It is important to choose a ball mount with the correct rise or drop needed so you can tow your trailer level. You will want to measure your hitch height, as well as the height of your trailer's coupler. The difference between these two heights will let you know which drop or rise you will want. I have attached a help article on finding the correct ball mount.
You will also want to know the weight of the trailer you are towing. This is important to make sure you do not exceed the towing... view full answer...

Yes, the Curt Class III hitch part # C13142 would have the capacity to tow a PWC or small boat trailer.

The benefit of getting a trailer hitch is that you can use it for other things such as towing if needed, bike racks, cargo carriers, and other accessories. With a roof bag it only has one function and you will have an item on the roof that you have to load and unload which can be difficult on an SUV or taller vehicles in general. And if you do not take the necessary precautions first, a bag could scratch the paint.
With a hitch mount carrier there is some extra expense but it is the safer... view full answer...

This model features a digital display, 3 boost models and continuous diagnostics that will alert you to any potential issues. The Prodigy P2 is known for its reliability and... view full answer...
I would imagine that Mercedes puts a Class III hitch on that vehicle as the factory option. You can confirm that by measuring the INSIDE dimension of the receiver opening. If it measures 2 by 2 inches, it's a Class III. If it's 1-1/4 by 1-1/4 inches, its a Class I or II. The sticker on the hitch should tell you which.
Both the ball mounts you mentioned could be used in a Class I or II hitch, as long as the capacity of the hitch or the ball mount isn't exceeded. If you have the Class III... view full answer...
