Got a bit of reality after looking at the Raptor, ehhh?
Oh no, Bryan. I'm still looking at that. The SUV is the wifey/baby hauler mobile

Love option one, but with kids in the picture option 2 is the smart choice.

Congrats on whichever you get. Good looking truck.

And the decision was.....

Hauled down to SoCal today to pick up the new truck. I was really leaning toward the white one but only hesitated because of that damn interior. So, I ended up actually listening to you clowns and went with the Palladium Silver/Black combo.

Definitely a better color in person. And soon after I put my daughter in the backseat, I was quickly relieved that I picked the black interior when she proceeded to spill her drink on the seat

V8 grumble is AWESOME. Fit and finish of the interior is first rate as one would expect. Thing moves for a truck.
My first experience with a start/stop feature. Dunno how I feel about it. Pretty sure I would turn it off all the time in a sports car as even that second of hesitation coming off the brake is noticeable and a bit annoying.

See above. You're anti-Mercedes stance is too late, Mark. Under different circumstances, I wouldn't get a MB either. But this one worked out for several reasons. If this car were for me (although I would never get an SUV as my primary car), I would have gone the Porsche route. Yeah, still not the prettiest girl at the prom, but at least it's not a luxo-boat like these MB's.

White is nice but interior will get dirty very quickly -- high maintenance. def prefer the second one also just as a personal preference that interior/exterior combo looks great.

EDIT: Just noticed you went for the second one. Congrats enjoy your new beast in the best of health.

Congratulations, I'm a big fan of the ML. We had the first generation ML W163 it was such a great SUV.

Congrats Bonehead! Looks great!

Is it just an optical illusion or is the new ML at least 3 ft longer than the old one?!?

Great choice, not only is that interior much nicer, but I love that silver - much better than the white. I have not seen a silver like that before.
