Hey Quadro why all the name calling? You sure know how to make people feel welcome on the 570 forum.
Your statement that "an engine producing more horsepower will always win, period" covers a lot of territory. My point is, do you tow by going wide open from stoplight to stoplight so you can use all that HP? By your definition, a truck with the new Corvette 6.2 C7 460hp engine "will always win period" compared to say the 6.7 litre Ford diesel or the Duramax with a lowly 400hp. Never mind the diesel produces 750 lbs of torque at 1600 rpm. Hook up 20k or so to the trucks above and see which one pulls better.
Signed,

I like the MB GL class SUVs and considered one myself until I started adding options and it became more than I wanted to spend. Had it not been for the price I would have seriously considered it. I like the looks and the gas mileage of the GL, good luck with it.
