Expert Answers about Mercedes-Benz M-Class


  • Trailer Hitch Receiver For 2012 Mercedes-Benz ML350
  • We have trailer hitch fits for a 2012 Mercedes-Benz ML350 (excluding if you have the Active Curve System), but the part number you mentioned is OEM and we don't carry OEM parts. It doesn't look like that part is even available anymore but for an aftermarket hitch use the following: - Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C13411 Just keep in mind this won't fit if you have the Active Curve System or a diesel engine.

  • Will Rearc Tow-Pro Elite Brake Controller Fit 2015 Mercedes-Benz ML63 With Factory Tow Package
  • The Redarc Tow-Pro Elite Brake Controller # RED44FR will fit your 2015 Mercedes-Benz ML63. As long as you have a 7-way you can use any brake controller. The reason it is listed this way is because there is currently no custom wiring harness for a plug and play installation. You will need to splice this into your existing wiring to install it on the vehicle.

  • How to Determine if the Thule Adventurer 650 Cargo Box Will Fit a 2008 Mercedes ML350
  • For the Thule Adventurer 650 to fit the crossbars on your 2008 Mercedes ML350 can be no wider than 3-1/2 inches. You will need to line up the mounting areas on the box over the crossbars on the vehicle. My contact at Thule stated that drilling new holes is permissible if necessary to match the bar spread.

  • Will K Source Universal Fit Towing Mirror Fit a 2002 Mercedes ML500
  • The K Source towing mirror # KS3891 is a universal fit item and because of that you have to go by the design of the factory mirror to determine fit. This towing mirror will clamp onto factory mirrors that have a gap or lip between the glass and housing. It fits much better on mirrors that have a flat back rather than a rounded housing though they can fit on both. With any time of universal fit item, you can expect some vibration but if installed correctly it should not come off or damage...

  • Recommended Hitch for 2012 Mercedes-Benz ML350
  • We do have a hitch that fits the 2012 Mercedes-Benz ML350 BlueTEC, unless it has the Active Curve anti-rollover system. If your vehicle doesn't have that system, you'd use the Draw-Tite # 76141. If it does have the Active Curve system, unfortunately we don't have a compatible hitch. If you'll be using the hitch for towing, you'll also need a wiring harness like part # 119250KIT, a ball mount like part # D-28, a # PC3 hitch pin and either # 19260 for a 1-7/8 or # 63845 for a 2 inch hitch...

  • Fit of Thule OutWay Trunk Mount Bike Rack # TH45JV on 2014 Mercedes ML 350
  • Although the 2014 Mercedes ML350 has a spoiler located at the top of the hatch lid, Thule has tested the fit of the OutWay # TH45JV on the 2014 ML350, and has found that the spoiler is plenty strong enough to support the top connecting cables without being damaged. The OutWay is incredibly easy to install and remove, using 2 retracting cables instead of the 6 straps used by other racks. To carry women's bikes or bikes with sharply angled top tubes or step-through frames, using a frame...

  • Wiring Adapter for Tekonsha PowerTrac Brake Controller on 1998 Mercedes-Benz ML320
  • The correct wiring adapter for your 1998 Mercedes-Benz ML320 with Tekonsha PowerTrac Electronic Brake Controller # 39523 is the Brake Control Plug-In Harness # 20127. Please keep in mind this will plug into the brake controller but will still require a hardwire to the brake controller wiring on your Mercedes. I have added links to a couple help articles on brake controllers as well, which I highly recommend taking a look at.

  • Comparing the Yakima HoldUp and Yakima HoldUp EVO
  • The differences between the Yakima HoldUp # Y02443-2 and the HoldUp EVO # Y02479-2 include an integrated SpeedKnob to take out movement of the bike rack, an easier system for tilting the bike rack, and the ability to add fat bike tires (up to 5" wide). Aside from that these bike racks are pretty identical in their designs. If you have fat tire bikes and/or would like the tool-free SpeedKnob then the EVO is the way to go. Otherwise the easier tilting handle as opposed to the pin isn't...

