    What's the towing capacity of a Mercedes GLC with a 100kg ball down load?
    Answered by Graham Smith · 24 May 2018

    All Mercedes vehicles are tested in Europe and issued Type Approval certificates for each regulation. The relevant Type Approval certificate for GLC states that the maximum download is 100 kg.  The masses and capacities in this certificate are used for the Australian certification to GCM, towing capacity, dimensions, etc. Without local testing facilities or engineering department, the company must use the European figures, and cannot rerate vehicles locally.

    Best towing equipment for a GLC?
    Answered by Graham Smith · 21 November 2016

    Start by asking your Mercedes-Benz dealer for their assistance. Explain to them that you want to tow a caravan and that the factory towbar is not suitable. If they cannot help seek the help of towbar companies, such as Hayman-Reece. If might be a case of modifying an existing towbar to suit.

    Range Rover Sport, Touareg or Grand Cherokee?
    Answered by Paul Gover · 17 May 2016

    You could go for a Mercedes-Benz GLC with similar features and save money. My choice — perhaps surprisingly — is the Jeep. Just make sure you find a good dealer.

    Can the GLC tow a 2 tonne boat?
    Answered by Graham Smith · 7 April 2016

    I don’t see any reason why it wouldn’t tow your boat; it has a towing rating of 2500 kg, and normally that means a towball load of 250 kg.

    Air suspension option for GLC?
    Answered by Paul Gover · 20 December 2015

    For me, the standard ride in the GLC is already very plush. Air suspension will be a little better but perhaps drive the base car before you spend the extra.

    Hyundai Bluetooth pairing
    Answered by Paul Gover · 13 December 2015

    Even Hyundai admits there are shortcomings in its Bluetooth setup so, although it works fine for you, perhaps you have not had the opportunity for a back-to-back test with 10 other vehicles including the super-impressive Mercedes-Benz GLC.
