Fully welded vehicle trailer hitch is strong and durable. Draw-Tite's Tested Tough guarantee ensures that this hitch exceeds industry standards. The combination of an e-coat base and a powder coat finish provides excellent rust protection.
Features:
Specs:
Draw-Tite's Tested Tough program provides testing standards far superior to those outlined by the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE), the go-to source for engineering professionals.
Each Draw-Tite trailer hitch receiver undergoes extensive fatigue testing and static testing with the ball mount that is either supplied or recommended for use with that particular hitch, thus ensuring results that are applicable to real life use. Fatigue testing is also conducted on hitches rated for use with weight-distribution systems.
In addition, Draw-Tite performs static testing on a simulated automobile, as opposed to the rigid fixture used for SAE testing, resulting in a more true-to-life scenario.

I purchased the Hidden Hitch for my 2014 GLK 350. Had it installed by my mechanic and took about 30 min. The hitch looks great on the GLK 350. I am very satisfied with my purchase.
I bought the Hidden Hitch to hedge my bets, allowing me to have a hitch ready for a bike rack, the StowAway HideAway trailer or whatever else I might choose. As its name implies, it is beautifully recessed and not likely to cause any damage to my shins, a big plus in my book.
It looks great on my GLK 350; I'm very pleased with my purchase and with the excellent customer service provided by Bradley & Michelle at etrailer.com.
Install of the Hidden hitch took about an hour. The instructions were very clear and the hitch fit my 2013 MB GLK350 perfectly with no cutting or drilling required. Lining the bolts up took the majority of the time.
I used a jack to support the hitch which weighs almost 50 pounds.
This worked well.
There had been some discussion on the Benz forums about some hitches not fitting but the 87636 fit fine. Some of the fit issues evidently involved the forward bar not clearing the tire well protective pad but as you can see in the photo the hitch cleared it without a problem.
The etrailer people were great to deal with.
Still trying to locate a wiring adapter for the trailer lights.
Great product at an excellent price. I checked with a local dealer prior to ordering an the price was more then double. The boxe was in bad shape when it arrived, but the hitch was not damaged. Thanks again etrailer
Product is exactly as described and fit perfectly! The customer support was incredible. Just after ordering, I received a personalized email from the shipping team at etrailer describing when I could expect the shipment to happen and if I had any questions. Throughout the remainder of the process, I received another two or three personalized emails giving status updates and following up to make sure I was happy with the product and to see if I had any questions once they saw it had been delivered. By far the best online ordering experience I have ever had... I wish more companies could be like etrailer or that etrailer would expand their product offering to include things I needed to purchase more often. I have and will continue to recommend etrailer to friends and family. You cannot go wrong!!!
super simple installation, holds bike racks/pulls MC trailers with ease. Second purchase of the same rack (new car). Wiring not as difficult as expected, so all in all, win-win. 5 stars
I like the build quality of the hitch. The shipping box though had holes all over it from shipping. The receiver portion of the hitch punctured the box and was hanging outside of it. Looks like it got scraped and dinged on the flange of the 2” receiver. Going to install it tomorrow and see how it looks.
I installed this hitch bar in my MB GLK350 about a year ago and I am amazed of this product. First off the installation was very easy. Everything was map and cut perfectly to the specs of my car. I have used the hitch to tow a double seadoo trailer without any issues. Every sturdy metal bar. I would recommend this hitch bar to anyone
Solid hitch, easy to install. My 18 yr old step-son did it in 28 mins. (would have been less time if his father wasn't under there with him). Very good quality - will order again from etrailer in the future.

