Can You Carry 3 Bikes On a 2012 Mercedes-Benz E350 Sedan

Question:

I have a 2016 E350 W212, the class 1 only allows for one or two bikes to hang. The W212 doesn’t tow ever. Two have 3 bikes a class 2 is needed, but no class two is made for this car as it can’t tow. Is there a class two available for another vehicle that is able to tow that is the same mounting as W212? I will order for that vehicle. Thank you,

The only trailer hitch option available for a 2012 Mercedes-Benz E350 is class I, the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver part # C11001. Therefore, the max number of bikes you can carry on the rear is two with a rack like the Thule Camber 2 Bike Rack part # TH9058.

If you need to carry more bikes you will need to place them on the roof with a roof rack of which some options are attached below.
