The hitch was for my bike rack. Works perfectly. Was a bit of a challenge to install, took the installer longer than anticipated, but no problems.



by:

I truly appreciate your support and fast delivery will definitely forward the final results when installed Thanks so much



by:

This is a good solid unit that will work for me very well. Using the video online it was not too hard at all. However just an FYI, you don't need to remove the exhaust heat shield. You can trim it in place.



by:

This hitch has definitely held up & there is no rust. Excellent product for the price. I’ve used this hitch so many times for our bikes. Highly recommend.

Hitch was installed on our 2020 MB GLC AWD at local Farm & Fleet Auto shop for a reasonable price ~$[XX]. Once installed, I was very happy with the concealed appearance of the hitch and accessibility for a 1UP hitch mounted bike rack. The bike rack barely has enough reach to install without an extender as the hitch is recessed 3-5/8 inches from the bumper. I keep a hitch plug in when the bike rack is not on. After one year, including a Wisconsin winter, I have noticed a small rust spot on the interior corner of the receiver. I plan to spray with rust inhibitor paint and coat with Fluid Film to hopefully address that small issue and keep the receiver looking new.

Another year and another Wisconsin winter and the hitch receiver is in almost exactly the same condition as a year ago. I haven't gotten around to painting or applying rust inhibitor yet...but appears to be holding up well anyway.

Easy and Fast Shipping! I haven’t gotten it installed but will soon.

This is my 2nd hitch from etrailer. Love it! I can't say enough about the support that etrailer gives when you buy one of their products. After I bought a new car, I bought a new hitch for my mountain bike rack. I was worried because I had never worked on a Mercedes before. But the video tutorial walked me through the entire thing (without a hitch...ha ha).

I'm submitting photos to show you my 2.5 hours of work it took (start to finish). I followed the instructions that etrailer gave, watched the video on my tablet while I was installing and everything turned out great! Just look at my pictures man! :O)

1. Use a small screwdriver to get the plastic rivets out.
2. make sure you use zip ties when reinstalling the back rubber housing so you keep cables out of the way.
3. Use ramp/blocks to bring up the back end. It's waaaaay easier when you have the room to work...and you will need it.
4. WATCH the videos. These guys do great tutorials.
5. Enjoy!

So far, this Curt Trailer Hitch receiver has worked quite well for me. It seems to be extremely durable and reliable. This was a custom fit for my Mercedes GLC300 4Matic, so it was designed to have a hidden/discreet look. It is tucked nicely under the body of the vehicle once installed. At the moment, I have only used it for attaching a rear cargo steel carrier, but future plans are to hitch other things like a small travel trailer, small 4x6 enclosed cargo trailer also.



by:

Excellent fit and finish. Install was not as straight forward as with other products. There is a material difference between a GLC 300 and a GLC 300 with the AMG package (not to be confused with a GLC 43) - the rear body panels are different. Luckily, this hitch fit both but the installation instructions were different when it came to exposing the rear bumper. Not a huge big deal but did create some head scratching during installation. Would definitely buy again.



by:
2020 Mercedes-Benz GLC

Great price , process delivered quickly and installed perfectly as the video on the website highlighted



by:

Took me a little bit longer than I thought. Overall, not a bad process of installation and the instruction video was all I needed. Only thing I would add is that a deep 18mm socket is required for the bumper. Love the receiver hitch.



by:
2019 Mercedes-Benz GLC-Class

Fits my wife's GLC 300 Coupe perfectly, and the how-to video was priceless! Saved me over $1k from purchasing/installing from the dealer. The bike rack is perfect with the hitch extender. We couldn't be happier with the product and instructional video.



by:
2018 Mercedes-Benz GLC-Class

Finally, I installed my hitch to 2018 Mercedes GLC SUV. The instructions are almost perfect with a slight adjustment for 2018 cars. It fit perfect and it was easy if you have all the tools. All you need to do raise the back wheels 4-5 inches. It's easier if you have 2 to install.

Great! I really like this hitch because it looks like an original hitch.

