Got my 09' GL450!

She's a beauty!

Pewter/tan with P1, hitch, running boards, and entertain package.

Awesome car so far. Love the new COMMAND. Best integration of nav, siruis, ipod, phone, and radio I have seen to date.

Will post a few pic's later.

Mike

Keen to see some photos of your new GL - I'm particularly curious about the Nav/Sirius/Radio system upgrades.

Congrats on yours! Good choice!

I got mine a week ago.. P1,P2, Appearance pack and entertainment. Gotta agree it is good! I like it more and more all the time. The Command is awesome with all its features!

One thing with the truck that a lot of people agree on is that it truly drives like a car. It does not feel thet you are driving a truck as big as it is! Anything else you have noticed in your first week(s)?

Oh forgot to ask, did yours come with the trailer hitch? Mine did but I didnt get the hook... Should I contact the dealer, shouldn´t the hook come with the truck or do I have to buy it separately?

Both you 09 owners need to post some pics of the inside and outside of your new rides.

You buy it separately.

Any good trailer, RV, or camper dealer can get you the right one and they'll fit it to the right height of whatever you tow.

Based on what we've been seeing here, I'd say you could do A LOT better. If you don't mind purchasing out-of-state and driving up to Denver to pick it up, I, along with Nevada Jack, recommend Greg Weiler at Mercedes Benz of Westminster, 888-408-3594. Before you pull the trigger, you owe it to yourself to give him a call, because he's upfront and won't waste your time if he can't help.

I'm sure others here can give you some dealer reps in the Dallas area as well to check out.

Best Wishes.

ok, there is problem with leasing a GL. because MB will allow to lease cars from other states, but some dealers will not give the same deals to people from out of state. I called MB of Naples. they have good deals, but they don't want to lease to me. but i will call him up tomorrow, but this is on a GL450 2009
