Wind resistance...
Hello,
anyone felt like the car is a brick over 85 with gusty winds... didn't have this effect on the older model (I had x174 for few yrs) .. also I read two gl63 were taken into the dealership with this complaint... we all know how that would be went .. haha ...(could not replicate the fault)...

A lot of wind resistance esp when I have the antlers (ski rack) and also on bridges but it's a big heavy SUV so not a shocker.
