Hitch with Best Ground Clearance for a 2012 Mercedes ML350

Published 11/12/2015

Question:

Im looking for a hitch for my 2012 Mercedes ML350 gasoline, not Bluetec. Looks like for my vehicle you are offering the Curt 13117 , the Hidden hitch 87653 and the DrawTite 76024. I am looking for the version with the highest position for the 2inch receiver = least visible. Would you have photos of each hitch installed on my vehicle model, or at least a diagram showing the dimensions/height installed? thanks,

The three hitches you referenced are all confirmed as fits for your 2012 Mercedes Benz ML350. The Hidden Hitch and the Draw Tite are basically the exact same hitch as they are made by the same company.

I attached a picture of the Curt part # C13117 as that is the only one we have a picture of installed. You can see that there is a bit of a distance between the rear fascia of the vehicle and the hitch opening. The Draw Tite and the Hidden Hitch have their hitch opening up higher. You can tell by looking at the hitch opening in relation to the mounting brackets.

The Draw-Tite # 76141 would be your best option since you want the highest hitch we offer.
