Mercedes-Benz GLK-Class: Loading a trailer
- When loading the trailer, make sure that neither the permissible gross
weight of the trailer nor the gross vehicle weight are exceeded. The permissible
gross vehicle weight is indicated on the identification plate on the B-pillar
on the driver's side of the vehicle.
You can find the maximum permissible values on the type plates of your vehicle and the trailer. Always observe the lowest respective value when determining the maximum weight with which you can load the vehicle and the trailer. - The trailer drawbar load on the ball coupling must be added to the rear axle load to avoid exceeding the permissible gross axle weight. The permissible gross vehicle weight is indicated on the identification plate on the B-pillar on the driver's side of the vehicle.
Mercedes-Benz recommends loading the trailer so that the drawbar noseweight remains between 8% and 15% of the permissible gross trailer weight.
The weight of additional accessories, passengers, and cargo reduces the permissible trailer load and drawbar noseweight for your vehicle.
