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 YouTubeMercedes E300 Trailer Hitch Buyers Guide (Canada)
Shopping a trailer hitch for a Mercedes-Benz E300 in Canada? Start with the door-sticker year on this late-teens E-Class sedan, then open CURT 11454. That Class 1 hitch uses a one and one quarter inch receiver for listed two thousand seventeen through two thousand nineteen E300 years on the live card. The same stocked carton also lists two thousand seventeen through two thousand eighteen E400 years, which is why those landers appear below without a separate E400 twin page this batch. Modern E300 focus is the reason this page exists beside the broader E-Class guide and the older E320 guide. 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.
Parts-counter shortcut.
Read the door sticker, confirm your E300 year against live 11454, then shop one and one quarter inch mounts that match the tube.

Watch these CURT videos first
All four videos are from the official CURT YouTube channel (@curtmfg). Use them for class selection, install habits, wiring basics, and ball-mount height before you dig into the product cards below.
If an embed does not load, use the YouTube link under the card. Modern E300 shoppers usually land on Class 1 one and one quarter inch hardware on the live 11454 card for listed two thousand seventeen through two thousand nineteen years.
Trailer Hitch Installation Techniques
Confirm the live card still lists your year and configuration. Shared sheets are easy to mix up when sibling badges sit nearby.

Plan lights after the hitch. A four-flat or seven-way still needs a clean ground before the first night tow.

Match shank size to the live tube, then level the trailer with rise versus drop once the hitch is on.
Watch on YouTubeThe live hitch path for listed E300 years
CURT 11454 is a Class 1 hitch with a one and one quarter inch receiver path. On the live storefront title the card lists two thousand seventeen through two thousand nineteen Mercedes E300 years and also names listed two thousand seventeen through two thousand eighteen E400 years on the same stocked carton. Gross trailer weight and tongue weight still need a confirm on the live product card. Your Mercedes door sticker still sets the ceiling. We are not inventing a two inch Class 3 path for this sedan carton.
Modern E300 landers are why this page exists. Live E300 year pages from two thousand seventeen through two thousand nineteen already return on this store, and live E400 landers for two thousand seventeen and two thousand eighteen return as well, so those are the year links below. Broader late-teens E-Class shopping still belongs on the existing Mercedes E-Class hitch guide. Older E320 generation shopping stays on the existing E320 guide with its own live Class 1 card. We are not creating a separate E400 twin page in this batch.
Class 1 one and one quarter inch hardware suits bike racks and light utility when the Mercedes sticker and the live hitch card both agree. Dedicated trailer wiring still needs a harness title that lists your year. Confirm ratings on the live product card before you force a heavier setup than this Class 1 tube can honestly carry.

In-stock Class 1 shared carton for listed late-teens E300 and E400 years on the live product path. Primary one and one quarter inch path for E300 lander shoppers when the Mercedes sticker and fitment agree.
Open live 11454 product →Parts-counter note. Confirm E300 years on the live fitment before you cart. Older E320 years use a different live card on the E320 guide.

How to shop without getting lost
Step 1Read the door sticker
Find the Mercedes tow and tongue numbers for your E300. The hitch cannot raise that limit.
Step 2Confirm the late-teens year band
Open live 11454 and confirm your sedan year is still listed before you order.
Step 3Match the tube
Pins, mounts, and racks must fit the one and one quarter inch tube on this Class 1 path.
Step 4Leave older E320 on its own guide
Older E320 shoppers stay on the existing E320 guide with live 11701.

Why this page exists
Modern E300-named year pages already return on this store.
- E300 shoppers can stay on this guide
- Broader E-Class and older E320 shoppers use those guides
- We do not create an E400 twin page in this batch
Catalogue gap honesty
Era split
This page covers the late-teens E300 window on live 11454.
- We link live E300 landers plus live E400 landers that return
- Older E320 years stay on the E320 guide
- Confirm the live card still lists your exact year
Year pages that already exist
These Mercedes E300 year landers are already live, plus the live E400 landers that return today. We only link pages that return on this store.
Always confirm the live hitch card still lists your E300 year before you order. Year landers help navigation, but the live product fitment is the final check. We do not invent E400 landers outside the pages that already return on this store, and we are not publishing a separate E400 twin buyers guide in this batch.

Parts-counter summary: modern E300 shoppers start with live CURT 11454, confirm the sedan year on the live fitment even when the storefront title also names E400 wording, match one and one quarter inch accessories, link only the live E300 and E400 landers that already return, open the main E-Class guide for broader late-teens notes, and open the E320 guide when the question is the older generation rather than these E300 landers.
