wow, just think of it.. it launched about the same time as the 2nd gen Ford Explorer... The Ford Explorer is known for rolling over easely and having a VERY poor roof structure, while this merc has exellent safety systems
@G0Far Thats for sure... Double C-channel welded frame with front and rear sub frames bolted to it... Tough stuff. Had to change out a front sub frame when a customer drove his ML55 into a bridge at highway speeds. Had that been an X-5 or something to that effect the car would be scrap. To go on a tangent...i wish i could make people put a car up on a lift before they buy it. Just look at a MDX VS a ML.....
@RLhockey203 it saved my moms life a year ago she was going down a grade and 3 f350 hit her one on the right side two in the back then a buick hit her in the front and a honda hit her by the driver side in the front and i was scared cause she wass the center but she was fine not a scratch
my cousin got into an accident with this. She was T-Boned in the side of her car at 65 mph, and she lived. The police and ems said if she was driving any other car, she would have died

@RLhockey203 Of course it did. The framework on these W163's are golden. Best ever; you won't find this type of work on any other car today.

@taran245 agreed. I seen a lot of them just sitting in the middle of the road, and it took a honk for them to get moving.
