if anybody has installed a towing hitch on their wagon, I'd appreciate any info you can provide as to where to get one, etc.

My car is a 95 E320.

Thanks.

Mercedes-Benz does manufacture an original trailer hitch for almost all of their cars. It can be factory ordered OR post-factory installed at any time (your E 320 T should be ready to have the system installed). See picture below for the post-factory kit. Sorry, but my catolog do not list any specific part numbers.

I bought a Curt hitch from JC Whitney. It's a class 1 hitch.You can download the installation instruction either from Whitney's or Curt's website. Cost me $210 w/shipping IIRC.

This hitch is NOT available in the USA from Mercedes.

Due I suspect to USA liability concerns, the only vehicles Mercedes supports in USA for trailer towing are the ML, GL, and G.

I bought one for my 1986 300E from a place on Cape Cod several years ago, but never installed it. I would be happy to get it out of my garage for a nominal sum. Email me if interested.

I have a hitch that came from a '93 300E. It also has the electrical connector. I am in NC. It would be expensive to mail as it is heavy.

I built one from a Jeep Wrangler hitch. It is a class two and tucked up real nice and neat under the bumper. It will truly handle 3500 lbs. and will last forever.

They typically wouldn't put a tow rating on an engine, but rather on a car, and that number should be in your Owner's Manual.

I looked all over the owner manual but no clue yet?
