Hitch was installed on our 2020 MB GLC AWD at local Farm & Fleet Auto shop for a reasonable price ~$[XX]. Once installed, I was very happy with the concealed appearance of the hitch and accessibility for a 1UP hitch mounted bike rack. The bike rack barely has enough reach to install without an extender as the hitch is recessed 3-5/8 inches from the bumper. I keep a hitch plug in when the bike rack is not on. After one year, including a Wisconsin winter, I have noticed a small rust spot on the interior corner of the receiver. I plan to spray with rust inhibitor paint and coat with Fluid Film to hopefully address that small issue and keep the receiver looking new.

Another year and another Wisconsin winter and the hitch receiver is in almost exactly the same condition as a year ago. I haven't gotten around to painting or applying rust inhibitor yet...but appears to be holding up well anyway.



by:

So far, this Curt Trailer Hitch receiver has worked quite well for me. It seems to be extremely durable and reliable. This was a custom fit for my Mercedes GLC300 4Matic, so it was designed to have a hidden/discreet look. It is tucked nicely under the body of the vehicle once installed. At the moment, I have only used it for attaching a rear cargo steel carrier, but future plans are to hitch other things like a small travel trailer, small 4x6 enclosed cargo trailer also.



by:

Excellent design and manufacturing. The product has performed flawlessly. The installation was bit of a challenge, but the instructions were great and and I got through it. I would recommend this product.

After a year I am still impressed with this product. No issues and it works great. I love how it does not protrude and bang your shins. Excellent design.



by:

This is my 2nd hitch from etrailer. Love it! I can't say enough about the support that etrailer gives when you buy one of their products. After I bought a new car, I bought a new hitch for my mountain bike rack. I was worried because I had never worked on a Mercedes before. But the video tutorial walked me through the entire thing (without a hitch...ha ha).

I'm submitting photos to show you my 2.5 hours of work it took (start to finish). I followed the instructions that etrailer gave, watched the video on my tablet while I was installing and everything turned out great! Just look at my pictures man! :O)

1. Use a small screwdriver to get the plastic rivets out.
2. make sure you use zip ties when reinstalling the back rubber housing so you keep cables out of the way.
3. Use ramp/blocks to bring up the back end. It's waaaaay easier when you have the room to work...and you will need it.
4. WATCH the videos. These guys do great tutorials.
5. Enjoy!



by:

Great Quality and fast service.



by:

Took me a little bit longer than I thought. Overall, not a bad process of installation and the instruction video was all I needed. Only thing I would add is that a deep 18mm socket is required for the bumper. Love the receiver hitch.

2019 Mercedes-Benz GLC-Class

Fits my wife's GLC 300 Coupe perfectly, and the how-to video was priceless! Saved me over $1k from purchasing/installing from the dealer. The bike rack is perfect with the hitch extender. We couldn't be happier with the product and instructional video.



by:

I am still thrilled with my hitch. The quality, strength and stability are superior in every way. I had it installed by my local body shop who found the website instructions very useful. I was charged a minimal amount for expert installation. The only issue I have is the interference with the backup system on my Mercedes GLC when a bike rack is inserted into the hitch but that is MB issue. The hitch as I said, is perfect!



by:

Looks great, and is exactly what I was looking for, on my Mercedes 300 GLC



by:
2018 Mercedes-Benz GLC-Class

Finally, I installed my hitch to 2018 Mercedes GLC SUV. The instructions are almost perfect with a slight adjustment for 2018 cars. It fit perfect and it was easy if you have all the tools. All you need to do raise the back wheels 4-5 inches. It's easier if you have 2 to install.

Great! I really like this hitch because it looks like an original hitch.

Mounted as described for the 2019 GLC350e, works very well.

Still works as designed and is a solid mount.

The hitch fits perfect. Now we can load up the bikes and ride. Thank you for the help making sure we had the right one for our car.

I recently sold the car that we had installed this trailer hitch on. But during the time we owned it, it performed as if it had been factory installed. Never had any issue lugging around two e-bikes of almost 60 pounds per bike. We took many long trips with confidence. Thank you etrailer.

