Since I don't know what year your Mercedes Benz GL 450 is it is pretty hard for me to make recommendations.

But assuming you have a 2 inch opening hitch I would recommend the Folding 24x60 Curt Cargo Carrier part # C18151 as long as you have less than 9 inches of clearance from the center of the hitch pin hole to the furthest point out on the bumper. For a fixed carrier I would go with the Curt Carrier part # C18152.

Since I do not know the year of your vehicle I can't recommend you a roof rack and cargo box, the best I can do is recommend a cargo bag that is compatible with roof racks with only side rails. For that I would recommend the Cargo Bag # RL100S30.

Check out the review videos I attached.
