Maximum drawbar noseweight
! Use a drawbar noseweight as close as pos-
sible to the maximum permissible nose-
weight. Do not use a noseweight of less than
50 kg, otherwise the trailer may come loose.
Note that the payload and the rear axle load
are reduced by the actual payload.
Towing a trailer is not possible with all models.
Further information ( Y
page 203).
The drawbar load reduces the permissible over-
all load and rear axle load. The drawbar load acts from above onto the ball
head on the trailer tow hitch.
The trailer drawbar noseweight is not included in
the towing weight.
Model Permissible nose-
weight
All models
280 lbs (127 kg)
The actual noseweight may not be higher than
the value which is given. The value can be found
on the trailer tow hitch or trailer identification
plates. The lowest weight applies.
The maximum permissible trailer drawbar nose-
weight is the maximum weight with which the
trailer drawbar can be loaded. The permissible
trailer drawbar noseweight is the limit for
Mercedes-Benz-approved trailer couplings.
