 I trading in my 1996 Ford Explorer XLT in on a 2001 "Mercedes Benz" ML320.  I traded in my T-O-T-L Explorer because while reliable,  it had interior rattles. 
 My brand new ML320 rattles worse. 
In addition the ML had the following failures: 1. Power windows. 2. Automatic door lock system. 3. ABS system. 4. Poor front and rear plastic bumper fit. 
5. Poor driver side side-view mirror  adjustability.  
6. Uncomfortable front leather seats. 
7.  Rear seats do not fold down flat.
