Features to know about

Haul Gear and Bikes with Confidence: Class III Strength and 2" Receiver

This hitch is built for real-world use—towing small trailers, carrying heavy cargo trays, or loading up with multiple bikes. Rated for 7,000 lbs gross trailer weight and 700 lbs tongue weight, it’s strong enough for everything from travel trailers to utility hauls. The 2" x 2" receiver opening fits most standard accessories like ball mounts and racks without needing adapters.

Built to Last Through the Miles: Fully Welded, Corrosion-Resistant Construction

The square-tube steel body is precision welded for strength and consistency. A gloss black powder coat finish is layered over a rust-resistant liquid Bonderite coating, protecting every surface inside and out. Whether it’s rain, salt, or road grime, this finish stands up to corrosion and keeps the hitch looking clean.

Simple DIY Setup: Custom Fit and Bolt-On Design

You don’t need special tools or a lift to get this hitch installed. It’s engineered for a custom fit to the frame with no welding required. The bolt-on design aligns with existing mounting points for an easy driveway install and a secure connection you can trust on the road.

Clean Look Under the Bumper: Concealed Main Body

Once installed, only the receiver is visible while the main body stays tucked away for a factory-style appearance. The open-back receiver also makes it easy to keep clean after hauling through mud or grit so your hitch stays clear and ready for the next job.

Mine was a custom install, so it is a bit different. I ordered this for a W166 Bluetec ML 350. It is not meant to be installed in the diesel because of the location of the DEF tank at the rear. My 2012 model no longer utilizes this tank so I removed it to fit this hitch. Even removing the tank guard cover will not be enough clearance for your hitch, the entire tank must be removed. Another issue is the muffler/exhaust. The gasoline and diesel exhaust systems are designed differently and the diesel muffler will not fit into its recess with this hitch installed. My solution was to remove the rear section of exhaust pipe and muffler, cut off 1-1/2 inches from the forward end and re-install. It clears everything now and fits perfectly! This has gone from a simple install to a more involved project, but it fits well and looks great! The Curt hitch arrive in good condition with packing that protected it from the torn box. The welds on the gussets are prefect. The black coating is perfect. I wish there was still a diesel-specific hitch produced. These vehicles were discontinued in 2016 but are fantastic!

One year later and the hitch has worked fine. Zero issues. Word of advice: After a couple months from your initial install, get back under the vehicle and re-tighten the bolts. Vibration can sometimes work them loose, not always but occasionally so its a good safety practice to check.

The 3rd Trailer Hitch we have bought from etrailer!!
Great products and service, at a good price.
With trailer hitches on our SUVs they are so much more useful.
Would recomend etrailer anytime

I was amazed how fast this shipped. Shipping was free and I received the hitch in three days after I ordered. This hitch looks very nice on my 2015 ML350. It was a perfect fit. Doesn't stand out / takeaway from the vehicle appearance. Installation took me about 3 hours. Installation was not difficult. Youtube videos were helpful. I would definitely recommend this company and this model of hitch to others.

Your product appears well built. Unfortunately, you fail in the shipping department. When I received the product, the left part of the weldment was sticking out of the shipping box unprotected, about 6 or 8 inches. Being exposed and unprotected allowed it to be scratched on the edge and gouged about 6" from the edge. I examined the welds and didn't see any damage so we'll see if it holds up. It needs end protection. It's obviously moving around inside the box. The weight of the product plus the unrestricted movement will quickly rip through your shipping box.

This is the 3rd custom hitch I have purchased from etrailers. When you find a company that sells a quality product at a competitive price, why would you go anywhere else?

Bought this hitch about a year ago. Took it to a mechanic who installed it since that is not my thing. It is a great hitch.

Do you have a question about this Trailer Hitch?
  • Comparing Available Hitches for a 2015 Mercedes Benz ML350 4matic
    Typically most trailer hitches that fit on the same vehicle will have only subtle differences, like whether or not the cross tube is round or square, or whether the cross tube is concealed behind the bumper or not. The Curt # C13411 and the Draw-Tite # 76141 are both 2" hitches that will install in the exact same manner, so there isn't any real difference between the two. With that said, I do recommend going with the Curt # C13411 since Curt hitches do have a much more durable powder...

  • Will the Curt Hitch C13411 Fit a 2012 Mercedes Benz ML350 Diesel If I Remove the Def Tank?
    Hey Brian! I know the Draw-Tite item # 75774 won't work but if you can get that DEF tank off, the Curt item # C13411 should work. I checked with Curt and this hitch is custom fit for the 2012 Mercedes Benz ML350 with the only exclusion being the diesel models. I have linked the installation instructions below so you can compare the pictures and steps to what you see when you remove that tank.

  • Is There A Trailer Hitch For The 2013 Mercedes-Benz ML350 Bluetec?
    Hello Silvio, thanks for reaching out. The hitches that we offer for the 2013 Mercedes-Benz M-class, the Curt # C13411 and the Draw-Tite # 76141, will only fit gasoline models. Since your ML350 Bluetec is a Diesel, these hitches will not fit. Unfortunately we do not offer anything for the Diesel models at this time. Your only option would be to take a Universal Weld-On hitch like the Curt # 15903 and have a professional welder fabricate something to fit.

