asked by: Albert L
Expert Reply:
We do have a hitch that fits the 2012 Mercedes-Benz ML350 BlueTEC, unless it has the Active Curve anti-rollover system. If your vehicle doesn't have that system, you'd use the Draw-Tite # 76141. If it does have the Active Curve system, unfortunately we don't have a compatible hitch.
If you'll be using the hitch for towing, you'll also need a wiring harness like part # 119250KIT, a ball mount like part # D-28, a # PC3 hitch pin and either # 19260 for a 1-7/8 or # 63845 for a 2 inch hitch ball.
I've linked to an install video for the Draw-Tite # 76141 hitch.
