Mercedes G500 towing offshore boat?
Does anyone have any experience towing with one of these ? I'm not talkin long distance whatsoever....I know it could never do that safely. Just local and mostly to launch and retrieve. Only thing I can think of that would not be good is such a narrow trac on the G...making braking a little squirrellly.....

Towed a 32 Sunsation about 1/2 mile (inside my neighborhood) with a 2007 GL320 diesel 4Matic and it struggled/ truck sagged badly and brakes seemed way overworked even at low speeds. Same boat, GMC 2500 duramax tows it like it isn't even there.
