Whatever your task at hand -- whether it's launching that boat before daybreak, setting up your camper before the rush or getting a final load to the dump before close -- CURT class 3 trailer hitches offer the strength needed for serious towing. They make it easy to hitch up and Bring It, offering a vehicle-specific fit and the weight capacity to handle a variety of trailers. Custom class 3 hitches are the most common type of receiver hitch for pickup trucks and SUVs. Because of their weight range, they are also found on full-size cars, crossovers and minivans. Each custom-fit class 3 hitch package is made for vehicle-specific mounting. This particular kit fits certain years of the Mercedes-Benz ML320, ML350, ML430 and ML500 (see application info to verify vehicle compatibility). It provides a weight carrying capacity of 3,500 lbs. GTW and 350 lbs. TW. CURT class 3 trailer hitches are typically used to attach and haul utility trailers, boat trailers, campers, snowmobile or ATV haulers and more (NOTE: Never exceed the lowest-rated towing component). Each class 3 hitch has a 2" receiver tube and is tested in accordance with SAE J684 for safety. To ensure that CURT class 3 receiver hitches have what it takes for serious trailering, they are designed using a hands-on approach and are constructed with rugged, high-strength steel and precise welding. We also protect our class 3 hitches in a co-cured finish of liquid A-coat and black powder coat for superior resistance to rust, chipping and UV damage.
Trailer hitch weight ratings are limited to vehicle manufacturer's stated capacities
Not compatible for use with vertical hanging bicycles (bike racks that require the bicycles to be hung / mounted vertically)
Includes installation hardware

The manual specifies a gross load capacity when used as a weight-carrying hitch, but the specific capacity values are not printed in this version of the manual. Contact Curt Manufacturing technical support at 1-877-287-8634 for the exact towing and tongue weight specifications. Always verify that the hitch capacity does not exceed your vehicle manufacturer's recommended towing capacity.
No. The manual explicitly states "NO DRILLING REQUIRED." The hitch uses existing weldnuts in the bumper beam for fastening.
You must temporarily remove: (1) the plastic bumper fascia, (2) the large center door, and (3) both smaller left and right doors. This exposes the fascia mounting screws, which must also be removed. If your vehicle is equipped with an outboard spare tire carrier, temporarily remove the tire and mounting brackets as necessary.
The kit includes: (1) four M14×1.5×50 mm hex head cap screws (HHCS), class 10.9, part number 10-10546; (2) four lock washers, 9/16 inch, part number 30-00194; and (3) one 0.375 inch spacer plate, part number CM-13018-SP. The spacer plate is used only if your vehicle has a spare tire bracket mounted on the bumper beam.
Install the spacer plate between the hitch and bumper only if your vehicle is equipped with a spare tire bracket mounted on the bumper beam. If your vehicle does not have this bracket, the spacer plate is not needed.
Torque all hardware to 136 lb.-ft. (184 N·m). This applies to all four M14×1.5 hex head cap screws.
All non-trailer loads applied to the hitch must be supported by auxiliary stabilizing straps. The manual does not specify a weight limit for non-trailer loads, but failure to properly support them with stabilizing straps will void the product warranty.
No. The manual explicitly states: "DO NOT EXCEED VEHICLE MANUFACTURER'S RECOMMENDED TOWING CAPACITY." Even though the hitch has its own load capacity, you must never tow more than your vehicle's manufacturer recommends.
Periodically check the hitch to ensure that all fasteners are tight and that all structural components are sound. The manual does not specify an exact interval, but regular inspection before towing is recommended.
Contact Curt Manufacturing technical support at 1-877-287-8634. They can answer installation questions and provide guidance specific to your vehicle.
