Expert Answers about Mercedes-Benz C-Class


  • Trailer Hitch Options for a 2016 Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG
  • I did some looking around and it doesn't actually look like there is a hitch that will work with your 2016 Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG. The hitch # C11485 you're looking at is only going to work with the C300 and will not work with your C63. The only place I was able to find a hitch that is supposed to fit your vehicle was U-Haul, but I'd be wary since no one else offers a hitch.

  • Is There A Vehicle Specific Trailer Brake Plug-In Adapter For The 2007 GMC Sierra 2500HD New Body?
  • In regards to your 2007 GMC Sierra 2500HD new body, there is no plug under the dash present for the Tekonsha Prodigy P3 # 90195 to plug into, which is why there is no vehicle specific adapter available. All of the wires are already run under the dash since you mentioned you have the factory tow package, you will just need to connect the brake controller wiring to the factory wires.

  • Does the etrailer 2-in-1 Exterior Windshield and Wiper Blade Cover Have Magnets
  • The etrailer 2-in-1 Exterior Windshield and Wiper Blade Cover part # e98899 does not come with magnets, it is held in place both by the sewn in loops which wrap around the side mirrors as well as the fabric flaps which will get shut in the door jamb. It is actually pretty secure once you get both of these attachments secured. I don't think magnets would work well for a windshield cover.

  • Will a Thule Channel Mount Bike Carrier Fit Channel In OEM Mercedes Roof Rack
  • Possibly but it depends on who makes the factory roof racks for Mercedes. If I had to guess I would say it is more than likely Thule but you may want to ask a dealership or look over the roof rack closely for any indication of a manufacturer. The Thule AeroBlade bar T-Slot has an opening of 1/2 inch at the top, and the wider part at the bottom is 3/4 inches across. Compare this to the T-Slot on your Mercedes roof rack. If it is the same then you could use the Thule ProRide, # TH598004....

  • Recommended 5.30-12 Tires With Load Rating Of D
  • Moving up a higher load range will not only increase your load capacity, but will also increase the sidewall ply strength, so you will be less likely to have a blow out. I recommend the Kenda 5.30-12 Bias Trailer Tire with 12" White Wheel - 5 on 4-1/2 - Load Range D # AM30859 for your application or the galvanized wheel # AM30861. These combinations use the same tire which is rated for 1,250 lb capacity at 105 psi. You want to always run trailer tires at their max psi when inflated while...

  • How To Install The LaSalle Bristol Cable-Actuated RV Waste Valve
  • The abs cement isn't going to come loose and will require you to cut the pipe a bit further back and using a coupling # D50-2935 and more straight pipe to get back to where it originally sat for the valve. That being said, you can also just unbolt the valve from the flanges and do the same with the # 34466N4AB36GM you were looking at, swap it in, and bolt it in place with the old flanges. I've attached a video below where I did this with a double waste valve to help walk you through the...

  • Which of the Roadmaster RV Spare Carrier Should be Used on RV with Mercedes Sprinter Chassis
  • The Roadmaster Spare Tire Carrier # RM-195125 was designed for RVs that use the Mercedes Sprinter Chassis like what you have so this would be the better choice over the part # RM-195225. Unlike the other carrier the # RM-195125 is capable of folding down far enough to allow the rear doors to open.

  • Recommended Trailer Hitch For 2019 Mercedes Benz C300 Convertible
  • For your 2019 Mercedes Benz C300 Convertible I recommend the Curt trailer hitch # C11485. This will fit all models of the 2019 C300 sedan. This is your standard class 1 hitch rated for 2,000 lb towing and 200 lb tongue weight. This is the only hitch available for your vehicle at this time. Installation will require temporary removal of the rear bumper and impact structure. I have included a link to an install video below.

  • Solution for Trailer Hitch on 2015 Mercedes-Benz C300 Coupe
  • The Curt # C11485 you looked at only fits sedan models. Unfortunately, there are no custom-fit hitches for the 2015 Mercedes-Benz C300 Coupe. If you want to add a 2" hitch you will need to take the # E17 to a local fabricator and have them fashion a custom hitch for your vehicle. If you're using a bike rack like the Thule Epos # TH49XE it would require 4-way wiring # 119250KIT to power the lights. Most bike racks do not have lights which means wiring would not be necessary.

