1997 C280 Towing Capacity?

Hello all. I Need help identifying the towing and tongue weight capacity for a 1997 C280.

Not concerned so much about towing weight as I am with tongue weight. I figure it will tow a trailer weighing less than 1500 pounds with about a 180 pound tongue weight with no problems at all. Just wanting assurances. Does MB publish this information? Not in owners manual.

Thanks!

The guy was actually living in the trailer and traveling around the country.
