I guess I got lucky with mine ,have been happy with it . I did do a good bit of prep before I applied it . Much like ceramic coating the paint , I strip washed and de iron,then prep wipe . so far it has held up well to a lot of washings over the last 6 months. The part I liked best was all the...

Looked around forum didn’t find the answer,but if I missed it sorry . Anyways I’m going to change at 5000 miles which I think is fairly conservative for my rough service ( towing ) .taking notice of oil life screen wondering what parameters does the ecu read to show that value, I always assumed...

Wow that is a hike ,I drove 10 hrs. 500 milesOne way myself .check their website,and YouTube videos out .the owner Andy Thompson is the best in North America.check out “hitch hints”his column in rv lifestyle magazine (some old articles are on line ). My st is all std. gears etc. if you like...

I see you have a STLine might be lacking in some key areas ,I was good with my ST because of power and gear ratios .but rather than be a keyboard expert ,your location puts you near the go to experts at Can Am rv in London,Ontario .reach out to them . I bought everything from them prices were...

Put on another 300 miles pulling our airstream . Was able to hit a Cat scale going out . Weights were front axle :2660 rear axle :3140 and trailer 6520. Steered very well on curves ,pulled up on ramps very well .transmission and engine temps never moved,and gas mileage was11.5 on the hotter day...

Haven’t weighed the rig yet , trailer is around 6800 . Tongue weight probably pushing 800/900 .having said that set up really moves weight to front tires and back to trailer ,that’s the key to Can Am rv setup . They build a brace for the receiver and have their own shank that gets ball close to...

Thanks !

Just returned from a 130 mile tow ,(260 round trip )ex st pulled like a champ .as good or better than my platinum expedition . Receiver hitch beefed up by can am rv ,equalizer hitch ,and brake controller also done by them. Ex. Was balanced perfect ,no pushing through the corners .

Inserts in all seats , with leather surrounding .not a super common feature guessing from what saw shopping last couple months. But not sure of that. I think it is sometimes referred to as alcantra ?

Just got my 2023 ,wondering if anyone can give feedback on cleaning ,treatment,and wear ? This is the first ride I have had with a synthetic suede. anybody done a protectant ? Thanks in advance

In hopes of getting my ST built for towing ,I’m surfing for mods that might improve transmission cooling . Can anyone give feed back on the aluminum transmission oil pans ? Also I admit to getting lost looking at oem parts break downs between explorer and piu . In regards to auxiliary coolers...

Thank you thank you and big thanks! That made it almost easy !

Thanks ! Thrilled to finally get our St. ,!

Thanks for the welcome and advice! This ST has been at a couple of mercedes dealers the last couple of months via auctions so the loose stuff got lost .no key no mats ,but the price was right so I am not complaining!
