Expert Answers about Mercedes-Benz GLK-Class
- Correct Trailer Hitch for a 2014 Mercedes-Benz GLK 250 BlueTEC
- The only trailer hitch available for a 2014 Mercedes-Benz GLK 250 (All Models Including BlueTEC) is the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver part # C13155 which I confirmed with Curt for you. Therefore, the Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver part # 75774 will not work. If you will be towing then you will also need a trailer wiring harness, the ZCI Circuit Protected Vehicle Wiring Harness part # 119250KIT is what I recommend because it is the only option that doesn't require splicing.
