Another example of a poor match to a tow vehicle. IMHO. It's over 30 feet long towed with a vehicle at a 121" wheelbase. With the hitch weight basically maxed out.
Glad I'm not towing it.

The OP TV is a MB V6 Diesel 240HP, 455lb Torque. It's the same combo various Class B's are shipped with.

I thought I would never tell someone he needs to get rid of their Mercedes and buy a decent tow vehicle.
That's my suggestion.
I found out quickly that there are a lot of people posting on here who think only a pickup truck is a good TV.
P.S: Even though I am a newbie here I have towed RV's since I was 15 and I am 63 now.

I still have the same TV...although went from a 2014 to 2015 (but still a Mercedes GL350 which I believe same towing specs)
I'm looking at a Apex 288bhs. (the model a looked at was 5100lbs and tongue weight of 585lbs)
Is this still too much trailer?
