Re: [MBZ] ML Towing

When I needed to add trailer wiring to my volvo, I got a kit from eTrailer.com. Very easy, pre-wired harness and powered converter that plugs right into the stock taillight harness connections. No cutting or splicing wire. I'll never do it any other way again. Allan Dan Penoff via Mercedes

Re: [MBZ] ML Towing

W163 is rated at 5000lb by MBUSA, I don't know what the international rating is. Curt's hitch is rated conservatively at 3500lb. Draw-tite's hitch is rated at 5000lb. There doesn't seem to be any difference in the hitches, the Draw-tite comes with a couple of angle brackets which you're supposed

I put it to the Knutson test. And Todd said: Pretty active bidding. It’s nice. Can’t say much wrong with it as it appears well sorted. Looks like it’ll hit $9k. That’s a high end but not terrible for the 230. At $10k it’s way over priced. ___

It's right close by, I could go take a look at it if you (or anyone) has an interest Driving this 211 05E320 I am quite surprised with how much more refined it is over the 210, quieter, tighter, feels much more solid, doors "clunk" better.  Other than the semi-electronic dash, which does have

Yeah I noticed that too.  I don't need another project but I could be half tempted to go with $500, although it is 2.5 hr away.  Dealing with this 163 and trying to get the tranny nanny sorted is kinda annoying me.  It could be a good flip though after putting a bit of time and $250 into it.

It’s got the multi-contour seats and xenons. Those are pretty rare options that add some value. Get it down to maybe $3200 and it’s a deal. -D > On Jun 1, 2020, at 10:34 AM, Floyd Thursby via Mercedes > wrote: > >

Re: [MBZ] ML Towing

There are guys on the ML FB group who tow all kinds of stuff with 163s including trailer/car rigs. The 163 doesn’t have the nannies that get unhappy with towing, 164s want a $2000 nanny setup to make the other nannies happy. So basically you can put on a hitch (there are 3000 and 5000lb

[MBZ] ML Towing

Do any of you guys who have ML's do any towing with it?  What can they tow?  Could one pull a 18' car trailer with, say, and 210 or something similar on it?  What do you have to do to get trailer wiring/trailer brake controller hooked up to one of these?  Just curious.

Re: [MBZ] ML Towing brake controller

Oh and I put a brake controller on my truck, it is some kind of accelerometer deal I guess, it was kind of a pain to wire up, wires to the battery then to the controller and back to the big plug. I guess the same thing would work on the ML, it’s nothing special. My suburban has the trailer
