2001 Mercedes-Benz M Class 3500 SLT Dually

One of the most noteworthy introductions in recent years, Mercedes-Benz entered the luxury sport-utility market in 1997 with the 1998 ML320. Built exclusively in a new, state-of-the-art plant in Alabama, the M-Class boasts a fully independent suspension and sophisticated 4-wheel-drive system. The ML320 aluminum V6 was an all-new design and the first production V6 for Mercedes-Benz. According to the automaker, the main goal for the M-Class was to combine superior off-road capability with the ride and handling expected from a Mercedes-Benz. Mercedes added the V8 powered ML430 for the 1999 model year and the AMG-modified ML55 for the 2000 model year.
