Used 2013 Mercedes Benz M-Class 350

I bought this particular SUV because it would haul our trailer (over 7,000 lbs towing capacity), was good off road and great in snow, and offered surprisingly good fuel efficiency for a large-ish SUV: Rated 17 city/22 highway, my overall real world average has been 21.3 mpg - and I live in the Sierra with no freeways anywhere near me. It is comfortable, with highly adjustable seats; Even the rear seats have the ability to recline. Good in snow? Yes indeed - I have been able to get home in conditions that stopped other vehicles even though I use (Michelin) all-season tires and not dedicated snow tires in winter. Safety ratings are top notch, and the real world performance of braking systems has proved itself with 2 accidents avoided without drama in 5 years. Add the other safety features - many airbags, pre-collision adjustments to seat and headrest positions etc - and one has vehicle safety that is top tier.
