That has considerably more capacity than my '12 Jeep Grand Cherokee with 3.6 V6 and is the same engine family. I have no problem with a 2720 even without a WDH so you should be fine.

BTW the wheelbase is only part of the story. To me the ratio of the distance from the centerline of the rear axle to the hitch ball divided into the WB being 3:1 or better is the key.

ps if looking for a 2720SL, check my advert.

pps looking at the specs, the GLE sounds near identical to my GC which would make sense since the same chassis. For towing you would want the 4Matic.
