I have a 2008 E220 CDI with a Bostal tow bar it,s detachable and works very well but on my car you have to change the engine fan because the one it has is not up to the job & also you have to put some mercedes reinforcing brackets in the boot because the plastic floor is to weak my car can tow 2 ton & I think the ball max weight is 80 Kgs

Thanks pma been looking around as to what folk say and some are not sure and others say can be difficult. Got a caravan i would like to tow MGTW 1 1/2 ton also wanted to put a 150 kg trail bike on the space out of the front of caravan counter balance rear but not many folk done it. Just working out the stress and force factors.


Cheers
