Expert Answers about Mercedes-Benz G-Class


  • Will the GearDeck 17 Hitch Mount Enclosed Cargo Carrier Fit a 2011 Mercedes Benz G Class
  • The GearDeck 17 trailer hitch mount enclosed cargo carrier # H00604 could be the solution you are looking for to carry cargo at the back instead of on the roof. You just need to take one important measurement. Measure from the center of the hitch pin hole on the vehicle straight back to the distance required to clear the rear bumper. If that distance is LESS than 14 inches, then you can use this carrier. (It should be!) I have included a review video of the carry for you to see the...

  • To determine if the GearDeck 17 Enclosed Cargo Carrier part # H00604 will fit your 2014 Mercedes Benz G Class you will need to take one measurement.

  • Are Extra Parts Needed to Use a Bike Rack on Curt Hitch # C13010 on 2010 Mercedes-Benz G-Class
  • The Curt Class III 2 Inch Hitch, part # C13010 will fit your 2010 Mercedes-Benz G-Class vehicle. A hitch ball is only needed if you will be towing a trailer. The hitch ball is located on a ball mount that fits into the trailer hitch. It is where the trailer coupler would connect to the trailer hitch. A hitch ball is not needed if you will only be using the hitch for a bike rack. Since you will be using the Curt hitch for non-trailer loads like a hitch bike rack, you will need to use a...

  • Recommended Easy to Use Brake Controller for a 2021 Mercedes G63
  • The easiest to use and install brake controller we currently have will be the Curt Echo # C51180.However, I do have to mention that the install will still require running some wires and connecting a few things, it will be less than is needed to wire a controller into the cab. With that being said, our 7-Way RV Upgrade Kit for Trailer Brake Controller Installation # ETBC7L will need a previously installed or existing 4 Flat to piggyback off of, but will get all the power needed to get the...

  • Can ST205/75R14 Trailer Tires be Replaced with ST205/76R15 Trailer Tires
  • You can potentially switch from ST205/75R14 tires and wheels to ST205/75R15 tires and wheels but you first need to make sure that there is enough clearance all around the existing tires for the larger size. The 14s that you have now are abut 26.3 inches tall and about 8.1 inches wide. The 205/75-15s will be about 27.1 inches tall and about 8.1 inches wide. The width is the same but the 15s will be about 0.8 inches taller which means that there needs to be clearance above the existing...

  • Recommended Gutter Mount Roof Rack and Ski Carrier for 2015 Mercedes-Benz G-Series Wagon
  • For your 2015 Mercedes-Benz G-series wagon, I recommend the Inno Roof Rack, which consists of Inno Feet for Square Crossbars - Rain Gutters # INSD and square bars # INB165. These gutter feet are 8 inches tall so they will clear your garage door. For your ski carrier, I recommend the Thule SnowPack Ski & Snowboard Carrier - 6 Skis or 4 Boards # TH7326 which will be quick and easy to install once outside your garage. I've attached a video to assist. We do not have a carrier that will...

  • Will the Thule Tram Ski and Snowboard Carrier Adapter Work with Thule Camber 2 Bike Rack
  • Yes, the Thule Tram Ski and Snowboard Carrier Adapter for Hitch Bike Racks part # TH9033 will work on the Thule Camber 2 Bike Rack part # TH9058. This is a great setup that allows you to carry both bikes in the summer and skis in the winter. The only thing else I would recommend is locks for security, the Thule Tram already has locks to secure your skis to the carrier but you'll also need the Thule Cable Lock part # TH538XT to secure the carrier to the rack and the Thule Snug Tite Hitch...

  • Cargo Carrier for Factory Hitch on 2015 Mercedes GLS 550
  • From my research it looks like the factory hitch on a 2015 Mercedes GLS 550 has a 2" receiver; if so there are some great options for a cargo carrier. I recommend the etrailer # e98874 which is 60" wide x 24" deep x 5-1/2" tall inside dimensions and a 500 lb weight capacity (though you need to make sure you do not exceed the tongue weight capacity of your hitch). The etrailer carrier can fold up when it is not being used, has a shank with a 2" rise for additional ground clearance, and is...

  • 2-inch Trailer Hitch Recommendation for 2012 Mercedes Benz G550
  • For a Class III trailer hitch that fits your 2012 Mercedes Benz G550 we have the Curt hitch part # C13010 which will fit and work well. Then for trailer wiring you'd want the ZCI Kit part # 119250KIT which installs without needing to splice into your vehicle. If you wanted to do some towing you might be interested in etrailer ball mount kit # 989900. It comes with 2 ball mounts; one with a 3/4 inch rise or 2 inch drop and one with a 2-3/4 inch rise or 4 inch drop. It also includes a 1-7/8...

  • Trailer Hitch for 2015 Mercedes Benz G Class
  • If your 2015 Mercedes Benz G-Class is a G550, we have a hitch available. The hitch is a Class III, part # C13010 which is rated to a 4000 lb towing/400 lbs tongue weight capacity. The actual capacity of the hitch could be limited by the capacity of the vehicle itself, if it's less than the capacity of the hitch. If you were needing a ball mount, I'll link you to an FAQ article that explains how to measure to determine the drop you'd nee your ball mount to have. I'll also link you to our...

  • Best Bike Rack for 2020 Mercedes-Benz G63 Easy to Use vs Lightweight
  • Using the Yakima BackSwing Swing Away Hitch Extender for Bike Racks - 2" Hitches # Y02483 with your 2020 Mercedes-Benz AMG G63 so that you can have full access to your rear doors when needed is a well-thought out strategy. Actually, the Yakima BackSwing cannot be used with the Thule Helium # TH44VR since the hitch extender only works with a solid 2" shank and the Thule Helium has an 1-1/4" shank with a 2" adapter sleeve. Keep in mind this extender is only rated for 250lbs of weight. I...

This basket can be attached to your vehicle two ways. You can attach it directly to the rails of your vehicle or you can install it to a roof rack.

  • You may be able to use the Air Lift 1000 Universal Air Spring Kit like the # AL60909 on your 2006 Mercedes-Benz G-Class. There are no custom fit options available. This will require some additional measurements to find the correct kit for your vehicle. First, unload your vehicle to make sure it's at normal ride height.

  • To install the Redarc Tow-Pro Elite # RED44FR on your 2015 Mercedes-Benz G550 you're going to need to a 4-Way wiring kit like the Tekonsha ZCI # 119250KIT as well as our Universal Installation Kit # ETBC7. The ZCI uses special clamps that sense when the different trailer light functions need to be activated and then it pulls power straight from the vehicle battery to power the trailer lights.
