I have driven these a lot, I have rented them for weeks at a time. Like I said I couldn't wait to get my S Class back when I had that GLS for a week, and thats smaller and more carlike than a Yukon.

What is a modern high end Mercedes gas pedal like? Mine is olllld school. LONNNNNNNNG pedal travel but precise. Yukon would already be down 3 gears and near redline before I even got to the kickdown switch, at least in my OLD Benz. SL would be dusted in a roll.

What about turning radius in both? I’ve got to get my laptop going.

The truck will never, ever, beat the sedan for nimbleness and agility. It's so much easier to dart and pass in the 540i. I can go from 60-100 in the blink of an eye.

I love driving both, but they're very different driving experiences.

I am going to sit tight but I will be back in something more luxurious before too long.

One less thing to worry about friend. 🤓

The throttle response is very quick, the low end torque of the TTs helps with that. In comfort mode the throttle is longer, but I keep the engine in sport mode.
