Hitch for 2021 Mercedes-Benz GLE AMG 53 SUV Towing Trailer
Updated 01/05/2026 | Published 09/19/2024
Question:
Hi there, I read your reply to the above message about compatibility to 2023 GLE AMG53. Can the same product be advised for a 2021 GLEAMG53? We’re looking to purchase an airstream caravel/caravan to tow. Appreciate your advice.

Hello Sunita; the same is true for your 2021 Mercedes-Benz GLE AMG 53 SUV. You will need the Stealth Hitches Hidden Trailer Hitch Receiver w/ Towing Kit # SH57GR since you're planning on towing. It has a max gross trailer weight of 8,000 lbs so even the largest Caravel floor plan won't be a problem for the hitch. Make sure you check the towing capacity of your vehicle since you are limited by whichever is lower.

Hey Sunita, how did things go with the Stealth Hitches setup on your 2021 GLE AMG 53? Did it handle the Airstream Caravel the way you hoped? Your update could make it easier for others planning a similar tow setup.
