What a load of Lemon .
Today I took 240 kg ( 528 lbs & 18 boxes) of home grown lemons to the local green grocer, an 80 km round trip. The C handled it with aplomb.Just put an extra 5 psig in the tyres. The collapsible rear seats are very convenient for this work.Photos attached.

why don't use a trailer!
We have just had 7 inches of rain on the Mid North Coast & the trailer is difficult to move on boggy ground. Also you don't achieve 5.8 l /100 km pulling a trailer !
Why not fit the OEM foldable trailer hitch?, its soo much nicer, and above all, totally invisible when not used .
I agree but the MB tow bar does not comply with Australian Towing Standards. Sad but true

Hey Carsey, it is good to see our cars are made to take whatever we throw at em...I actually opened the post thinking I was going to read how someone had picked up a lemon of a C-Class...certainly was better than expected...

That's a lot of lemon!!!!
How much did your car lowered with all those lemons?
Mine was pretty slammed after shopping at ikea with around 350lb of stuff in the car. Really love the rear folding seats!!
