• Trailer Hitch Fit for 2008 Mercedes-Ben ML320
  The Curt # 13018 hitch you referenced only fits the Mercedes ML320 up through the 2002 model year. The rear structure of the vehicle changed between then and the 2008 model year, so the hitch unfortunately won't fit your vehicle, and it's not recommended that the hitch or vehicle be modified to make it fit. Curt does offer a hitch fit for your 2008 ML320, as long as it doesn't have the air ride suspension, you can use the # 13342 hitch.

• Trailer Hitch and Weight Distribution Recommendation For 2007 Mercedes Benz ML350
  Both hitches share the same basic design and the same capacity, but I'd personally choose the Curt # 13342 over the Draw-Tite # 75376 because I feel that Curt does a better job with their powder coat finish. To realize the full capacity of the hitch, you'll want to use a weight distribution hitch, and because travel trailers are pretty vulnerable to trailer sway caused by crosswinds and oncoming and passing traffic, I'd recommend going with a system that includes an effective sway control...
