How much can a Mercedes-Benz E320 be towed?
In US pickup manufacturers brainwashed the car owners that they need a pickup for towing. The same 320 engine/transmissions mounted in ML are allowed to pull 5000 lb and I did tow more than that. Nice pictures Arne. An Airstream or it’s equivalent would be called a caravan in the UK.

What happens to the suspension of a tow vehicle?
