Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver Installation - 2003 Mercedes-Benz E-Class- Video
Today on our 2003 Mercedes Benz E-Class, we're going to be taking a look and showing you how to install the CURT Custom Fit Class 1 Trailer Hitch Receiver, part number C11701. So here's what our hitch looks like fully installed. Going to tuck up nicely behind our bumper and all we're going to see sticking out is the receiver tube and it's not going to distract from our Mercedes. This is a Class 1 hitch so it's going to give us that 1-1/4" by 1-1/4" receiver tube opening and it's going to feature a reinforced collar giving it added strength and a nice clean look. Our hitch is going to use a standard 1/2" pin and clip which are included in the kit. The safety chains are going to be a rolled steel stock style welded to the bottom of the receiver tube. And as you can see, we're not going to have too much trouble getting most sized hooks on or off. Our hitch is going to feature a 250 lb tongue weight along with a 2,500 lb gross trailer weight rating. Now I want to mention you always want to double-check your vehicle's owners manual to make sure that your care can handle pulling that amount of weight. more
