Where are you located? In the US, the GL550 wasn't available with Distronic as the GL550 has a different front end design with a bigger grille and MB never developed a larger Distronic grille. And as far as I know, Canadian GL550s had the same designed front end.

Are you sure it has Distronic?

Almost 99% sure it doesnt have it- unless it was retrofitted later on (highly doubtful).

Again, where are you located? I know the US didn't get the off road package as an available option- might be the same in other markets as well. I'm assuming Canada because I don't think they sold the GL550 in any other country aside from the US and Canada- in Europe and many other markets, the GL550 is called GL500.

No. GL in Europe uses the same 5.5 V8, it's just branded as 500. This is the same case for ALL 500 cars in Europe.

S500 Europe = S550 USA.
