Yesterday brought home my new 2017 Sl450 in Cardinal Red Metallic and love the car after trading in my 2008 Sl550. This car has run flat tires so no tire change kit was included but today I realized there is no tow eye in the trunk. If I ever need to be towed onto a flatbed tow truck how would they load up? I am older and not too impressed with no jack or lug wrench but why did MB not include a tow eye? Calling the dealership tomorrow.....



Trade in on the right and new ride on the left...

Congrats on your new car!

There is a tow eye in the trunk. It is difficult to see at first as it is hidden underneath the lower trunk liner.

Pull the bottom trunk liner out of the car. The you see the tow eye in its mount towards the bumper.

Now go and post some more pics

Thanks for the directions! I had already pulled up the floor cover in the trunk but would have never thought to then pull up the floor liner down to the bare metal. Yes, It is there hidden in the bowels of the trunk deeper than deep!
