  • Recommendations to Carry 4 Bikes on 2009 Mercedes-Benz E350 With Curt #C11701 Class I Trailer Hitch
  • The Curt Trailer Hitch # C11701 is a Class 1 meaning that it has a two bike limit. In order to carry four bikes on your 2009 Mercedes-Benz E350 you will need both a hitch mount or trunk mount bike rack plus a roof rack. For a hitch mount bike rack I recommend the Swagman Trailhead # S63360. A couple of benefits of this rack is the tilting feature that allows you access to your cargo area and it also has a 3 inch rise in the shank for more ground clearance. If you are interested in locking...

  • Which Tekonsha Trailer Wiring Kit Fits 2002 2002 Mercedes E320
  • The taillight configuration of your 2002 Mercedes E320 has separate wiring. The brake and turn signals are sent along separate wires. You don't have BT or BTT designations which refer to multiplex style wiring so the # C59496 would work well.

  • Roof Rack for 2017 Mercedes E400 Wagon to Carry 2 Pedego Bikes
  • We have roof racks that fit your 2017 Mercedes Benz E400 that have the capacity you'd want but you should consider that you'll have to lift those heavy bikes up on to the roof of your vehicle. So for that you'd want the # 298-SX6000B which has a 150 lb weight capacity. Then for a roof bike rack with a 50 lb capacity we have the Inno part # INA389 which would work great too. It holds the bikes at the wheels which means you can leave the front wheel installed.

  • Trunk Mounted Bike Rack Recommendations for 1995 Mercedes-Benz E Class Sedan
  • I checked with all of our manufacturers who provide us with trunk mount bike racks, including Yakima and Thule. Only Hollywood Racks has models that are a fit for your 1995 E Class Sedan. According to Hollywood Racks, their Expess 3 bike model, part # HRE3 would be the best fit for your vehicle. To carry women's bikes or bikes with sharply angled top tubes or step-through frames, using a frame adapter like part # HRBA-PRO is recommended. The adapter spans the distance between the seat...

  • Best Trunk Mounted Bike Rack for 2020 Mercedes-Benz E350
  • I checked and there is a trunk-mounted bike rack for your 2020 Mercedes-Benz E350, the Yakima FullBack. This is the best rack for you because of its anti-sway cradles which keep your bikes steady while on the move as well as the rack's integrated security features which protect the investments you made in both your bike and the rack. This rack is available as a 2- or 3-bike carrier: - 2-Bike Rack: Yakima FullBack 2-Bike Rack # Y02634 - 3-Bike Rack: Yakima FullBack 3-Bike Rack # Y02633 The...

  • Recommended Hitch Bike Rack to Transport Fat Bike and Hybrid Bike with 2010 Mercedes-Benz E350
  • The Curt Class I Receiver Hitch # C11001 referenced in your question is confirmed to fit your 2010 Mercedes-Benz E350 sedan. This will provide a 200 pound tongue weight capacity and will require some drilling into the bumper beam during installation. Also note that Curt requires that all non-trailer loads such as bike racks or cargo carriers be supported with stabilizing straps like # 18050. Failure to do this will void the hitch's warranty. When choosing a bike rack, you will want to...

  • 2018 Mercedes-Benz E300 Recommended Trailer Hitch and Bike Rack for 50 lb e-Bike
  • For a heavier bike like that you'll definitely need a trailer hitch, especially if you have a bad back. For a trailer hitch that fits your 2018 Mercedes-Benz E300 we have the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C11454 which is a Class I hitch with a 1-1/4" receiver so that does limit our options. For your application I recommend using the Thule EasyFold XT Bike Rack for 2 Electric Bikes # TH903202 as it fits the Class I hitch, comes with a ramp for easier loading/unloading, and it folds up like...

  • Is Curt Strap Required with Kuat NV on Curt Hitch for 2003 Mercedes E-Class
  • Curt requires the use of their stabilizer strap part # 18050 when using their hitch to carry a non-supported load like a bike rack. This applies to platform bike racks like the Kuat NV 2.0 part # NV12G as well. Even if you are well below the tongue weight capacity of the hitch if you do not use the strap you will void the warranty. The strap helps take some of the shock from bumps in the road out of what gets transferred to the hitch. You would need to route the strap around the center...

