2013 ML350 Basic Clunk/Thump from interior upon accelaration

Hello there. I am going bananas trying to figure where is the thump coming from. It only happens upon acceleration, and I can hear it coming from the cargo tailgate area. I have taken the spare tire and tools out to no avial. Also replace the suspension end links F&B as well as made sure the small rear battery was nice and tight.

Any help much appreciated.

CHERS!!

CHERS!!
get someone to sit back there listening and go find a big empty parking lot. Is everything else in the suspension tight like the rear shocks and subframe?
