After a year I am still happy with my purchase / installation.

Very quick delivery, the only suggestion would be to include a copy of the installation instructions with the hitch

Not sure if I can update my review or not, but Ill try review interface isnt the best I found a copy of the installation instructions in the hitch itself, so all good there. Overall it was much easier to install than I thought it would be... the biggest PITA were the push pins, but once I figured them out, it all went relatively smoothly

The hitch looks great(barely noticeable when empty) and is well built. I installed it on my 2018 CLA.
The installation instructions were marginal. The required tools list does not show a E12 Torx socket which is the first tool needed. When those two bolts are removed there is no need to slide the muffler hanger out of the rubber hanger per your photo.
I refuse to believe anyone could install this hitch in 30 minutes even with power tools and prior experience. I took 3 hours. I have installed 3 different hitches on other vehicles, so I am somewhat experienced.
The bumper beam will NOT come out without removing a bolt on each side of the rear fender allowing the bumper cover to swing back a bit more. (see photo)
There is no mention of the two wiring harnesses attached to the lower fascia and bumper beam which have to be accommodated. I was able(just barely!) to replace the bumper beam AND hitch together. The two components together are heavy and unwieldy. I'd have a second set of hands if I were to do it again.

Took 3 hours to install but looks nice. A little trim of bottom fascia but no cosmetic problem.



by:

It took me while to install my hitch due to me not having the proper tools. One thing I do recommend is to removed the bumper to have more room and to remove the bumper you are going to need a long 10mm socket. Besides that the install was easy and final results are exactly what you payed for.

product is as described. Helpful personnel handling phone order with answers to questions. Shipped and arrived sooner than expected. I was very pleased with my experience.

  • Trailer Hitch for 2014 Mercedes CLA 250 to Carry Drive Viper+ Wheelchair in Silver Spring Carrier
    Sorry to hear about your husband. I will do what I can to make life easier for the both of you. I looked up the wheelchair carrier and it will work with Curt trailer hitch # C12163. It looks like it needs to bolt through a ball mount or secures to the ball mount using a hitch ball; I can't really tell from the pictures I've seen. Either way you will need ball mount # C45521. If the carrier does require a ball to mount as well then for a 2 inch ball use # A-82. If it needs a 1-7/8 inch...

  • Trailer Hitch Receiver For a 2016 Mercedes Benz CLA 250 For Carrying a Scooter
    Yes, the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C12163 is confirmed to fit your 2016 Mercedes Benz CLA 250. While the receiver is capable of supporting up to 350lbs of tongue weight you will want to verify your CLA is capable of supporting the weight of your scooter and the lift. If your lift has any Auxiliary Lights # C53201 you will also need to install a 4-Way # C59496 to power the lights.

  • Recommended Trailer Hitch and Bike Rack for 2014 Mercedes-Benz CLA 250
    For your 2014 Mercedes-Benz CLA 250, I recommend the Curt Class II Receiver Hitch # C12163. This Class II hitch is confirmed to fit your vehicle and will provide you with a 1-1/4 inch receiver opening and a tongue weight capacity of 350 pounds. Because the hitch is custom-fit for your Mercedes, you will not need to do any drilling, just keep in mind that the exhaust will need to be temporarily lowered during installation. I have attached the complete installation instructions so you can...

  • Recommended Hitch for a 2018 Mercedes B250
    No, I am sorry Ted but the Curt item # C12163 won't fit your 2018 Mercedes B250. The only hitch we have available for it is the Draw-Tite item # 75223 you referenced. If you are needing to use 1-1/4" accessories with this hitch, I recommend the Trailer Hitch Reducer 2" to 1-1/4" Trailer Hitch Receiver item # e63YR. This will allow you to use your accessories in the 2" receiver without sacrificing capacity. I have linked a couple of videos below so you can see how to get these parts set up.

  • Correct Trailer Hitch for 2014 Mercedes-Benz CLA250 All Models and How To Convert To 2
    The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver part # C12163 is correct for a 2014 Mercedes-Benz CLA250 (All Models). It is also the only available option and it offers drill-free installation with a hidden design. I have attached an install photo. The Curt hitch has a 1-1/4" receiver tube opening but there is an option to convert this to a 2" receiver tube opening with the Hitch Adapter 1-1/4" to 2" Trailer Hitch Receiver part # HTAD.The hitch pins are not included you will need these as well, part #...

  • Hitch, Wiring, and Ball Mount for 2016 Mercedes CLA250 Towing Trailer
    For your 2016 Mercedes CLA250 the Curt hitch part # C12163 is a fit and a great choice for carrying a bike rack or pop up camper. For trailer wiring you'd then want the # 119250KIT for a zero splice kit and then for a ball mount/draw bar (they are the same thing), you'd want the part # C45521 with hitch balls # 19258 for a 2 inch ball or # 19256 for 1-7/8 inch ball.

  • Will Curt Trailer Hitch Fit a 2014 Mercedes-Benz CLA-250
    We actually have photo evidence of it fitting a 2014 CLA-250 (see attached from customer review) so I don't know who you spoke to at Curt but they are wrong; the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C12163 will fit your 2014 Mercedes-Benz CLA-250 just fine!

  • Bike Rack Solution for 2015 Mercedes CLA Class to Carry Heavier Bike
    All of the trunk mounted bike rack options available have at most a 35 lb per bike capacity like the Yakima Hangout part # Y02638 that you referenced. That means that for your 2015 Mercedes CLA Class you'd have to look into a hitch mounted bike rack which while it is your only option it is a great option. Which if you have a CLA250 we have the Curt hitch part # C12163 as a confirmed fit. Then for a bike rack we have the Thule T2 # TH23JV which has a single bike weight capacity of 60 lbs...
