Towing with glb 250

I’m curious how glb 250 performs when it tows.

I’m planning to tow a travel trailer weighs about 3000lbs

Does it perform well especially when it goes up on the hill?

I’m a bit concerning since glb250 has less hp(221hp) and torque than my Sienna (266hp, 246lb-ft torque)

Please share your experience for towing if anyone has an experience.

Thank you!

Maybe check the owners manual to see if it lists what the maximum towing weight for the GLB is?

Yes, I checked the max towing weight for glb 250 is 4400lbs, but I'm wondering how GLB 250 can really perform when it tows uphill. For example, how much rpm it goes up in which gear to keep 50mph or 60mph going uphill.

I don't like the sounds from engine when it goes 4k rpm to maintain the speed 50mph~60mph when going uphill, so just want to hear how you feel when you tow with GLB 250.

My MB isn't a GLB so I don't know how a GLB feels when towing uphill. My guess would be if you don't tow any more than the MB recommended amount of 4,400 pounds, you should be OK.
