Recommended Ball Mount for 2013 Mercedes GLK with 1-1/4 Inch Hitch Receiver
Question:
The ball hitch you recommend for a 2013 Mercedes GLK appears to fit a 2inch receiver, however, my genuine Mercedes dealer installed hitch has a receiver that measures only 1 1/4. What do you recommend that would be compatible with that?

Expert Reply:
We do have ball mounts that fit 1-1/4" hitch receivers. I have linked you to a page listing all our fixed 1-1/4" ball mounts. You will want to filter these by the size drop or rise you need. I have also linked to a FAQ page on Choosing the Correct Ball Mount. So if you find you need a ball mount with a 2-1/8" rise, you will want part # 3593. This ball mount which includes the pin and clip. If you find you need a 1-7/8" diameter hitch ball you will want part # 19256.