  • Recommended Crossbars for 2013 Mercedes-Benz ML350 with Thule Hullavator Compatibility
  • The Thule Hullavator Pro Kayak Carrier and Lift Assist with Tie-Downs - Side Loading # TH898 is not compatible with your current bars. The crossbars need to have between 4 and 8 inches of overhang for the Hullavator so you have clearance on the side of your vehicle for use. My recommendation is to use the Malone AirFlow2 Roof Rack - Aero Crossbars - Raised, Factory Side Rails - Aluminum - 58" Long # MPG216 with your 2013 Mercedes-Benz M-Class when you want to carry a kayak using the...

  • Trailer Hitch and Wiring for a 2015 Mercedes GLE 350
  • From what I could find the 2015 Mercedes GLE 350 is still on the same platform as the 2015 ML-Class so the hitches for the ML, such as # C13117, will fit your GLE. If you plan on doing some towing I recommend 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. It also includes a 1-7/8 inch ball, 2 inch ball, hitch pin with clip, and a storage bag. If the ball mount kit does not have the right...

  • WiCurt Trailer Hitch, # 13342, Fit On 2010 Mercedes ML350 And What Wiring Harness Is Used
  • Yes, I do have the installation instructions for the Curt Trailer Hitch, # 13342, for the 2010 Mercedes ML350. I am sending a link to the instructions. This hitch will not fit a 2010 Mercedes ML350 with the air suspension package. The car dealer will have to do the trailer wiring harness. Mercedes does not allow any company to make a wiring harness for the M-Class vehicles. If you are towing with the hitch you will also need the Curt Ball Mount, # C45010, Pin and Clip, # PC3, and the...

  • Aftermarket Trailer Towing Equipment vs. OEM Tow Package for 2012 Mercedes-Benz ML350
  • The reasons towing equipment can cost so much more from an auto dealership are that sometimes these OEM packages do offer some cosmetic benefits, e.g. the dealer-installed hitch (that can cost up to several multiples of the cost of aftermarket hitches we sell) may require fewer cosmetic alterations to the rear bumper cover; and also of course, because a costly tow package that can be financed along with the cost of the vehicle does not appear such a bad deal when one is already ponying...

  • Towing Mirror for a 2012 Mercedes-Benz ML 350
  • I do have a solution for you to use towing mirrors on your 2012 Mercedes-Benz ML 350 but unfortunately there are no custom fit options like the CIPA # CM11401 available. Instead I recommend using the K-Source Universal Towing Mirror # KS3891 which also comes in a pair as part # KS3891-2. I really like these mirrors because they fit snug on your mirrors with the clips, straps, and adjustable arms plus the mirror can be rotated horizontally or vertically depending on what you'd rather have....

  • Will the Curt Custom Fit Vehicle Wiring Harness Fit my 2010 Mercedes-Benz ML350
  • Hello! No Curt trailer wiring harnesses have been confirmed or tested to fit a 2010 Mercedes-Benz ML350 so we can not guarantee that it will work for you. The best option that I have is the Tekonsha ZCI Circuit Protected Vehicle Wiring Harness with Install Kit, # 119250KIT. This wiring harness is compatible with numerous different electrical systems and can handle LED, low voltage, multiplex, Pulse Width Modulation, and two wire or three wire setups and may work for you. Since there...

  • Does Hollywood Racks Adapter Bar Have Weight Rating for Holding RadCity E-Bike on Allen Rack
  • Adapter bars like the Hollywood Racks # HRBA-PRO actually don't have a weight rating because they can handle the weight of any bike that is compatible with a hanging-style bike rack. With that being said, your 60 lb RadCity E-Bike is going to be way too heavy for your Allen Deluxe bike rack. Even though that rack has a 140 lb rating, it actually means the 140 lbs need to be distributed between all 4 mounting positions so you're actually looking at 35 lbs per bike. This is even the case...
