I did not want to get a pickup truck (not my thing) or any of the domestic SUV's, but I need something to tow. Also checked out Toyota Sequoia, and Lexus 570, but to go from BMW to one of those...
I've driven the GL and it drove like large station wagon compared to the X5. I don't think the Mercedes diesel has enough power in my opinion. I test drove the diesel in the ML and it was OK around the city, but didn't have enough passing power on the highway. The X5 diesel has plenty of power. I have the diesel X5 and really like it.

Good luck with your decision,

Craig
