The Mercedes-Benz GL 450 is a Large Luxury SUV Built for the American Market *SOLD*

SOLD This is a full review and test drive of a 2016 Mercedes-Benz GL 450, a large luxury SUV sold globally but built with the American market in mind. This sucker is BIG - a direct competitor for the Cadillac Escalade and Suburban/Tahoe/Yukon. By 2016, the 450's original 4.7 V8 was replaced with a twin-turbocharged 3.0 V6 putting out the same horsepower, if down on torque a little bit. It's mated to the tried and true 7-speed automatic and Mercedes-Benz's advanced 4Matic AWD system, making it a capable off roader.
The original GL, released in 2007 (US), was designed to replace the much more primitive G-Wagen, but customer demand prevented MB from doing away with that model. Regardless, the GL found great success, and enjoyed a position at the top of the large luxury SUV class for many years, selling more units than any other competitor. SOLD

Came to learn more about a Benz, stayed to the end for the humor. You have a talent, sir. Almost enough to convince me to buy a used German SUV.

"Drums at one point got a little simplistic..." hilarious, so wonderfully politically incorrect! Thanks Sir for the review.

If I lived in FL I would by a vehicle from you based on your comments! Im laughing out loud all the while I'm learning.

"Kim kardashians of the world and eastern europeans mafia lobbying" jajajja thats accurate history!!! You got to love this guy! Im not here for the cars only, im here to have fun with history lessons and sarcastic jokes, keep it coming Bill!

I have several vehicles, one being a GL450. I learned a couple of new features just from watching the video. Great job and sense of humor.

I have a 2011 GL550 that just turned 70,000 Mike's. It's a V8 powered tank! Total beast. I really love it. The interior on the newer GL's are a bit nicer, but nothing beats the normally aspired V8 motor that will go 500,000 miles with nothing more than basic maintenance.

How often do you change your spark plugs and engine air filter?

Your a legend when it comes to vehicle reviews Bill. I’m finally moving up from my old wonderful 03 Lincoln Navigator. It’s time to retire it after 10+ years of ownership and at 220K miles. I’m in the process of finding a nice gently used GL for my new family vehicle.

Oh, how I just search for one of your reviews each time I just wanna have a wild laugh...lol

I like you..you are a straight shooter..you don't pussy-foot around..What do you really think about this suv or any other used GL450 suv as far as reliability? Are they really as bad as some say?

[@gabemarah9465]

Be aware about the suspension popping, it happened three days after it was bought (I kept raising the car, I don’t do that anymore). No problem yet. Just got it last year, over the summer.
