I once heard that all 2013 Mercedes GLK250 models were diesels (BlueTec) but regardless you can use Curt trailer hitch # C13155 for your diesel 2013 Mercedes GLK250. Draw-Tite hitch # 75774 is only confirmed for the GLK350 so it will not fit your GLK250.

If you plan on doing some towing I recommend etrailer ball mount kit # 989900. It comes with 2 ball mounts; one with a 3/4 inch rise or 2 inch drop and one with a 2-3/4 inch rise or 4 inch drop. It also includes a 1-7/8 inch ball, 2 inch ball, hitch pin with clip, and a storage bag.

If the ball mount kit does not have the right rise or drop to tow the trailer level, use the link I have included that explains how to measure to choose a ball mount to tow the trailer level.

And to add a trailer wiring harness you can use # 119250KIT. I have included a link to a video showing an example installation on a similar vehicle.
