How to Select a Trailer Hitch
Match hitch class to the door sticker and the live card before you shop a heavier trailer than the vehicle can honestly tow.
Watch on YouTubeShopping a trailer hitch for a Mercedes-Benz E-Class in Canada? Start with the door-sticker year, then open CURT 11454 when the badge is a listed E300 or E400. That Class 1 hitch uses a one and one quarter inch receiver for listed two thousand seventeen through two thousand nineteen E300 years and listed two thousand seventeen through two thousand eighteen E400 years on the live card. Bike racks and light utility are the usual ask when the Mercedes sticker agrees. Confirm ratings on the live product card. Canada orders often ship free on qualifying baskets, so confirm the cart note before you check out.
Shopping a trailer hitch for a classic Jeep TJ Wrangler in Canada? Start with the door-sticker year on this short-wheelbase Jeep, then open CURT 13408. That Class 3 hitch uses a two inch receiver for listed one thousand nine hundred ninety-seven through two thousand six TJ and Wrangler years on the live card. Utility trailers, light off-road gear, and cargo carriers are the usual ask when the Jeep sticker agrees. Confirm ratings on the live product card. Canada orders often ship free on qualifying baskets, so confirm the cart note before you check out.

Watch on YouTubeCURT 11454 is a Class 1 hitch with a one and one quarter inch receiver path that names listed Mercedes E300 years from two thousand seventeen through two thousand nineteen and listed E400 years from two thousand seventeen through two thousand eighteen on the live card. That is the late-teens E-Class window we lead with for this badge.
CURT 11701 is a second in-stock Class 1 path that names listed early E-Class and E320 years from two thousand three through two thousand nine on the live card. Open that card when the door sticker sits in that older band. Confirm the live title still lists your exact year before you mix eras.
A CURT card for two thousand ten through two thousand sixteen E-Class years exists in the catalogue, but it is not storefront-available on this shelf today. We will not invent a cart path for that middle window until the live product returns available equals true.
Class 1 hardware suits bike racks and light utility when the Mercedes sticker and the live hitch card both agree. Confirm gross and tongue ratings on the live product card. Your door sticker still sets the ceiling. Dedicated E-Class trailer wiring is thin here, so plan lights only from a harness title that still lists your year.
