iGVWR is the maximum permissible gross
weight of the vehicle. Gross vehicle weight (GVW) is the vehicle weight including fuel,
service products, spare wheel, accessoriesinstalled, load and, if applicable, trailer
drawbar load. The GVW must never exceed
the GVWR.
iThe GAWR is the maximum permissible
axle weight.
Vehicle data for off-road driving
Fording depth
!
The depth of water must not exceed the
value specified in the table. Note that the
possible fording depth is less in flowingwater.
The table shows fording depth :when loa-
ded and ready to drive.
Fording depth24 in (60 cm)
For more information about off-road fording,
see the Digital Operator's Manual.
Approach/departure angle
GWARNING
If you drive on a steep incline at an angle or
turn when driving on an incline, the vehicle
could slip sideways, tip and rollover. There is a risk of an accident.
Always drive on a steep incline in the line of
fall (straight up or down) and do not turn the
vehicle.
For vehicles with steel springs, loaded and
ready to drive means: a full tank, all fluids
refilled and the driver is in the vehicle.

For further information about approach/
departure angles, see the Digital Operator's
Manual.
Maximum gradient-climbing capabil- ity
Note that the vehicle's gradient-climbing
capability depends on the off-road conditions
and the road surface conditions.
On good road surfaces the maximum gradi-
ent-climbing capability of your vehicle is
100%, which corresponds to an approach/
departure angle of 45°.
Accelerate carefully and make sure that the
wheels do not spin when driving on steep ter- rain.
iIf the load on the front axle is reduced
when pulling away on a steep uphill slope,
the front wheels have a tendency to spin.
4ETS detects this and brakes the wheels
accordingly. The rear wheel torque is
increased, making it easier to drive off.
For further information about the maximum
gradient climbing ability, see the Digital Oper-
ator's Manual.
Trailer tow hitch
Mounting dimensions
!
If you have a trailer tow hitch retrofitted,
changes to the engine cooling system may
be necessary, depending on the vehicletype.
If you have a trailer tow hitch retrofitted,
observe the anchorage points on the chas-
sis frame.
:Anchorage points
;Overhang dimension
For trailer tow hitches installed at the factory, the overhang dimension including protective
covering is 35.2 in (895 mm).

The actual noseweight may not be higher than the value which is given. The value can be foundon the trailer tow hitch or trailer identification plates. The lowest weight applies.
The maximum permissible trailer drawbar noseweight is the maximum weight with which the
trailer drawbar can be loaded. Limit for Mercedes-Benz-approved trailer couplings.
