First off, towing ratings / specifications for the mercedes W123 are 750KG (~1650lbs) unbraked, 1500KG (~3300lbs) braked, but only in Europe. Apparently if you use the same car in the USA you can't tow with it, according to Mercedes USA . There is some speculation as to why this is, but no-one really knows, at least not anyone I read from.

They probably figure that all the extra weight from the american spec bumpers and burger-eating couch potatoes use up all that towing capacity....
