Obviously the US brochure is wrong then. It shows 3540lbs and that is supposed to be with a full tank of gas along with all operating fluids and standard equipment (spare tire).
The Int/Euro brochure shows a different number (1635Kg/3603lbs), but their standard is to include an extra 75KG for driver and cargo. It is still less than your weight though. My guess is that MB had to add something to the US model for safety reasons and the brochure writers didn't take that into account.
