Availability of a Hitch Mount Bike Rack and Trailer Hitch for a 2005 Mercedes CLK 320
Question:
Hi, I just bought a 2005 Mercedes CLK 320 and I want to install a hitch and hitch mounted bike rack on it. I like the Swagman 2. Do you think that would work for me. I have a Terry bicycle. They are made for women and the front wheel is smaller than the rear one. Do you think that would be a problem? Also, my mechanic told me I should get a bolt on hitch. I know NOTHING about hitches so can you recommend one that would work with my car and the Swagman? Thank youl

I have a solution for you but your 2005 Mercedes CLK 320 hasn't been confirmed to work with any trailer hitches we currently offer.
At this time the only option we have is a trunk mount bike rack. I recommend the Hollywood Racks, part # HRF2-3 ,because it holds up to 3 bikes and conforms to the contours of your 2005 Mercedes Benz CLK.
Since you have a woman's Terry bicycle, I recommend getting an adapter like the Yakima # Y02531 because it creates a straight tube top for woman's or oddly shaped frame bikes.
I included a couple video reviews and a informative article for you too.
