E300td avantguard in purpl/clk in black
Hey guys been a long time not on.
Sold the old merc but can't live without one so...
We were looking at an ml series as we need 4x4 and also a car that can pull a horse box. So my questions are related to that, what should I look out for on these round the 2000 2001 year range? And are they OK for towing and generally as good as my other merc was?
Thanks for the help

Have you considered the Range since you require a 4x4 to pull your horse box?

Haha, well we have had so many deranged rovers over the years and although we like them never again. They are so unreliable with constant faults on most of them.
We have our trusty Isuzu which will pull a house down, but its be nice to have some comfort again.....oh and the Marc badge :)

Try and get a facelift model from September 2001 on.

I have bought my second and love it, bought my 03 plate Inspiration new and just bought an 02 270cdi, at some 11 years old it feels remarkably tight all round, well chuffed.

ML 270CDi 2001.
270 diesel will pull almost anything. Pulled my Toyota Camry V6 1996 and a car trailer about 2 ton all up with no problems except kept crapp*ing myself as every time I looked in the rearview I saw this car following me, it was quite disturbing. But if I had to do it again I would go for a 4 wheel trailer, if the truth be known I recon it was on the trailers limit so it bounced quite a bit.
