Towing with an E55 wagon

I know this is probably in the manual, but I'm not home near my manual. I tried MBUSA but the E55 wagon manual isn't available online.

Does anyone know if the 2005 E55 wagon has any towing capacity and, if so, what it is? We're looking to get a small ski boat and I need to know if I also have to buy an SUV.

Also, we're about to move cross country and it would be really handy to be able to tow one of the other cars. The likely total would be in the 4000 pound range.

I'm guessing yes to the first and no to the second.

Thanks!

Tom

Well as you might know your wagon not yet has a tow hitch or does it?

if you plan on adding one, it is also possible through AMG, it will be able to tow 1650pounds which is I believe for unbraked trailers.
when your trailer has its own brake it will more likely be 4600pounds!!!
