Some muddin' shots of the new M-Class

Mercedes is touting the off-road prowess of the M-Class with a new Off-Road Pro engineering package. Features of the off-road package include a two-speed transfer case with an off-road ratio, manually or automatically engageable differential locks (100 per cent) between the front and rear axle and on the rear axle, plus a modified version of the AIRMATIC air suspension system which has been specially tailored to off-road driving and which raises the ground clearance by 4 inches to as much as 11 inches and the vehicle's fording depth to a maximum of almost 24 inches. I'm sure I will be able to count the amount of M-Classes that go off-road in the US on one hand. Click though for more pics.
