The Fast Lane Car has done it again! They've managed to uncover yet another hidden gem in the world of off-roaders. This time, it's the Mercedes GL, a car that most people probably wouldn't associate with off-roading. But wait, there's more! This particular GL comes with an incredibly rare off-road package that includes a low range transfer case, center locking diff, rear locking differential, and adaptive air suspension. It's like a Jeep or a Tacoma, but with all the luxury and comfort you'd expect from a Mercedes-Benz.
But that's not all. This GL is packed with features that were ahead of its time. It's got Xenon headlights that can steer around corners, a four-corner air suspension with different offered heights, and even the ability to ford up to 23 inches of water with the rare off-road package. Inside, there's push button start, dual-zone automatic climate control, and a command navigation screen with satellite radio. And let's not forget about the rear seat entertainment system complete with TV screens and Mercedes-branded earphones. It's like a mini theater on wheels!
Now, you might be thinking, "Well, how does it drive?" According to The Fast Lane Car, it's a bit squishy, but that's exactly what you want on a long road trip. It's not meant to be a sporty driving experience, but rather a comfortable and luxurious one. The V8 engine provides plenty of power, and the transmission is smooth as butter. And even though it may not have all the modern tech like USB ports, it's got that old-school charm with its Bluetooth receiver and wood-trimmed steering wheel.
But the real test for this GL is yet to come. The team at The Fast Lane Car plans to take it to Moab, Utah, the mecca of off-roading, to see if this mom car can handle the rugged terrain. With its off-road package, they're confident that it can conquer whatever obstacles come its way. So buckle up, because this adventure is just beginning, and The Fast Lane Car is ready to put this hidden off-road gem to the ultimate test.
