  • Bike Rack Solution for 2015 Mercedes CLA Class to Carry Heavier Bike
  • All of the trunk mounted bike rack options available have at most a 35 lb per bike capacity like the Yakima Hangout part # Y02638 that you referenced.

  • Trailer Hitch Receiver For a 2016 Mercedes Benz CLA 250 For Carrying a Scooter
  • Yes, the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C12163 is confirmed to fit your 2016 Mercedes Benz CLA 250. While the receiver is capable of supporting up to 350lbs of tongue weight you will want to verify your CLA is capable of supporting the weight of your scooter and the lift. If your lift has any Auxiliary Lights # C53201 you will also need to install a 4-Way # C59496 to power the lights.

  • 2018 Mercedes CLA250 Trailer Wiring Fit Recommendation for 4-Way
  • The Tekonsha trailer wiring kit part # 119250KIT that you referenced is the correct kit for your 2018 Mercedes Benz CLA250 with LED taillights. The closest vehicle to yours that we have had the chance to install this kit on is a 2014 Mercedes GL Class which I attached the install video for. While the install won't be exactly the same it will show you the overall process and how to test the wiring of the vehicle to determine which circuit is the correct one to use.

  • Trailer Hitch for 2014 Mercedes CLA 250 to Carry Drive Viper+ Wheelchair in Silver Spring Carrier
  • Sorry to hear about your husband. I will do what I can to make life easier for the both of you. I looked up the wheelchair carrier and it will work with Curt trailer hitch # C12163. It looks like it needs to bolt through a ball mount or secures to the ball mount using a hitch ball; I can't really tell from the pictures I've seen. Either way you will need ball mount # C45521. If the carrier does require a ball to mount as well then for a 2 inch ball use # A-82. If it needs a 1-7/8 inch...

  • Does Installation of Hopkins Backup Sensor part # HM60100VA Require Drilling Into Body of Vehicle
  • You would not have to drill any holes into the body of your 2014 Mercedes CLA250 to install the Hopkins Backup Sensor System part # HM60100VA. This product simply attaches to your vehicle like your current license plate does using the current holes. We've had one of these out in our test studio before and the alert is pretty loud. As long as you didn't have the music turned up too loud you should have no problem hearing the alert if it was installed in the trunk.

  • For your 2016 Mercedes CLA250 the Curt hitch part # C12163 is a fit and a great choice for carrying a bike rack or pop up camper. For trailer wiring you'd then want the # 119250KIT for a zero splice kit and then for a ball mount/draw bar (they are the same thing), you'd want the part # C45521 with hitch balls # 19258 for a 2 inch ball or # 19256 for 1-7/8 inch ball.
