Question:

Ive noticed you state that part # C13190 fits GLs from 2014 to present. However, that generation of GLs started in 2013, not 2014. The 1st generation GL was from 2006-2012, and the current generation is 2013 to present 2018. I own a 2013 GL450 and would like to purchase the C13190 hitch as it allows for a 7500# tow rating versus the 3500# for the hitch C13102 you recommend perhaps in error? for the 2013. If the generation started in 2013, is there another reason the C13190 hitch doesnt work until the 2014 model year? 2014 is the 2nd year of that generation GL. Thank you!

I checked with Curt and if its a 2013 with one muffler that runs left to right on the vehicle its the # C13190 or if its 2013 with 2 mufflers that run front to back its the # C13102.
