- Recommended Hitch Extender For 2018 Ram 3500 DRW With Max Tow Package
- 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...

- 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...

- To help stabilize/reduce rattle with your e-bike rack on your 2022 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter, I recommend the etrailer Anti-Rattle Hitch Stabilizer # e99007.
The etrailer Anti-Rattle Hitch Stabilizer # e99007 will help reduce movement, side-to-side and up-and-down. It also has a steel construction with a vinyl coating, so it is heavy duty like you are wanting.
I have included a review video that demonstrates how well this anti-rattle, hitch stabilizer works.

view full answer... - Quiet Roof Rack Options For 2018 Mercedes GLE 300
- 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... - Can Brake Controller Power Wire Circuit Amperage of 2018 Mercedes Benz GLS be Increased
- To increase the amperage rating of the brake controller power circuit of your 2018 Mercedes GLS for the # C51170 you'll have to bypass the vehicle wiring by running 10 gauge wire like part # 10-1-1 (sold by foot) from the black wire of the controller directly to the vehicle battery. 15 amps really isn't enough for any brake controller to activate trailer brakes.

- I do have options for you but there are no plug-in trailer wiring harnesses for a 2008 Mercedes-Benz GL450 unfortunately. The only way to install a trailer wiring harness would be to splice into the taillight circuits with the Hopkins Active Tail Light Converter with Install Kit part # 46255 and then add the Adapter 4-Pole to 7-Pole and 4-Pole part # 37185 if you need a 7-way.
view full answer... - Adjustable Ball Mount for 2013 Mercedes Sprinter that Has Longer Length
- The Curt Multi-Ball Adjustable Ball Mount for 2" Trailer Hitches # D900 that you referenced would be a great solution for what you are looking for. This is a longer ball mount as it has 15 inches from the center of it's hitch pin hole to the center of the hitch ball and would not limit weight capacity like a hitch extender would. It is also adjustable in height and has all three hitch ball sizes.

- If the travel trailer with a 7-way does not have brakes the easy solution is the # 37185 which would plug right into your current 4-way and all of the lighting circuits would be active. If instead you did have trailer brakes you'd want to use the # ETBC7 which comes with brake controller wiring needed as well as the same adapter of the # 37185.
The 7-way kit part # TK22115 which is custom fit for you vehicle essentially is the same setup as a 4-way like you have converted to a 7-way with...

- For a great bike rack that provides you the weight capacity you need on your 2018 Mercedes Sprinter 3500, I recommend the Hollywood Racks Sport Rider SE Bike Rack for 2 Electric Bikes - 2" Hitches # HLY84FR. the Sport Rider SE provides you with a massive 80-pound per-bike weight capacity. The cradles on the rack accommodate bike tires up to 5 inches wide. It comes equipped with locks that protect both your bikes and the rack itself. If you happen to have women's bikes, children's bikes,...

- 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.
view full answer... - Solution for Front Mount Hitch on 2007 Dodge Sprinter 2500
- I do have a solution, but there are no custom fit options available for your 2007 Dodge Sprinter 2500. What you can use is a universal hitch like the Curt # C47CR. This is a Class V weld-on hitch so we recommend taking it to a certified welder for installation. The hitch has a 2" receiver, a 9" drop, and fits vehicle frames 18-44" wide. If you need taller brackets the # C99CR is also available with an 18" drop.

- I have the perfect solution for you with the Yakima JetStream roof rack:
70" JetStream Crossbars - # Y00427
SkyLine Towers - # Y53TR
Landing Pad 1 - # Y00221
Lock Core Kit - # Y07204 (optional)
This is designed to fit flush rails with a track like what you have on your 2022 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 2500 so that you can slide the crossbars front and back depending on what you'll be carrying. I really like this rack system because it has some fined-tuned steps that give you the best fit possible,...

- The brands Fusion and Furrion are not the same, but as long as your camera setup uses RCA wires/plugs (the standard yellow, red, and white plugs) the switcher part # CSW3.
view full answer... - Snow Cable/Chains Recommendations for a 2005 Mercedes S55 with 265/40R18 Tires
- The first thing you need to do is check the owners manual of your Mercedes S55 2005 to determine if there are any restrictions on snow chain/cable usage.
The Glacier Cable Snow Tire Chains # PW1042 you referenced are confirmed to fit your tire size.
What I think would be your best overall option would be the part # TC1553 though as it is a chain that will provide much superior traction, will install easier, and will last longer. Cables don't usually work well past the first time they are used.
view full answer... - Recommendation for Allowing Mercedes to Tow a Trailer with LEDs without Bulb Out Warning
- I have a solution for you, but as far as a simple adapter like the part # 20142 that would plug into your 7-way round there isn't an option available.
Instead you would need to install load resistors on all of the taillight circuits of your trailer that have LEDs. For a pair you would want the part # DI34ZR.
view full answer... - Best Bike Rack for 2020 Mercedes-Benz G63 Easy to Use vs Lightweight
- Using the Yakima BackSwing Swing Away Hitch Extender for Bike Racks - 2" Hitches # Y02483 with your 2020 Mercedes-Benz AMG G63 so that you can have full access to your rear doors when needed is a well-thought out strategy. Actually, the Yakima BackSwing cannot be used with the Thule Helium # TH44VR since the hitch extender only works with a solid 2" shank and the Thule Helium has an 1-1/4" shank with a 2" adapter sleeve. Keep in mind this extender is only rated for 250lbs of weight.

view full answer... - Recommended Vehicle Recovery Strap And Receiver-Mounted Shackle
- The ring on the Trailer Hitch Receiver Mounted Forged Tow Eye # TR63045 is approximately 1" thick. The Bulldog Winch 3/4" Bow Shackle # BDW20020 has an opening of about 1-1/4". This will work, but it will be a tight fit. I recommend going with the Bulldog Winch Bow Shackle # BDW20117. This has an opening of 1-3/4" which will be plenty to fit the Trailer Hitch Receiver Mounted Forged Tow Eye # TR63045. You can then use tow strap such as Erickson Recovery Strap # EM59600.
