Frequently Asked Questions
Will this bolt directly to my ML without drilling holes?
Yes—these mount at factory rocker and frame reinforcement points specific to the ML chassis. No frame modification needed.
Do I need to buy a ball mount separately?
The hitch assembly is the receiver tube only. You'll need a 2" ball mount (sold separately) to tow. Most drivers keep a standard ball mount in the receiver and swap carriers or racks as needed.
What's the weight capacity?
Refer to your vehicle's service manual for exact tongue weight and trailer rating—capacity varies slightly between ML320, ML350, ML430, and ML500 models. This hitch is engineered to match your model's OEM towing spec.
