It took longer than I expected to get it installed, but was worth the effort. My goal was something that would not detract from the appearance of the vehicle and tuck up as close as possible.



by:

Outstanding service. Paula was excellent. Paula had patience with me and helped me from start to finish getting the right item for my vehicle.
Plenty of knowledge, also took me through the installation portal. You got a good one there, you need to keep her.
Thanks



by:

Very well made hitch. Fit exactly to vehicle. Fishing the one bolt on driver side was a bit of a challenge, but doable. I do question the torque values for the longer bolts at 70 ft-lbs. Started to bend the plate on end of hitch as it neared this value on the outer bolts.

Package got there on time and per expectations. Great value for the dollar. Excellent instructions.



by:

Great item very easy to install still looks great 1yr later. Just make sure after a few uses go back and re tighten the bolts I had developed a small squeak that's how I found out but it quite now.

  • Does Curt Hitch # C13142 Have Capacity to Tow Small Boat or Jet Ski Trailer
    Yes, the Curt Class III hitch part # C13142 would have the capacity to tow a PWC or small boat trailer. It has the capacity for towing up to a 5,000 lb trailer which means as long as you stay under that figure you'd be good.

  • Easier to Install Trailer Hitch Recommendation for 2012 Mercedes GLK350
    You basically have two options for a trailer hitch for your 2012 Mercedes GLK 350. The easy to install and slightly more expensive Draw Tite part # 75774, or the slightly cheaper but much more difficult to install Curt # C13142. For the marginal cost difference and the much easier install I would go with the Draw Tite part # 75774. Which the price of this is right on par with what most hitches cost. To get some perspective you might check out the cost of the Mercedes hitch for your vehicle...

  • Trailer Hitch Receiver And 4-Way Wiring Harness For a 2010 Mercedes GLK 350
    For your 2010 Mercedes GLK 350 I recommend the Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver # 75774. This receiver is much easier to install than the Curt # C13142. It has a tongue weight rating of 350lbs for your Yakima Cargo Box # Y62VR. I recommend the ZCI Circuit Protected Vehicle Wiring Harness # 119250KIT for the 4-way flat wiring connection you need for the Rola cargo box. This kit will not require you to splice into your factory tail light wiring like other kits. It uses sensors...

  • Will Curt # C13142 Fit a 2013 Mercedes-Benz GLK Series With the New Bumper
    My technical contact at Curt told me that hitch receiver # C13142 will fit your 2013 Mercedes-Benz GLK providing it it a 350 model and is a standard stock model. They do not have a fit for the special edition GLK models that Mercedes-Benz produces. This hitch will not fit the GLK250 diesel series. One point of consideration is that Curt requires the use of stabilization strap # 18050 if you are planning on carrying either a bike rack or cargo carrier. The other hitch option for your vehicle...

  • Trailer Hitch Recommendation for a Bike Carrier on a 2011 Mercedes GLK350
    For your 2011 Mercedes GLK350 the Draw-Tite hitch # 75774 and discontinued Hidden Hitch model 87636 are going to be identical (except for the name). The installation of these 2 hitches takes less time and thus installation is easier than the Curt hitch # C13142 which uses different attachment points on the vehicle. Based on the options I recommend trailer hitch #75774 which also happens to be the most popular option for GLK350 owners. I have linked the installation instructions for you. This...