Zero Issues, I did a re-torque just to be proactive. Drove from MI to SC and back with cargo carrier installed no problem...Would still give it 5 Stars
So satisfied with this product I have to give it a perfect 5-star review. True to their promise, I didn't have to drill, cut, break or bend anything on my 2013 GLK 350. On their video, they have to put the vehicle on a lift to install the trailer hitch receiver. I did the installing in my garage. I used my GLK's own jack to lift it up in place, squeezed underneath the vehicle and line up the bolts through the holes. It was a pretty tight fit but I managed to do it with ease. I didn't have anyone help me but a little bit of patience is all it takes.
I ordered this hitch for my 2015 GLK350 and I was able to easily install it on my own with minimal tools. The available installation videos are succinct and exactly what one needs to get the job done. Using the provided hardware and connection points on my vehicle, there was zero drilling. I added a branded hitch cover and it looks like it belongs on my car.
Outstanding experience with etrailer! Researching and navigating the site was a breeze, the price was excellent, and the product arrived much sooner than I expected. All the components were
present, and looked brand new. Installation of the hitch onto my Mercedes GLK 350 was incredibly easy; there was also an outstanding video that details step by step installation instructions. (Not sure it was an etrailer production, but invaluable just the same.) The only recommendation I can think of is to suggest to customers to consider purchasing a wiring kit for tail light operations at the time of initial purchase. Hands down would recommend etrailer to anyone looking for equipment.
Ordering process was easy, and my hitch arrived within 3 days, even though I didn't pay extra to have it shipped faster. Very sturdy, looks great, and easy to install. I didn't install any wiring harnesses because we only use our hitch receiver to attach a bike carrier.
Read the included instructions and watch the online video before installing. I installed my hitch by myself without an extra set of hands. Extra hands would have made it easier, but it's not bad by yourself. The video suggests attaching the front mount first, then raising the rear into position. I found it easier to do the opposite - attach the rear first, then raise the front into position. Final torquing of the nuts and bolt was a little challenging, especially the rear mounts, as the exhaust hanger brackets don't leave much room for your torque wrench.
Product appears to be perfect; however, not yet installed. Prior eTrailer hitch (DrawTite) for our Toyota Highlander worked out quite well, so I didn’t have any apprehensions about ordering again. I do wish the packing had been safer. The box arrived highly damaged, and there was only some loose kraft paper inside to “cushion” and restrain the hitch. I was concerned that the contents might have been compromised and/or shorted with the hitch bouncing around inside the box (it contained several parts of the order), but all was OK.
High quality trailer hitch. Bolt-on installation. Cannot go wrong with this hitch. Instant shipping and delivery.
Follow the instructions and this is easy to install. I did it myself using a jack to support the hitch under the vehicle. Make sure you have a torque wrench and a 3/4 socket that is not too long. the bolts require 75 ft/lbs of torque which is not a small amount.
Picture with bike rack installed.
Hitch showed up on time, as promised. Fairly simple install, just read the instructions, no holes drilled. I chose this hitch from Draw-Tite because of the poor reviews of the one from Curt. etrailer was very helpful and courteous when I called about a question regarding my order.
The hitch fits nicely, however, it's more of an hour job of installation. It takes some time to align everything and lift the hitch up with a jack. A second person to give you a hand would definitely speed things up.
Also, I was not able to torque all bolts exactly to spec due to the tight space. Planning on applying torque seal to the nuts to monitor any loosening.
Shipping was very fast!
Exactly what I needed. I shopped the usual online places, but then saw the etrailer.com videos. I would’ve bought a lot of frustration, but the etrailer recommended receiver & video worked great. If you don’t have an oil change pit, or car lift (like me), you can do the install from the floor (if you can slide under a GLK :-)) And you can do it by yourself if you follow the advice to tape the bolt heads.
Great instructions, easy to install, you just need a 3/4” socket and 75 ft-lb torque wrench, use your car jack to lift up the hitch, bolt it down. Took over an hour by myself!
I am extremely pleased with this product! The fit & finish were excellent and installation took about 40 minutes. It was a straight bolt on with no drilling needed at all.
It took me maybe one hour to install it by myself without even having to lift the car off the ground. The item is a bit heavy for a one man job but it's doable.
I was really impressed with how fast they shipped it to me: I've placed the order at 6:51pm central time and the item was shipped the same day. Great customer service.
Quality product and service, straightforward insulation with no alignment issues.
Takes a few hours without help and with a vehicle that’s needs to be wired.
Good hitch frame and fits my 2013 Mercedes GLK350 4Matic well. Contents included the frame trailer Hitch, the metal plates, screw, bolts and nuts.
Due to an issue where I realized while towing that one nut and bolt was somehow missing I would recommend that you make sure whoever installs this substitutes the original nuts for locknuts or usw loctite on thw bolts to keep the nuts from loosening during driving potentially vibration.

The hitch hardware is typically stored in the hitch receiver when it is shipped. I recommend making sure that the nuts are torqued down according to the manual recommendations. It is a good idea to check periodically that the hardware remains tight.
