I found that annoying Towing maybe. When not towing, not at all. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had one for a couple days when my truck was in for recalls, I felt it did it not towing, I had my truck back before I had to put the trailer on, so I don't know about towing.

I just hate the front door windows on Ford trucks, that stupid dip down just ruins the lines of the truck, looks hideous Yes they are thirsty with any load 27 minutes ago, ACE said: 6.2 10 speed is better Maybe ....but the ecoboost is right there I’m sure. It’s certainly not a bad option although the 6.2 is impressive all around. I’d own one , I’ve just never towed with one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SayatodaU.P.eh? Posted September 9, 2022 Share Posted September 9, 2022 I forgot how many professional automotive internet know it alls there are around here. The Escalade V is rowdy and a ball to drive. But I’d never own one and I’m bummed that engine didn’t make it into a ZR2 Silverado or AT4X Sierra. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My dad has one that’s just about to turn 200k miles and it’s been an awesome truck and routinely gets excellent mileage. Very strange 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not saying the ML63 doesnt tow good but dont really get why you think the Caddy is so bad . Unpowered? With a Whipple? or you talking when it was stock? Brakes and steering I can understand being worse. Edited September 9, 2022 by EvilBird 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also the fact I didn't buy it to tow, I bought it for fun. Conversely. it will tow everything I own, the biggest being a 7k trailer with The General on it. But again, I own a truck for that. Now I ask you, can the 'Burban pull a +.95g? Can it go 174? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I put over 250,000 miles on an ML500 and then a ML550. Awesome vehicles, sleeper hotrods. I towed a 7x14 enclosed with two sleds like it wasnt even there. I really wanted a 63, but it just wasnt in the cards. Just picked this GLE 350 up for the wife last week. The new tech shit is amazing, forward facing nav camera on a big screen, self park, voice control of most anything. Unfortunately its got a little 4 banger so I doubt I’ll be doing much towing with it. Goes alot better than I thought it would. Big believer in MB products, overbuilt and reliable.
