There was just no room left over in the entire vehicle. I would go as far as saying it is just as small as the Cadillac SRX which I had the pleasure of renting from Hertz for a week out of ATL last year. The ML was not available or else I would have rented one as I really needed more space.
I am on my second ML 350 my first (last generation) had the same issue with the transmission, fixed by Mercedes, my new one 2012 is far better than my 2008 model . I just returned from Bend Oregon back to Vancouver averaging 35.1 mpg !!
