Trailer Hitch and Wiring for a 2015 Mercedes GLE 350  

Updated 04/11/2016 | Published 04/06/2016

Question:

Im looking for a trailer hitch for my gle 350. However, since its the newer version of the ml 350, Im not sure if the trailer hitch for the ml would be compatible. Can you provide a recommendation for a trailer hitch that would fit the gle?

Expert Reply:

From what I could find the 2015 Mercedes GLE 350 is still on the same platform as the 2015 ML-Class so the hitches for the ML, such as # C13117, will fit your GLE.

If you plan on doing some towing I recommend etrailer ball mount kit # 989900. It comes with 2 ball mounts; one with a 3/4 inch rise or 2 inch drop and one with a 2-3/4 inch rise or 4 inch drop. It also includes a 1-7/8 inch ball, 2 inch ball, hitch pin with clip, and a storage bag.

If the ball mount kit does not have the right rise or drop to tow the trailer level, use the link I have included that explains how to measure to choose a ball mount to tow the trailer level.

And for trailer wiring you can use # 119250KIT. This harness does not require any splicing into the vehicle wiring. It will provide a 4-Way flat connector to the rear of the vehicle.
