2007 Mercedes-Benz GL Class towing capacity
The 2007 Mercedes-Benz GL Class is published in 2 configurations with a tow rating of 7,500 lb (full-size truck and SUV territory).
The table below lists every trim of the 2007 Mercedes-Benz GL Class with the engine, drivetrain, axle ratio, horsepower, torque, GVWR, curb weight, and payload that go with that trim's headline tow rating. Manufacturers often publish more than one tow figure per truck — a conventional bumper-hitch rating, a weight-distributing rating, and a gooseneck or fifth-wheel rating — so the highest number here is the maximum across all hitch classes the source carries for the trim.
Per-trim breakdown

| GL 320 CDI Sport Utility 4D | V6, Turbo Diesel, 3.0L | 215 | 398 | — | 7,500 | — | 5,313 | — |

How to interpret the headline tow figure
Tow ratings at this level are normally achievable with a conventional Class II or Class III receiver hitch. Always verify your vehicle has the manufacturer's tow package installed if you intend to tow at the upper end of the rating, and inspect the door-jamb sticker for the actual maximum permitted on your specific configuration.
