  • Can Kuat NV Bike Rack Install on 2020 Mercedes Benz GLC with Curt Hitch
  • The Kuat NV part # NV22G would clear your bumper based on your dimension of 4.5 inches form pin hole out to furthest point out on bumper as this has 10-1/2 inches from pin hole to nearest point of bike rack when folded down and 7 inches when folded up. This would also work with a Curt hitch # C13290 tube that has 1.5 inches from the pin hole to the end of the hitch opening as well. For a similar bike rack that is less expensive we have the stripped down version of this rack with the NV2.0...

  • Preparing a 2017 Mercedes-Benz GLC 300 for Towing a Travel Trailer
  • Your 2017 Mercedes-Benz GLC 300 is rated to tow 3,500lbs which is enough for a couple of the smaller Forest River R-pod travel trailers. Your Mercedes chassis is not recommended to be used with a weight distribution and sway hitch. For the sway control you can install the Tuson Sway Control # 335TSC-1000 to make driving your R-pod safer.

  • 2021 Mercedes GLC300 Trailer Hitch and Wiring Harness Recommendation
  • For the hitch, I'd recommend the Curt Class III, part # C84ER and for the wiring I'd recommend the Tekonsha # 119250KIT. The hitch installation is fairly involved, and requires that the bumper fascia be temporarily removed as outlined in the linked installation instructions. We don't recommend any specific installers other than our own at our facility here in Missouri, but I'd recommend having a body shop do the hitch install for you. A body shop is well versed on how to remove body panels...

  • What Hitch Bike Rack Do You Recommend for a 2021 Mercedes GLC?
  • For a bike rack that fits your 2-inch trailer hitch on your 2021 Mercedes-Benz GLC, it really depends on if you have heavier bikes, bikes with fenders, and the number of bikes that you wish to transport. If you have heavier bikes or bikes with fenders, I recommend the Hollywood Racks Sport Rider SE # HR200Z (2-bike version) and the # HR1400Z (4-bike version). the Sport Rider SE has a maximum per-bike weight capacity of 80 pounds, and the frame attachment style of the rack will allow you...

  • Can Towing Capacity of 2021 Mercedes GLC 300 be Exceeded Slightly
  • With the Stealth hitch part # SH47MR installed on your 2021 Mercedes Benz GLC 300 you would have to stick to the lowest rated component in your towing setup as your overall towing capacity. Even if it's by a little bit we cannot safely recommend exceeding your towing capacity. Stealth doesn't put Classifications on their hitches but this one lines up mostly with a Class III hitch.

  • Trailer Hitch and Wiring Harness Recommendation for 2018 Mercedes-Benz GLC 300 Premium Package
  • For the 2018 Mercedes-Benz GLC 300, I'd recommend the Curt Class III, part # C13290. This hitch has a great capacity and Curt does a nice job on their powder coat finish, so the finish should prove to be durable over time. Curt lists this hitch as a confirmed fit for all models of the 2018 GLC 300, unless the vehicle is equipped with the factory hitch. Because vehicles equipped with the Premium Package have different taillight assemblies, the plug and play taillight wiring harness won't...

  • Roof Rack Recommendation for 2018 Mercedes-Benz GLC 300 with Panoramic Sunroof
  • I recommend installing the Thule WingBar Evo roof rack for your 2018 Mercedes-Benz GLC 300 because it looks sleek, is easy to use, and it should give you enough clearance to open up your sunroof.

  • Roof Rack Options for a 2022 Mercedes-Benz GLC300 with Panoramic Roof
  • I do have an option for you but Yakima does not have any roof rack options for 2022 Mercedes-Benz GLC300 with panoramic roof.

This will allow you to open the roof with the crossbars in place as you can see in the attached photo.
