I was just browsing through my options on my car too see what I really have in my car and read that the all wheel drive has been eliminated? When I bought my ML Pre-Owned, I was told that it was an all wheel drive SUV. Thats one of the main reasons I bought an SUV for the first time, is this true or am I miss understanding what this says below?

Well first, it would help if you told us what make year and model Benz you own. Since you post this on the ML board... I am guessing you are reffering to a ML. the ML comes with full time four wheel drive, and Low Range. From 1998 - 2005. I am 90% sure full time 4 wheel drive is standard in the 2006+ models but Low Range might now be an option. I would do the leg work but you can go to www.mbusa.com and check the options.

sosh

All ML's no matter what year have 4 wheel drive. Low range is standard in all 1998 thru 2005 ML's (W163's). In 2006 with the W164 low range is an option I believe with the off road package which I am not certain is not yet available in the US. However, I had 2 W163's and now a W164 and on the W163's over an 8 year period I never used low range other than to play with it once or twice so I do not miss it at all. But the W164 has an off road mode in the transmission that changes the shift points and it also has a hill decent mode.
