Towing

You show the Mercedes GLC having a braked towing limit of 2000 kg, but they have put a maximum tow ball down load of 100 kg on it, which renders the towing capacity useless, as there aren’t any vans that are less than 100 kg. Mercedes won’t explain or advise why the limit is at five per cent of the towing capacity instead of 10 per cent like most manufacturers. Are you able to shed any light on why they have set the ridiculous limit, which barely allows you to tow a 6x4 with a load of dirt.

My wife would like a newer SUV and she has her heart set on a 2014 Volkswagen Touareg. I am concerned about the lack of them on the road, and they look a little old. I made a suggestion to look at a BMW X5 as it may have better quality features and reliability. My favourite would be a Toyota Prado GXL or Altitude built to last and better fuel economy. We have a 2200 kg boat to tow on holidays occasionally as well. What would your suggestion be?
