I've noticed that the fuel mileage drops off considerably above 70 mph.
 
I have a little over 2000 miles on my ML320 CDI. I just finished a trip of mostly Interstate 1200 miles at 70-80+ mph. Trip computer said the average speed was 62 mph and the fuel consumption was 24.5 mph. I like this truck!

Anyone know who makes all-weather mats for the 2007 ML-320? I don't like the ones offered by MB. Thanks

Weathertech (not sure of spelling) usually has great all-weather stuff. My mats in my R are great to look at, but very impractical.

I agree 110% on the MB mats. They're junk.
 
The Weathertech are pretty good, but they do not cover the left foot rest area and they are not an exact fit. Their cargo area mat is very good however.
 
I have custom made Cocomats; and they are really nice. They have a heavy duty rubber backing/bottom and will hold a lot of crap. Since they were custom made, they fit very well. If you'd like to see some photos of how they look, take a look here:

They are available in a wide variety of colors. I chose the one I did because it will hide a lot of different kinds of dirt. Their website is here:

(No, I don't have any relationship - other than a happy customer - with them.)

Anyone find a winter wiper blade for 2007? Dealer says they don't have one and Trico doesn't list one in their catalog.

weight distribution / equalizing hitch by bubbadog

Can someone look in their owner manual to see if there is any reference to a weight distribution hitch (WDH) / equalizing? I have a 4,000# Argosy 20’ trailer I want to tow that has a hitch weight of 400-425 #. The dealers cannot answer my question if a WDH can be used on a MB 320 CDI.

From page 343 of the Owner's Manual, the maximum tongue weight is 496 lbs. This for the factory installed receiver. Maximum gross trailer weight is 4,982 lbs. There is no mention of a WDH.

Live in Hi Desert where temps drop to low teens & single digits, read recently that low sulfur diesel fuel can "gel" at low temps, wondering if a) anyone has experienced something like this b) availability of this low sulfur diesel fuel, Plenty of Chevron stations here, do they carry it??
thanks to all

ULSD is number 2 diesel. It is good down to about zero. Most cold areas blend in number 1 diesel (kerosene) when it is very cold to prevent gelling. 100% Biodiesel can gel at a much higher temp. It depends on the source. I would mix it with number 2 diesel anytime you are in the freezing range. Most all stations are required to sell ULSD or post if they do not have it. To be sure you can use additives that prevent gelling.

Sulfur smell by cneff
Mar 01, 2007 (5:27 pm)

Just picked up an 07 ML320CDI and noticed an occasional sulfer smell and it stung my eyes....this happened at traffic lights and while idling in my driveway. Not brutal but enough to notice. What is odd is that the demo I drove showed no signs of this - I even stood behind it while it was running just to make sure. Mine is brand new, 42 miles on it.
MB Customer service said that should not be, as the person I spoke to had the same model, maybe the dealer made an error and filled the tank with the wrong type of diesel.
 
Anyway...have any of you noticed this with the new CDIs? Does it improve over time?
 
I'm going to service just to be sure. Otherwise I am impressed with the drive ability of these Diesels. Over 20mpg on the computer and it is not nearly broken in yet.
 
Thanks in advance
