Question:

I don't plan to tow, just going to use for bicycle rack, so I don't need ball mount & hitch ball right?

The item you selected, Curt Class III Trailer Hitch, part # 13342, is the hitch I would recommend for your 2006 Mercedes Benz ML350. This is a Class III Hitch, with a 2 inch receiver that is compatible with most accessories such as cargo carriers or bike racks. This is the highest rated hitch available for your 2006 Mercedes-Benz ML350 for towing.

In addition to part # 13342, you may need the following to complete your towing setup:

Ball Mount part # C45010,
Pin and Clip part # PC3,
Hitch Ball part # 19260, or part # 19247 (The hitch ball size will depend on the trailer coupler size.)

Currently there is not a wiring kit available for your Mercedes-Benz ML350, you will need to acquire a wiring kit from the Mercedes-Benz Dealership and have them install it.

You are correct, you will not need a ball mount or hitch ball if you are just using a bike rack. A bike rack I would recommend is the Kuat Aluminum, Hitch Mounted 2 Bike Rack, part # NV22G. This bike rack uses wheel mount cradles to keep bikes secure and also features a tilting action to allow you to access the hatchback without removing the bike rack or bikes. Part # NV22G, also has a built in bike stand that holds a bike while you perform any maintenance needed on the bike. There is also a built-in cable lock to keep bikes safe and secure. I have linked a video review of the Kuat Aluminum, Hitch Mounted 2 Bike Rack, part # NV22G below.
