However you define adventure -- whether it's climbing onto the back of a mountain bike, hunting from the top of a tree stand or camping with the family a long way from nowhere -- CURT class 1 hitches provide a light-duty towing receiver to help you Bring It. Each is made to fit a specific vehicle, providing easier installation, a better fit and optimal towing capacity. Custom class 1 trailer hitches are available for a variety of smaller vehicle types, including the compact car, crossover, minivan and small SUV. This particular class 1 hitch is designed to be a custom hitch for certain years of the Mercedes-Benz E320, E350, E500. E55 AMG, E550 and E63 AMG (to verify vehicle compatibility, see the CURT application guide at curtmfg.com). Tested in accordance with SAE J684, it offers a weight carrying capacity of 2,000 lbs. GTW and 200 lbs. TW. It is equipped with 1-1/4" receiver tube opening to accept a ball mount shank or other hitch mount. This class 1 hitch also comes with all necessary mounting hardware. With its lightweight design and smaller receiver tube size, a class 1 hitch is especially useful for adding cargo space with a hitch-mounted bike rack or cargo carrier. They can also typically be used to tow small trailers such as a utility trailer, kayak trailer or teardrop camper (never exceed the lowest weight capacity of any towing component; i.e. the vehicle, hitch, trailer, etc). Though CURT class 1 trailer hitches are only intended for light-duty towing, we apply the same principles of quality as we do to the rest of our rear mount hitches. Each class 1 hitch is made with hands-on engineering, high-strength steel and precise welding. We use a co-cured finish of liquid A-coat, inside and out, and durable black powder coat to provide a lasting defense against rust, chips and UV rays.
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

Yes, the 2007-2009 Mercedes-Benz E550 All Class 1 Hitch, 1-1/4" (Part #CHD-11701-003) is designed to fit the 2007-2009 Mercedes-Benz E550.
The 2007-2009 Mercedes-Benz E550 All Class 1 Hitch, 1-1/4" (Part #CHD-11701-003) Refer to the included instructions for installation details. Basic hand tools are typically all you need.
Part number 11701 is designed for Mercedes Benz E Sedan and Wagon models, excluding the Sport Edition. If your vehicle is a Sport Edition or a different model year or variant, this hitch may not be compatible. Contact Curt technical support at 877-287-8634 to confirm fitment for your specific vehicle.
The hitch has a gross load capacity of 2,000 lbs. trailer weight and 200 lbs. tongue weight when used as a weight-carrying hitch. However, you must not exceed your vehicle manufacturer's recommended towing capacity, which may be lower. Always follow your vehicle's specifications.
The hitch is designed for use with Curt ball mount part number D-55001 or 45501. Use only these approved ball mounts to ensure proper fitment and safety.
Yes, the spare tire must be removed. The installation instructions specifically require you to clear the trunk well by removing the tire before beginning installation.
The battery does not need to be disconnected. Step 1 instructs you to move the battery as far left as possible without disconnecting the power cables. Keep the battery connected during installation.
Yes, drilling is required. Step 4 instructs you to drill remaining mounting holes using the hitch as a template. The hitch is fastened to the bumper tubes with U-bolts first, then additional holes are drilled for 3/8" hardware installation.
Step 2 requires you to unbolt the fascia tabs from the vehicle body. These are factory-installed trim pieces on the bumper area that must be removed to access the bumper tubes for hitch installation. They are unbolted (not cut or trimmed) and can be set aside during installation.
The kit includes: 2 flat washers (3/8"), 4 U-bolts (3/8-16 x 3.44 x 5.00), 2 hex head cap screws (3/8-16 UNC, 1-1/2"), and 10 serrated flange nuts (3/8-16 UNC). All hardware is grade 8 zinc-plated steel.
All fasteners must be torqued to 45 lb.-ft. This applies to the U-bolts, hex head cap screws, and serrated flange nuts used to secure the hitch.
1. Clear the trunk well by removing the spare tire and moving the battery as far left as possible without disconnecting cables. 2. Unbolt the fascia tabs from the vehicle body. 3. Fasten the hitch to the bumper tubes using the U-bolts. 4. Drill the remaining mounting holes using the hitch as a template, then install 3/8" hardware through the drilled holes. 5. Torque all fasteners to 45 lb.-ft.
All non-trailer loads applied to the hitch must be supported by auxiliary stabilizing straps. Failure to properly support non-trailer loads will void the product warranty. This applies to any cargo or equipment that is not a trailer.
Periodically check the hitch to ensure that all fasteners are tight and that all structural components are sound. Regular inspection helps maintain safety and warranty coverage.
