I think he has a Mercedes ML350 TDI. Gotta' say, I knew he was putting both feet in it with the truck-hatin'. BTW, #1 vehicle in sales this year, again---Ford F150.
My brother's Mercedes M series SUV is such a POS. He's on his 2nd engine after nearly suing them to fix it. Biggest piece of garbage he's ever owned. It's been in for a bunch of other problems as well.
He's also a GM fan boy, so he has his '86 Grand National and Suburban. He tows his Fleetwood TT with his Suburban, wouldn't even tow his 10' X 8' sport equipment utility trailer with Benz, doesn't trust it.
So I can see why you would want a lightweight small TT for a Mercedes, especially if this one is a unibody.
When a Suburban is considered the reliable vehicle, you know the other cars are pretty bad off. :D :D
F150 all the way!
Funny, my friend just traded in his 2003 ML with 280k miles on it...still going strong. I did look at the Expedition (SUV version of the F-150), and saw through its "truck" pedigree right away. Floaty suspension, grunting engine, loose handling? Not to mention Ford's superb repair and safety record? Yeah...I knew who I was trusting *my* families safety to! And give over on the whole "unibody vs frame" thing..modern unibodys are structurally stronger, especially when they use high tensile steel and magnesium alloys. Ask any mechanical engineer which is better in a crash.
