How Do Trailer Hitches for a 1999 Mercedes Benz ML430

Question:

Hello, I have a 1999 Mercedes Benz ML430, the frame is perfect, but the rear bumper is very rusty. Do you have a hitch setup that connects to the frame for this particular vehicle? Thanks for your time.

The only hitches we offer for the 1999 Mercedes Benz ML430 are ones like the Draw Tite hitch part # 75087 which attach to the rear bumper beam which is essentially part of the vehicle frame. It also includes reinforcement brackets that attach from the frame of the vehicle to the bumper beam.

You would most likely have to clean out the weld nuts of the bumper beam before you can install the hitch. I attached a help article that covers that. Best option will be to use a tap to clean the threads out if they are really bad.
