- Trailer Hitch for a 2015 Mercedes GLA 250 to Carry a 235 Pound Motorcycle
- There are a couple of things you will want to check first before attempting to carry the motorcycle on your 2015 Mercedes GLA 250. First, consult the vehicle owners manual to determine the tongue weight capacity of the vehicle. If it is lower than the tongue weight capacity of the hitch then you must go by the lower rating.
So let's say that the vehicle tongue weight capacity is 350 pounds just like the hitch # C13197. That means the combined weight of the carrier and the motorcycle cannot...

- Thule AeroBlade Edge roof rack # TH7601-TH7602 does fit your 2016 Mercedes GLA. You will also need fit kit # THKIT4049 to install the roof rack to the flush side rails on the vehicle roof.
To carry a bike with a through axle I recommend the Yakima HighSpeed bike carrier # Y02115. It works with 12-mm to 20-mm thru-axles or 9-mm quick-release skewers. And it will fit in the AeroBlade crossbar channels for a clean install. I have linked a video review for you.

- For your 2015 MB GLA250, I recommend the Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class III - 2" # 75223 which is a confirmed fit. It will require removing your rear bumper to install as well. The heat shield will also be removed, trimmed, then reattached.
If you will be using this trailer hitch receiver for towing or a lighted accessory, I recommend the Tekonsha ZCI Circuit Protected Vehicle Wiring Harness w/ 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector and Installation Kit # 119250KIT....

- For a 2016 Mercedes GLA we have the Draw Tite hitch part # 75223 as a confirmed fit. We don't have a fit yet for the 2017 (as of September 2016), but I am sure we will soon.
If you wanted to do some towing you might be interested in 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...

- The only size hitch we offer for your 2015 Mercedes GLA Class is the 2 inch size like the part # 75223 which is a confirmed fit.
You could use a sleeve adapter like part # HT02 with your Kuat Sherpa 2.0 part # SH12G but you may see a bit of movement on the rack.

- For your 2016 Mercedes GLA I recommend going with a Thule AeroBlade Edge roof rack in either silver, # TH7601-TH7602, or black, # TH7601B-TH7602B. Either of these roof racks attaches to the fixed mounting points on your roof using fit kit # THKIT4049 for a clean, factory look.
The bars are also aerodynamic and create less noise and wind resistance than other roof rack designs. I think you will find that the AeroBlade Edge roof racks not only maintain the beauty of your GLA but will also...

- We have just what you would need to tow a jet ski trailer with your 2016 Mercedes GLA 250. For a hitch you would want the Draw Tite part # 75223 which is a confirmed fit with more than enough capacity.
The exhaust would need to be temporarily lowered to install this hitch (this is a very common install step for hitches), but there would be no permanent modification. The heat shield would also need to be slightly modified as well. A local garage with a good reputation would have no problem...

- I pulled up the owners manual of your 2019 Mercedes Benz GLA 250 4Matic and the following sizes can have tire chains used with them but only on the front axle:
215/60R17
215/55R18
For the 17 inch wheel size the best option is the Konig Easy Fit Chains part # TH04115103. I recommend these chains highly as they offer excellent traction, will last a long time, and because they install in a matter of seconds.
For the same chain set for the 18 inch wheel size you'll want the part # TH2004735235...

- You certainly can add a hitch and wiring to your 2015 Mercedes GLA250. For a trailer hitch the most popular option is Curt hitch # C13197. This is a Class III hitch with a 2 inch receiver rated for 350 pounds tongue weight and 3,500 pounds gross trailer weight.
For wiring in order to add a 7-Way you will first have to install a 4-Way. The only harness available that does NOT require splicing into the vehicle wiring is the ZCI harness # 119250KIT. Then to add a 7-Way you will need # ETBC7....

- We have a trunk mounted bike rack that has been confirmed to fit your 2015 Mercedes GLA that has a spoiler, but the Saris Bones that you referenced is not the correct one.
Instead you would want the Hollywood Racks Over the Top part # HRF2 as it has been confirmed to fit you vehicle. I attached a review video for you to check out as well.
If you plan on carrying any womens or alternative framed bikes without horizontal top tubes you may also be interested in purchasing a Swagman Easy-Out...
