Expert Reply:

For your 2011 Mercedes E350 Sedan the only hitch we have available for it is the Curt Hitch part # C11001. This hitch has a 1-1/4 inch opening like you mentioned. 2 inch hitches are typically reserved for larger vehicles like SUVs and trucks.

The only solution I have for you would be to get this hitch and then also upgrade to a bike rack and cargo carrier confirmed to fit this hitch size.

The most popular bike rack we carry that has been confirmed to fit this vehicle is the Swagman XTC2 Bike Rack part # S64670. This rack has a ton of positive reviews from our customers who have tried it. Check out the review video I attached for more info.

For a cargo carrier you would want the Reese Cargo Carrier part # 63155 and a compatible light kit # 20174 if your cargo blocks your vehicle lights. This is a 20 X 47 inch carrier, with side walls and a mesh floor. It weighs 44 pounds. . Check out the review video I attached for more info.
