Should it be ok to tow without electric brake? or don't even bother?
Anyone there have experience with it?

Thanks!
I've towed an SL (R230) Mercedes up through the grapevine from LA to SF with a standard flatbed trailer. You should be great, just check your brakes / tires / tire pressure before hand.

That car weighed 4300lbs + the flatbed trailer.
