Features to know about

Get More Out of Every Trip: Class III Strength with 2" Receiver

The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver - Class III - 2" gives you a serious upgrade in utility, whether you’re hauling gear, towing a small trailer, or mounting a bike rack. With a 7,500-lb maximum gross trailer weight and 900-lb maximum tongue weight rating, it’s built to handle light to moderate towing without breaking a sweat. The 2" x 2" receiver opening works with most ball mounts, cargo carriers, and racks, so you can switch between uses easily.

Skip the Shop Visit: Bolt-On Installation with Included Hardware

This hitch is made for driveway installs—no welding or frame drilling needed. It bolts straight onto the vehicle’s frame using the included mounting hardware and installation instructions. Precision, robotic welding keeps everything lined up properly for a smooth fit and reliable strength once it’s torqued down.

Built to Last Through Weather and Road Grime: Powder-Coated Steel Construction

The fully welded steel frame is protected by a gloss black powder coat laid over a corrosion-resistant base layer. That finish stands up to rust, road salt, and debris from daily use. The sturdy square-tube design adds extra rigidity while keeping a clean look under the bumper.

Ready for Everyday Towing: Engineered for Consistent Use

If you’re hauling bikes on the weekend or towing a small trailer during the week, this hitch is up to the job. It’s rated Class III for regular, repeat use—not just occasional trips—and is built to maintain its strength over time. Ball mount, pin, and clip are sold separately so you can set it up exactly how you want.

Terrible packaging. This appears to be a return unit that was then forwarded on to me. The parts were not secure in the packaging which met damage in several spots, which will not rust due to not being painted.

It certainly sounds like that the delivery was rough with this order. I know our shipping department does their best to ship so that the orders arrive in good condition. I will have our Customer Service department reach out to you.

Fits perfect, the only Con , you reduce the height of the GLS to go over bumps or terrain, the hitch sits way lower the bumper



by:

Install pretty straightforward....but, did not need to drop the exhaust and had to remove two additional supports from the bumper cover. Holds 100+ lbs in eBikes as solid as can be.



by:

Installation was a breeze and is rock s olid.



by:

The hitch was easy to install, the instructions were simple to follow. I installed the hitch by myself, but would have been easier with two people.



by:

After one year of use, the hitch receiver continues to hold up great. No rust, flaking, or any other signs of damages.

Install took longer than I was expecting, but doesn't it always?



by:

Good product compare to oe hitch this trailer hitch is lower to the ground. Everything works no problem.



by:

Be confidence that etrailer understands your need. They knew better than the dealer, manufacturer, and installer in my situation. Easy to follow instruction in video and paper. Knowledgeable customer service reps, excellent delivery timing, and overall successful experience!

I did a hitch on a GL450. Noone else was reasonable or close in price, expertise, or communication. It was a good experience all around.



by:

I bought this for my son, and he is totally pleased! Installed it himself, fit perfectly, shipped out immediately! Box was mutilated, but all parts were there bagged and taped to the hitch! Thank you!!!!

@Susan I'm glad we had the right fit for your son's car Susan! Platform shelf for the cooler is a great idea! What beach are you guys headed to?


by:

Super quick order processing and shipping. Item was marked shipped within a couple of hours of an order and arrived within estimated time given at the time of purchase . Instructions and Videos were helpful to install the hitch. Like the etrailer.com services and curt quality. Only minor thing was Packaging. It was bit torn down as parts were not secure properly.



by:

Fit like a glove, no alterations. I can now pull my trailer and attach my hitch mounted bicycle rack. Much needed. Also thank you for your help in guiding me to the proper hitch for my vehicle.

  • Trailer Hitch Needed for a 2013/2014 Mercedes-Benz GL450
    Although the VIN would help to determine the model year of your Mercedes-Benz GL450, in this case the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C13190 fits both a 2013 and a 2014 model year so determining which model year you have doesn't matter for the trailer hitch. If you let me know what you will be using the trailer hitch for I can make additional recommendations if necessary.

  • Why Is it Better to Have Trailer Wiring that Stores Inside 2015 Mercedes GL550
    Having the 4-way run out of the back hatch is actually the preferred method although it seems like it wouldn't be. Having the 4-way stored inside the cab of the keeps it protected from rain and moisture to prevent corrosion and keeps it protected from damage to the wiring or connector by rocks or debris that might be on the highway. You can run the wire through the vehicle if you wish but just keep in mind that this does take more time and you may end up needing additional wire because...

    The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver part # C13190 is a confirmed fit for a 2017 Mercedes-Benz GLS 450. Curt has not yet updated this hitch to fit the 2018 model due to lack of testing. However, according to my research the 2018 model was unchanged from the prior 2017 for the exception of redesigned wheels which will not affect the fit of this hitch. Therefore, the Curt hitch should still work well for you it has just not yet been tested as of May 2018. I have attached a photo of what the hitch...

  • Can I Increase Tongue Weight of 2017 Mercedes Benz GLS 550 With an Aftermarket Hitch
    I'll start out by saying that a trailer hitch does not determine your vehicle's tongue weight rating or towing capacity, these are determined by your vehicle and when it comes to adding components to the equation you're always going to be limited to the lowest rated component. If your vehicle has a tongue weight capacity of 600-lbs, but the hitch says 900-lbs- you're still only safe with putting 600-lbs of tongue weight on the vehicle. The best source of information on what your capacities...

  • What is Towing Capacity of 2022 Mercedes GLS 450
    I looked up the towing capacity for your 2022 Mercedes GLS 450 and it looks like it can tow up to 7,700 lb which is higher than what your trailer weighs so you have the capacity for it but I wasn't able to find anything on whether a weight distribution system could be used. I looked at the factory hitch design and it doesn't look like one that is normally not WD rated. But beside that point is fact that aluminum trailers typically are not rated for use with WD systems so I can't safely...

  • Trailer Hitch and Wiring For 2015 Mercedes Benz GLK 250

  • Are Alterations Necessary to Install Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver on 2014 Mercedes-Benz GL450
    In order to install the Curt # C13190 some trimming will be required in addition to the bolt-on installation. A section of the heat shield will need to be trimmed that is approximately 11" x 6" and also the outboard tabs on each side of the vehicle will need to be removed. I have attached a picture from the instructions showing what needs to be trimmed as well as the instructions themselves. It is also worth noting that this hitch will not fit models that have the Active Curve system.

The # C13190 hitch you'd looked at isn't a fit for your vehicle, it's for a later model Mercedes GL or GLS. To install a brake controller, you'll need to start with a 4 pole trailer connector which would be provided by # C59236.

  • Curt Class III Receiver Hitch Towing Capacity for 2017 Mercedes-Benz GLS
    With any towing setup you are limited by the lowest rated component as the overall capacity as it would be what fails first. So your 2017 Mercedes Benz GLS 450 would be limited to whatever the owners manual states regardless of what hitch you have installed. So that begs the follow up question...why do we offer hitches rated for more than the vehicle? The answer to that is our manufacturers design a hitch to fit the vehicle and then do the best they can to make it as strong as possible...
