From what I've read, while Mercedes does give a tow rating for many of

It's not Mercedes. It's simply the law which limits the speed for
trailer towing in some countries. (e.g. 80 km/h in Switzerland, 100 km/h
in Germany ...)

Actually, it IS Mercedes and the speeds are even slower than you quote.
The ML manual I'm looking at right now says 50 mph or 80km/h even
though the legal limit for trailers here is the posted limit. That's
usually 100 or 110km/h on highways/freeways.
