2015 Mercedes-Benz E-Class
I just had it installed and it looks great. Only thing left to do is get a trailer and jetski and see it work
by: Adam09/06/2021
I can confirm, this hitch fits 2014-16 E250 Bluetec diesel, 4-matic, sport model
Fishing of the bolts required pulling out on the bumper cover
Not a big drama
Good price, easy install

Straightforward install and fits well, doesn't protrude excessively. Good quality hitch that works great.
by: Stephen 04/08/2023
The YouTube video ETrailer posted was extremely helpful in guiding me through the installation. I’m 70 years old and was able to install it in just over 2 hours by myself. I wish I had used a step bit drill bit but stepping up from small drill bits one by one worked great.
by: Ruben 12/02/2021
We chose the right hitch receiver, bold, great design for the car we had I need it to tow my motorcycle and all time works just perfect.
Strongly recommended.

2011 Mercedes-Benz E-Class
Easy to install, Takes about an hour. Hardest part is drilling holes in your bumper beam. Other than that everything went well. Instructions provided are clear and concise. Hitch on car looks clean and hardly noticeable. Perfect for Hitch Mounted Bike Racks.

Mercedes-Benz
This is an excellent product and we are most pleased with it. We have a 2015 Mercedes E250 bluetec diesel. It is not one of the listed vehicles for this hitch. A Mercedes mechanic told me this would fit on my car and he was correct. It took him a while to complete the installation but the hitch works perfectly. Plus the installation cost was very reasonable. We use the hitch to carry our bikes. Be sure to use an extra strap to add further stability.

Great product
by: Christopher08/03/2022
Trailer works good. Easy enough install. Only issue was that hitch arrived missing a spacer required for installation. I reached out to George at etrailer multiple times. he said they don't have the spacer and need to get it from manufacturer. I waited a week without any response, checked with etrailer again, they said the manufacturer had not responded and they would check with them again. Waited another week, no response. Checked again, they said still have not heard from manufacturer. I requested an RMA to return the trailer. waited a week, no response, two weeks nothing, third week, got an email from Carole with an RMA number. By this time I had already contacted Curt Manufacturing myself, and requested the part, received it, and installed the hitch, or I would have certainly returned it.
Customer support at etrailer is extremely lacking.

2013 Mercedes-Benz E-Class
It’s a great product. It fits perfectly on my Mercedes Benz E class sedan 2013. Very easy to install. I highly recommend a good power drill. Also, when is time to install the metal plate in the back (4 bolts and washers- step 1-2) start with the 2 bottom ones instead the 2 top ones as you see in the instructions. It’s easier that way. The rest is completely easy. I’ll use this hitch to hang up my 2 bike rack “Yaki....”
I want to ad that the seller was always in contact with me which I think is great. Also, the delivery was on time and the package was perfectly wrapped and protected by a big box.
by: Mark 04/03/2020
Great quality. Good design good fit even though the hitch was not long enough to fit in the center of the square bumper and my e250 diesel model doesn’t have cutouts to fish wire the bulk and washer through; I had to drill completely through both walls of the bumper tube and buy longer bolts from Home Depot to make this install compete. Through bolts are a stronger and better I stall anyway.
Good compamy good service
by: Tom06/10/2019
Chevrolet Cobalt
It actually was a perfect fit. The difficult part was drilling the two 17/32 holes. I would recommend that you provide some advice on how to drill those holes in a Mercedes E350 bumper. I tried hi-speed cobalt bits and even a masonry bit. In the end, I had to use my oxyactylene torch to burn those holes and then clean them up with the cobalt bit.

See what our Experts say about this CURT Trailer Hitch
- Does Long Bar on Curt Trailer Hitch # C11001 Need to be Attached Yes, it is necessary to mount the bar extending behind the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C11001 on your 2014 Mercedes-Benz E350 even though you only plan to use the hitch for accessories like a bike rack. This bracket is required to maintain the capacities of the hitch and leaving this part unattached will essentially reduce its rating to an unknown number which could lead to failure during travel. Curt has determined that mounting just the two bolts at the top of the main hitch plate...
view full answer... - Bike Carrying Recommendations for 2013 Mercedes-Benz E350 SedanThere are many things you can do to reduce the possibility of scratching the vehicle when using a trunk mount bike rack. Follow the rack manufacturer's installation instructions. To the letter. Before installing the rack, ensure that the surface of the vehicle that the rack will touch and the portions of the rack that touch the vehicle are completely free of dirt and grit. A heavy coat of car wax on the portions of the vehicle where the rack will touch will add further protection. Be sure...
view full answer... - Where Does Drilling Take Place to Install Curt Hitch C11001I attached a picture that I took from the install instructions for the Curt hitch part # C11001 that you referenced that covers the section on drilling the frame. Press hitch against the bottom of the bumper beam, using the hitch as a template mark hole locations with a center punch. Lower hitch and drill hole locations with 17/32" drill bit.

- Can You Carry 3 Bikes On a 2012 Mercedes-Benz E350 SedanThe only trailer hitch option available for a 2012 Mercedes-Benz E350 is class I, the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver part # C11001. Therefore, the max number of bikes you can carry on the rear is two with a rack like the Thule Camber 2 Bike Rack part # TH9058. If you need to carry more bikes you will need to place them on the roof with a roof rack of which some options are attached below.

view full answer... - What Bike Rack Do You Recommend for a Turbo Vado 4.0 SL EQ on My 2014 Mercedes-Benz E-Class Sedan?A great bike rack for the Turbo Vado 4.0 EQ is the Thule EasyFold XT Bike Rack for 2 Electric Bikes item # TH903202. The EasyFold XT includes an integrated ramp that will help you load the bike onto the rack without lifting the bike off the ground. Another great reason to choose the EasyFold XT is that the rack secures your bike by the frame instead of by the wheels. I strongly recommend this kind of frame-mount for bikes with fenders instead of a wheel-mount system in order to avoid cracks...
