Trailer Hitch for a 2011 Mercedes G55 AMG
Question:
Is the C13010 the correct trailer receiver hitch for my Mercedes G55 AMG?

Helpful Expert Reply:
Yes, Curt trailer hitch # C13010 is the correct trailer hitch for your 2011 Mercedes G55 AMG. If you plan on doing some towing I recommend etrailer ball mount kit # 989900. It comes with 2 ball mounts; one with a 3/4 inch rise or 2 inch drop and one with a 2-3/4 inch rise or 4 inch drop. It also includes a 1-7/8 inch ball, 2 inch ball, hitch pin with clip, and a storage bag.
If the ball mount kit does not have the right rise or drop to tow the trailer level, use the link I have included that explains how to measure to choose a ball mount to tow the trailer level.
For trailer wiring you will need to visit a Mercedes dealer since there are no aftermarket wiring harnesses confirmed to fit your G55.
Curt also says you have to use stabilization strap # 18050 when using this hitch for any non-trailer load (such as a bike rack or cargo carrier) per their warranty requirements.
