Expert Answers about Mercedes-Benz M-Class


  • Tow Mirror Recommendation for 2012 Mercedes ML350 SUV
  • The K-Source universal fit towing mirror, # KS3891 would be a good choice for your 2012 Mercedes Benz ML350. It is the most popular universal towing mirror option that we carry. When properly adjusted and tightened down, the mirror should perform well. I have included a link to a video review for you. I have also included a link to all of the universal fit towing mirrors for you. Since there are no custom fit tow mirrors for your vehicle this is going to be your best option. You will...

  • Hitch Recommendation for a 2015 Mercedes-Benz ML350
  • I checked with Curt and the Curt hitch part # C13117 that you referenced has been confirmed as a fit for the 2015 Mercedes-Benz ML350 with or without BlueTEC so it should work very well for you as long as you have either of those two configurations. I am not sure what fit problems you may have had previously, but this hitch should fit your vehicle.

  • Weight Distribution System Recommendation for Cargo Patriot Car Hauler Trailer 5,200 lbs
  • Since your trailer weighs more than 50 percent of the towing capacity a weight distribution system would be recommended. Since your loaded tongue weight is going to be between 500 and 750 lbs the Strait-Line System part # RP66083 would be your best option as it has a 400-800 tongue weight range and the only sway control on the market designed to fight sway before it starts. For a 2 inch ball you would want part # A-90 and for a 2-5/16 inch ball # 19286.

  • Recommended Trailer Hitch and Wiring for 2011 Mercedes-Benz M-Class
  • We offer several 2-inch Class III hitches for your 2011 Mercedes-Benz ML350 that can be seen on the link provided. All have the same capacities and will install pretty much identically. Each includes the required mounting hardware and each one will require a little drilling. I recommend the Curt # 13342 since it is the lowest cost option. You'll need to see your dealer for the trailer wiring harness, and for a ball mount, part # C45030 is recommended. For a 1-7/8 ball, use # 19260 or #...

  • Recommended Bike Rack for 2015 Mercedes ML350
  • Actually, the Swagman XTC2 platform-style bike rack you looked at, part # S64670 would be a good choice. Platform racks are easy to load, and this rack is easy to use. The only possible reason why you might not like this particular rack is that you'll need to remove the bikes before you'd be able to access the rear hatch of your ML350. Also, if your bikes have carbon fiber frames, you wouldn't want to use a rack that holds the bikes by the frames like the XTC2 does. The shank of the bike...

  • What 7-Way Circuits Need to be Active for Prodigy RF Brake Controller TK94FR to Function
  • As long as the 7-way on her 2013 MB ML350 Blue Tech has the 12 volt accessory circuit active (as well as normal trailer wiring circuits), the Tekonsha RF part # TK94FR would be all you need and would work well towing the horse trailer. I attached an install video for this controller for you to check out as well.

  • Trailer Hitch Recommendation for Pulling PWC on 2006 Mercedes-Benz ML350
  • We offer the # 13342 from Curt for your 2006 Mercedes ML350. Since you'll be towing with the hitch, you'll also need a trailer wiring harness like # C59496, a ball mount like # 2753 and either a 1-7/8 inch ball # 19260 or a 2 inch ball # 63845. The coupler on your PWC trailer will state which size is needed. I've linked you to installation videos for the hitch and wiring which I hope you find helpful. The installation instructions are also linked. The video for the wiring install shows...

  • Flush Bar Roof Rack for 2001 Mercedes Benz ML320
  • We have a flush bar roof rack solution for your 2001 Mercedes Benz M-Class with the Rhino Rack part number # JA7978 but the Yakima you referenced is not a fit and would not work. This rack would work great with the carriers you mentioned.

  • Cargo Box Recommendation for 2015 Mercedes Benz ML-350 Hauling Extra Cargo and Folding Wheelchair
  • My personal favorite is the GearSpace 34 Enclosed Cargo Carrier for 2" Hitch - Slide Out - 34 cu ft - 300 lbs - Dark Gray # HGK819. This hitch mounted carrier features a slide-out option which would allow full access to the cargo area of your 2015 Mercedes Benz ML-350. This carrier has an interior dimensions of 63" long x 28" wide x 40" tall. Its large size is our best chance that the wheelchair will fit, comfortably. I have attached a review video for you. One important note, despite...

  • 2 inch Drop Ball Mount with 2 inch Hitch Ball Recommendation
  • When you measure the trailer you want to measure from the bottom lip of the coupler down to the ground when level. So if you measured from the inside of the ball of your coupler down to the ground most likely you'd need 2 more inches of drop than what you came up with. The Curt ball mount part # C45036 has a 2 inch drop, fits a 2 inch hitch, and comes with the ball installed already so it would be ready to go. It has a 7,500 lb capacity too.

