We can help you with a trailer hitch for your 2011 Mercedes-Benz ML350 to enable you to tow your utility trailer.
If your M-Class is the gas model (not the BlueTEC diesel) and if it does not have the Air Ride Suspension you can use the Curt 2-inch hitch # 13342 which bolts on using included hardware. The written instructions for this hitch are linked for you.
If your trailer has lights you'll also need a 4-pole wiring harness to power them. For an option that requires no cutting and splicing of the vehicle's wiring use ZCI harness # 119250KIT. You can even move it to another vehicle in the future since it is a truly universal-fit item that simply clips on to the vehicle wires.
You'll also need a ball mount with a hitch ball of the size that matches your trailer coupler. If your trailer has a 2-inch coupler you can use # C45036 which includes a hitch pin and clip.
