I purchased the 2 inch Curt trailer hitch for my Mercedes truck. The product is well made and easy to install, I can’t wait to use it. I would one recommendation for the installation, instead of disconnecting the mufflers by the rubber grommets, just unbolt the rubber grommets from the mounts.

This hitch was a bit of a beast to put on, especially if doing it solo. Definitely have a friend on call. Ultimately, it has been fine since the install. A squeak has developed and, while I'm sure it has more to do with the car than the hitch, it wasn't there before I installed the hitch. Something with the install must have jarred something loose, which is not surprising. I used it solely for a bike rack and it has safely gotten my bike everywhere I've taken it. If it wasn't for the squeak that developed, I would be 100% satisfied. I've since purchased another hitch for my other vehicle and will continue to use etrailer in the future.

Missing hardware n mounting brackets. Took too long to get missing pát. Second shipment was still missing parts.

I installed in under an hour. Helps to have extra set of hands to help hold it while installing. Would definitely suggest buying from you all. Thanks for a great product.

2008 Mercedes-Benz 450 GL

Installed on my 2008 Mercedes 450 GL. Straight forward installation. Good directions with pictures. No modifications needed to car or rear fender skirt. FYI - Having an extra set of hands around would be helpful to hold the weight of the hitch when starting the bolts. Very happy with product and installation.

Nut plate bolts were welded on crooked and caused a nightmare trying to thread bolt onto nut(2hours wasted). Did not realize what was going on until I took off for the third time and installed bolts for a visual check off vehicle .Seeing the long bolts out of parallel when threaded into nut plate I realized what was happening. Bad quality control.
Otherwise good hitch

I received the hitch today, 2 days after ordering it, very fast shipping... In about 1 hour I had it installed on the ML-350. fits great and looks great as well... The hardest part about installing it was getting the plastic off of the ML-350, but that is not the fault of the hitch manufacture... Great hitch, great service...
Thanks Patrick...

  • Recommended Bike Carrier For 2012 Mercedes-Benz GLK350
    I called my contact at Hollywood Racks and asked about the # HRF2 and how it fits with your 2012 GLK350. They told me that the spoiler on the back of a GLK350 are not structurally sound enough for the hooks to attach to. In order for the # HRF2 to be able to fit your vehicle you would need raised side rails on the roof of the vehicle. They also told me that if you have crossbars on a roof rack they may be strong enough for the bike carrier but they have not tested this and cannot say...

  • Trailer Hitch Recommendation for a 2007 Mercedes Benz GL450
    For your 2007 Mercedes Benz GL 450 you would want the Curt Hitch part # C13102. This is the only hitch we offer that has been confirmed to fit your vehicle, but it is a Class III hitch that has a 350 lb tongue weight capacity and a 3,500 lb total trailer weight capacity. I attached an install video for you to check out as well. If you plan on doing some towing, I recommend the etrailer ball mount kit # 989900. It comes with 2 ball mounts, 2 balls, a hitch pin with clip, and a carrying...

  • 2010 Mercedes ML350 Bluetec Diesel Hitch Capacity
    The only hitch receiver available for 2010 Mercedes-Benz ML350 diesels is a class 3 hitch like the Curt item # C13102 with a 3500 lbs weight limit. The aftermarket hitch receivers do not have the same towing capacity as the OEM hitch receivers which is causing such a wide discrepancy in weight capacity. This has to do with the ML350 diesel ADBLUE tank and its placement by the spare tire. There is not enough space to attach a large enough hitch receiver that is bigger than a class 3. The...

  • Trailer Hitch Receiver and Wiring Harness For a Non-BlueTEC 2011 Mercedes-Benz ML350
    For the non-BlueTEC 2011 Mercedes-Benz ML350 you will need the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # 13342. This has a different mounting bracket location than the Receiver # C13102 which fits the BlueTEC models. The Vehicle Wiring Harness Kit # C59496 will allow you to add a 4-way flat wiring connector. This is the connector used on most smaller trailers you may tow. It will also allow you to use Auxiliary Lights # C53201 with any hitch mounted accessory that impairs the view of your vehicles...

  • Recommended Hitch for 2010 Mercedes-Benz ML350 4matic
    As long as your 2010 Mercedes Benz ML350 isn't a BlueTEC or doesn't have the air ride suspension, the Curt # 13342 is what I'd recommend. The # C13102 you'd looked at is for the 2012 GL350, and wouldn't be a fit for your ML350.

  • Lowering Exhaust on a 2008 Mercedes GL450 to Install a Trailer Hitch for a Bike Rack
    I have linked the instructions for Curt trailer hitch # C13102 for your 2008 Mercedes GL450. The first 2 steps involve lowering the exhaust. It is actually easy. You just have to remove the metal muffler hangers from the rubber hangers (4 total). On some models you would also have to remove the exhaust tips to lower the exhaust. There are screws holding on the tips that would have to be removed in order to slide off the exhaust tips. I have linked the instructions to the right. You mentioned...

