GVM (Gross Vehicle Mass) is the most the GLS itself may weigh loaded, and the caravan's towball download counts toward it.

How we matched these to your GLS

Every caravan below is checked against the X167 GLS 63 AMG (3,500 kg braked), the highest-rated GLS we list. We compare each caravan's ATM (Aggregate Trailer Mass) and ball weight against that car's limits, using the same rules as our tow calculator.

  • Comfortable match - the van sits inside your towing limit with room for payload.
  • Close to the limit - inside your towing or ball-weight limit by less than 10%. Watch how you load it.

603 caravans a Mercedes-Benz GLS can tow

This is a guide off the makers' published figures.The legal numbers are the compliance plates on your car and the van. 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.

On a $75,000 van, the one with the higher rate pays about $5,100 more over seven years.

Different lenders will offer you different rates.

Jade's loan specialists compare offers from major banks and other lenders, and negotiate on your behalf.

Our guides to the numbers on this page.

Check your own car's figures

Published towing figures describe a factory-standard car. A bullbar, a long-range tank or suspension changes can move your real limits. Your GLS's own figures are in its owner's manual. Cars built before July 2021 also carry them on a compliance plate in the door pillar. GCM (Gross Combination Mass) is the most the loaded car and van may weigh together, and the family and the gear count towards it. Weigh the loaded rig at a public weighbridge.

Mercedes-Benz GLS towing questions

What can a Mercedes-Benz GLS tow?

The Mercedes-Benz GLS is rated to tow 3,500 kg braked. On the caravan side the figure to work from is ATM, the weight of the van fully loaded. Every van below is checked against your car's braked rating using the maker's published figures. Each one is marked a comfortable match or close to the limit.

What size caravan can a Mercedes-Benz GLS realistically tow?

Work from each caravan's ATM. The Mercedes-Benz GLS is rated to tow 3,500 kg braked. Leave real margin for water, gear and a loaded boot. A van compared at its empty weight will be heavier once you pack it. Then check the figures against the compliance plate on your own car.

Do all GLS variants tow the same weight?

Braked towing capacity is 3,500 kg across the GLS variants on this page. Confirm it against your own compliance plate, because options and accessories change the numbers.
