    I'd like to see the MB Truck forum with all the problems that thing is going to have, and the cost to repair them. When I hear the phrase "German Engineering" I laugh out loud.

    When they slap on the MB logo, shit will start breaking, and the parts cost will quadruple. But hey, they give away free Starbucks in the service department and give free loaner cars.

    bunch of stuff - Bro Pro style
    Wow.... I have a few UN-answered questions:

    Whats the largest tire I can fit with the stock suspension?
    Can I get a PRO grille with that??
    What 22" rims should I get?
    Level kit or lifted? I'd prefer the level kit
    and last but not least - What do you guys think of this compared to the Honda Ridgeline??

    In before the lock ban hammer down! :anonymous::locked:

    1) About that size maybe one bigger.

    2) That is a Pro all the way.

    3) Don't

    4) Level will probably be all you can get.

    5) Doesn't compare, not a unibody.

    the cabin looks like a tacoma shape from the side. They need a long bed version.

    Their service centers are quite nice. Never had any major issues with my last AMG. Just stay away from the ones with ABC or the v12s and you're good.

    :eek:


    Mercedes-Benz claims it will have a maximum payload capacity in excess of 2,400 pounds and be able to tow over 7,700 pounds

    Rear and all-wheel-drive models will be available, the 4x4s equipped with a low range transfer case and locking differentials for true off-roading capabilities.
