Based on all of the information I was able to find on your 2018 Ram 3500 DRW with the max tow package your truck should have a 2-1/2" trailer hitch receiver.
For a 2-1/2" receiver you will need the Curt Hitch Extension and Reducer for 2-1/2" Trailer Hitches - 24" to 34" Long # C45048 which can be used as a 34" extension of cut down to a 24" extension. This extender has a 450lb tongue weight and 4500lb trailer weight rating or 600lb tongue weight and 6000 trailer weight rating when using... view full answer...

This carrier will work with round, square, aero, elliptical, and most factory crossbars but can also be used with crossbars that have t-slots using the included t-bolts. view full answer...
Hi Brian,
You can definitely make adjustments to your weight distribution hitch to fine tune it over to the new trailer. Before making adjustments I recommend loading your trailer and measuring the tongue weight # e99044 to get an accurate measurement so you can see if you need to change the spring bars out for a different capacity. If you do I'd check with EAZ Lift for replacement spring bars to make the tongue weight. view full answer...
Any roof rack is going to add some noise, especially when on the highway. However, the best option is to go with aero bars which are typically low-profile and have reduced noise and vibration.
If your 2018 Mercedes GLE is a coupe with naked roof then I recommend going with Thule WingBar Evo Crossbars - Aluminum - Black - 53" Long - Qty 2 # TH711420 along with the necessary Feet # TH460R and Fit Kit # THKIT3152.
If your 2018 is a wagon with factory roof rails then I recommend the Rhino-Rack... view full answer...
The only confirmed trailer hitch fit we offer for a 2021 Mercedes-Benz GLE350 AMG is the Stealth Hitches Hidden Rack Receiver part # SH49MR which is for bike racks and cargo carriers or the Stealth Hitches Hidden Trailer Hitch Receiver with Towing Kit part # SH57GR which is for bike racks and cargo carriers as well but can also be used to tow. The really neat thing about this hitch system is that it is completely hidden while not in use. view full answer...
We do have the correct wheel stud for your Dexter Trailer Hub and Drum Assembly # 8-219-13UC3. This is a 9/16" bolt, and the correct replacement part is the following:

I verified with Dexter for you that # 7-132 is the correct part for this hub and drum. view full answer...
I do have an option for you though the Curt Echo Under-Dash Trailer Brake Controller part # C27JR will require splicing if you want to install it on a 2022 Mercedes-Benz GLE. Instead, I recommend the Curt Echo Wireless Trailer Brake Controller part # C51180 which will be plug-in-play. It doesn't matter if you have tow package or not, you just need a seven way trailer connector for this controller to work. view full answer...
Yes, the Konig # TH2004705255 Self-Tensioning Snow Tire Chains are the best choice for your tire size. This product will give you the best performance. This includes the "self-tensioning" feature that means you don't have to check on them as much, and the diamond pattern puts more chain on the road compared to ladder-style chains. By the way, the ladder-style chains ride much more roughly. they are speed rated to 30 mph as is your GLE.
Be sure that there is ample clearance between the... view full answer...
Thank you for your purchase from etrailer of the Tekonsha Prodigy P3 Trailer Brake Controller # 90195.
In regards to its use, the controller can be left plugged in as it will go into sleep mode after 15 minutes of not being used. You can certainly unplug it if you like, but leaving it plugged in will not drain the battery so you definitely do not have to do that if you don't like. view full answer...
Part # 8870070 is actually just the Replacement Lock Housing for Yakima BoatLocker and LockUp # Y07238 Cable Lock and not the actual cable lock.
What you need is the etrailer 10' Long Cable Lock # e98891. This cable is extremely long and will fit around your 4 bikes! view full answer...
You will need to go with a Yakima rack or a Thule rack. The Thule Rapid Podium Feet, part # TH460R, are not compatible with the Yakima JetStream crossbars. Only their accessories, Thule and Yakima, are compatible with the other's roof rack. If you prefer a Thule setup, you will need to get crossbars. You will need the following items to complete your rack:
Thule WingBar Evo Crossbars - Aluminum - Black - 53" Long - Qty 2, part # TH711420

The Thule AeroBlade Edge Roof Rack part # TH7503-TH7504 for a 2018 Mercedes-Benz GLE350 with raised side rails should not interfere with the panoramic roof. That said, this is not something roof rack manufactures test for as they don't recommend opening the roof rack with the roof rack installed due to wind noise. view full answer...
The Malone SeaWing # MPG107MD would be an inexpensive but excellent choice when paired with the Malone # MPG350 Stinger Load Assist. The carrier and load assist are meant for kayaks, but as long as your canoe weighs less than the 75 lb weight capacity of the carrier and load assist, it would work just fine for you.
The load assist mounts to the underside of the rear most cradle of the SeaWing kayak carrier. When loading, all you'd need to do is slide the load assist rearward until the... view full answer...
You have a good eye, Timon, because yes, your 2021 Mercedes GLE53 with size 315/40R21 tires is compatible and will work with the Konig K-Summit Tire Chains # TH02230K77.
Going with these chains is a really good decision because honestly there's no other chain like them for your Mercedes. They attach right over the lug nut and absolutely none of the chain goes behind your tire, which means the # TH02230K77 won't have any interference with a brake line or anything else, keeping your Mercedes... view full answer...
Hey Bernard, so there isn't going to be a roof rack solution for your 2024 Mercedes Benz GLE that will allow the roof to open so your best solution will be to take the roof off and on as needed like with the Wingbar Evo part numbers # TH711420 and # TH710401 which is a confirmed fit for your vehicle. view full answer...
The Yakima SUPDawg Stand Up Paddleboard Carrier # Y04075 that you referenced includes two carriers for lack of a better term. Or one fixture for each crossbar. What you see in the product pictures is what comes with it. view full answer...
When it comes to installing a brake controller on your 2019 Mercedes Benz GLE with a tow package, I recommend The Tekonsha Voyager Trailer Brake Controller - 1 to 4 Axles - Proportional # 39510. Since your vehicle already has the 7 pin it does have an active brake line to run to the controller, but it wont carry the signal without the controller. This controller can be mounted within a 90-degree vertical range, so you can mount it away from your knee.
With your trailer only being 5,000... view full answer...

There would be no issue with the clamps fitting the bars like you asked about. view full answer...
I do have snow tire chains that will fit the 315/40-21 tires on your 2021 Mercedes-Benz GLE. Unfortunately, we do not have any cables for this size tire. I recommend the Konig Premium Self-Tensioning Snow Tire Chains - Diamond Pattern - D Link - K-Summit XXL - Size K77,part # TH02230K77. This is a Class S compatible snow chain that is designed to fit wheels with tight tolerances. According to Mercedes-Benz you tire chains can only go on the rear wheels.
