Mercedes-Benz GLB 180 d Caravan as an example

Advice with maximum weight

We do not recommend towing a caravan that is heavier than 1580 kg kg with this Mercedes-Benz.

In this advice we assume an average caravan with a weight of 1250 kg. Remember that the exact performance depends on the chosen caravan and that air resistance and dimensions have an influence.

Performance

Weight

The Mercedes-Benz GLB 180 d with a Caravan as an example with an actual weight of 1250 kg is in general a good match and suitable for all journeys on all kinds of roads.

The motor preformance of the Mercedes-Benz is in general fairly good. And also the weight of the Caravan with a User Payload (-130 kg in the caravan and 200 kg in the car including passengers), is very good.

Weight ratio: 66% (74% of kerbweight) 1250 kg 1880 kg

Payloads

The User Payload in the car (including all passengers) and in the caravan is:

Car
200 kg 50 kg 100 kg 150 kg 200 kg 250 kg 300 kg 350 kg 400 kg 450 kg 500 kg 600 kg 700 kg 800 kg

Caravan
-130 kg 50 kg 100 kg 150 kg 200 kg 250 kg 300 kg 350 kg 400 kg

A User Payload of -130 kg in the caravan is not realistic in practice.
