Installation Instructions for EcoHitch Stealth Trailer Hitch Receiver on 2024 Mercedes GLS450
Updated 12/22/2025 | Published 10/12/2024
Question:
Could you send me the installation instructions for the EH55SR. I would install on a Mercedes GLS 450 2024 model. I have installed hitches before, but I want to make sure I can take on the project with this car and have the right tools. Thanks

Hi Jon; a lot of the EcoHitch instructions aren't listed online so I will have to send you the instructions for the # EH55SR in a separate email. Since this is the style that removes and replaces the bumper cross member it is pretty extensive, but it's definitely doable if you don't want to pay someone to install it.

Hey Jon, were you able to go through the EcoHitch instructions for your Mercedes GLS 450? I'm curious how the install went since that cross member replacement can be a big step. Your update could make it easier for others tackling the same hitch.
