CURT parts for the 2005 Mercedes-Benz E500
A Class 1 hitch puts a bike rack or a small cargo carrier behind your 2005 Mercedes-Benz E500. CURT 11701 is a Class 1 hitch with a 1-1/4 inch receiver, rated to 2,000 lb gross trailer weight and 200 lb tongue weight, $683.01 CAD. Shipping is free anywhere in Canada.
CURT calls the install a novice job, about 30 minutes with hand tools, and the main body tucks up behind the bumper so only the receiver shows.
A hitch is the receiver only. If you're pulling a trailer you'll need a wiring harness for the brake and turn signals, and the wiring guide walks you through four-flat and seven-way.
