Trailer Hitches
Only install a trailer hitch receiver approved for your
vehicle. For information on availability and installation,
please see your authorized Mercedes-Benz Light Truck
Center.
The bumpers on your vehicle are not designed for use
with clamp-type hitches. Do not attach rental hitches or
other bumper-type hitches to them.
To reduce the possibility of damage, remove the hitch
ball adaptor from the receiver when not in use.
Electrical connections
The vehicle is prewired to accept the seven-wire harness
included in the Mercedes-Benz approved trailer hitch
receiver kit. An additional four-pole conversion plug is
included in the Mercedes-Benz supplied trailer hitch
receiver kit. For further information, please see your
authorized Mercedes-Benz Light Truck Center.
In order to prevent possible damage to the vehicle’s
electrical system by incorrectly installing the trailer
wiring plug, we recommend having the harness
connected at an authorized Mercedes-Benz Light Truck
Center.
