Expert Answers about Mercedes-Benz GLE


  • 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...

  • Can Weight Distribution be Used with 2021 Mercedes GLE 450 4matic without Active Curve System
  • Using weight distribution like the part # RP66082 with a vehicle that has auto-leveling suspension is doable. The trick is that you let the tongue weight of the trailer sit on the ball mount first which will engage the auto level suspension and then from there set up the weight distribution and you'll gain the benefits of both systems.

  • Recommended Shop To Install Trailer Hitch Receiver On 2018 Mercedes-Benz GLE
  • To have the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C13294 installed on your 2018 Mercedes-Benz GLE I recommend taking it to a local automotive repair shop as they will have no issues completing the installation, as we do not have any installers in your area.

  • Hitch Recommendation for 2020 Mercedes GLE350 with AMG Styling Package
  • Since your 2020 Mercedes GLE350 has the AMG styling package the correct hitch fit would be the fit for the AMG models like the Stealth part # SH57GR for the kit that includes the ball mount and wiring or part # SH49MR for just the hitch opening attachment.

  • How Much Can a 2017 Mercedes-Benz GLE350 Tow
  • The max trailer towing weights for a 2017 Mercedes-Benz GLE are the ones listed in the owner's manual of 6,615 lbs for gross trailer weight and 530 lbs for tongue weight. The capacities listed on the hitch are for the hitch only which is tested separately of the vehicle. In a towing setup, you're always limited by the weakest link so in this case it's your vehicle so that's the one you'll need to abide by. In regards to weight distribution, this vehicle is a unibody so it's not recommended. Please...

  • Best Bike Rack for RadRover 6 Plus Electric Fat Tire Bike
  • The best bike rack option and possibly the only one we have for a RadRover 6 Plus Electric Fat Tire Bike is the Hollywood Racks Sport Rider SE Bike Rack for 2 Electric Bikes part # HLY84FR. This rack has an 80 lb weight capacity so you can keep the battery on the bike while in transit. It can accommodate bikes with tires up to 5" so the 4" wide tires you have won't be an issue plus there is no extra adapters needed either for this. The wheelbase max is 60" which will be no problem for your...

  • Looking For Dual 2 Inch Receiver to Carry Bike Rack While Towing Camper
  • None of the Roadmaster Dual Hitch Receiver Adapters like the # RM-077-10 are rated for towing a trailer, they're intended for flat towing a vehicle where they'd see very little tongue weight, but we do have an option or two that could potentially work for you. The Curt # D-192 Dual Hitch Extender is rated for towing a trailer, but there's a catch. Using the dual hitch will lower the tongue weight capacity of your tow vehicle's hitch by half. This means that the combination of the trailer's...

  • Receiver Hitch for 2018 Mercedes GLE 350 With Active Curve
  • The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C13294 is confirmed to work with your 2018 Mercedes GLE350 with Active Curve. I reached out to Curt and they assured me that this will work. This hitch is not rated for a weight distribution hitch. If you feel that you may need or want that in the future use Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C13411. This kit is rated for a faster install (only 1 hour compared to 2) but will require more trimming than the standard hitch. If you also need wiring for lighting...

  • Recommendation For Reducing Rear Suspension Sag on a 2020 Mercedes Benz GLE 350 When Trailer Towing
  • I recommend using a Fastway e2 Weight Distribution Hitch # FA92-00-0800 to reduce the sag you are getting while towing with your 2020 Mercedes-Benz GLE 350. While there are currently no suspension enhancements confirmed to fit your GLE the Fastway system will allow you to level your suspension and will also help stabilize your trailer while driving. It incorporates sway control into the weight distribution to help keep your trailer tracking straight behind you while you are towing. This...

  • Tow Mirror Solution for 2022 Mercedes GLE350
  • While we don't have any custom fit tow mirrors that fit your 2022 Mercedes Benz GLE350 I was able to check out your mirrors online and found that they are pretty standard so a universal tow mirror like the K-Source part # KS69ZR would fit and work well.

  • Needing A Long Cable To Lock 4 Bikes To My Bike Rack
  • 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!

  • Will the Curt Echo Under-Dash Trailer Brake Controller Work On a 2022 Mercedes-Benz GLE
  • 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.

  • 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...

  • Best Tire Chains for 2020 Mercedes-Benz GLE 350
  • Assuming your 2020 Mercedes-Benz GLE has the stock 255/50-19 tire size, I'd recommend the Konig K-Summit self tensioning tire chains, part # TH02230K66. These chains offer tons of clearance to the wheel wheel and to the inside so they won't come into contact with brake and suspension components. The chains only contact the tires, not the wheel so your wheels won't get torn up, which can happen with traditional type tire chains. The Konig # TH02230K77 you'd looked at wouldn't fit your stock...

  • 2022 Mercedes-Benz GLE 450 Brake Controller Recommendation for Tow Package
  • Sometimes on newer vehicles, like your 2022 Mercedes-Benz GLE 450, we don't have a complete picture of what the tow package looks like and so we will put some generic options on our site. Our fitguide will then change as manufacturers come out with wiring instructions or we learn more about the vehicle to know how to instruct people on what exact parts to get. If the wiring that you found is definitely for a brake controller then I recommend using the Redarc Tow-Pro Elite # RED44FR because...

  • Tire Chain Recommendation for 2018 Mercedes-Benz GLE 350 AMG43 With 315/40-21 Tires
  • For the 315/40-21 tires on your 2018 Mercedes-Benz GLE 350 AMG43, I'd recommend the Konig K-Summit Self Tensioning Tire Chains, part # TH02230K77. The chains are self-tensioning, which means that once you put the chain on top of the tire and attach the chain assembly to the lug nut, the chain will center and tighten to the tire as you drive off. Probably the nicest feature of the chain is that it won't contact the wheel and damage it, it'll contact the lug nut/bolt and the tire itself...

  • The Prodigy P3 part # 90195 is a really great controller and would be what I would recommend highly for your 2017 Mercedes Benz GLE and all you'd need to install it is the part # 3066-P and you'd be set. No other changes would need to be made.

  • How To Attach Bike Rack To Trailer When Bumper Can't Be Used
  • In order to use a bike rack on a trailer you have a few options, the bumper is one if the trailer manufacturer allows for this but if not then you will need to install a trailer hitch, the Adjustable Width Trailer Hitch Receiver part # 13703 is what I recommend. This option is easy to install and can be used for other items as well such as a cargo carrier.
