Can a Trailer Hitch on a 2010 Mercedes ML Class Handle Towing a 1969 Ford Mustang on a Tow Dolly
Question:
Can I pull a 69 mustang with this hitch on a car dolley?

Expert Reply:
It looks like the 1969 Ford Mustang can weight between 3,200 and 3,500 pounds. Trailer hitch # 13342 for the 2010 Mercedes ML-Class is rated for 3,500 pounds. Provided that the combined weight of your Mustang and the tow dolly you use is under 3,500 pounds when ready to tow then this hitch can handle it.
I also 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.
And to add a 4-Way flat trailer connector to the back of your Mercedes you can use # 119250KIT which does not require any splicing into the vehicle wiring!
