Like way2roll says, it's just "do the math".
MB Sprinters are close to their GCWR usually when towing something heavier, like a Wrangler, with it's real body on steel frame, pickup truck style of body/chassis.
Note: Your "towed" can't exceed the hitch/drawbar weight capacity either, which is 5,000lbs on most Sprinter 3500 chassis.
I tow a 2016 Wrangler JKU with my 2018 Navion on the 2017 Sprinter 3500 chassis. I'm just under the GCWR, but have a bit of wiggle room.
If you don't want to do the math, buy a Ford based motorhome. They're more forgiving, when towing. :C
