Just to add a slight extra complication to this, as I'm looking at buying a caravan, the MAM of the trailer (MTPLM for a caravan) also has to be less than the cars UNLADEN weight. For example I looked at a caravan today that was 980kg unladen with an MTPLM of 1200kg, more than the Benz's unladen weight of 1170kg, so I can't legally tow that.
