I have a herniated disc in my lower back and getting up in and out of my Denali puts undue strain on my lower back. As a result, I have ordered a 2023 Mercedes Benz GLE 450 4-Matic. My new vehicle was built on January 5 so I'm just awaiting delivery from Alabama to Louisiana.

My dealer is offering my $73,000 for my Denali. What kind of trade-in numbers are you guys seeing?

I have some back and leg problems that pretty-much stop me from driving the wifey's GLE450 for more than a few minutes.

This past November I test drove a 2021 GLS450 and didn't care for its somewhat confining driver's cockpit nor its sporty seats, although the GLS adaptive suspension made for smooth ride over minor bumps.

That's ^^^ what has gotten me down into the Tahoe-Suburban rabbit hole, LOL !!

I test drove a GLS 450 but could not swallow the 96,000 price tag. Hoping to enjoy the GLE450

My wife has a 2022 GLE350 and it's been a great car. Very comfortable even with not having the air suspension. For being a midsize SUV I fit very well in it, plenty of headroom, and shoulder width. I'd drive a GLE if someone took my Tahoe away

I took delivery of my 2023 GLE 450 on Monday, 1/23. I LOVE it!!!

This car drives like a magic carpet. There are tons of things that I still have to figure out.

I miss my Yukon, but am loving to drive my GLE.

You’ll Love the 9G-Tronic transmission, shifts as fast/crisp like a sports car. 75000Miles later ours still drives like new. 1300RPM @ 70MPH. just did the transmission service on ours, bit of an ordeal but got it done.