  • Towing Capacity of 2013 Mercedes-Benz ML350
  • I took a look at the online owner's manual for your 2013 Mercedes-Benz ML350 and found that the vehicle has a 529 pound tongue weight capacity and a 6,613 pound towing weight capacity. I highly recommend verifying this information in your copy of the owner's manual, as its possible you have a slightly different model. If you do not yet have a trailer hitch installed, I recommend the Draw-Tite Class III Max Frame Receiver Hitch # 76141 (as long as you do not have the Active Curve System)....

  • Recommendation For a Weight Distribution System on a 2002 Mercedes ML320 Towing a 4,260-Lb Trailer
  • A weight distribution system is a good idea any time you are towing a trailer that is at least 50 percent of the tow vehicle weight. You will want to check the hitch on your 2002 Mercedes ML320 to make sure it will accept a weight distribution system. To choose a weight distribution system you will need a system that has a tongue weight capacity range that encompasses the trailer tongue weight loaded and ready to tow, plus the weight of any gear in the tow vehicle, behind the rear axle....

  • Trunk Mounted Bike Rack Recommendation for a 2008 Mercedes ML350 and 2004 BMW 530i
  • I checked with Thule and the Passage 2 Bike Rack part # TH910XT is confirmed to fit both your 2004 BMW 530i and your 2008 Mercedes ML350 so it should work well for you. As far as installation of the rack goes, you wouldn't need anything other than the rack to install it on either vehicle. 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 Women's and Alternative Frame Bike Adapter # 64005...

  • Recommended Brake Controller for 2003 Mercedes-Benz M Class
  • I'd recommend using a proportional type brake controller like the Tekonsha Primus, part # TK90160. A proportional controller will sense the rate that the tow vehicle is braking, and will send the proper amount of voltage to the trailer brakes so the vehicle and trailer brake at the same rate for safe, reliable and predictable braking. To install the controller, you'd need our brake controller installation kit, part # ETBC7 and a functional 4-pole trailer connector. If the vehicle doesn't...

  • How to Carry Bike(s) on a 2011 Mercedes-Benz ML350 with Air Suspension
  • I do have a way for you to carry bike(s) on your 2011 Mercedes-Benz ML350 but they do not make a trailer hitch receiver that is compatible with this vehicle due to the air ride suspension you have. Instead, I recommend taking a look at a trunk mounted bike rack like the Hollywood Racks Over-the-Top part # HRF2 for two bikes or part # HRF2-3 for three bikes. This is one of our most popular truck mounted bikes racks due to it's design that minimizes damage to the vehicle's rear spoiler and...

  • Trailer Wiring Recommendation for 2011 Mercedes ML350 Blue Tec
  • For your 2011 Mercedes ML350 Blue Tec the trailer wiring harness I would recommend is the ZCI kit part # 119250KIT which installs without requiring any splices into the vehicle wiring like all of the other options do. It uses sensors that clamp around the vehicle wiring instead so that there's not cutting or splicing. This kit is also compatible with LED trailer taillights as well.

  • Trailer Hitch and Wiring Harness Recommendation for 2006 Mercedes-Benz ML350
  • Of all the 2-inch Class III hitches we offer for your 2006 Mercedes-Benz ML350 I recommend the Curt # 13342. The installation process includes some drilling and all required hardware is included with the hitch. I have linked the written instructions as well as two helpful articles concerning hitch installation that will make the process easier. Please note none of the available hitches will fit your ML350 if it has the OEM Air Suspension System. You will also need a ball mount, hitch...

  • Trunk Mounted Bike Rack Recommendation for 2012 Mercedes Benz ML350 with Factory Spoiler
  • I have a trunk bike rack that will work perfectly for you. Check out the Hollywood Racks Over the Top part # HRF2-3 which is a confirmed fit for your 2012 Mercedes Benz ML350 with the factory spoiler. This trunk rack is designed specifically to fit vehicles with spoilers like yours and is designed to fit 3 bikes so it would easily fit your 2 bikes with room to spare. Check out the review video I attached for more info as well. If you plan on carrying any womens or alternative framed bikes...

  • Recommended Hitch for 2010 Mercedes-Benz ML350 4matic
  • As long as your 2010 Mercedes Benz ML350 isn't a BlueTEC or doesn't have the air ride suspension, the Curt # 13342 is what I'd recommend. The # C13102 you'd looked at is for the 2012 GL350, and wouldn't be a fit for your ML350.

  • Recommended Cargo Basket To Carry Spare Tire
  • The only spare tire mount we offer for a cargo basket is the Spare Tire Carrier for Yakima Roof Cargo Baskets part # Y07076 which is designed to be used with a Yakima cargo basket like the Yakima OffGrid Roof Cargo Basket part # Y07138. That's not to say you could not use another cargo basket to carry a spare tire like the Curt Roof Mounted Cargo Basket part # C18115 but you'd have to find a way to secure it to this. For a step, I like the Rightline Gear Moki Door Step part # RL100660.
