Depends on the allocations your dealer has in-stream.
My ordered GL took about 9 weeks because they had a truck allocation they could give to me.

7 weeks. key is to ask dealer to use existing allocation in process and change to your order spec. Otherwise, the wait is much longer. The car was built within 4 weeks but it took another 3 for staging, train, prep, etc.

Also, they build vehicles in batches (all GL350s this week, all GL450s next week, etc) and they JIT a lot of the components. For example, I wanted running boards but they didn't have component allocation for my build week so I would have had to wait another month if I insisted on them.

I put my order on December 2nd week and got mine last week. Going to take delivery on friday. I think it depends on the dealer, and if they have few on order, they can customize it to your needs. Mine is low volume dealer in North Dakota, so it took this long.