The trailer hitch was used to attach a twister. A twister is a step which allows a dog to step into the back of a vehicle. You twist it out from under the car for the dog to use then twist it back under the car to store. The hitch has worked perfectly. I have had no problems. Cost was more than reasonable. The hitch was used on my Mercedes AMG SUV. Had I purchased the trailer hitch directly from Mercedes it would have cost me approximately $2,000.00!



by:

Great process and product!



by:

The trailer hitch fits perfectly. I have no problem with the hitch. The factory-installed 1" hitch had a welded piece attached for holding the electrical connection but the new 2" did not have one. I cut off the original metal piece, modified it, and bolted it to the new hitch.



by:

The trailer hitch fit right under vehicle and hide behind the bumper. Love the outcomes. Also the bike rack Is very easy to install and a light weight as well. Install and remove from the hitch is so easy and convenient. Love both products.



by:

I have been using my etrailer hitch and mount to pull my 19 foot Bayliner and it pulls beautifully! I had it professionally installed and am very happy with it. Etrailer was fast, easy and affordable. I highly recommend this company.



by:

Fit perfectly on my glc43 ! Amazing product strong and durable

Mercedes-Benz

Installed myself. Video instructions were very good and very helpful. Had to verify (with eTrailer) that this particular trailer hitch is compatible with the MB GLC 300 "COUPE" as the instructions (from Curt mfg. co.) contained in the box did not address "COUPE".



by:
2019 Mercedes-Benz GLC

I just received the item yesterday. I'm going to have the professional people to assemble it for me next week. So I'm unable to rate the product, but I can tell you that I was pleased with the fast delivery and easy ordering system. I'll come back and rate the trailer Hitch Receiver after I use it on my carryon trailer.



by:

I've had the hitch and wire connections for a year and I am very satisfied with the products. Everything has met or exceeded my expectations. I would recommend etrailer to anyone without reservation.



by:

Purchasing from etrailer was a great experience. Matthew K was knowledgeable and helpful and answered every question I had. He let me know when the item was mailed and when it was delivered. The service was excellent and I highly recommend them and will use them again. Mary



by:

Love how discreet this trailer hitch compared to the one UHaul had installed on my other vehicle.



by:

Easy to install, fit perfectly. No problems. I'm very happy with this Hitch. Thank again for your help always. God Bless you All.



by:
2018 Mercedes-Benz GLC-Class

This hitch called for 2 hours to install with a difficultly rating of ten. We got it done in a little more that an hour and the installation was not at all that difficult. I would give it a 6. Having a lift does make things a lot easier than laying on your back trying to do the job though.

  • Best Hitch and Bike Rack For Bumper Clearance On 2019 Mercedes-Benz GLC-Class
    The Curt Hitch part # C13290 for the 2016 - 2021 Mercedes-Benz GLC-Class GLC300 is the best option for the 2019 Mercedes GLC300. I cannot compare the Curt hitch to your previous hitch on the Mercedes GLK350 because I would need to know the year of the vehicle and brand of the hitch. The Thule T2 Pro XTR 2 Bike Platform Rack part # TH83JV will fit with the Curt hitch but it will sit very close because the bike rack measures 7" from the center of the hitch pin hole to the closest part...

  • Bike Rack, Hitch and Roof Cargo Bag Recommendation for 2017 Mercedes GLC300
    Since you said price is a factor your best option will be a hitch, hitch bike rack, and then a cargo bag that can attach to a naked roof. There's no "cheap" way to accomplish all of it, but if you go with a roof rack, a roof bike rack and cargo bag it will cost more. For a hitch the Curt part # C13290 is the best option. For a high-quality bike rack that does not break the bank the Hollywood Racks # HR200Z would be the best option. It'll be super stable for a 10-hour road trip. See test...

    For your 2018 Mercedes Benz GLC300 the best hitch option is the USA made Curt hitch part # C13290 as it has the highest capacities, the cleanest look when installed, and is priced great. For trailer wiring then the best option is the kit part # C59496 which is a custom fit. I recommend this kit the highest because it has the most reliable converter box of all the kits available.

    Installation of the Curt # C13290 does not require cutting the bumper. However, this hitch does not fit your 2018 AMG GLC63.

This receiver is for hitch mounted accessories only. If you plan on towing, you will need the # SH84GR which includes the towing kit. You could also add the towing kit later using the # SH72MR.
