Expert Answers about Mercedes-Benz R-Class
- What Converter Is Available To Go From 7-Way Vehicle Connector To 4-Flat Trailer Connector
- The 7-way on your van should be a vehicle end connector that will have a female 7-way connector. You will need an adapter with a male 7-way connector to a 4-flat connector on your trailer like the Pollak 7 Pole to 4 Pole Connector Adapter, part # PK12716.
I am including a link to a video review of the Pollak adapter.

- First, I need to know if your 2011 Mercedes R350 has a factory roof rack that includes crossbars that run side to side, rails that run front to back, both, or neither.
If you do have factory crossbars and they measure less than 3-1/2 inches wide and the center to center distance between the front and rear bars is between 23-5/8 inches and 35-1/2 inches you can use a Thule cargo box. However, the largest box you can use without interference with the rear hatch/trunk would be one of the...

- We offer several options for your 2010 Mercedes R350 without side rails. I have attached a link to all the roof rack systems that are a fit for your vehicle.

- We offer two different Class III hitches that are a fit for your 2006 M/B R500. Both the Curt # C13103 and the Draw-Tite # 75470 offer a 3500 lb towing/ 350 lb tongue weight capacity, but the warranty requirements of the Curt hitch stipulate that a stabilizing strap like # 18050 needs to be used for non-trailer loads like bike racks or cargo carriers. Because the Draw-Tite hitch has no such stipulation, I would recommend the Draw-Tite over the Curt hitch.
I have linked you to the installation...

- For a trailer wiring solution for you 2012 Mercedes Benz that will bypass all of the issues you described you would want the ZCI kit part # 119250KIT. Since this harness does not require any hardwiring and uses your turn signal circuits as only signal wire it would not cause any of the issues you described. Basically you would attach the sensors to the taillight wiring of your vehicle and then run the power wire up to the battery which allows all of the amperage of your trailer wiring to...
view full answer... - Should Radial or Bias Tires be Used for a 3500lb GVWR Pop Up Camper Trailer
- I can clear this up for you really quick. Radial tires run cooler and track better than bias ply tires. Bias ply tires are typically a little more heavy duty and better for rough terrain. But you can use either one provided that the size and capacity is enough for the trailer.
It is usually best to stick with the tires recommended by the trailer manufacturer. In this case it would be a bias ply tire. For just a tire in an ST185/80-13 we have # AM1ST79 which is rated for 1,725 pounds at...

- We do have a trailer hitch option for your 2009 Mercedes-Benz R350, but the # C13190 that you mentioned is not going to fit your vehicle.

view full answer... - Are Tire Chains Required On All 4 Wheels of an All Wheel Drive 2006 Mercedes R-350
- If the all wheel drive feature on your 2006 Mercedes R-350 has all 4 wheels as the drive wheels all the time then you could put chains on all 4 wheels if you wanted to but you can put then on just the front or back as well. If the all wheel drive feature only kicks in when needed then you would put one set of chains on the main drive wheels.
Be sure to consult the vehicle owners manual for specific information on the use of tire chains. I have included a link to our FAQ article on tire...
