This 2007 Mercedes-Benz ML500 is a powerful, comfortable, and exceptionally well-kept luxury SUV featuring the rare factory-installed tow package.

Tow Package
One of the standout features of this ML500 is its factory-installed tow package, an increasingly desirable option on these vehicles. Although the owner reports limited towing use, the SUV has the V8 power and equipment to make it a capable tow vehicle. Mercedes built this for the American market to tow pleasure craft and it s a no joke set up!
The owner reports having previously towed a 16-foot trailer on a long trip and found the vehicle very stable and capable.
Overall Condition
This ML500 presents as a notably clean and well-maintained example considering its age and mileage. The exterior is clean and well-preserved, the interior has been carefully maintained, and the vehicle has received meaningful mechanical investment in recent years.
The combination of the 5.0L V8, factory tow package, recent maintenance, clean interior, recent tires, and extensive included accessories makes this an appealing example for someone looking for a capable and comfortable Mercedes SUV.
The owner is also willing to provide an introduction to the mechanic who has maintained the vehicle. The mechanic is familiar with this generation of Mercedes-Benz and has serviced the vehicle at reasonable rates.
Please review all photos carefully and take advantage of the scheduled preview period to personally inspect the vehicle before bidding.
