A fact that is often underestimated is the BHP (brake horse power) which is measurement of how powerful an engine is.
My current towing vehicle is 150/160 bhp so is very good at towing whereas my previous towing vehicle was only 90bhp and was a total nightmare on long inclines - I'd start in fifth gear on the flat and would eventually end up in third rocking back and forward in the seat going up long inclines imaging I was on a horse trying to improve impulsion lol. I used to have to put the heater on full blast in the summer in order to control the temperature of the radiator going up one of the inclines on the motorway and I was well within my weight. Total nightmare.
I think your Mercedes would exceed 190 or 200 BHP though so imagine you would be okay on this score.
