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!

That sounds about right for N America
The tow hitch that came off my 93 300te said 200 tongue and 2400 lb total

Precisely what I LOVE about this forum. That trailer is as big as a house!

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