The 1st gen ML was not the first import luxury SUV... it was actually built in the US. For luxury SUVs/crossovers the Range Rover definitely had it beat by a few decades... though I digress
The first Generation almost bankrupt the Company. Maybe that’s why it was monumental..lol. For the record Nissan Murano and Lexus came out first with untraditional boxy design.
Here in the UK the Lexus RX seem to rust quite badly underneath. The Merc ml petrols engines have issues, the diesels are pretty solid but like all modern turbo diesels they have glow plugs, swirl flaps, high pressure fuel pumps, injectors, DPF, egr and ofcourse turbos to maintain.
I am semi retired and run a lawn mowing business so I tow a 3500lbs trailer around my neighborhood route. I’m ditching my old 1500 plow truck/tow vehicle and want an SUV for the daily driving I do in the winter. Do you think the Mercedes ML’s are as “tough” as say the USA GMC envoy, or jeep grand cherokee? I don’t care about the country club appearances, I’m a workman who just wants a decent older SUV (2006 to2010)to go 8 years for me, it’s going to get dirty!!
question, 2007 ml350 with 100,000 miles, would the balance issue have broken by this time? Looking at buying one, not sure if that issue happened yet with it. ASAP please :)
i bought a 2008 with 200k miles!! i have no engine problems and currently at 275k. bought in june 2021 so i put a lot of miles in. better than i expected for a 2008 with 200k miles on it.

Not correct. Beginning in 2009, the w164 chassis was offered in 2wd (rear-drive). None were ever offered in 4x4. They were either 2WD (beginning in 2009), 4Matic (AWD), and 4Matic w/optional center locking differential (very difficult to find).

A guy turned left at high speed into my wife's ML500. His car got the worst of it but the ML was totaled but gave it's life protecting my family.
this review was very premium
Best looking suv and I’m glad I have one
Bought mine yesterday!
@@Tintdaddy88 What do you think so far? What year/mileage? Any issues so far?
Does it has any issue?
@@akujude the V6 engine is used widely in that generation of Mercedes. Plenty of affordable parts and usually well taken of by previous owners.
@@akujude absolutely zero since 2018
Very informative video. Exactly what I was looking for. Buying one tomorrow. Thanks
Ken, what did you buy? Year? Mileage? Any problems? How do you like it? I'm going to look at a 2011 M350 tomorrow
@@alouise3557 2006 Best Buy I’ve ever made. These cars are incredible. Good luck.

Sorry mate...how is it Going after one year .. i AM thinking in purchasing one of 2007...

Looking for an older SUV that can tow a 3500 lbs landscape trailer, does the ML match up with like a 2008 GMC envoy, or a 2009 gran cherokee?
He really loves his car
Does anyone know what models come with the air suspension or do they all come with it?
depends on the options of the car
Wow had no idea that the dodge durango shared similar platform
I Salute Your Review

Please, ML350 2008 and Lexus RX 350 2008 which one is more reliable?
What's the best choice on buying one of them?
Lexus will definitely be the more reliable option but may not have the same premium feel you'll get with the Mercedes
@@DrivenCompanion Lexus but it is is primitive, even has a cassette player!

I like your question i was contemplating too but I later went for Mercedes ml350 2007
Lexus has imitation leather the seats tear
家里有一辆 特别烧油 平均油耗18.9L/100km 其它都还好 开着很舒服
unibody or full frame body on chassis ?
Bend Oregon?
is this just as reliable as the rx350 in the same year model ?
Are these liftable? I can’t find any with. 2-3 inch lift.

@@faceinthecrowd5810 I wouldnt use any of those for towing on a regular basis, you want something with a full frame, like a 4 runner

i wouldn’t worry about it. regardless of the issues ppl say these have, i see A LOT of them on the road still to this day
Avoid
And a 2006 with 130k please

How much for this mercedes-benz ML 350 , 2010?
I bought one for $7000
Love those rims ... are they factory?
These are aftermarket but I agree they have a nice look that appears stock
May I ask what brand they are ? I would like to buy them
I don't know the brand and this vehicle has since sold. Sorry I can't help more here.
by any chance do you remember what was the size of the rims?
Yes great car until you find out about the balance shaft issue in the 350 - thousands of dollars later...
That issue was resolved by 09
People still drive them around
@@akujude Yes, I still have mine. I paid $8K to have the engine repaired (and rebuilt) Its still a great car.
@@ratcat7668 lmao!! imagine paying 8k for a car that u can buy for 8@
@@wavegod9387 I paid $16K for mine - 8 years ago. Cars lose value over time.
Pls i need the price of the ml350 4matic
But is it premium enough?
All ML came as 4x4 drive or 4matic none of them arent with front or back wheel drive
No

Quiero comprar esa camioneta Mercedes Benz ml350
You like the word "premium" an awful lot.
I noticed that too!
The cruise control is awful!
What do you mean? Why?? What year and mileage do you have?
“Sporty”
I have a newer one of this 2011
I'm going to look at a 2011 tomorrow with 100K miles on it. What do you think of yours? Have you put any repairs into it?
