Evening, I am a family man that just started a new job that requires me to drive all over the Atlanta area, some days hours at a time. When I am not driving in traffic or back roads, I am driving on partially developed job sites. The ML350 (2012-2015) in my experience is a reliable, comfortable vehicle that seems perfect for the around town travel. My questions revolve around its performance in light to moderate offroad conditions? does anyone have experience driving the ML350 in inhospitable conditions? Do the suspensions hold together well?
Also, I am interested in a Bluetek diesel. I have read online everything from they are incredibly reliable to they are junk. I'd like to hear from anyone who has either driven one 200,000 miles+, or a mechanic that has worked on them. Is this the new (used) vehicle for me?
Thanks in advance for your time
