I have gone way faster in a Mercedes-Benz ML63 AMG. Fast enough to have lost my license.

It really depends on the bend thier are bends and there are bends, " bend get grade"

I'm talking about bends like this

The Navigator is essentially a Ford Expedition with upgrades.

The air suspension is not like the Cayenne and or the Range Rover. It's not set up for performance driving on tarmac.

Not sure which year model you are talking about but it's still a truck. Anybody driving that briskly through corners, has a "DEATH WISH"

I still did though grin

120km isn't a very fast speed for a 32intech V8. The vehicle is heavy too so it can take bends and corners at that speed easily but not sharp ones.

Fallacy of Generalization.

I have navigate bends at 120km/h in a Lincoln Navigator.

It is not a German thing you have not just driven other better cars from other manufacturers. God deliver Nigerian from the shackles of tohyortaa kamury and korola

There are bends in road

There are curved roads

There are corners in road

There are winding roads which are bends in S shape example of such roads is lagos Abeokuta express.

Curved road is dangerous and I can't navigate it at high speed whether with suv or sedan such is the okenne bypass when heading to the north.

Drive responsibly and respect other road users.

Seems you don't know what a bend is, it will do you good to know the meaning and application before you try to prove an individual wrong.

You can't differentiate a curved road, a bend in a road, a corner road and you call yourself a driver with a driving license grin

That's probably an heavy duty vehicle. Those gears are not for driving alone. They work for forks and all the machineries

I think the picture is fake cos truck gears don't look that. So its definitely a car but with a Photoshop gear.

That is a U curved road no vehicle can take that at even 50km/h without losing control.

Bends are supposed to be more gentle than your picture in page 4

The off-ramp from 3rd MB to Adekunle, Yaba

na bend or curve or corner?

doesn't feel great beyond that speed though i imagine it was mostly a mind thing
