Features to know about

Haul What You Need Safely: Class III Strength for Everyday Use

With a 3,500 lbs maximum gross trailer weight and 525 lbs maximum tongue weight, this hitch is built for small campers, boats, utility trailers, and cargo carriers. It’s a solid choice for everyday hauling or weekend adventures. The 2" x 2" receiver opening works with a wide range of towing accessories like ball mounts and bike racks, so you can get the most utility out of your setup.

Built to Last Through the Elements: Powder-Coated, Fully Welded Steel

The fully welded steel construction gives you dependable strength and lasting durability. A gloss black powder coat finish is layered over a protective base coat for superior rust resistance, while the co-cured liquid A-coat protects the inside and outside surfaces from corrosion. This sturdy, square-tube hitch holds up well to weather and road grime without losing its clean look.

Skip the Welding Hassle: Bolt-On Installation with Included Hardware

Installation is straightforward since this hitch bolts directly to the frame—no welding required. It includes a complete hardware kit and installation instructions so you can get it mounted using basic tools. Precision robotic welding ensures a perfect fit that lines up where it should, keeping the process smooth whether you’re doing it solo or with a buddy.

Keep It Clean and Functional: Open-Back Receiver for Easy Maintenance

The open-back receiver design makes it simple to clear out dirt and debris after towing or off-road use. It’s a small but useful touch that helps keep the receiver ready for whatever accessory you want to mount next time out.

parts work well, good service, good prices. UPS delivery was kind of a nightmare...due to 4 delays and damaging the box

Great product very tight install. 2 Hour job

Fast shipping, excellent customer service, the trailer hitch I received exactly as represented, fit perfectly. Terrific online buying experience.

Product construction was great. Fitment took two seasoned engineers (mechanical degreed) four hours and a bit of bleeding. This could have been cut in half by providing a full-sized templates for the cutting/trimming of the heat shield. The instructions were lacking in info for the areas and dimensions for this trimming. The instructions could also be more helpful if they were in color vs. black/white. Installation was listed as 9 of 10, which I believe was well rated. The finished look and rigidity were both very good. Thank-you for your good product.

Fit well, looks good, very little alterations to the car...2025 Mercedes GLA250. Hitch House in Sarasota, Fla. did a excellent job installing.

  • Least Visible Trailer Hitch For A 2021 Mercedes GLA250
    Though we have not yet done an install of either the Draw-Tite # DT72MR or the Curt # C55WR on a 2021 Mercedes-Benz GLA250, I did mange to find a couple pictures of each hitch installed. With that being said, you are correct in that the Draw-Tite will be slightly less visible/exposed than the Curt. I do have to say that it is pretty marginal though, and the picture I found for the Draw-Tite isn't the best, so just a heads up.

  • Comparing Curt and Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch Receivers For 2021 Mercedes-Benz GLA
    You are correct that for your 2021 Mercedes-Benz GLA there are two trailer hitch receiver options, the Curt # C55WR and the Draw-Tite # DT72MR. These hitches are in all honestly pretty similar as they share the same overall design, both have a 525lb tongue weight rating and 3500lb trailer weight rating, and will have roughly the same installation difficulty. With that said I recommend the Curt # C55WR due to it being made here in the USA so you know it is a quality hitch, and in our experience...

  • Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver Installation on 2021 Mercedes-Benz GLA
    We have not yet had the opportunity to install the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C55WR on a 2021 Mercedes-Benz GLA. This hitch does have a bolt-on installation, and the heat shield must be modified or trimmed. Although we do not yet have an installation video, I have attached the written instructions for your reference.

  • 2023 Mercedes-Benz GLA250 Trailer Hitch Fitment
    The correct fit for your 2023 Mercedes-Benz GLA is the Curt Class III Trailer Hitch Receiver # C55WR. If you're needing the trailer hitch for a bike rack then I highly recommend the Kuat NV 2.0 Base # BA22B because it's easy to use, looks great, and has tremendous quality. Usually when people get this rack and install it on their vehicle they end up leaving it because they like how it looks.
