Question:

I am planning on taking a hitch for my 2015 GLK250, and need to be absolutely sure that it will fit easily, without any drilling or welding. Please let me know ASAP.

Expert Reply:

There is one trailer hitch that fits the 2015 Mercedes GLK250. It is Curt trailer hitch # C13155. But this hitch does require drilling for installation. There aren't any no-drill options. I have included a link to the instructions so you can see how the hitch installs. There is no welding required.

If you decide to go with this hitch and will be doing some towing the recommended ball mount is # C45030. For a 1-7/8 inch ball use # 19260, for a 2 inch ball use # 63845, and for a 2-5/16 inch ball use # 63847. For a pin and clip use # PC3.

And for trailer wiring I recommend the new Curt harness # C59236. It will provide a 4-Way flat connector at the back of the vehicle. I have linked a review video for you.

If you will be using the hitch for an accessory such as a bike rack or cargo carrier Curt says you have to use stabilization strap # 18050 when using this hitch for any non-trailer load (such as a bike rack or cargo carrier) per their warranty requirements.
