We tow all the time with bumper style hitches on our two 300SD's....and have never had any issues. As long as you don't exceed their rating (200ish on the hitch and 2000 towing)....problems are unlikely. I've pulled as much as 1300lbs with no problem. The brakes on a 300SD are more powerful than they're given credit for. I had no trouble bringing my heavy trailer + car to a quick stop a few times from 55-60mph. I have cross drilled rotors + ceramic pads so I get essentially no brake fade even on tough stops.
