Amount of Drilling and Appearance after Installation for Curt Hitch on a 2015 Mercedes GLK 250

Published 07/08/2016

Question:

Can anyone comment on the amount of drilling needed to install this hitch? I am leasing my 250 and am nervous about how much damage MB might assess me for after I give the vehicle back. I would really appreciate it if someone could post some afterfoot pics to show me what the hitch looks like once its on and how visible it is. Thanks so much!

There really isn't much drilling required to install the Curt hitch part # C13155 that you referenced on your 2015 Mercedes GLK 250. If you check out the picture I took from the install instructions you can see the section (with pictures) that detail how and where the drilling takes place. It's a plastic piece that gets drilled and not anything metal like the frame.

I also attached a second picture that shows what the hitch looks like installed on a similar Mercedes as yours as well.

For more info on the install check out the install instruction link I attached as well.
