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.

See what our Experts say about this CURT Trailer Hitch

  • 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.

  • 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...
