Can Weight Distribution System Be Used with 2015 Mercedez-Benz GLK-Class

I may have a solution for you, however there isn't a trailer hitch available for your 2015 Mercedez-Benz GLK-Class that is rated for use with a weight distribution system. When this happens it typically has just as much to do with the vehicle than with the hitch itself, as trailer hitch manufacturers try to line up hitch specs and restrictions with the vehicles they are designed to fit. Most likely the rear of your Mercedes simply can't handle the type of tension/force that a weight distribution system would put on it.

For a trailer hitch on your Mercedes-Benz I recommend the Draw-Tite Class III # 75774 if you have the GLK350 or the Curt Class III # C13155 if you have the GLK250.

Then if you were primarily concerned with the sway control benefit of a weight distribution system you can still add a friction sway bar like the Curt # 17200. This will mount to the trailer frame and ball mount to help reduce any side-to-side movement on the trailer during travel by applying tension to the setup.

I have attached a short video review along with the written installation instructions that you can check out as well.
