merc estate for towing

[maisie2011]

looking at getting an estate car to tow - is a merc c200 man enough for an ifor williams & a 400kg pony?

We tow a 500kg horse and Ifor 505 with a c220, never had a problem unless trying to tow up a slippy hill or through a mudbath, but then it's more of the fact it's not 4x4 as opposed to engine not powerful enough!

Rog - thanks for the link, but I am a little confused as it says 750kg braked weight but 1800kg unbraked - I thought you could tow with more with a braked trailer?

You are correct - probably a typo
