It sounds like you have a 7-way connector on your ML350. If the trailer you plan on towing has the female version of your connector then you will not need an adapter. The other possible situation is you have the 7-way male connector on your ML350 and the trailer has a 4-way. If this is the case then Hopkins # HM47365 should work.
In order to determine exactly what will work with the trailer, we will need to know what connector is used on the trailer. Not all trailer companies use the same connection methods so I am not able to verify one way or another whether or not you will need an adapter.
The picture attached is a basic 7-way.
