The Mercedes-Benz GLE maximum towing capacity is 5,950-7,700 lbs. The towing power of the Mercedes-Benz GLE is powered by three available engines for you to choose from. The 350 trim level equips a 2.0L inline-4 turbo engine and can pull up to 5,950 pounds. The GLE 350 4MATIC® trim uses the same 2.0L turbo engine and can pull up to 7,700 pounds. However, the 450 4MATIC® trim option uses a 3.0L inline-6 turbo engine but has a towing ability of 7,700 lbs. Lastly, the most powerful 580 4MATIC® trim level equips a 4.0L V8 Biturbo engine and while the official towing capacity numbers haven’t been released, it could be a more powerful towing option.
