Recommended Equipment Needed to Tow with a 2015 Mercedes-Benz GLK350
Question:
I am looking for a trailer wiring harness for a 2015 Mercedes Benz GLK 350. I found item number 119250KIT, is this the a kit that will work or will the others listed for the GLK 250 work as well, not sure if the vehicle model would make a difference.

The Tekonsha ZCI # 119250KIT is confirmed to fit your 2015 Mercedes-Benz GLK350 and is a great option to use for a 4-Way flat connector.
I like to recommend the Tekonsha electronic parts because they have received numerous positive reviews from customers and we have found them to be the most reliable.
If you do not already have a trailer hitch receiver installed on your GLK350 then I recommend installing the Draw-Tite Max-Frame # 75774 which will give you a Class III, 2 inch receiver capable of pulling up to 4,000 lbs and has a tongue weight rating of 600 lbs. Since your GLK350 has a towing capacity of 3,500 lbs, it will be the the deciding factor but you will want to check your copy of your owner's manual to verify weight ratings/capacities.
To complete your towing setup you will also need a ball mount and hitch ball. These can be found with the Curt part # C45036 which comes with a ball mount that has a 2 inch Drop, a 2 inch diameter hitch ball, and a hitch pin and clip. You will want to check out the attached article on ball mounts to make sure that this is the correct ball mount for you.
I have also attached some sample installation videos for you to check out.
