The trailer hitch receiver I recommend for your 2017 Mercedes-Benz GLE 350 is the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C13294.
This is the only hitch for the GLE 350 that fits whether or not you have the Active Curve System and it gives you a 2 inch receiver so you can choose from a much wider variety of higher-quality bike racks compared to a hitch with a smaller, 1-1/4" receiver.
I have added a link to our entire selection of bike racks as well as a link to the installation instructions for you of the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C13294.

I need a hitch receiver for a 2017 Mercedes-Benz GLE43 AMG Coupe with the Active Curve System. Curt item C13294 shows it is compatible with this vehicle WITHOUT Active Curve System. My installer recommended this part. Can you confirm that it will work with the listed vehicle WITH Active Curve System? Thank you in advance for your response.
