Connect to your lifestyle with a custom hitch receiver from CURT. All of our custom hitches are designed for a vehicle-specific fit, manufactured with pride, finished for industry-leading rust resistance and tested to rigorous SAE J684 standards for safety. This class 1 trailer hitch and ball mount combination is designed for a custom fit on select years of the Mercedes-Benz C230, C240, C280, C32 AMG, C320, C350, C55 AMG, CLS500, CLS55 AMG, CLS550 and CLS63 AMG (see application info to verify fitment). The hitch integrates with the vehicle’s frame and provides a useful and dependable 1-1/4″ x 1-1/4″ receiver. The receiver is perfect for attaching the included ball mount and towing a small trailer, or for adding cargo space with a hitch-mounted cargo carrier, bike rack or other accessory. This particular class 1 hitch is rated for 2,500 pounds gross trailer weight and 200 pounds tongue weight (never exceed the lowest-rated towing component). The ball mount included with this trailer hitch quickly and easily installs into the hitch receiver and has a 3/4″ trailer ball hole (trailer ball not included). It can be mounted in the rise or drop position to promote level towing. Like all CURT custom hitches, this class 1 hitch is protected with our co-cured finishing process. It is descaled for a smooth surface, immersed in liquid A-coat for rust resistance inside and out, covered with a durable black powder coat and finally co-cured for an industry-leading rust, chip and UV-resistant shield. No matter where you’re headed or which season of the year you’re towing in, this CURT hitch is equipped for long-lasting resilience to the elements. It features an open-back receiver for easy cleaning, and it comes with all the hardware necessary for the installation.

Ordered this item as it is the only hitch receiver available for a 2003 C-Class Mercedes. Kinda pricey but Amazon was the best price I could find on it. Having only a limited mechanical know-how, I was a bit itimidated about the installation as it required bumper removal and drilling holes into the bumper and frame. Had to have it though so I dove in.This hitch is obviously a quality made product. Although the intructions were a bit vague, I still figured it out in less than 3 hours. It does require cutting into your steel bumper (about 1″ square or 1 1/4″ circle) to allow access to set the bolts. It also requires drilling 7/16″ holes into the cross member frame and the hardened steel bumper. Don’t even start this project unless you have the ability to cut the access hole and the drill/drillbit that will allow you to drill a hole into steel.Luckily I had all of the tools necessary and intstallation was actually easier that I expected. Once properly mounted, it is secure and works great. It is hardly noticeable as it sits about 1/4″ below the bumper cover.

2003 C240 Mercedes Curt Hitch was perfect and looks great on my car. The installation instruction were a bit vague but with the right drill bits I was able to put it on. If you want some pics email me at michael.moreno0120@gmail.com