  • Recommended Solution to Carry 4 65 lb Bikes With a 2015 Mercedes-Benz C300
  • We only have one option for your 2015 Mercedes-Benz C300 coupe, and that's the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C11485. This is a class I that has a max weight capacity of 2,000 lbs, and has a max tongue weight capacity of 200 lbs. So, with your 4 fat tire bikes that weight 65 lbs each, you're going to have to go a different route because there isn't going to be any class I racks that have that capacity. I'd recommend just trailering your bikes since they are going to be quite heavy, it's...

  • Recommended Hitch and Bike Rack for a 2008 Mercedes-Benz C-300
  • We offer one custom fit trailer hitch for the 2008 Mercedes C-Class sedan models, Curt class I hitch # C11030. The recommended drawbar, part # C45521, is sold separately. Bike racks do not have vehicle-specific fits, so you will need to do some measuring to determine how much clearance you will need the rack to have before you can know for certain which ones will work best on your vehicle. Clearance is measured from the hitch pin hole to a point past the bumper. Without having the...

  • Troubleshooting the Kwikee Revolution Series RV steps on a 2014 Itasca
  • From what you describe I suggest you examine the motor and gears as it appears they are worn. The Replacement Motor for Kwikee Revolution Series Electric RV Steps, # LC380073 is the correct part number. Or, for a complete replacement of Kwikee Revolution Series RV steps, I recommend the Kwikee RV Electric Steps - Revolution Series, # LC3725791.

  • Appropriate Enclosed Carrier For Back of Solera RV
  • The 24x48-3/4 Carpod Walled Cargo Carrier w/ Lockable Lid and Cargo Bag for 2" Hitches part # M2200-01-02 may work on your Forest River Solera however the distance from the hitch pin hole to closest part of the carrier is 4" so you may not have the clearance. You will need to measure from the center of the hitch pin hole straight back to the distance required to clear the rear of your Motor Home. If that measurement is less than 4" the Carpod will clear the bumper. More than likely it will...

  • Will a Roof Rack Interfere with the Panoramic Roof on a 2015 Mercedes-Benz C300 Sedan
  • I spoke to my contact at Thule about the Thule AeroBlade Edge Roof Rack part # TH7601B-TH7602B and part # THKIT3083 which is a fit for your 2015 Mercedes-Benz C300 Sedan with the panoramic roof and fixed mounting points. They do not recommend opening your panoramic roof with the roof rack installed. This will be the case for almost all vehicles that have a sun/moon or panoramic roof due to either a chance of interference or just the shear noise that the combo will produce. We don't have...

  • Does Using Hitch Adapter with Curt Hitch # C11030 Cut Its Capacity by 50 Percent
  • When you use a hitch adapter or extender like what you mentioned with the Curt hitch part # C11030 you reduce the tongue weight capacity of the hitch by 50 percent. Best option is most likely going to be to use a bike rack that fits this hitch size directly like the Hollywood Racks Trail Rider part # HR200Z. You do not need to a stabilizer strap with this hitch though.

  • Fit of Curt # C11824 Class I Hitch on 2003 Mercedes-Benz C-Class Coupe
  • Curt has not done a test fit on the rather rare Sedan model of the 2003 Mercedes-Benz C Class. My Curt representative's build drawings did not have the exact measurement you were looking for, but the outside of the front plate to the hole center on the rear mounting flange is 29.69 inches. I've provided a diagram showing this dimension, I hope it will help you determine if the hitch will fit.

  • Will Thule Trunk Rack Damage 2017 Mercedes-benz C-Class Bumper Cover
  • The Thule Passage 2 Trunk Mounted Bike Carrier, Item # TH910XT, is a confirmed fit for your 2017 Mercedes-Benz C-Class. It will provide stability to transport two bikes and mounts to the rear of your Mercedes-Benz with six integrated straps. Because part of the mounting involves the rear bumper cover there is a possibility for it to be deformed by this or any bike carrier accessory because of the additional strain placed on it. For women's and alternative frame bikes, you will need the...

  • Bike Rack And Receiver Hitch Options For 2017 Mercedes Benz C 300
  • There is a hitch receiver available that is confirmed to fit your 2017 Mercedes Benz C 300. The Curt # C11485 will fit, however, it has a maximum tongue weight of 200lbs, max towing capacity of 2,000lbs, and is 1-1/4". There is currently not a hitch receiver available for your vehicle that is rated for 300lbs tongue weight, or one that is 2". There is an excellent bike rack available that will fit this hitch. I recommend the Thule EasyFold XT Bike Rack for 2 Electric Bikes # TH903202....
