- I do have a solution for you, however there is not a trailer hitch available that will fit your client's 2015 Mercedes-Benz ML63 that features the Active Curve System. This is simply because the components for the Active Curve System under the vehicle would interfere with any trailer hitch mounting brackets and hardware.
Since your client is simply wanting to transport his bikes, I recommend looking into a trunk-mounted bike rack, for which we have many that are confirmed to fit. I really...

- First, when choosing a bike rack, you will first need to consider the hitch size on the vehicle. You will have either a 1-1/4 inch hitch or a 2 inch hitch. The hitches we carry for the 2012 Mercedes ML350 are all 2 inch hitches, see link.

- Since your 2013 Mercedes ML350 has the spoiler at the top of the rear hatch you will need to use the Hollywood Racks Over-the-Top bike rack # HRF2. This rack has a unique design and extra arm that moves the upper straps up higher to go over the spoiler. All of the other trunk mount bike racks would end up putting stress on the spoiler which it is not rated for. The Over-the-Top bike rack is the perfect solution.

- As long as the 7-way on her 2013 MB ML350 Blue Tech has the 12 volt accessory circuit active (as well as normal trailer wiring circuits), the Tekonsha RF part # TK94FR would be all you need and would work well towing the horse trailer.
I attached an install video for this controller for you to check out as well.

- First thing you want to do is check to see if your trailer actually has brakes on it. Just because you have a 6-way doesn't necessarily mean you have them. You will want to look under the trailer at the back side of the wheel assemblies. If you see what looks like the backside of the part # 23-469 with two wires coming off of it then yes you do have trailer brakes. See picture.
If you don't have brakes all you would need is the part # A10-6034VP and you would be good to go.

- I have a solution for you, but Rola doesn't produce a fairing specifically for their roof racks. In general, Fairings are not needed with Aero bars because they are typically quieter without the fairing.
If you do want to add a fairing, I recommend the Rhino Rack 50 inch Fairing, part # RRRF4. This fits a wide variety of crossbars and your bars will fit its minimum 7/8-inch height. Additionally, it installs quickly onto the bars using a screw and clip mount, letting you customize the look...

- Since your trailer weighs more than 50 percent of the towing capacity a weight distribution system would be recommended. Since your loaded tongue weight is going to be between 500 and 750 lbs the Strait-Line System part # RP66083 would be your best option as it has a 400-800 tongue weight range and the only sway control on the market designed to fight sway before it starts.
For a 2 inch ball you would want part # A-90 and for a 2-5/16 inch ball # 19286.

view full answer... - Trailer Hitch Options For 2012 Mercedes-Benz M-Class
- For your 2012 Mercedes-Benz M-Class, I recommend the Curt # C13411. This hitch is superior with a strong powder coat paint to prevent rust and corrosion; The Draw-Tite # 76141 paint is of lesser quality. Also, the Curt hitch is made in USA, whereas the Draw-Tite is not.
You could go with either the Curt # C13411 or the Draw-Tite # 76141 as both of these hitches will work great for your vehicle. However, the Curt hitch would be the better option overall.

- Yes, the adapter part # HM47365 would work well for you based on your description of what you have. It sounds like you have a 7-way connector at the back of your 2011 Mercedes ML350 and a 4-way connector on your trailer. This adapter would convert the 7-way to a 4-way and would work well for you.
The 4-way connector is still a very widely used connector for trailer wiring. It most often used on trailers without brakes, whereas the 7-way is used on trailers with brakes.
