If your Mercedes-Benz GLC is a 2016 GLC300 SUV, we do have trailer hitch options for your vehicle. I recommend the Curt Class III Receiver Hitch # C13290 for your GLC300. This hitch has a towing capacity that will not limit your vehicle and offers a 2 inch hitch receiver to accept a wide variety of hitch accessories. The # C13290 is designed to install at the back of the vehicle behind the bumper mount, which will require the removal and reattachment of the bumper beam.

The written installation instructions for this hitch are linked for you.

If you are looking at towing a light trailer with your vehicle, the wiring harness we offer for your GLC300 is the Tekonsha ZCI Circuit Protected Vehicle Wiring Harness # 119250KIT. This harness will not require you to cut or splice any wires into your vehicle's factory wiring.

The best ball mount will depend on the height of the trailer coupler compared to the hitch height. I've attached a help article on finding the correct ball mount for you.
