuned for my review of the C 300 Mercedes Benz.

+Manny Lam it helps get up steep slopes, the downhill one keeps it at set speed so all you have to do is steer. its amazing off road
Awesome vid for your first car review. Keep up the good work!

Are you going to take the Escalade off-road as you can with the GL? What is the payload of the Escalade?
I agree with you I think I’m going with the GL
Very nice!!!! What the price for that?
AWESOME AND THOROUGH!!! THANKS
Very nice! What's the going price for this one?
Chrome on the hood was an option. You might not have bought the chrome fins.
Hey how is the vehicle after all these years. And how large is gas tank
Have the same 2012 AMG KIT tho and a different grill.

Fake? By what do you mean fake? It's for a sporty look and design. And the black grid under the fins is used for ventilation.
Interesting.
Is that yours?
*not the chrome fins, the vents themselves.
Really nice car
What fuel does it use ?
gas, gasoline, or diesel ?
As tested, was about $79,975.
THAT WAS GREAT! Thank you!
Nice!!
Good review.

How do you turn on the entertainment system?
Great Job.
