Just got my first GL. My wife and I are pretty excited coming from the GLK to this GIGANTIC suv. Any pointers? Thanks in advance.

Im currently at work right now and when i went to drop off my lunch box at my vehicle i noticed the front end was entirely on the ground. Is this normal? Does the airmatic bowdown when the vehicle is locked and not used lets say a couple of hours? Thanks in advance

Welcome to GL family. Of course it's not normal. My car sometimes parked for 2-4 days and stays on the same level. I hope you have a warranty and dealer can easily fix it.

Thank you for the quick reply, I just picked it up from my nearby MB Dealer. I still havent signed for the vehicle, they gave me a day to test it. Its a 2008 GL550 Fully Loaded with all the bells and whistles with 60,000 miles. Ive been reading the forum and it appears the rubber tends to dry out fairly quickly on the GL's airmatic suspension.
