Believe it or not, the R-class does not seem to have proper lumbar support for the passenger. The lumber support for the driver is mediocre.
 
Long distance trips require proper seating and lumber support.

How about a trailer hitch? Even a light duty 2000 lb. hitch would be OK and would allow me to tow my boat. I had my heart set on buying a CDI R-Class but the lack of a tow package is stopping me. The only other 6 passenger CDI powered alternative is the $70K GL which is out of the question.

I found that a trailer coupler is offered as an $886 option in Mercedes Benz' foreign markets.

1 year owner of R Class:
YES--Touch Screen for Navigation.
YES--TRAILER HITCH for Bike Rack, and Boat Towing.
 
BUNDLE OPTIONS into packages or lines instead of having us special order each individual car.
There should be a $40K Standard, $45K Delux , and $50K Loaded R350 MRSP. And similar for the other engine choices.
 Seat Heaters shouldn't be an option for people in Minnesota!
Air adjust shocks shouldn't be an option for anyone.
Options should be paint colors and wheels, not basic features.
THe best headlights should come on all models of MB, safety features shouldn't be optional.
And remind me, why is the battery under the passenger seat?
