Actually, it uses tires removed from the MB tow vehicle.

I have a mighty fine utility trailer made from the cargo bed of a ~'38
Ford pickup; 'put new axle, springs and wheels on it 'bout 10 years
ago. When I put the new springs, etc., on it, I must have measured a
dozen times before I welded. It also has 123 MB wheel covers plus a
123 trunk star on the tailgate. It pulls/trails perfectly true behind
my '87 300D; 'makes for some good conversation, too - people say it's
the only MB trailer they've seen - me, too.

I won't tell you I bought a minivan a couple of years
ago. *blush*. I have little use for such a thing, but I
wanted to do a few renovations around the house, and figured
over the next few years, it would be handy. But you're right,
hard to justify hauling all the metal around most days, for
the odd time I carry a few sheets of plywood or drywall home.
It's hard to beat a small utility trailer for occasional hauling
duty. Less than $1000 _including_ a hitch on the tow car, low
tax, hitch it only when you need it, and even the little ones
have 1000 lb (500 kg) load capacity making it comparable to a
half-ton pickup.
Oh, and the deck is lower so loading/unloading is easier.
I think I just convinced myself!! I should go buy one! A
companion for the big one I have already.
