The correct trailer hitch receiver for your 2021 Mercedes E450 wagon is the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C11454. Installation is not extremely difficult, but it does require some drilling and slight modification. I attached the instructions link for you to check out; if installation looks like it will be too much for you to tackle, then I recommend going to the hitch product page and click on "Locate Installers Near Me" to find a shop that can take care of the installation for you.

Also, keep in mind that you will need to use Curt Stabilizer Strap # 18050 for non-trailered loads such as bike racks. If you don't have a bike rack yet then I would check out the Kuat Beta Bike Rack # B202-114. This is a very good quality 2-bike carrier that is easy to install and use. One last thing to mention is that if you plan to transport oddly shaped bikes such as children's bikes, women's bikes, or step-thru bikes, then you will need to use an adapter bar such as # UB01. I attached demonstration videos for you.
