New ML owner in Canada with newbie questions...

Hi,

I am picking up my 12' ML this week

I have a few questions and hopefully someone can answer them for me!

1. Does all ML in Canada equip with TPMS? I will need a set of winter rims/tires, should go with OEM?
2. I have a gas model so I am not sure if it's powerful to tow a trailer.
3. Does wheels/tires protection worth to buy? Does that cover my aftermarket winter sets?

Thanks guys!

No TPMS for Canada.
