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 Infiniti QX30, Mercedes-Benz GLA250 and Mercedes-Benz GLA45 AMG (see application info to verify vehicle compatibility). It provides a weight carrying capacity of 4,000 lbs. GTW and 600 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)
Uses pre-existing vehicle hardware for installation

The CURT 13197 is rated for a maximum of 4,000 lbs trailer weight and 600 lbs tongue weight when used as a weight-carrying hitch. However, you must never exceed your vehicle manufacturer's recommended towing capacity, which may be lower than the hitch rating.
Required tools are: safety glasses, screwdriver, torque wrench, ratchet, 9-inch socket extension, 6mm, 8mm, 10mm, and 16mm sockets, T30 and T40 Torx bit sockets, and aviation shears. A second person may be helpful to ease installation.

Yes, trimming is required. The exhaust heat shield must be trimmed around the lower portion of the hitch to avoid contact. The approximate cutout dimensions are 1.25 inches by 4.50 inches. Some models also require trimming of the rear fascia as shown in the trim diagram. All dimensions are approximate; confirm fit prior to trimming. Use aviation shears for trimming.

All M10 bolts must be torqued to 37 lb-ft. This applies to the bumper mounting bolts after the hitch is aligned and loosely fastened for fit check.
The manual specifies to reuse existing factory hardware. This includes the M10 nuts on the inner panel for bumper mounting (8 total, 4 per side), and the M6 bolts for the exhaust heat shield (6 total). All removed fasteners should be set aside for reassembly.
Yes. Apply a bead of RTV silicon sealant around the frame openings prior to installing the hitch. This is done after removing the bumper and before aligning the hitch on the bumper.
The removal order is: (1) exhaust tips (4 Torx bolts), (2) exhaust hanger bracket (2 M10 bolts), (3) tail lights (plastic wing nuts or M10 bolts depending on model), (4) plastic brackets supporting rear fascia (4 M10 bolts), (5) exhaust heat shield bolts—loosen but do not remove (6 M6 or M8 bolts), (6) rear wheel well trim pieces (unclip), (7) rear fascia (release press-in tabs or unclip sensor plugs), (8) bumper (8 M10 nuts).
