Replying to: rsholland (Nov 06, 2009 5:42 am) Of course you'll see more reliance on Fiat platforms - Chrysler has been product starved for years. Ram was announced as it's own brand a couple of weeks ago and I could see it adding Fiat work vans to replace the current Sprinter. Most interesting is that Viper may come back with some Ferrari bits hidden inside. |

Replying to: xwesx (Nov 06, 2009 10:47 am) Funny you should mention that. I like the GLK because I think it resembles a last gen Forester and my wife likes it because she thinks it looks like a small Jeep (she used to own a Grand Cherokee). -Frank

Replying to: p0926 (Nov 06, 2009 11:56 am) http://www.netcarshow.com/mercedes-benz/2010-glk_350_4matic/ I'm curious as to what the unbraked towing is. Some (most?) European vehicles can tow ~ 1600 pounds without trailer brakes. If you feel up to it, check your owner's manual. ...And you just knew I'd be asking you thiat question!  BTW, I've got our Forester hooked up to my 5 x 8 trailer—loaded with leaves—and ready to head to the county landfill in the morning. Probably 4 or 5 trips tomorrow, with load 1 ready to go... Bob

Replying to: rsholland (Nov 06, 2009 1:32 pm) Interesting... the operator's manual only lists the 3,500 lb GTW rating. The GLK is pre-wired to accept a 7-wire harness but the manual directs you to check state and local laws for their trailer brake requirements. Good luck hauling those leaves. Speaking of which, I better head outside myself and get started on the yard. -Frank

Replying to: rsholland (Nov 07, 2009 6:41 pm) Over time (lots of time), you end up with rich, dark soil. I made an herb garden for the wife, which we'll start planting in next year. I'll show you next time you come over. I have yet to tackle the leaves this year. We had TONS of acorns, the most ever. Wonder why?
