Cruise Control and Towing

[CarreraS]

Despite the concerns of my friends in the club, the ML 350 has towed beautifully. I was cautioned about such a short wheelbase vehicle and the resultant propensity for sway issues as well as the capability of the six-cylinder engine. However, I guess MB raised the tow capacity to 7,200 lbs. a couple of years ago and they added an anti-sway application to the stability program.

Remember though, I'm pulling an open Trailex, not the "nicer than my first apartment" enclosed trailer that you have. (Once you get the flat screen and a/c, of course.) So, the tongue weight is not an issue for me.

Down to Summit with no a/c, I averaged a little over 14 MPG and going to WGI with a/c, I averaged a little over 12 MPG. On Sunday, even with the rain, it felt rock steady at 70 MPH. It's really been a pleasure to drive.
