Expert Answers about Mercedes-Benz Metris


  • Recommended Trailer Hitch Receiver and Wiring Harness For a 2019 Mercedes-Benz Metris
  • The Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver # 76015 is confirmed to fit your 2019 Mercedes-Benz Metris. It does not include any electrical connectors for your Metris. I recommend the Tekonsha ZCI Circuit Protected Vehicle Wiring Harness # 119250KIT to give your Metris a 4-way flat trailer connection. This system uses sensors to detect power traveling through the taillight wiring so the you do not have to splice into your factory harness and cause excess strain on the factory wiring....

  • Can the Curt Trailer Hitch for a 2016 Mercedes-Benz Metris be Used with Weight Distribution
  • The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver part # C13276 for your 2016 Mercedes-Benz Metris is rated for use with a weight distribution system so although I do not recommend an Andersen Weight Distribution System, you can use one. In my opinion and several others, the best weight distribution system on the market is the Equal-i-zer Weight Distribution System. This system has four point sway control which is pretty much unrivaled in terms of performance. It can also be used in reverse so long as the...

  • Tow Mirror Recommendation for 2018 Mercedes Benz Metris
  • We have universal style tow mirrors that will work great on your 2018 Mercedes Benz Metris like the K-Source Tow Mirror # KS3990 but nothing custom fit like the # 10901 that you mentioned. The universal mirrors mentioned though fit very well and are very stable. I looked up the mirrrors of your vehicle and they would easily be compatible.

  • Weight Distribution Hitch for R-Pod Trailer Towed By 2016 Mercedes Benz Metris
  • I have a solution for you, but we don't currently offer the Andersen weight distribution system. It looks like most R-Pod 179 trailers have a dry weight of under 3000-lbs and a tongue weight of around 350-lbs in most cases (your trailer's tongue weight should be between 10-15% of the total weight of your fully loaded trailer). In order to choose the best weight distribution system for your trailer, you'll want the tongue weight of the trailer to fall in the middle of the tongue weight...

  • Hard Wired Brake Controller for 2020 Mercedes Metris
  • I recommend the Tekonsha Prodigy P3 Trailer Brake Controller # 90195 for a hardwired brake controller on your 2020 Mercedes Metris. It is a proportional brake controller which adapts to light and extreme braking automatically. It also has a customizable LCD screen that will help identify issues and tell you where to begin looking. It is also easily removable for storage or to be used in a different vehicle.

  • Roof Rack and Roof Awning for 2016 Mercedes Metris
  • I have a solution for you but we don't have an awning that cat attach to the side rails of your 2016 Metris. Instead you'd need to install a set of crossbars confirmed to fit your vehicle like the Malone part # MPG216 so that you can use the Rhino Rack part # RR32132.

This is a really nice brake controller that only puts a small knob on the dash and performs really well.

  • Is the P3 Brake Controller a Good Choice for a 2018 Mercedes Metris
  • The P3 brake controller # 90195 is a fantastic brake controller and since it is not vehicle specific it can be used with your 2018 Mercedes Metris provided that it did not come with a factory installed 7-Way trailer connector (you would need to install a 4-Way trailer wiring harness, # 119250KIT, and use install kit # ETBC7 to complete the installation). If it did come with a factory installed 7-Way trailer connector then I do not recommend the P3 and instead I recommend the Curt Echo...

  • What Is Needed To Pull A Trailer With Electric Brakes Using A 2016 Mercedes-Benz Metris?
  • In order to tow a 4000lb trailer with your 2016 Mercedes-Benz Metris, you first need a hitch. I would go with the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver Class III - 2" # C13276. This is the highest weight capacity hitch we offer and has a max tongue weight of 900lbs and max towing capacity of 6000lbs. In order to get a 7-Way Plug-in on your Metris, you first need to install a 4 Pin trailer wiring kit if your vehicle does not already have one. I recommend going with the ZCI 4-Pole Flat Trailer...

  • What Steps Do You Recommend for My 50-Inch High Entryway on My RV?
  • I have a great solution for you to get stairs for your 50-inch entry platform. Unfortunately, the Victory Step Manual Fold-Down Steps for RV and Toy Haulers # LC726895 will only work with entryways that are 30-45 inches high. Victory Step models sadly do not come with a 5-step option that will be able to get you the 50-inch height you need. With that being said, for a great 5-step version that will give you the height you need, I recommend the TorkLift GlowStep Stow N' Go Scissor Steps...

  • Where is the Trailer Brake Controller Plug on a 2020 Mercedes-Benz Metris
  • The trailer brake controller plug on a 2020 Mercedes-Benz Metris is located on the driver side behind the center console, under the sound deadening mat in the top left of the passenger footwell. I have attached a photo of this as well. I recommend using the Tekonsha Prodigy P3 Trailer Brake Controller part # 90195 with Tekonsha Custom Wiring Adapter for Trailer Brake Controllers part # 3063-P which makes for a plug-in-play install. If you don't want to do all the work finding the connector...

  • Can 2017 Mercedes-Benz Metris Tow Using Weight Distribution
  • According to the owner's manual, your Metris is rated to tow up to 5000 lbs. I saw no prohibitions regarding weight distribution mentioned, but you'll want to find the ID label on the hitch. If the label on the hitch lists both a towing and weight distribution capacity, then it is capable of being used with weight distribution. The owner's manual mentioned a 500 lb tongue weight (the maximum amount downward force that can safely applied to the hitch) maximum, so you'll want to be sure not...

  • Best Bike Rack Setup For A 2017 Mercedes Metris Cargo Van
  • If you wanted to get a hitch, you can get this one # 76015 which will work with any 2 inch bike rack like the NV 2.0 # BA22B-BA02B which also comes in a two bike version # BA22B. If you wanted to be able to keep your bikes on and not have to take them off to get to the back of your Metris we have a swing away system # PVP20B that will allow you to swing your bikes away so you can open your rear barn doors while leaving everything attached. This thing is AWESOME! It really makes having a...

  • How to Access the Rear Cargo Area of a 2016 Mercedes Metris with Bike Rack Mounted to Hitch
  • I have a solution for you, but, unfortunately, there is no front receiver hitch available for the 2016 Mercedes-Benz Metris. The best option for you is to change your bike rack to either a tilting or swing-away platform bike rack. Using a rack like the RockyMounts BackStage 2 Bike Platform Rack, # RKY10002, will allow you to swing two loaded bikes out and away from the rear of your Mercedes Metris. This rack will give the most access to the rear cargo area of your vehicle, but this rack...

  • Recommended Awning for 2020 Mercedes-Benz Metris with Aftermarket Rails
  • You will need cross bars to go with your aftermarket rails, I recommend the Thule WingBar Evo Crossbars, # TH711500 and mount them with Feet # TH710401. Once in place, you can use the Roof Rack Adapters for Thule HideAway Awnings, # TH490001 to mount the Thule HideAway Awning, # TH490008.
