  • Yakima Trunk-Mount 3-Bike Racks That Fit 2008 Mercedes-Benz ML350
  • I checked with Yakima about the trunk-mounted bike racks that fit a 2008 Mercedes-Benz M-Class and found out that the only fits they have for a 3-bike rack are the Yakima HangOut 3-Bike Rack # Y02638, along with the Yakima FullBack 3-Bike Rack # Y02633. The accompanying photo is actually from Yakima and shows the FullBack on an '08 Mercedes ML350 like yours. Of these two options the FullBack is by far the best because of its cushioned padding which keeps your bikes and Mercedes safe...

  • Can I Use the Curt Echo On a Vehicle 7 Way Plug That Meets European Standards and Controls LEDs
  • The Curt Echo # C51180 is compatible with trailer LED lights and it's not going to have any issues working with your European standard 7 way trailer plug. This is a plug and play brake controller that will provide proportional braking for your trailer that uses a gyroscope to sense changes in acceleration/deceleration and apply your trailer brakes without a feed from the brake control output line on the 7way. I've linked a review and installation video of this controller for you to check...

  • Hitch Fit for 2006 Mercedes-Benz ML500
  • Unfortunately, the hitches we offer for a 2006 Mercedes-Benz ML500 aren't compatible with vehicles that have the air-ride suspension option. I wish we had better news for you. If you were needing the hitch to provide a mounting point for a bike rack, you could use a hatch mounted bike rack like the Thule Gateway 2-bike model, part # TH88VR or the 3-bike model, part # TH78VR which would be a good alternative to a hitch mounted bike rack.. I've linked to a product demonstration video featuring...

  • Can the Lamp-Out Sensor Bypass 20142 Be Used with the Curt Echo C51180
  • I have called Curt in the past and they say there should be no issue at all using the Curt Echo Mobile Trailer Brake Controller part # C51180 with the Trailer Connector Adapter w/ Lamp-Out Sensor Bypass part # 20142. The Lamp-Out Sensor Bypass only affects the stop/turn signal circuits and the Curt Echo only affects the brake output and 12 volt power circuit. The rest of the circuits are just pass-thoughs so there should not be any issues whatsoever although we have not yet tested this....

  • Solution for A-Frame Jack With Clearance Issues for Handle
  • There is a solution for you, although in regard to a manual crank A-frame jack, the handles are all going to be in front like the jack # TJA-5000S-B you referenced or will be a top wind crank. Since you have clearance issues with those jacks the best option is going to be an electric jack. This will eliminate the need for a handle and bolts onto a standard A-frame pattern. For a jack with a 5,000 lb capacity like the manual crank Bulldog you referenced, the Stromberg Carlson Electric...

  • Trailer Hitch Receiver and Wiring Harness For a Non-BlueTEC 2011 Mercedes-Benz ML350
  • For the non-BlueTEC 2011 Mercedes-Benz ML350 you will need the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # 13342. This has a different mounting bracket location than the Receiver # C13102 which fits the BlueTEC models. The Vehicle Wiring Harness Kit # C59496 will allow you to add a 4-way flat wiring connector. This is the connector used on most smaller trailers you may tow. It will also allow you to use Auxiliary Lights # C53201 with any hitch mounted accessory that impairs the view of your vehicles...

  • Trailer Hitch Fitment for 2008 Mercedes-Benz Viano Marco Polo
  • The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C13276 is designed for a 2016 - 2023 Mercedes-Benz Metris. Since your 2008 Viano Marco Polo is a bit older this hitch won't fit and our best solution is a universal-type hitch like the Stromberg Carlson Adjustable Accessory Hitch Receiver # SC45MR which is a bolt-on or weld-on installation and will fit a frame width range of 49-1/2" - 76-1/2". Unfortunately there are no custom fit hitches for your vehicle so a universal application is your best bet.

  • Will Trailer Valet Work with a Cargo Mate Trailer
  • The Trailer Valet, # STC-V211, will work on a trailer with a maximum tongue weight, or hitch weight, or 500 pounds. So if the trailer is loaded to the maximum 7,000 pounds then the tongue weight would be too high. But the empty weight of the trailer would not be a problem. The mounting brackets will fit on trailer frames up to 2-3/4 inches wide and 6 inches tall. If the tongue weight capacity and mounting bracket fits are acceptable for your trailer then you can use it.

