2009 GL-450 Trailer Hitch

Looking to find out if anyone knows of aftermarket hitch or if MB sells hitch. It seems vehicle must come from factory with factory installed hitch?

You should get the factory hitch installed by Mercedes dealer. The GL electrical system is light years beyond the comprehension of those at "hitch stores" and aftermarket would be asking for trouble.

Unfortunately, while this is a $550 option factory installed, dealer retrofit will push $2000. This is typical of Mercedes--get it from the factory or you'll be sorry.
