While the Super Duty’s hydraulic-assist steering isn’t compatible with the F-150’s secondary trailer-reversing knob, the big trucks do feature a clever guidance system that overlays a virtual steering wheel on the rearview-camera image and recommends inputs for dead-straight backing of the trailer. More important, low-speed maneuverability is greatly improved, requiring fewer twirls of the wheel to position the truck on a tight trail, wind through a narrow parking lot, or reverse a 30-foot enclosed trailer. The Sprinter inherited the ability to trailer 5000 pounds of weight from the last year' s model. Lax van rentals offers several 7, 8, 12, 15 passenger vans in Los Angeles airport, however the Mercedes sprinter van with side facing seats and tall side doors will better accommodate big passengers with a lot of luggage. Mercedes-Benz are expanding their commercial vehicle lineup with zero-emission versions of their vans. Daimler Vans will notify owners, advising them to stop driving the vehicle immediately. The vehicle will launch as a 2013 model year in late April/early May.


As you can see, 2012 is shaping up to be quite the revolutionary year here at Mercedes-Benz of Kansas City. As in the F-150, the crew cab brings ample rear-seat space and a completely flat floor, which can be optioned with a full-width, locking storage compartment that collapses when not needed. Our first drive on the open road in a near-$80,000 F-250 Platinum crew cab was somewhat surreal, so refined was the truck’s behavior. Our first real-world experience, however, took us to Denver, Colorado, where Ford schooled us in the tech that went into updating virtually every facet of its big rigs, including a stronger frame, new aluminum bodywork, and a bevy of clever, real-world engineering solutions. General fuel economy should improve slightly for both engines, but the EPA doesn’t require fuel-economy testing for vehicles with a GVWR over 8500 pounds, and real-world returns vary widely depending on a truck’s configuration and usage.


Since 2003, there have been 30 Mercedes-Benz Citaro buses with fuel cell drive that are now on regular route service in ten major European cities. That might sound like two small niches, but the success of the previous-generation GLE43 coupe proved there was demand for both. What’s more, we keep a well-equipped fleet of complimentary loaner cars for our customers to ensure you’re never left stranded when service is involved, and we proudly offer complimentary car washes whenever you’d like one. Mercedes-Benz has done a fine job balancing utility, comfort, and security with the Sprinter Traveliner, and we’re proud to offer this vehicle option to our customers. Ford says it put more development into the 2017 F-series Super Duty-more than 12 million test miles-than any other vehicle it’s ever created, which may give the new truck an edge over its crosstown rivals in pretty much every way. Are you planning to drive car, bus, truck anything else?


Listed below are some suggestions which can help you in gaining profits from these properties. My wife who has disabling pain of both the lower back and neck can now ride in the comfort of a nice recliner, and when we stop, still has that recliner to sit rather than having to lay down. A euro recliner chair across from the dinette makes a comfy spot to kick back. Our Mercedes-Benz dealerships, in conjunction with Sleepyhead Beds, a Kansas City based nonprofit organization, will be holding back to back weekend Bed Drives to benefit children in the metro area that do not have a bed to sleep in at night. Mercedes-Benz of Kansas City is a Kansas City, MO based Mercedes-Benz dealership specializing in Mercedes-Benz, smart,Sprinter, and Airstream products. This week at Sadler’s Racing in Olathe, members from Aristocrat Motors and Mercedes-Benz of Kansas City took to the indoor track to settle who our fastest go kart driver is.


The tournament is a series of rounds, where each driver has 10 minutes to race, and the drivers with the fastest lap times advance to the subsequent rounds. In trucks so equipped, the Super Duty driver can scan the exterior from almost every angle via the 8.0-inch central touchscreen, which-along with the remote tailgate release and highly adjustable exterior mirrors-allows for solo hookups to most trailers. But for now, Ford’s new Super Duty is the ultimate workhorse. While we had minimal exposure to Ford’s standard 6.2-liter V-8, it’s a capable engine with 385 ponies and 430 lb-ft, well suited to the lighter-and off-road-side of the big truck’s duty cycle. The Ford GT’s golden-anniversary class win at the 24 Hours of Le Mans endurance race may be Dearborn’s highlight in 2016, but an arguably bigger effort has been brewing as Ford prepares to release the 2017 F-series Super Duty later this year.