  • Will the SportRack Vista Cargo Box Fit a 2012 Mercedes ML 350 Factory Roof Rack
  • In order to determine if the SportRack Vista cargo box, # SR7018 will fit the factory roof rack on your 2012 Mercedes ML 350 you will need to take some measurements of the crossbars. As long as the bars are under 4 inches wide the box hardware will fit around the bars. Next measure the crossbar spread which is the center to center distance between the bars. The box fits on crossbar spreads of 23-5/8 inches to 34 inches apart on center. I have linked the instructions and a video review of...

  • Recommended Trailer Hitch for a 2010 Mercedes-Benz ML350 BlueTEC
  • Currently the only trailer hitch that we have available for your 2010 Mercedes-Benz ML350 BlueTEC is the Class III Curt Trailer Hitch # C13102. This trailer hitch is rated for up to 3,500 lbs towing and 350 lbs tongue weight so you need to make sure that you don't exceed these ratings. This is still an excellent option that can be used for non-trailer applications as long as you use a support strap like part # 18050 per the Curt warranty. If you plan on doing some towing with this trailer...

  • Towing Mirror for a 2012 Mercedes-Benz ML 350
  • I do have a solution for you to use towing mirrors on your 2012 Mercedes-Benz ML 350 but unfortunately there are no custom fit options like the CIPA # CM11401 available. Instead I recommend using the K-Source Universal Towing Mirror # KS3891 which also comes in a pair as part # KS3891-2. I really like these mirrors because they fit snug on your mirrors with the clips, straps, and adjustable arms plus the mirror can be rotated horizontally or vertically depending on what you'd rather have....

  • Will An Older Hollywood Racks Bike Rack Be Able to Carry 2 E-Bikes
  • It would depend on the bike rack you have in all honesty. I checked your account and I wasn't able to find what bike rack you have, so what you're going to need to do is find out how much your bike rack can carry and compare that to the weight of your e-bikes. For instance, if you had the Hollywood Racks RV Rider Bike Rack for 2 Electric Bikes # HLY64FR you'd be bale to transport 2 80 lb e-bikes with a maximum tire width of 5", and a maximum wheelbase of 60". If you let me know what...

  • Will the Thule OutWay part # TH45JV fit a 2006 Mercedes ML350
  • I checked with Thule and the OutWay part # TH45JV that you referenced is confirmed to fit your 2006 Mercedes Benz ML350. According to their fit tips the lower arms of the carrier should rest on top of the bumper. If you plan on carrying any women's or alternative framed bikes without horizontal top tubes you may also be interested in purchasing a Swagman Easy-Out Women's and Alternative Frame Bike Adapter # 64005 to provide a horizontal top tube on your bikes to provide an attachment...

  • Will Bearing Buddies Fit on EZ Lube Trailer Axles
  • Bearing protectors such as Bearing Buddies # BB2047 cannot be used with EZ Lube axles. The issue is the zerk fittings at the ends of the spindles prohibit installation. The Bearing Buddies are not deep enough to account for the zerk fitting. Since you have EZ Lube axles you would not need this type of cap. I can recommend other options if you can tell me the hub bore diameter where the caps fit. The measurement has to be as accurate as possible so use calipers that can measure to the nearest...

  • 7-Way Balde to 4 Flat Adapter Compatible with a 2008 Mercedes M-Class GL 450
  • If your 2008 Mercedes 450 M GL model has a 7-Way connector, and your trailer uses a 4-Way flat, then the Pollak 7 Pole to 4 Pole Connector Adapter, # PK12716, will work. The unit plugs into the 7-Way socket on your vehicle and the 4-pole on the trailer plugs into the back of the adapter. We actually have many of this set up. I have included a link to them below. If you are not receiving any power or signals from your vehicle side connector, that could be the reason nothing has worked....

  • Recommended Weight Distribution System For R-Pod With 315 Lb Tongue Weight
  • When choosing a weight distribution system you wan't to find a system that is rated properly for your loaded tongue weight. You want the loaded tongue weight to fall in the center of the range that the weight distribution system spring bars are rated for. The Curt systems that you have mentioned part # C17499, part # C17500 and part # C17501 are all overrated for your tongue weight if it's 315 lbs loaded. Although the Curt systems are really great options there is not a system rated low...

  • Will Draw-Tite Hitch # 75087 Fit 2002 Mercedes-Benz M Class

I have attached a short installation video that shows this hitch being instlled on a 2003 Mercedes-Benz M-Class for your review. If you will be towing and need a wiring harness I recommend the Curt wiring kit # C59236. I have also attached a short installation video of this as well. You might also need a ball mount, such as Curt # C45010 as well as a trailer ball. For a 1-7/8 inch trailer ball, I recommend the...
