HMMM COOL That should make a great combination. The 292/312 series Ford should be able to handle it but as Tom said a weight distributing hitch is in order. Also these Mercs came with a weak cooling system. Your local mechanic can make some recommendations add elect fan, larger radiator core etc. If the trans is an automatic it can have an air cooled torque converter or may have cooling lines going into the radiator. If it has cooling lines a seperate transmission cooler can be installed. This might even help lighten the load on the radiator a little. Good luck and happy towing.
Mike
