With a 6,000-lb maximum gross trailer weight and 900-lb tongue weight rating, this Class III hitch gives you the flexibility to tow small campers, boats, or utility trailers. The 2" x 2" receiver opening works with most bike racks, cargo carriers, and ball mounts so you can haul gear for work or play without needing extra adapters. It’s built for steady towing and everyday use when you want to make the most out of your vehicle’s capabilities.
Only the receiver tube shows once it’s installed, keeping the rest of the hitch hidden behind the bumper. The gloss black powder coat over a protective base layer gives it a clean, factory-like finish that resists rust. You get full towing strength without sacrificing appearance—nothing hangs low or looks out of place.
The sturdy square-tube frame is fully welded for strength and corrosion resistance. Precision robotic welding ensures everything lines up correctly and stays solid under load. The gloss black powder coat helps protect against road salt and moisture so the hitch stays looking good season after season.
This hitch bolts directly to existing holes in the frame, so you don’t have to drill or weld anything. Installation instructions are included to walk you through the steps using common hand tools. Once it’s in place, you’re ready to attach your ball mount, pin, and clip (sold separately) and start towing with confidence.

Ratings & Reviews
I've had the hitch and wire connections for a year and I am very satisfied with the products. Everything has met or exceeded my expectations. I would recommend etrailer to anyone without reservation.
Love how discreet this trailer hitch compared to the one UHaul had installed on my other vehicle.
This hitch called for 2 hours to install with a difficultly rating of ten. We got it done in a little more that an hour and the installation was not at all that difficult. I would give it a 6. Having a lift does make things a lot easier than laying on your back trying to do the job though.
Shipping came on time. However the trailer came scratch and the box was broken. but overall I am happy and it's not easy to get the trailer install in the Mercedes.
I just received the item yesterday. I'm going to have the professional people to assemble it for me next week. So I'm unable to rate the product, but I can tell you that I was pleased with the fast delivery and easy ordering system. I'll come back and rate the trailer Hitch Receiver after I use it on my carryon trailer.
Installed myself. Video instructions were very good and very helpful. Had to verify (with eTrailer) that this particular trailer hitch is compatible with the MB GLC 300 "COUPE" as the instructions (from Curt mfg. co.) contained in the box did not address "COUPE".
The hitch fits perfect. Now we can load up the bikes and ride. Thank you for the help making sure we had the right one for our car.
I have been using my etrailer hitch and mount to pull my 19 foot Bayliner and it pulls beautifully! I had it professionally installed and am very happy with it. Etrailer was fast, easy and affordable. I highly recommend this company.
The trailer hitch fit right under vehicle and hide behind the bumper. Love the outcomes. Also the bike rack Is very easy to install and a light weight as well. Install and remove from the hitch is so easy and convenient. Love both products.
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.
The trailer hitch was used to attach a twister. A twister is a step which allows a dog to step into the back of a vehicle. You twist it out from under the car for the dog to use then twist it back under the car to store. The hitch has worked perfectly. I have had no problems. Cost was more than reasonable. The hitch was used on my Mercedes AMG SUV. Had I purchased the trailer hitch directly from Mercedes it would have cost me approximately $2,000.00!
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!
Looks great, and is exactly what I was looking for, on my Mercedes 300 GLC
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.
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 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.
Easy and Fast Shipping! I haven’t gotten it installed but will soon.
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.
Great price , process delivered quickly and installed perfectly as the video on the website highlighted
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.
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.
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!
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.
I had a great experience ordering this hitch receiver from etrailer. Not only did I get a substantial discount, but shipping was also free, and it was delivered the very next day! The package was quite heavy, but everything was packed very securely and arrived in perfect condition.
Before placing my order, I called etrailer to confirm that this hitch receiver would fit my 2016 Mercedes-Benz GLC 300. Their customer service was very friendly and knowledgeable. The representative even took the time to explain the pros and cons of the two hitch receivers I was considering, which made it much easier for me to make my decision.
What impressed me even more was the price. The shop where I’m having the hitch installed sells the exact same model, but they wouldn’t offer me any discount at all.
I really appreciate etrailer’s pricing, customer service, and incredibly fast delivery. If the price is the same or even close, I would definitely choose etrailer over other sellers. Highly recommended!

I recently sold the car that we had installed this trailer hitch on. But during the time we owned it, it performed as if it had been factory installed. Never had any issue lugging around two e-bikes of almost 60 pounds per bike. We took many long trips with confidence. Thank you etrailer.
