Hey Peter,

We do have an option for a hitch and wiring kit for your 2024 Mercede-Benz GLE53 SUV, which is from Stealth Hitches:

- Stealth Hitches Hidden Trailer Hitch Receiver w/ Towing Kit # SH24GR

The # SH24GR gets you everything in one part, coming with a receiver for an accessory like a bike rack, a ball mount for towing, and a complete 7-way wiring set up. This is a really cool setup that allows you to remove the rack or ball mount when you aren't using them so your Mercedes completely retains its factory look.

Hi Peter, Do you have any other options other than the Stealth Hitch that fit a 2021 GLE 53 AMG SUV (non-coupe). I do not need the wiring harness. Thank you, Scott

@Scott We do indeed, Scott! The Draw-Tite # DT75GR is confirmed to fit your 2021 GLE 53 AMG SUV (non-coupe). It doesn't have a removable receiver like the Stealth Hitch, but it is a lot less expensive. We technically have the Hidden Hitch # DT64YR that does have a removable receiver like the Stealth Hitch, but as of right now (07/2025) it is on an extended back order and I can't say when it will be back in stock. What are you planning on using the hitch for?

@LazerS Thanks for the quick response. We are planning on using it for a bike rack only. Would this model also work? Part Number: TS38VR by oris
