Purchased this for my 2009 Mercedes ML350, fits perfectly without any modifications. Make sure you leave the original bolts and screws that are coming from the frame, you will re-use those. This is my 4th hitch receiver I buy from this store and always successful with the installation.

I had the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver professionally installed on my 2007 Mercedes ML SUV. I've only used it twice so far - to pull a custom BBQ smoker/grill I recently purchased. Everything works fine and it looks great! My mechanic said the install was easy. Thanks for a great product at a competitive price!

My local garage installed it for me on a 2007 Mercedes Benz ML350, and I use it regularly to tow a utility trailer and to mount my bike rack. Good quality for the price, and no hassles with ordering or delivery.



by:

I had it installed by a professional. He had no issues. Fits extremely well under car.



by:

This is my second trailer hitch that I have purchased from you and I have been very pleased with the service and the product. The time it took for the delivery was very short.
I had the trailer hitch installed by a local Car Shop.
I am very happy with your service and will recommend your product.

2006 Mercedes-Benz M-Class

It was a straightforward install (you do have to drill holes in the bottom of your tire well, but it is easy) and it has ben great since. I tow a small motorcycle trailer with 3 motorcycles and it works beautifully for that.

excellent quality...delivered within 2 days! Having the hitch and wiring harness installed at the dealership..



by:

The first controller we received was installed and did not work
correctly. We did have a lot more labor in this job which hurts when you get a new part and assume it is good. We were shipped a replacement part rather quickly and when installed all did work good.

Great company. I love free shipping.

  • Recommended Hitch and Wiring Harness for a 2007 Mercedes-Benz ML320 CDI
    Hey Jim, thanks for the information and welcome back! The only hitch we have for the 2007 Mercedes-Benz ML320 CDI is the Curt item # 13342. This is a class III hitch with a 2" receiver. Please note it will not fit if your ML320 CDI if yours has the factory air ride suspension. Your options for wiring harnesses are not going to be as easy as last time though. There are no plug in 4-way or 7-way connectors for your 2007 Mercedes ML320 CDI. Which means you'll have to go with a universal...

  • Recommended Hitch for 2010 Mercedes-Benz ML350 4matic
    As long as your 2010 Mercedes Benz ML350 isn't a BlueTEC or doesn't have the air ride suspension, the Curt # 13342 is what I'd recommend. The # C13102 you'd looked at is for the 2012 GL350, and wouldn't be a fit for your ML350.

    The item you selected, Curt Class III Trailer Hitch, part # 13342, is the hitch I would recommend for your 2006 Mercedes Benz ML350. This is a Class III Hitch, with a 2 inch receiver that is compatible with most accessories such as cargo carriers or bike racks. This is the highest rated hitch available for your 2006 Mercedes-Benz ML350 for towing. In addition to part # 13342, you may need the following to complete your towing setup: Ball Mount part # C45010, Pin and Clip part #...

    Yes, the Curt Class III Trailer Hitch Receiver, # 13342, is a confirmed for your 2007 Mercedes ML350 as long as it does not have the Air Ride Suspension. I have included a link to the instructions below. Hitches do not come with a ball mount. So you might also be interested in Ball Mount # C45010, and a ball. For hitch balls you can use, # 19260 (1-7/8 inch diameter), # 63845 (2 inch diameter), or # 63853 (2-5/16 inch diameter) depending on your towing needs. I also recommend a Trailer...

  • Trailer Hitch and Wiring for 2011 Mercedes-Benz ML350
    You can definitely go the aftermarket route which will require some splicing but isn't overly complicated. We also have installation videos you can use as a reference to make things easier. For a hitch you can use the Curt # 13342 as long as you don't have the BlueTEC. This features a bolt-on installation and comes with a lifetime warranty. For wiring, you're on the right track with the # ETBC7. However, you need to start by installing a 4-way with # 119147KIT. Once you have a 4-way you...

  • Can Trailer Hitch Receiver Be Modified To Increase Maximum Tongue Weight Rating
    A trailer hitch receiver can not be modified to increase the maximum tongue weight rating of the trailer hitch receiver. Modifying the receiver will void the manufacturer warranty and could cause a safety issue. For example the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # 13342 you were looking at has a maximum tongue weight of 350lbs and a maximum trailer weight rating of 3500lbs. If you are planning on towing you could use a weight distribution system to slightly increase the capacity of the hitch...

  • Trimming Trunk Pan Cover of 2010 Mercedes-Benz M Class to Install Curt # 13342
    Curt provides trimming instructions for its Class III trailer hitch, part # 13342. I've provided you a photo and diagram showing where and how much needs to be trimmed. You'll need to see your dealer for the trailer wiring harness, and for a ball mount, part # D-4 is recommended. For a 1-7/8 ball, use # 19260 or # 63845 for a 2 inch ball you''ll also need the Hitch Pin and Clip, # PC3.

    I did some research on the internet and found that some of the bolts may be behind plastic tabs on your 2007 Mercedes-Benz ML350. The rear bumper may also have safety cables attached to the rear mud flaps. You will also have to remove a center fascia bracket that is pictured in the instructions. When you slide the rear bumper off, it will need to be slid straight back, as there are tabs that the bumper slides into to attach to the vehicle. I have linked instructions for the Curt Trailer...

    I would definitely recommend checking your owners manual for the 2010 Mercedes ML350, as sometimes manufacturers do require a transmission cooler for towing, in order to maintain the vehicle warranty. It does not look like we offer any custom transmission cooler fittings for your vehicle, but if you could provide the size of your radiator inlets, I would be glad to check for available fits.

    Both hitches share the same basic design and the same capacity, but I'd personally choose the Curt # 13342 over the Draw-Tite # 75376 because I feel that Curt does a better job with their powder coat finish. To realize the full capacity of the hitch, you'll want to use a weight distribution hitch, and because travel trailers are pretty vulnerable to trailer sway caused by crosswinds and oncoming and passing traffic, I'd recommend going with a system that includes an effective sway control...
