Still no issues, adjustments, concerns, etc. Only complaint: the chrome (plastic ) grill bars look great BUTTTTT.... are indeed plastic and simple hit from a leftover winter road cinder will put a visible knick in the plastic!! ( i got one obviously ) Real chrome would not show a thing...... and, yes, I know thats the way of all cars today but I think they did go too far to the one direction when they made the front "underbody skid protection" out of plastic chrome! ( comes with the off road package )

Wow, you are really Putting the GL thru its test. Keep it up and appreciate all the feedback.

This is my 3rd GL since 07 intro..... I buy it because it is absolutely the best combination of capability and comfort for the 20K miles I do a year. ...and this one is the best of the bunch!! Airmatic adjustments ( at stops and different load situations ) are much more subtle and quieter than previous models. I do one 900 mile round trip per month..... mileage average is consistent at 20! The Distronic Plus is so good that if you are not careful, you can forget that you have it on!!!

That's good to hear. Hoping to get 1 as the family hauler. Have 3 carseats installed in the back of the S, fits but would prefer a 3rd row.

I'm at about 2.5k miles, so far it's been good, but two annoying rattles from the dash developed in the last week. In for service tomorrow....

Driver or passenger side?

Pass side.

Check for maracas in the glove box. MB might have put them there as a welcoming present. ;-)

hahahaha! well, thats why I asked.....anything in the glovebox will rattle AND anything in the door pockets will rattle. I had one like that in my 2011 and it was indeed in the glove box!
