How to Access the Rear Cargo Area of a 2016 Mercedes Metris with Bike Rack Mounted to Hitch
I have a solution for you, but, unfortunately, there is no front receiver hitch available for the 2016 Mercedes-Benz Metris. The best option for you is to change your bike rack to either a tilting or swing-away platform bike rack.

According to the owner's manual, your Metris is rated to tow up to 5000 lbs. I saw no prohibitions regarding weight distribution mentioned, but you'll want to find the ID label on the hitch.

The owner's manual mentioned a 500 lb tongue weight (the maximum amount downward force that can safely applied to the hitch) maximum, so you'll want to be sure not...

Can the Curt Trailer Hitch for a 2016 Mercedes-Benz Metris be Used with Weight Distribution
The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver part # C13276 for your 2016 Mercedes-Benz Metris is rated for use with a weight distribution system so although I do not recommend an Andersen Weight Distribution System, you can use one.
