It says 1500kg and 2500kg on the towbar and the rest is in German, I assumed max weight would be 1500kg but now unsure. I could order a manual from Mercedes but wanted to tow this weekend and it will take at least 5 days to have one sent, v poor.
Hi,
We have a W124 300td and we regularly tow our caravan which is 1320kg but the kerb weight according to most tec data and towing places is 1500kg on the w124 300td so you can safely tow 85% of this behind you laden.
Thats the rule of thumb anyway mate.
Its a very good model for towing you have and i'm sure you know this
