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 E300, E350, E400 and E450 (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.
CURT offers a variety of high-quality trailer hitches and accessories for select vehicle models. Find the perfect fit for your towing needs at TowUniverse.

Yes, CURT part 11454 is designed for 2017-present Mercedes-Benz E300 sedans. Verify your vehicle matches this specification before purchasing.
The CURT 11454 is rated for a maximum of 2,000 lbs trailer weight and 200 lbs tongue weight. You must never exceed your vehicle manufacturer's recommended towing capacity.
The CURT 11454 is designed for use with ball mount #45521. Euro mount options are available: #45571 (1 7/8" ball) and #45572 (2" ball).
Required tools: ratchet, torque wrench, 6" socket extension, E12/8mm/10mm/11/16" sockets, T25 and T40 torxbit sockets, power drill with 1/2" drill bit, die grinder, aviation shears, masking tape, marker, and safety glasses.
The kit includes: 4× 7/16-14 UNC 1-1/4" grade 8 carriage bolts (part 10-10281), 4× 0.250 x 0.88 x 2.25" square hole spacers (CM-SP2), 4× 7/16-14 UNC grade 8 serrated flange nuts (part 20-00103), and 4× 7/16" fishwires.
Two people may be required to ease installation. The installation is rated as moderate to challenging difficulty. If you are hesitant to undertake this task, contact an authorized CURT installer or call technical support at 877-287-8634.
Installation requires: temporary removal of exhaust tips (6 bolts total, 3 per tip), lowering of the exhaust system (4 bolts and 2 rubber isolators), removal of heat shields (4 nuts, 2 bolts, 2 screws, and 1 metal clip per side), and trimming of heat shields (4" x 8" section per side). All components are reinstalled after hitch installation.
Yes. You must drill two holes (one on each side) using a 1/2" drill bit through the frame rails. The hitch's rear-most hole aligns with an existing frame hole to mark the forward-most hole location. After drilling, the slotted hole must be enlarged to 1.125" using a die grinder.
A 4" x 8" section must be trimmed from each heat shield using aviation shears. Mark the section with masking tape before cutting. The heat shields are then reinstalled using the original hardware.
All 7/16" hardware (carriage bolts and flange nuts) must be torqued to 59 ft-lbs. This is the final torque value applied after the hitch is fully positioned and fasteners are initially loosened.
The slotted hole must be enlarged to 1.125" using a die grinder. Verify that the provided bolt head will fit through the hole before proceeding with installation.
1. Remove exhaust tips (T40 torxbit). 2. Lower exhaust (E12 socket, remove rubber isolators). 3. Remove heat shield fasteners (8mm, 10mm, T25 sockets). 4. Trim heat shields (4" x 8" section, reinstall). 5. Drill frame holes (1/2" bit, align using rear-most hitch hole). 6. Enlarge holes to 1.125" (die grinder). 7. Feed fishwires with bolts and spacers through holes. 8. Raise hitch, feed fishwires through hitch holes, loosely fasten nuts. 9. Torque all 7/16" hardware to 59 ft-lbs, reinstall exhaust.
Fishwire is used to guide the 7/16" carriage bolts and CM-SP2 spacers through the enlarged access holes in the frame rails. The bolts and spacers are threaded onto the fishwire, then the fishwire is fed through the holes. Once the hitch is positioned, the fishwires are removed and the fasteners are secured with flange nuts.
Safety glasses must be worn at all times during installation. Read all instructions thoroughly before beginning. If you are hesitant to undertake this task, contact an authorized CURT installer.
All non-trailer (wheel-less) loads applied to this hitch must be supported by CURT 18050 stabilizing straps. Failure to properly support non-trailer loads will void the product warranty. For further information, see the CURT catalog or visit www.curtmfg.com.
Periodically check the receiver hitch to ensure all fasteners are tight and all structural components are sound. This ongoing maintenance is essential to safe operation.
The manual states to periodically check the receiver hitch to ensure all fasteners are tight and all structural components are sound. Specific intervals are not provided; consult your vehicle manufacturer's maintenance schedule or contact CURT technical support at 877-287-8634 for recommended intervals.