  • Hitch Recommendation for a 2011 Mercedes Benz E350 Sedan
  • For your 2011 Mercedes E350 Sedan the only hitch we have available for it is the Curt Hitch part # C11001. This hitch has a 1-1/4 inch opening like you mentioned. 2 inch hitches are typically reserved for larger vehicles like SUVs and trucks. The only solution I have for you would be to get this hitch and then also upgrade to a bike rack and cargo carrier confirmed to fit this hitch size. The most popular bike rack we carry that has been confirmed to fit this vehicle is the Swagman XTC2...

  • How to Carry Bikes on a 2012 Mercedes-Benz E-350 Coupe
  • I do have an option for you to carry bikes on your 2012 Mercedes-Benz E-350 BlueTEC but they do not make a trailer hitch receiver for the coupe models of this vehicle to my knowledge. Instead, you will want to look into getting a trunk mounted bike rack as this will be your only option besides a roof rack and roof mounted bike rack. For a trunk mounted bike rack, I recommend using the Saris Bones 2 Bike Carrier part # SA805BL. This bike rack unlike most other trunk mounted bike racks uses...

  • Bike Carrying Recommendations for 2013 Mercedes-Benz E350 Sedan
  • There are many things you can do to reduce the possibility of scratching the vehicle when using a trunk mount bike rack. Follow the rack manufacturer's installation instructions. To the letter. Before installing the rack, ensure that the surface of the vehicle that the rack will touch and the portions of the rack that touch the vehicle are completely free of dirt and grit. A heavy coat of car wax on the portions of the vehicle where the rack will touch will add further protection. Be sure...

  • Best Roof Rack Options for 2008 Mercedes Benz E350 Sedan
  • If your 2008 Mercedes-Benz E350 sedan has a naked roof without fixed mounting points, I recommend the Rhino-Rack Roof Rack part # RRVA118B-2 (crossbars),# RRRLKVA (legs), and # DK101 (fit kit). It features matte black aerodynamic bars, includes plastic lock cores, and has top channels that can take a variety of accessories. You do have the option to upgrade to all-metal locks with part # RRVA-LEC4 for extra security. If you take a close look at your roof, and find that it does have fixed...

  • Recommended Cargo Carrier And Wiring For 2010 Mercedes E350 With Class l Hitch
  • You will need to check the vehicle owner's manual or with your local dealership and find out what the tongue weight capacity is for your vehicle. Or you can check the safety/warning sticker on the hitch. Please keep in mind the hitch weight limit has to accommodate the weight of the hitch cargo carrier itself added to the weight of the loaded cargo. You need to also consider the clearance you have when you are attaching any carrier to the hitch of your vehicle. The carrier you referenced...

  • This Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver with Drawbar, part # C11701, is designed to fit all of the 2008 Mercedes-Benz E-Classes except the Sport model. So as long as yours is not a Sport E-Class this hitch would work well for you. I attached a link to the installation instructions for this product below for you to check out. It looks like some fascia tabs will get unbolted from the body, but you will not need to remove the bumper. You may also be interested in purchasing a Curt Wiring for the...

  • Carrying at Least 2 Mountain Bikes on a 2016 Mercedes Benz E400 Wagon
  • I have a couple of solutions for you that take advantage of different systems to carry at least two mountain bikes on your 2016 Mercedes E400 Wagon. Unfortunately, there is not a hitch available for your E400 at this time. Instead, I recommend a trunk or roof mounted solution for your bikes, as this provides the least invasive method of adding carriers. For the trunk, I recommend the Yakima HangOut 2, part # Y02638 . This rack has anti-sway cradles, and includes all attachments and...

  • Trailer Hitch for Bike Rack Recommendation for 2004 Mercedes Benz E320 Wagon
  • The only hitch we have for your 2004 Mercedes Benz E320 wagon is the Curt hitch part # C11820 which is a 1-1/4 inch hitch. Since using a hitch adapter to go from a 1-1/4 inch to a 2 inch cuts the capacity of the hitch by 50 percent we do not recommend the use of adapters like that. The most popular bike rack we carry that has been confirmed to fit this vehicle is the Thule Camber 2 part # TH9058. We asked our demo and install guys to name their favorite, most easy-to-use bike racks and...

  • Bike Rack Recommendation for a 2013 Mercedes E-350 Sport Sedan
  • The best solution we are going to be able to provide is a roof rack solution that wouldn't cost quite as much as the Mercedes option as we do not have any confirmed fit hitches for your vehicle. Rhino Rack makes excellent roof racks at a great price. If you have a 4-door with or without the panoramic roof and a naked roof you would need part numbers # RRVA118B-2, # RRRLKVA, and # DK214 to complete a Rhino Rack roof rack. Then for bike racks the MountainTrail part # RBC035 would be a great...
