Anyone ? ...Just wondering how it performs ? Need to tow a 1600kg box trailer with mine.

Depending on the model 1600kg is going to be roughly the same as the car's kerbweight, which with a high-sided trailer probably isn't ideal from a stability POV?
 
Hi kjk2205
Do you need the full 1600kg or is that the max weight of your trailer?
I have a C250 W205 (last one W204) and tow a 1400kg caravan with no problems at all.
Only strange thing is that the auto box leaves it in 1st & 2nd too long, but I just click the paddle to switch up.
1600kg should be fine, although legally you should keep below the kerbweight mass of the vehicle (which is 1595kg on my vehicle)
 
Which engine do you have op?
