This is speaking from experience. My first camping rig was a W163 ML320. I loved the Mercedes 4WD tech, but much like Underscore, these electronic systems have their issues.




Served me well for 3 years til it got written off. But boy, even maintenance, always costed me triple than a Japanese or American truck... and I do things myself. I drove this thing every day while I was a full time student on a part-time salary. I didn't have to do many repairs, but when I did, that shit hurted.
Where's the T rex?
