What’s the Mercedes Metris’ towing capacity?
I bought a Metris a few years ago for taking my kids to soccer, but we’ve been wanting to take it on more outdoor excursions since the pandemic. I thought for sure we’d have to swap for an SUV, but my wife insists that we can tow our trailer with the Metris. Is this true? How much can the Metris actually tow?

SUVs
just yet.The Metris has a maximum towing capacity of 5,000 lbs, which is about the same as many SUVs and even some pickup trucks. And it can still take your kids and their friends to soccer practice!
