Question

I want to rent a trailer from u-haul and they require a 3500lbs minimum towing capacity. I saw a hitch for a Mercedes GLK rated for 4000 lbs Item # 75774 . Would these 2 work together? Thanks

The Draw Tite hitch part # 75774 that fits your 2014 Mercedes GLK350 has a towing capacity of 4,000 lb so it would easily fit the requirement mentioned that the rental place required.

When we installed the Draw Tite Hitch part #75774 in a 2012 Mercedes GLK Class 4Matic we had to trim the bumper tabs but the bumper did not have to be removed. Check out the install video I attached that shows this hitch installed on a 2012 GLK…

For your 2013 Mercedes-Benz GLK-250 BlueTEC, we don't have a 1-1/4 inch hitch receiver as a confirmed fit so I can't give you the manufacturer specs on that hitch. We do have a 2 inch trailer hitch receiver confirmed to fit. It is the Curt…
