Trailer Hitch and Towing Accessory Options for 2015 Mercedes-Benz GLK350
Question:
Will either the Hidden Hitch or Draw Tite trailer hitch work for a 2015 MB GLK 350? Also, if both would work which would be the least conspicuous? The hitch is to be used for a bike rack. Thank you

According to Cequent Performance Products, the parent company of Hidden Hitch and Draw-Tite, both the Draw-Tite # 75774 and the Hidden Hitch # 87636 will fit the 2015 Mercedes-Benz GLK350. However, the Hidden Hitch model is no longer being manufactured.
Hidden Hitch and Draw-Tite are sister companies, so both hitches would be identical in appearance. The crossbar-tube and the square receiver opening would be visible just under the rear bumper of the vehicle.
The hitch would be an excellent choice for carrying a bike rack. If you click the provided link, you can see the most popular bike racks we've sold to owners of Mercedes-Benz GLK350's.
If you should decide to tow with your hitch, you'll also need a drawbar like part # D-4, Hitch Pin and Clip, # PC3, and part # 19260 for a 1-7/8 inch trailer ball or # 63845 for a 2 inch ball. You'll also need a trailer wiring harness, but you'd need to obtain that from your Mercedes dealer.
