Installation of Curt Class III Trailer Hitch Part # C13155 on 2014 Mercedes-Benz GLK250 Bluetec
Question:
Hello, I have been looking into a hitch for my GLK 250 diesel. I am aware of the Curt #13155 being the best option. I have also read/ heard that the install is a bit more complex. Is it possible to see a copy of the install instructions for the Diesel model so that i may make the best decision. Thanks

The hitch your referred to is confirmed to fit a 2013 and a 2014 Mercedes-Benz GLK25 Diesel. If you check out the instruction link, you can see the instructions specific to the GLK250 Bluetec (Diesel). Curt classifies their hitch installations as being 'Easy', 'Moderate' or 'Hard', the installation of the # C13155 is classified as 'Moderate'.
Curt's warranty requirements stipulate that a stabilizing strap like part # 18050 be used on non trailer loads like a bike rack or cargo carrying tray.
