Towing with a Mercedes Benz ML 350 Bluetec
I have a 2012 Mercedes ML350 Bluetec diesel and the tow capacity is 7300 pounds. I haven't weighed our trailer yet but the dry weight is 4600 pounds. I have recently read about Mercedes ML maximum hit...

I towed a 29 foot travel trailer with a 2013 gl450 for a couple of years. It had no issues and it rode great. Never an inch of sway or problems braking with trailer brakes. Air suspension, WDH kept it level with no sway. Had plenty of power with the twin turbo v8. I felt comfortable driving it so I did. Heard from plenty of people telling me to go buy a truck. Now I have a 2014 class C with the e450 chassis. The ride stinks, it doesn't brake well, I get blown all over the place on the highway, and its under-powered. I still love the class C but there is no comparison to towing with the mercedes. I know its not apples to apples but that's my experience. Hope it helps.
Thanks for the feedback...the GL450 is on my short list for my next vehicle.
Here is a Link to a video of A man towing 7,500 lbs with his GL320....
Now he is using a Hensley Arrow.
Thanks!
