Exactly correct. I go up/down my driveway (which is somewhat bumpy with
various tree roots in the tracks, if I was staying here I would get a
coupla loads of gravel) in the 211 wagon and it is your typical MB sedan
ride, absorbs the bumps with no drama. The E500 with air ride, which is
now working, is stiffer than the wagon even on the "comfort" setting and
you can feel the bumps but it does not bounce or pound. The ML is
rough, it hits and bounces on every one and is not particularly
pleasant. It does not take road bumps well either. But it will tow a
good load, and haul a fair amount of impedimenta, and will get through a
lot of unpleasant stuff if you need to.

truck-like ride they fit the bill. They’re heavy and ride harshly, just as you

I like them, but as a truck or SUV. I don’t think I would want to make any long
trips in one, but the seating and appointments are good. You’re going to feel
every bump in the road for sure.
