Is There a Trailer Hitch Receiver For a 2014 Mercedes-Benz B250 For Carrying a Bike Rack?
Question:
Do you have a class 1 trailer hitch that fits a 2014 Mercedes B250? Towing capacity isnt an issue, just need it for a bike rack.

I have a couple options for you as there is not an aftermarket receiver I can find for your 2014 Mercedes-Benz B250. First the simplest option is using a trunk mounted bike rack like the Thule Passage # TH910XT. This will allow you to carry 2 bikes up to 35lbs each without having to add any additional parts to your Mercedes. It attaches directly to your rear hatch door.
The other option would be to visit a fabrication shop to see if they will be able to custom weld you a receiver. We have the Weld-On Receiver # E17 which is a good starting point but they will need to determine how to create a receiver and what structure they will be able to attach it to. Then you will be able to use a bike rack like the Thule EasyFold # TH903202 for carrying your bikes.
