Hi Stone.... I think you were one of the "originals" back with the rest of us on the GL, right?? No sweat on the winters..... I "special ordered" the ORP on the new one..... wouldn't be without it given where I take the vehicle. It really paid off a few times on my '07.

'13 ML350 Bluetec for work, E550 for pleasure, & ML350 for my wife
I've read a lot of mixed info about availability of the ORP for the USA market.
When I ordered my 2010 I was told straight up "NOT available".
This winter was plenty mild enough that I did not miss the ORP.
Hopefully the next 2 winters will be similar. I seriously considered going over to a Range Rover LR4 when I started looking in late '09, but the overall package of the GL far outweighed the RR.
What color combo is your new one?

'13 ML350 Bluetec for work, E550 for pleasure, & ML350 for my wife
Off Road Package.
Readily available on 07 Models.
Included locking differential front to back, then side to side.
Included Low Range.
Included 3 position ride height adjustment.
Included 3 suspension firmness options, normal, comfort, or sport.
My 07 was virtually un-stopable in the big east coast snows of 09. Far better than any heavy duty 4 x 4 truck I've owned in the past. (thanks to good tires as well)
