Curt trailer hitch # C13117 for the 2014 Mercedes ML350 does not have any listed restrictions other than Active Curve models like you said. Generally the issue with special editions is a lower rear fascia so it is possible that the hitch will fit but there may be some minor fascia trimming required which is usually not noticeable. I have included a link to the installation instructions and a video so you can get a better idea of how it installs and where on the vehicle the receiver will be.

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.

And for trailer wiring I recommend the ZCI kit # 119250KIT. This kit does not require splicing into the vehicle wiring. Instead it has connectors that clamp around the tail light wires. But pay close attention to the instructions because if you miss a step you have to start over with the installation. Not that it is difficult or anything but it is always ideal to get it done instead of having to try multiple times!
