'03 G500, '13 G63, '17 GLS63,
At that price point, it made more sense for me to keep my E55 and order my wife an ML320CDI, as buying an ML63 would have required about the same sacrifice. I was excited at first, especially when magazines were quoting $70k base pricing. I can make sense of buying a CLS63 or E63 for around $90k. Not so an ML.

Land Rover made a huge point of saying that the RR Sport did not compromise the off-road ability that sets the company's vehicles apart from soft-roaders. Save for the 20" rims which would cause the tires to get pinched in between rocks, the RR Sport supercharged is about as capable off-road as any production 4x4.
For those who want an all in one vehicle, to drive to the office and go hunting, the off road performance is just as important as the on-road.

The towing capacity for the ML63 is 5000 lbs. The same as the other three ML's.

The off-roading driving program is not available for the ML63. It is featured on the other three ML models.

According to the brochure I just received from MBUSA, the towing capacity for all four 2007 ML models is 5000 lbs. (Class III).
