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.

Shopping a trailer hitch for a Mercedes-Benz E400 in Canada? Start with the door-sticker year on this E400, then open CURT 11454. That Class 1 hitch uses a one and one quarter inch receiver. The live storefront path covers listed two thousand seventeen and two thousand eighteen E400 years on a shared carton that also names E300, E350, and E450 wording on the product path. E400-named landers are why this page exists beside the broader E-Class guide and the E300 guide. Bike racks and light cargo 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 E400 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. E400 shoppers usually land on Class 1 one and one quarter inch hardware on the shared 11454 carton with E300. Do not invent a second SKU just because the lander says E400.
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 E400 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 and two thousand eighteen Mercedes-Benz E400 years and shares the same carton with E300, E350, and E450 wording on the product path. Gross trailer weight on the live card sits around two thousand pounds with two hundred pounds tongue weight. Your Mercedes door sticker still sets the ceiling.
E400-named landers are why this page exists. The live two thousand seventeen and two thousand eighteen E400 year pages already return on this store, so those are the year links below. Broader E-Class shopping still belongs on the existing Mercedes E-Class hitch guide. Modern E300 landers stay on the E300 hitch guide that already uses this same 11454 carton. Shared E300 carton honesty means you do not invent a different SKU for the E400 badge when the live card already covers both.
Class 1 one and one quarter inch hardware suits bike racks and light cargo 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.
