Does anybody know the maximum ball weight for a 2006 Mecedes ML320CDI. I have put a deposit on one as a private sale because it is rated at 3500kg braked, and am now very worried as I have heard the ball weight is only 140kg when towing over 2260kg.
Ed, Your information is correct. ML320 Tow weight 2260Kg with a max ball weight of 225Kg. The ratings were revised in 2008 to 3500Kg with a piddling ball weightv of only 140Kg. Tow bar complinace plate must be changed to reflect the updated weights. So maximum ball weight is 225Kg up to a tow weight of 2260Kg, but if the 2260Kg is exceeded the ball weight is reduced to only 140Kg. So effectivley the tow weight is a max of 2260Kg. Cheers, ozjohn.
