Question:

Hi, What is your recommendation for a hitch for 2011 Mercedes GLK350 two-wheel drive? Search on your website returns three models. They probably all fit, but I wanted to double-check. Are there any differences between the three suggested models? I plan to use the hitch for mounting a bike rack. Thanks!

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 hitch and all of the hitches for your GLK350 have 2 inch receiver openings so the bike carrier you choose needs to be compatible with a Class III trailer hitch with 2 inch receiver. I have included a link to the bike carriers we have that are compatible.
