Expert Answers about Mercedes-Benz


  • Recommended Blue Ox Weight Distribution System for Trailer with 470-lbs Tongue Weight
  • You generally want to have your tongue weight towards the middle of the prescribed weight range of your weight distribution hitch and your trailer tongue weight should generally be between 10% and 15% of the GVWR of the loaded trailer. For that reason, and because the Blue Ox # BXW0753 is designed for underslung couplers, it's not the best solution. Instead, I recommend using the Blue Ox SwayPro Weight Distribution w/ Sway Control - Clamp On - 6,000 lbs GTW, 550 lbs TW # BXW0550, which...

  • Do I Need Snow Chains on Both Front and Rear Wheels with a 2005 Mercedes-Benz All-Wheel Drive
  • I do not believe Mercedes-Benz does selectable 4-Wheel Drive like a pick-up truck or off-road vehicle does, but I am not sure. 4-Wheel drive systems allow you to turn off the drive power to the front wheels when not needed. This is done by a switch or knob on the dash, or a shifter on the floor along the transmission tunnel. If it does have a selectable 4-Wheel Drive, then no, you would not have to have chains on the front. Most luxury imports, Mercedes, BMW and Lexus for example, use...

  • Parts Needed to Add 7 Way Trailer Connector on 2019 Mercedes GLS450
  • It sounds like you're trying to add a 7 way connector to your 2019 Mercedes GLS450. I have a solution for you but there are no "plug and play" style connectors available for these vehicles so we'll need to cobble together some pieces to make this work- you'll need to first install a 4 way flat connector and then add in the 7 way. To start, I recommend using the Tekonsha ZCI # 119250KIT which allows you to clamp onto the wiring on your GLS450 to receive the signals you need to install...

  • Recommended Weight Distribution Hitch For A 2018 Mercedes-Benz GLE
  • With all the hitches that are confirmed for your 2018 Mercedes-Benz GLE none of then will rise the tongue weight rating when using a weight distribution system. So you will not be able to go over the 600 pound tongue weight. The Fastway e2 Weight Distribution w/ 2-Point Sway Control # FA94-00-0800 will work with tongue weight capacities between 400 pounds to 800 pounds, but will not be able to go past 600 pounds. This WDH has integrated 2-point sway control that limits side-to-side movement....

  • Parts Needed to Carry a Yakima LockNLoad on a 2021 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 2500
  • As long as you've got an existing roof rack system with crossbars then you can use the Yakima LockNLoad Platform Rack for Crossbars - Aluminum - 84" Long x 62" Wide # Y05049-39 since this comes with the hardware to mount to most factory and aftermarket crossbars. If you don't already have a roof rack then you will need to add one and the roof rack you need will depend on whether or not you've got the factory mounted tracks on the high roof. If you've got the tracks, then I recommend using...

  • Replacement Ladder Needed with Tight Return at the Top
  • I do have a solution for you but none of our other ladders have as tight of a return as the Surco Universal Exterior RV Ladder # SP502L that you referenced. Since you basically just need the Surco ladder but just a little longer I recommend using either the Surco RV Ladder Extension # SP504L which is 30-1/2" long or the Stromberg Carlson RV Ladder Extension # LA-148 which is 48" long. The Surco rests on your RV but the Stromberg Carlson rests on the ground.

  • What Bike Rack Will Fit On My 2021 Mercedes-Benz GLC
  • With the Curt Hitch # C84ER installed on your 2021 Mercedes-Benz GLC Class all three bike racks you looked into will work for your vehicle. I recommend The Thule Apex XT # TH9024XT.

  • Is There a Way to Trick Parktronic Sensors on a 2016 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter for a Bike Rack
  • I am not sure if this will have enough draw but we have testers like the Curt LED Tester # I26 which puts a small load on a 4-Way Flat connector. This is used to make sure that your wiring is working correctly but it may be enough to trick your sensors. If you have a 7-Way then I recommend using the Tow Ready # 20142 as it will simulate a draw as well. Please note that both of these products are designed to be plugged in for short periods of time and haven't been tested for prolonged...
