Preparing a 2017 Mercedes-Benz GLC 300 for Towing a Travel Trailer
Your 2017 Mercedes-Benz GLC 300 is rated to tow 3,500lbs which is enough for a couple of the smaller Forest River R-pod travel trailers. Your Mercedes chassis is not recommended to be used with a weight distribution and sway hitch. For the sway control you can install the Tuson Sway Control # 335TSC-1000 to make driving your R-pod safer. The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C13290 will give you a 2" receiver to be able to tow the R-pod. It is custom fit to bolt up to your Mercedes. The...

What Wiring Kit Do I Need To Tow A U-Haul Trailer With A 2017 Mercedes-Benz GLC
Hey Megan, I can definitely help set you up with a wiring kit for your 2017 Mercedes GLC 300. Your GLC is the SUV correct? If so, I recommend the Tekonsha T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness # 118747. This will give you a 4-flat plug, which is the same plug used on the U-Haul cargo trailers. This is a standard T-harness so installation will be pretty straightforward. You will plug in behind the taillights on each side, and you will run a wire to the battery to power the converter. I am afraid...

Recommended Tire Chains For A Mercedes-Benz GLC 300 With 235/55R19 Tire Size
Hi Stan, For a 235/55R19 tire size I'd recommend the Konig Tire Chains # TH01594250. These chains can be quickly and easily installed and come with a self tensioner for faster setup. These are Class S compatible to be accommodate tight wheel clearances, but you should still refer to your owner's manual incase there's any special instructions or stipulations on snow chain usage. I've attached a short video below where Colin will walk you through the installation process.

Will the Surco Safari Rack 5.0 Rooftop Cargo Basket for Factory Rails Fit on Flush Mounted Rails
I have a solution for you, but the Surco Safari 5.0 Roof Cargo Basket for Factory Rails # SPS4560-1101 is designed for raised side rails and it appears that the 2017 Mercedes-Benz GLC 350 has flush side rails; the Surco # SPS4560-1101 is not compatible with flush side rails. If you've got factory crossbars for your GLC 350 then you'll need to use a different roof basket like the Curt Roof Mounted Cargo Basket # C18115-117, which is similarly sized to the Surco basket and designed to fit...

Recommended Electric Trailer Brake Controller For A 2018 Mercedes-Benz GLC 300

How to Reduce Tow Ball Height for Stealth Hitches Trailer Hitch on 2018 Mercedes-Benz GLC300
For your application I recommend swapping out the ball mount platform that came with the Stealth Hitches Hidden Trailer Hitch Receiver w/ Towing Kit # SH64GR for your 2018 Mercedes-Benz GLC300 for the Ball Mount # 391BMU3S which is 5" shorter than the one that you currently have and puts you within 1" of being level which is acceptable. You can either swap out your current hitch ball or use the Curt # 40038 so you can change out your ball mounts for different trailers without reinstalling...

Will Kuat Transfer Interfere With Blind Spot Monitoring on 2022 Mercedes-Benz GLC300
The Kuat Transfer V2 Bike Rack for 2 Bikes # KU84FR will likely interfere with the blind spot monitoring on your 2022 Mercedes-Benz GLC300. The same is true for any hitch mounted bike rack. The sensors are located behind the rear bumper so they will probably pick up the bikes on and off while driving making the system unreliable. There really isn't a way around it unless you want to add a roof rack and use a bike rack like the Thule UpRide # TH599000.

Trailer Hitch and Wiring Harness Recommendation for 2018 Mercedes-Benz GLC 300 Premium Package
For the 2018 Mercedes-Benz GLC 300, I'd recommend the Curt Class III, part # C13290. This hitch has a great capacity and Curt does a nice job on their powder coat finish, so the finish should prove to be durable over time. Curt lists this hitch as a confirmed fit for all models of the 2018 GLC 300, unless the vehicle is equipped with the factory hitch. Because vehicles equipped with the Premium Package have different taillight assemblies, the plug and play taillight wiring harness won't...

Will Thule Apex XT TH9025XTR Fit 2016 Mercedes-Benz With Curt Trailer Hitch C13290 Installed?
I have another option for you, but the Thule Apex XT 4 Bike Rack # TH9025XT you were looking at measures 7-1/4" from the center of the hitch pin hole to the closest edge of the bike rack, and when we had a chance to install the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # 76082 on a 2016 Mercedes Benz GLC like yours we found that from the center of the hitch pin hole to the outward edge of the bumper measured 6". You could use this one, but it is pretty close with 1-1/4 inches of clearance. Instead,...
