We offer two different Class III hitches that are a fit for your 2006 M/B R500. Both the Curt # C13103 and the Draw-Tite # 75470 offer a 3500 lb towing/ 350 lb tongue weight capacity, but the warranty requirements of the Curt hitch stipulate that a stabilizing strap like # 18050 needs to be used for non-trailer loads like bike racks or cargo carriers. Because the Draw-Tite hitch has no such stipulation, I would recommend the Draw-Tite over the Curt hitch.

I have linked you to the installation instructions for each hitch.

Brake systems are not dependent on the hub bolt pattern. So you can use the Electric Trailer Brake Kit #AKEBRK-7-SA for 12 inch hub/drums or #AKEBRK-35-SA for 10 inch hub/drums. Then use #10-1-1 wire sold by the foot for your brake magnet wiring.…
