The question
Please can you confirm if the Mercedes G 580 has capacity to pull a horse box with two horses?

Hi Ger,
The vehicle itself is certainly capable of such tasks, but the problem might be that doing so would put the combined mass of the car and towed load over 3,500kg, the maximum allowable with the standard category B driving licence. This is because the G 580 weighs nearly 3,100kg on its own.
You'd need to upgrade to a category BE licence at least.
