Can a Mercedes-Benz G-Class tow
a Legend Caravans Legend Hybrid (Trackline 48V Standard)?

G300 CDI Professional (2010), checked against the manufacturer's published figures.

Close to the limits

The Legend Caravans Legend Hybrid (Trackline 48V Standard)'s published ATM of 2,800kg sits 340kg under the Mercedes-Benz G-Class's 3,140kg braked towing rating.

At a ball weight of 10% of ATM, which is an estimate rather than a published figure, the Legend Caravans Legend Hybrid (Trackline 48V Standard) would sit above the Mercedes-Benz G-Class's 140kg towball rating. Ask the manufacturer for the published ball weight.

Possible, but close to the limits

At an estimated ball weight of 280kg, which is 10% of ATM rather than a published figure, the Legend Caravans Legend Hybrid (Trackline 48V Standard) would put 140kg more on the towball than the Mercedes-Benz G-Class is rated to carry.

This is a guide off published figures, not a compliance check.The legal numbers are the compliance plates on your car and the van. Weigh the loaded rig at a public weighbridge to know for sure, then read the ticket.

The figures above are the Mercedes-Benz G-Class's and the Legend Caravans Legend Hybrid (Trackline 48V Standard)'s as their makers publish them, set against each other the same way an inspector would: loaded weight against braked towing rating, ball weight against towball rating.

Always check your compliance plate

Online databases use factory-standard specs. They don't know about your bullbar (adds weight), suspension upgrades (can change GCM), or how much you're carrying.

How to find it

Open your passenger or driver door. Look for a silver or black metal plate riveted to the pillar. This plate overrides everything you read online.

Why the numbers move once you load up

The figure most often left out of the sum is payload, which is everything you add after the vehicles leave the factory.

  • • Bullbar and winch: both add weight to the front of the car, and it comes out of your payload.
  • • Passengers: everyone in the car comes out of its payload, not just the driver.
  • • Tow ball mass: this comes out of your car's payload, not just your towing limit.

Always weigh your rig fully loaded.

Where to get it weighed, and what the ticket tells you.

This pairing is inside the published ratings, with not much room left.

Improve your stability

The published weights sit close together here. A weight distribution hitch spreads some of the towball load onto the car's front axle, which is what the ball weight takes off it.

Treat this as a guide off published figures, not a compliance check.The legal numbers are the compliance plates on your car and the van, and where we do not hold a published ball weight we estimate it at 10% of ATM.Weigh the loaded rig at a public weighbridge to know for sure, then read the ticket.

These are factory figures for a standard vehicle. A bullbar, a winch, a second battery or a full water tank all come out of what you have left to carry.
