Vehicle data for off-road driving
Fording depth
!
The depth of water must not exceed the
value specified in the table. Note that the
possible fording depth is less in flowing water.
:Fording depth
On vehicles with the AIRMATIC package or the
Off-Road Engineering package, loads up to the
maximum permissible load have no influence on
fording capability.
Missing values were not available at the time of

Maximum gradient-climbing capabil-
ity
Note that the vehicle's gradient-climbing capa-
bility depends on the off-road conditions and the road surface conditions.
Vehicles with the ON&OFFROAD package:
the maximum gradient climbing ability is 100 %
when the LOW RANGE off-road gear is selected.
Vehicles without the ON&OFFROAD pack-
age: the maximum gradient climbing ability is
80 %.

Technical data

Accelerate carefully and make sure that the
wheels do not spin when driving on steep ter-
rain.
iIf the load on the front axle is reduced when
pulling away on a steep uphill slope, the front
wheels have a tendency to spin. 4ETS recog-
nizes this and brakes the wheels accordingly.
The rear wheel torque is increased, making it
easier to drive off.
For further information about the maximum gra-
dient climbing ability, see (
Ypage 173).
Trailer tow hitch
Mounting dimensions
!
If you have a trailer tow hitch retrofitted,
changes to the cooling system and drive train
may be necessary, depending on the vehicle
type.
If you have a trailer tow hitch retrofitted,
observe the anchorage points on the chassis
frame.

Trailer loads
Permissible trailer load, braked (at a
minimum gradient-climbing capability
of 12% from a standstill)
All models7500 lbs (3402 kg)
Maximum drawbar noseweight (the
drawbar noseweight is not included in
the trailer load)
All models600 lbs (272 kg)
The actual noseweight may not be higher than
the value which is given. The value can be found
on the trailer tow hitch or trailer identification
plates. The lowest weight applies.
The maximum permissible trailer drawbar nose-
weight is the maximum weight with which the
trailer drawbar can be loaded. Limit for
Mercedes-Benz-approved trailer couplings.
