I find that my 300TE tows very well. The self levelling suspension maintains ride height and the car does not get pushed around by the trailer the way some cars do. From memory the towing capacity for mine for a trailer with brakes is 1900kg (the car weighs 1620kg). I like the turn signal repeater light on the instrument panel that flashes when a trailer is connected. It assures you that your trailer turn signals are working and also reminds you that you have a trailer behind, something that is easy to forget because it tows so well.
