Recommendation For Reducing Rear Suspension Sag on a 2020 Mercedes Benz GLE 350 When Trailer Towing
Question:
I have a 2020 Mercedes Benz GLE 350 that needs something to help with rear end sag when towing a trailer.

Expert Reply:
I recommend using a Fastway e2 Weight Distribution Hitch # FA92-00-0800 to reduce the sag you are getting while towing with your 2020 Mercedes-Benz GLE 350. While there are currently no suspension enhancements confirmed to fit your GLE the Fastway system will allow you to level your suspension and will also help stabilize your trailer while driving. It incorporates sway control into the weight distribution to help keep your trailer tracking straight behind you while you are towing. This particular hitch is rated for trailers with a tongue weight of 400-800lbs and a maximum weight of 8,000lbs.
You will need either a 2" Hitch Ball # EQ91-00-6080 or 2-5/16" Hitch Ball # EQ91-00-6100 to match your trailer coupler. A 1-7/8" 12pt Thin Walled Socket # ALL643216 will be needed to install the hitch ball.
