We looked at it and honestly it is too small- not wide enough for 3 people to sit comfortably in a row, needs another couple of feet in length so there is ample room behind the second row. It did not seem much bigger inside than our ML500.
We need something this big because we often have company and when we go out there is usually 6 or more people and we have to take two vehicles. Also I need something that can tow a large trailer for the race car (the ML is limited to 5000 lbs) and I often need to move car parts.
I am now considering the International RXT (the CXT won't fit in the garage)

OMG, that truck is huge drronh!

Looks as if MB haven't filled every segment, that need a bigger truck!

I'm not very impressed the GL isn't that much bigger than the ML, makes it a bit pointless!

...how tasteful and modest of you drronh


...I'm sorry, I don't understand this vehicle.

Wait, are you being serious or is that a joke? That is a monster of a truck. As for the GL, I'm just not impressed at all. It just looks so generic, making the ML look so much better. Sure there's a market for it (those that want to carry people but will not be seen dead in a minivan). However, like most SUV's, the third row seat are generally too small for adults to sit comfortably. The only SUV that can do that is the Chevy Suburban... although not in good built quality.

I still can't understand why this car is coming to the UK, it would be in a class of it's own over here, and at the moment people have bad feelings towards SUVs because of environmental reasons. For us the ML is thought of as a large SUV, wonder what people will make of the GL!

I mostly want to pi$$ off my neighbors who park their Ford F150s in their driveway because their garages are full of junk, despite the fact that they have 3 car garages and live in a gated community of multimillion dollar homes. The deed restrictions state you can park your vehicle in the driveway or in the road as long as it is not a commercial vehicle used in business.
Plus I want to be able to tow a 48 foot stacker trailer with 2-3 race cars, a golf cart, gear and parts to the race track without breaking a sweat.
Jay Leno has a CXT- its even bigger than the RXT

If you are going to buy a truck, you might as buy a proper truck!
