for a trailer hitch for an MB. Would like to put one on one of the 190D's to pull my little fishing boat. Boat and trailer are under 500 pounds, don't need anything elaborate, class I, light duty.

Thanks,
Jim

Have you tried E-bay?

Jim,

Try U-haul. If they have one, they will instally it for if U want.

Google produced this: http://www.etrailer.com/products.asp?model=190+Class&category=hitch&year=1984&make=Mercedes-Benz&t1=&h=e&image1.x=12&image1.y=4

From a little research, it seems that Da'Lan is the only aftermarket manufacturer. Pretty common brand and probably available locally. I would be very cautious about who installed it. I have seen the handiwork of some real butchers.

But it may be a bit far for you.

And it looks like this:

5 speed '91 190E 2.6 320,000 mi. (new car, fast, smooth as silk six, couldn't find any more Peugeots)
5 speed '85 Peugeot 505 2.5l Turbo Diesel 266,000 mi. (old car, fast for a diesel, had 2 others)
5 speed '01 Jetta V6 (new wifes car, pretty quick)
5 speed '85 Peugeot 505 2.2l Turbo Gas 197,000 mi. (wifes car, faster, sadly gone just short of 200k )
5 speed '83 Yamaha 750 Maxim 14,000 mi. (fastest)
0 speed 4' x 8' 1800 lb Harbor Freight utility trailer (only as fast as what's pulling it)

I have ordered one from www.etrailer.com; pricey piece of tin, $100 more than the class II that I ordered for the bride's Buick. Also ordered a nifty light module; takes trailer light power directly from the batt, saving the oh so sensitive wiring harness on the MB.

Have no fear of a butcher job installation, will do it myself.