  • Is Trimming of Bumper Required for CURT Trailer Hitch # C13102 on 2011 Mercedes-Benz GL 450
    I contacted our representative at CURT about installing the CURT Trailer Hitch # C13102, on your 2011 Mercedes-Benz GL450. He informed me that there should be no trimming required to install the hitch even with plastic fascia. I have attached a picture of the hitch installed on a model with the decorative aluminum fascia. You will want to compare the fascia to see if it is the same size and shape. However, if the exhaust heat shields are coming in contact with the hitch, the heat shields...

  • Everything Needed to Tow with a 2011 Mercedes Benz ML350
    First let's start with a hitch for your 2011 Mercedes Benz ML350. If you have a non BlueTec you would want the part # 13342, if you have a BlueTec you would want the part # C13102. Since you wanted to do some towing you might be interested in etrailer ball mount kit # 989900. It comes with 2 ball mounts; one with a 3/4 inch rise or 2 inch drop and one with a 2-3/4 inch rise or 4 inch drop.

  • Trailer Hitch, 7-Way Trailer Connector and Brake Controller for 2010 Mercedes-Benz GL450
    The only hitch our vendors offer for the 2010 Mercedes-Benz GL450 is the Curt # C13102, which has the 3500 lb weight capacity you mentioned. The # C13190 hitch you'd looked at isn't a fit for your vehicle, it's for a later model Mercedes GL or GLS. To install a brake controller, you'll need to start with a 4 pole trailer connector which would be provided by # C59236. For a brake controller, I really like a remote mount controller such as the Redarc Tow-Pro Liberty, part # RED24FR. The...

  • Trailer Hitch that Fits 2010 Mercedes Benz 350ML BlueTEC
    We have a hitch that fits your 2010 Mercedes Benz 350ML with BlueTEC with the Curt hitch part # C13102 but this has a towing capacity of up to 3,500 lbs unlike what you mentioned the factory hitch having. This hitch would work great to tow a trailer up to 3,500 lbs but it would not allow you to have the full towing capacity of your vehicle that I also verified is 7,200 lbs.

  • What Is The Purpose Of The Rear Support Arm On The Curt Trailer Hitch C13190 For 2013 Mercedes GL450
    The rear mounting arm of the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C13190 you were looking at for your 2013 Mercedes-Benz GL450 is designed to add extra strength and stability to the trailer hitch receiver, which is shown in its much higher ratings of 900lbs tongue weight and 7500lb trailer weight rating. I guess it is possible if you were rear ended hard enough directly on the receiver it could cause frame damaged, but that is pretty unlikely as it would first need to bend frame where your bumper...

  • Confirming Trailer Hitch Receiver Fit for 2013 Mercedes Benz GL 550
    I reached out to the manufacturer and the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C13102 rated for 3500 lbs is the confirmed fit for your 2013 GL 550. This is the correct fit from 2008 through 2013 models. The # C13190 is rated for 7500 lbs but is only a fit for 2014-2016 GL 550 models. Unfortunately with the # C13102 being the only fit for your vehicle, you will be limited to the 3500 lb max towing capacity. For your wiring harness, the only confirmed fit we have is the # 119250KIT which...

  • Trailer Hitch Needed for a 2013/2014 Mercedes-Benz GL450
    Although the VIN would help to determine the model year of your Mercedes-Benz GL450, in this case the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C13190 fits both a 2013 and a 2014 model year so determining which model year you have doesn't matter for the trailer hitch.

This trailer hitch is rated for up to 3,500 lbs towing and 350 lbs tongue weight so you need to make sure that you don't exceed these ratings.

  • Swinging Hitch Mount Bike Rack Fit On 2011 Mercedes GL450
    I would not recommend using a hitch extender with your FullSwing bike rack either. Normally an inch of clearance between the rearmost point of the rack and your vehicle is still a safe amount of space. We test fit the Yakima FullSwing # Y02465 on a 2013 Ford Escape that has 1-1/2 inches of clearance at the back. I have attached the review video on the Escape for you. There are a couple of reasons why I would not recommend using a hitch extender for your bike rack. A hitch extender won't...

  • Differences Beetween Available Trailer Hitches for 2011 Mercedes-Benz ML350 BlueTEC
    The Curt # C13102 is referred to as a round tube receiver because the hitch crosstube is tubular, instead of being constructed of square tubing like some of the other hitches available for the ML350. However, the Curt # C13102 is the only hitch offered that's compatible with the BlueTEC model. No worries, the # C13102 still uses the standard 2 inch square receiver opening.
