We do indeed have a Class I hitch available for your 2003 Mercedes C240 Wagon, part # C11824. If you'll be using the hitch for light duty towing purposes, the hitch has a 2500 lb towing/ 250 lb tongue weight capacity. You'll want to check with Mercedes/Benz or your owner's manual to determine the actual towing capacity of your Wagon, and not exceed whichever capacity is lowest.

In order to tow with the hitch, you'll need the following items, which aren't sold in kit form but are available separately:

Trailer wiring harness, part # C59236
Ball mount, part # C45521
1-7/8 inch trailer ball, part # A-80 or # A-82 for a 2 inch ball
Locking hitch pin, part # e98879
Hitch pin and clip, part # F-4

The hitch includes all the necessary hardware necessary for a successful installation.
