The wiring was ready to go including a new rear SAM control module to handle the trailer lighting and accept trailer brake controls.
It doesn't get much better than that.
Where is "down the road motors" going to connect the trailer lights with a aftermarket hitch? All I can say is watch out for warning lamps when
you plug in the trailer.
There is no OE hitch for the 251 R Class in the USA. Only 463 G, 164 ML and 164x GL have the option.

I'm taking delivery of a GL450 in the next day or 2, and would like to be able to hook an electric brake controller up. This is a very recent build vehicle with the factory installed Trailer Hitch. The Dealer does not seem very receptive to my inquiries about having them install the controller. Any recommendations on a specific controller for these vehicles, and a good place to have the work done in the Washington DC / Baltimore area?
TIA,
David
