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 E320 in Canada? Start with the door-sticker year on this older E-Class sedan, then open CURT 11701. That Class 1 hitch uses a one and one quarter inch receiver for listed two thousand three through two thousand nine E-Class and E320 years on the live card. Older E320 generation focus is the reason this page exists beside the broader E-Class guide. Modern E300 and E400 shoppers stay on that E-Class 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.
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.

Watch on YouTubeCURT 11701 is a Class 1 hitch with a one and one quarter inch receiver path. On the live storefront title the card lists two thousand three through two thousand nine Mercedes E-Class and E320 years. Gross trailer weight on the live card is two thousand pounds with two hundred pounds tongue weight. Your Mercedes door sticker still sets the ceiling. We are not inventing a two inch Class 3 path for this older sedan carton.
Older E320 generation landers are why this page exists. Live E320 year pages from two thousand three through two thousand nine already return on this store, so those are the year links below. Late-teens E300 and E400 shopping stays on the existing Mercedes E-Class hitch guide with its own live Class 1 card. Do not mix the older 11701 era with the late-teens E300 or E400 shelf just because both say E-Class on the badge.
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.

Parts-counter summary: older E320 shoppers start with live CURT 11701, confirm the sedan year on the live fitment even when the storefront title also names broader E-Class wording, match one and one quarter inch accessories, link only the live two thousand three through two thousand nine E320 landers, and open the main Mercedes E-Class guide when the question is late-teens E300 or E400 rather than this older E320 generation.
