One word: BRAKES. My e350 front brakes just suck. I'm on my 4th set of front brake rotor/ calipers. 3 Rd set of front brake lines. Learned to just replace lines when doing a brake job. 115k miles. Rears still have 50% (drum) shoes left. Twice I've had front right caliper lock after a hard brake. Just takes 2 blocks to start smoking! Pull off an let cool down, then limp to nearest repair. Bigger is better in most regards.
Starting with 2008 models, the E350 got the E450 front brakes.
Sticking calipers has little to do with brake size, and everything to do with long-term parking outside.