  • Will The Aftermarket Hitches For A 2018 Mercedes GLE 350 Be Inferior To A Factory Mercedes Hitch
    From what I could find out, your 2018 Mercedes GLE 350 has a maximum towing capacity of 7,200 pounds. With that being said, the Curt # C13411 and the Draw-Tite # 76141 will not get all the way to your vehicle's max capacities, but will come very close. The 7,000 pound towing rating and the 700 pound tongue weight are accurate and will be what both of these hitches are rated up to. With your boat and trailer having a combined weight of 3,500 pounds, both of these will work perfectly. However,...

  • Recommended Hitch for a 2012 Mercedes ML350
    Hey Andrew. Sorry but we do not have a Stealth Hitch that's going to fit your 2012 Mercedes ML350. The only option I have to install a hitch on your SUV is the Curt item # C13411. This is a custom fit class III hitch with a 2" receiver. It has a 7,000 lbs towing capacity and a maximum tongue weight of 700 lbs. Please note that the Curt Hitch item # C13411 will not fit the models with a diesel engine or the Active Curve system. What do you plan on using a hitch for? You can add this...

  • Solution for Trailer Hitch on 2015 Mercedes-Benz ML400
    The Curt # C13411 only fits the ML350, GLE350, and GLE43 AMG. Unfortunately, none of the major manufacturers make a hitch for the 2015 Mercedes-Benz ML400. What you can do is take the # E17 to a local fabricator and have them fashion a custom hitch for your vehicle.

  • Availability Of Trailer Hitch For 2012 Mercedes-Benz S350
    Hello Steve, thanks for reaching out. Sadly, we do not offer a trailer hitch for the 2012 Mercedes-Benz S350. If you need to carry cargo with your vehicle, we will need to look at alternative options like a trunk mounted bike rack # Y02637 or a roof rack such as part # Y24TB, both of which are confirmed to fit the 2012 Mercedes-Benz S350.

    The only trailer hitches for the 2012 Mercedes ML350 BlueTEC are Curt trailer hitch # C13411 and Draw-Tite # 76141. These are a fit as long as you do not have the Active Curve System. They are moderately easy to install. I have included a link to the installation instructions for you. Once installed basically only the receiver will be visible.

    We have trailer hitch fits for a 2012 Mercedes-Benz ML350 (excluding if you have the Active Curve System), but the part number you mentioned is OEM and we don't carry OEM parts. It doesn't look like that part is even available anymore but for an aftermarket hitch use the following: - Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C13411 Just keep in mind this won't fit if you have the Active Curve System or a diesel engine.

  • Parts Needed To Tow Airstream Caravel FB22 With 2013 Mercedes ML350
    Hey Paul! To tow that Airstream you will need a hitch, wiring, and brake controller. For the hitch I recommend the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C13411. This matches the 7k towing capacity of your vehicle and has a bolt-on installation. Does your vehicle have a factory wiring port at the rear? If it does, you can use the TowSmart # TS37QR. It will match up with the rectangular connector pictured below. If you don't have this connection, you will need to add the Curt # C59236 for a 4-way...

  • What is Active Curve System of 2015 Mercedes ML350 for Picking Out Trailer Hitch
    The Mercedes Benz Active Curve system is a feature of the vehicle that basically stiffens or softens the sway bars of the vehicle to match the needs of the vehicle as it is cornering to combine the best comfort and handing possible. Our hitches like the Curt # C13411 that you referenced do not fit with this feature present.

  • Comparing Curt Trailer Hitch C13411 and C13294 For 2017 Mercedes-Benz GLE43 AMG
    You are correct that both the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C13294 and # C13411 are confirmed to fit your 2017 Mercedes-Benz GLE43 AMG. Both hitches have a hidden crosstube meaning that only the receiver itself will be visible once installed. I do however recommend the # C13294 as it has a slightly higher tongue weight rating at 750lbs, and a slightly higher trailer weight rating at 7500lbs. For wiring you will first need to install a 4-way connector using # 119250KIT. With a 4-way...

    The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C13294 is confirmed to work with your 2018 Mercedes GLE350 with Active Curve. I reached out to Curt and they assured me that this will work. This hitch is not rated for a weight distribution hitch. If you feel that you may need or want that in the future use Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C13411. This kit is rated for a faster install (only 1 hour compared to 2) but will require more trimming than the standard hitch. If you also need wiring for lighting...

  • How to Transport 4 Bikes on 2015 Mercedes ML 350 Using Hitch and Hitch-Mount Bike Rack
    We can help you with options for carrying your four bikes on your 2015 Mercedes-Benz ML350. However, the reason you could find no 4-bike trunk racks is that very few such carriers exist; we offer none and the reason why is that a 4-bike trunk-mount rack would simply place too much weight on that rear hatch (or on the trunk of a sedan) and would put some parts of a car at risk.
