ML550 towable?
Just looking at a new ML550 - really a great SUV - however, am wondering if I can flat tow this unit behind my 40' motorhome. Any experience here would be much appreciated!

Nope.
See owners manual.
See owners manual.
Mercedes-Benz recommends that the vehicle be transported with all wheels off the ground using flatbed or appropriate wheel lift/dolly equipment. This method is preferable to other types of towing.
If circumstances do not permit the recommended towing methods, the vehicle may be towed with all wheels on the ground only so far as necessary to have the vehicle moved to a safe location where the recommended towing methods can be employed. When towing the vehicle with all wheels on the ground, the vehicle may be towed only for distances up to 30 miles (50 km) and at a speed not to exceed 30 mph (50 km/h).
