Currently the only trailer hitch that we have available for your 2010 Mercedes-Benz ML350 BlueTEC is the Class III Curt Trailer Hitch # C13102. This trailer hitch is rated for up to 3,500 lbs towing and 350 lbs tongue weight so you need to make sure that you don't exceed these ratings.

This is still an excellent option that can be used for non-trailer applications as long as you use a support strap like part # 18050 per the Curt warranty.

If you plan on doing some towing with this trailer hitch then you also need some wiring and a ball mount kit. I recommend going with the Tekonsha ZCI # 119250KIT for wiring because it gives you a 4-Way Flat connector for the trailer lights, installs without splicing into your OEM wiring, and pulls power directly from your battery via the included power wire.

Then for a ball mount kit I recommend the etrailer.com # 989900 which gives you both a 1-7/8" and a 2" hitch ball plus 2 ball mounts that give you either a 3/4" rise/2" drop or a 2-3/4" rise/4" drop. I have attached a helpful article about ball mounts that you want to check out to ensure that this kit has the correct ball mount for your application.
