If you mean 3L Merc you may just about be able to as long as the MAM hasn't been uprated. You'll have to check your rating plate and subtract the GVW from the train weight which will give you the maximum you can tow. It will be close though. :thumb:

Dont forget, the permitted weight of the trailer (or in this case the toad) is its gross weight, not what it weighs at the time.

an empty 3 ton trailer, as far as VOSA are concerned, weighs 3 tons when on tow...even though its empty.
