No, they tow in the mountains of New Zealand, highest peak 12,000 ft. It is a mighty hilly place.
This company sells Australian, US and British towables, notice the 30ft Ultima lightweight 5ver, 5th slideUltima 5ver in Mountainous New Zealand
The MB Pickup will be a more carlike "I Tonne" Pickup, than the Ranger. I think it will slightly more luxurious than the Ranger/Amarok

Sorry...not buying it....I'm talking about the little ugly Mercedes that is on your first post...Not believing it'll tow the 5er ALSO pictured up 12,000' peaks...not buying it..

...and I was talking about the Mercedes you first posting about...nothing else...your post was about the "want to be a truck" Mercedes...I doubt very seriously it'll tow the 5er that was pictured up mountains at a safe speed, to 12,000'.....So we need to be talking about the same thing here...you're switching vehicles on me now...

A 1 ton pick-up like the Ranger:E...don't even consider the Ford Ranger a 1/2 ton truck..Guess that's what we get being continents apart.


I would like to think that a MERCEDES BENZ would be " a little more "luxurious than a Ranger....but again, maybe my perception of what you're calling a Ranger isn't what I know as a Ranger....

I think you are talking about something totally different. Global Ranger like the new Mercedes is a 1 Tonne Ute, 2,200lb min payload. BOF. slightly smaller than the F150
The Ranger has nothing to do with the small US Ranger, it was nowhere as big as a base F150
