That IS cheap. Careful, I can't imagine the same hitch working on a wagon and sedan......

Pictures shows a receiver hitch but the description is of a fixed drawbar. Has anyone seen a picture of the hitch they are selling? Is it just a bumper hitch or does it attach to anything else? It must be a bumper hitch since the same part number is used on a LOT of different vehicles.
I'd like a receiver hitch for my 85 300TD.Here's one, but it's not cheap: http://search.cartserver.com/search/search.cgi?MakeList=makes%2Fmercedesbenz.xml&keywords_1=Mercedes+Benz&ModelList=300TD&keywords_2=300TD&YearList=1985&keywords_3=1985&cartid=s-1547&bool=AND&category=l_drawtite_search&maxhits=20

I'm almost certain that is a generic picture and not a picture of the actual hitch. The picture is of a receiver hitch but the description is of a fixed drawbar.

It's another generic picture. Look at the hitches with other part numbers for other vehicles and the picture is the same. They don't show that part number as fitting a Mercedes.

No its the same part number for all of them. Since its bumper mounted I'm guessing the load has more to do with bumper construction. I'm betting this is the correct one as Amazon is on top of things. Also this was the only one I found that didnt have the exact same pic as all the others.

If you get it, let me know how it works. I'm definitely in the market for the hitch for the wagon.

there is no way that only weighs 7 lbs. that is not the product that they are selling, just a pi. they are probably selling a cheap bumber hitch that i wouldnt tow a tricycle with. the first post's link states that it is a fixed drawbar, therefor the pics are wrong.
