30,000 and just did my first brake job. Love the truck. Got the optional wheel locks when I bought it new. Could not get the lugbolt key to hook up on the last bolt. Put a light to it and it was not there!WTF!!! Hole was a bit rusted too, prob never put on at all. All the other tires were done right.

ML320
2000 ML320 with 75800 miles

Small rust spots at the same spot on both front fenders...between wheel well and headlamp, at the bottom edge (parallel to ground). I've seen this on other older MLs.

Also rust at rear hatch handle, above license plate.

Runs as good as the day I got it. It's hard to see but it is @ 103,000 in this picture and just cruising.

Wow, pretty harsh words from all when looking at some of the previous posts. One question, do any of you have a life, have any of you actually seen a vagina or do your star wars helmets odscure the view? Sorry, 2 questions. I have an AMG and took the badges off as well as blacking out all other emblems, looks like a Chrysler Town and Country according to some of the young engineers that work for me. My Porsches on the other hand are my pride and joy, the 55 is a great Truck, nothing more, nothing less except for the very poor build quality and relentless problems. This was my first Benz after numerous BMW, Audi, Porsche, etc. None of them make a 350 HP truck that can be had for 20K$ on the used market. I like it a lot, it is not the most important thing in my life and certainly emblems correct or not make no difference as far as world peace etc... Enjoy what you have and please back off some of the folks that just want to have fun.

Steve

Just hit 60K the other day. Had my B service and a transmission service done a few weeks back. It's a good daily driver that has unfortunately seen some road rash.

So, did you apply for your first high mileage reward?

I think, 155K miles qualifies you for the 1st high mileage badge from MB...did you get one?

Just call your local dealer or MB directly at 1-800-for-mercedes

They should be able to guide you. You need to take your truck in to the dealer for mileage verification, and they should be able to get the process going..

The badge is nothing precious as such, but its a badge of honor on the truck...that it has lived so many miles...

I think, the awards are given at the

155K, 250K, 500K and 1million mile marks...somone had a very detailed outline of the program posted on this forum a while back..

Have you needed suspension work on it?

I know, this is very subjective, but I am just wondering what is the average lifespan of the factory suspension, before it starts to needing work on it?
