Edex2020: You see... Folks aren't even talking or answering you... How the hell did you get to that level... Installing a nissan in. Benz... I don't get it Best bet .. get a benz V6 engine in that ride... From 320 capacity engine ... Anything apart from this ... We are out. What makes a benz isn't the body but the engine... I suggest 350 engine though it's pricey , arius 350k - 400k or get a 320 engine around 200k Holy fücking moses.... How did you end up with that seff? 1 Like |

I am currently comparing the Gl 450 2008 Honda pilot 2009 and the Toyota highlander 2008, I really don't know which to go for, I am more inclined towards the pilot as I used the 06 model before but I would like to give the Benz a try, Is there anything I should be afraid of as regards the Benz? |
Re: Mercedes Benz Thread by IkpuMmadu: 2:24am On Dec 17, 2020 |
dwilliams: It depends on what you want ... To me highlander shouldn't be compared to GL GL is a V8 machine engine full 4matic Highlander is V6 either FWD or AWD The 2008 Mercedes-Benz GL-Class has three available engines. The base GL450 is powered by a 4.6-liter, 335-horsepower V8. The GL320 CDI is powered by a 3.0-liter turbodiesel V6 engine that makes 215 horsepower. The GL550, new for 2008, gets a powerful 5.5-liter V8 that makes 382 horsepower and 391 pound-feet of torque. This luxury SUV provides an excellent driving experience, with nearly every review noting, as New Car Test Drive does, that "the Mercedes-Benz GL 450 is large and capable off road yet feels surprisingly car-like on the road." This is in large part thanks to its unibody construction, instead of the body-on-frame construction that is typically used in most large SUVs and trucks. Edmunds notes the GL "manages to present itself with a touch of class. Its mechanical sophistication, unit-body construction and superior craftsmanship also set it apart from other seven-passenger full-sizers" Toyota Highlander Engine & Performance. Four Wheel Drive or front wheel Engine Type: Gas V6.Displacement: 3.5L/- TBD -Horsepower 270 @ 6200.Torque (Net @ RPM): 249 @ 4700.Mostly 5 seaters I don't even want to talk about Honda and transmission issues ...it depends ...GL is more powerful engine and a true SUV , while I consider highlander as a crossover , it drives like car ....though GL is more expensive to maintain, it's a luxury car anyway and. It would give you what you want. Highland might be cheaper to maintain but in the long run I think GL is cheaper because benz parts last longer though a bit expensive....the only challange I have with the GL is the balloon...I don't know if 2008 do come with balloon |
Re: Mercedes Benz Thread by kingreign(m): 2:36am On Dec 17, 2020 |
dwilliams:A lot to be afraid of pls. You're coming from an 06 Pilot which probably had the dreaded transmission and the rear suspension squat issues, doesn't mean you should try the GL. The GL is an advanced technology and very complex. It competes with the 2008-2012 S class as a flagship model for Benz. The suspension is air suspension and when they fail, they'll hit your pocket hard. The intake manifold runner flaps also fails and these will cause misfires, loss of power, stalling etc. The front rear SAM module failure could cause the power operated boot, tail lamps etc not to operate. These will cost you some good amount of cash. The 7G tronic 722.9 transmission was in its early stages of integration during that era and was known to fail especially its Valve body or TCM. Then is the vacuum air leaks and oil leaks these vehicles are known for. Every wondered why they sell tokumbo around 7m and Nigerian used around 3m? Your best bet of the trio will actually be a highlander because that was a new designed vehicle, its the most economical of the trio, its also not as fugly as the pilot 2nd gen, and its faster. I'm saying this in a Mercedes Benz thread, not becauze I hate benz, but because I am a realistic person. Do not listen to folks who are going to tell you fantasies and coerce you with sweet words so you can buy their preferred brand in this benz thread. If you do, when the bills start loading, you'd be the one to bear the brunt alone. 6 Likes |

Anisiobi2:Naturally aspirated , it's a good SUV... 320 and CClass is also great one go for C 320 naturally aspirated they seem to useM112 engine Iga enweta parts na Nkpor ... They are available and rarely get damaged... The gears are built like tank

Re: Mercedes Benz Thread by IkpuMmadu: 5:00am On Dec 17, 2020 |
Anisiobi2: Congratulations.... ML320 is a great ride ... A friend owns it and I have driven it, though I am into C class... That car is massive Some dude did a review on that car and I looked it up in YouTube and the people that use it praise the SUV , it's truly an SUV and body on frame full 4matic learnt that the fuel economy is good due ti double plugs per cylinder... It uses 12 plugs making the fuel economy good.... Did a lot of research on that SUV... I love the 2003 - 2005 model Watch this video, pay particular attentions to reviews of people that own the car and have used it... They just said the truth... W163 I think from what they said is a great SUV all over the world .... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E774KyEmVCM |
Re: Mercedes Benz Thread by HeavenlyBang(m): 7:47am On Dec 17, 2020 |
dwilliams: Why not look at a 2007/2008 Acura MDX? It's better than the GL and the Highlander. Cheaper too. |
Re: Mercedes Benz Thread by Kewtt: 7:48am On Dec 17, 2020 |
Anisiobi2:Your choice is on point |
Re: Mercedes Benz Thread by HeavenlyBang(m): 7:51am On Dec 17, 2020 |
Anisiobi2: If you want to do her well, buy an RX330 or something. Very comfortable ride. That ML is awful. Awful ride quality, awful road manners, rust issues, electronic issues. Just friendly advice. 1 Like |
