There's a pawn shop owner near where I work who uses his SDL to pull a trailer. He goes to auctions and estate sales where he really loads that trailer up.

He's told me that the SDL does fine and gets decent mileage, even when towing heavy loads. However, he's not too happy with the way the SDL rear suspension drags when the trailer is loaded down.

I don't know if he ever completed the project, but he was parting out a 560SEL and trying to put the four wheel SLS from the 560 in his SDL to help tow things.
