Default Towing boat?

Hey,
I was thinking of buying a used c280 too tow my 1000 pound boat and trailer. Could the C280 handle that? Its engine is just about the same size as my current tow vehicle.
Thanks,
Ben

Default Towing boat?

Any recommendations as to where to buy a hitch for our C Class? I have a 2005 Sport Sedan and would really like to add a hitch to the car to attach my bike rack to...

Look in the Yellow Pages under Trailer Hitches. There are a bunch of stores in every city that install hitches.

Or, you could ask the bicycle shop where you bought the rack for a recommended installer.
