Mercedes GLE350 (4 cyl. Turbo)

hello,

Does anyone have the Mercedes GLE350 and tow whit it? It can tow 7 716 lb. I am looking to buy another Airstream. A 25 or 27 GLobeT. I just want to no how the engine is doing when is towing? It is just a V4 and not diesel! I was towing a 27 international whit a Grand Cherokee V6 Penstar and we were charge like a mule. We were not the first to be at the top of a mountain but we were able tho climb...The Touareg was the most STABLE and fun to tow whit my last Airstream a 30 International. So I want to stay whit the european SUV. Thanks...

The G Series is a great tow vehicle. (I’m currently 1100 miles into a trip with my ML350 BlueTec & 25’ Safari, where I stopped to have the hitch reinforced.) However, I cannot imagine a 4-cyl gas engine has the gusto to accelerate comfortably. (I trust it has enough HP to keep it moving, though.)

I’d look at the torque numbers and tow capacity. You will need to upgrade the receiver in any event as only Class 3 hitches are available for this model.

You may want to check with Andy Thompson at Can-AM RV in London ON. He likely has plenty of experience setting up similar tow vehicles.

re. V4

Thanks everyone, but I read some reviews about the v4 and for towing it is not a good think to do...

Nice to see you back Tino. You know the routine. Check with Andy on the capability of the 4cyl. Jim