Excellent design and manufacturing. The product has performed flawlessly. The installation was bit of a challenge, but the instructions were great and and I got through it. I would recommend this product.

After a year I am still impressed with this product. No issues and it works great. I love how it does not protrude and bang your shins. Excellent design.



by:

Looks great, and is exactly what I was looking for, on my Mercedes 300 GLC



by:

I am still thrilled with my hitch. The quality, strength and stability are superior in every way. I had it installed by my local body shop who found the website instructions very useful. I was charged a minimal amount for expert installation. The only issue I have is the interference with the backup system on my Mercedes GLC when a bike rack is inserted into the hitch but that is MB issue. The hitch as I said, is perfect!



by:

The trailer hitch fits perfectly. I have no problem with the hitch. The factory-installed 1" hitch had a welded piece attached for holding the electrical connection but the new 2" did not have one. I cut off the original metal piece, modified it, and bolted it to the new hitch.

  • What Hitch Bike Rack Do You Recommend for a 2021 Mercedes GLC?
    For a bike rack that fits your 2-inch trailer hitch on your 2021 Mercedes-Benz GLC, it really depends on if you have heavier bikes, bikes with fenders, and the number of bikes that you wish to transport. If you have heavier bikes or bikes with fenders, I recommend the Hollywood Racks Sport Rider SE # HR200Z (2-bike version) and the # HR1400Z (4-bike version). the Sport Rider SE has a maximum per-bike weight capacity of 80 pounds, and the frame attachment style of the rack will allow you...

  • Recommended Trailer Hitch for 2018 Mercedes Benz GLC-Class 300
    I have a solution for you, but the EcoHitch Stealth # 306-X7313 is designed for VW Tiguans and not the Mercedes Benz GLC-Class 300. Instead, I recommend using the Curt # C13290 which is a confirmed fit on the GLC-Class 300 and will provide you with the same concealed look that makes the EcoHitch Stealth such an attractive option. If you're going to be using your hitch for towing a small trailer, you will also need a wiring harness, ball mount and hitch ball. I've gone ahead and linked...

  • Recommended Trailer Hitch for a 2019 Mercedes Benz GLC300 SUV for Kuat Sherpa 2.0 Bike Rack

The linked article explains in detail. The USA-made Curt Class III hitch model # C13290 is a confirmed fit for your 2018 Mercedes-Benz GLC300, both the base model and the 4Matic model.

  • Recommended Trailer Hitch Receiver for 2018 Mercedes-Benz AMG GLC63
    Installation of the Curt # C13290 does not require cutting the bumper. However, this hitch does not fit your 2018 AMG GLC63. The only hitch that is confirmed to fit is the Stealth Hitches Hidden Rack Receiver # SH39MR. This also does not require trimming the bumper and has a completely hidden design. This receiver is for hitch mounted accessories only. If you plan on towing, you will need the # SH84GR which includes the towing kit. You could also add the towing kit later using the # SH72MR.

  • What Wiring Kit Do I Need To Tow A U-Haul Trailer With A 2017 Mercedes-Benz GLC
    Hey Megan, I can definitely help set you up with a wiring kit for your 2017 Mercedes GLC 300. Your GLC is the SUV correct? If so, I recommend the Tekonsha T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness # 118747. This will give you a 4-flat plug, which is the same plug used on the U-Haul cargo trailers. This is a standard T-harness so installation will be pretty straightforward. You will plug in behind the taillights on each side, and you will run a wire to the battery to power the converter. I am afraid...

    Yes you can tow the two waverunners on a trailer with the Mercedes. I recommend Curt Trailer Hitch receiver part # C13290 for your 2019 Mercedes-Benz GLC-300 because it will provide about 1/2" more ground clearance then the other options on your Mercedes.

    For the 2018 Mercedes-Benz GLC 300, I'd recommend the Curt Class III, part # C13290. This hitch has a great capacity and Curt does a nice job on their powder coat finish, so the finish should prove to be durable over time. Curt lists this hitch as a confirmed fit for all models of the 2018 GLC 300, unless the vehicle is equipped with the factory hitch.
