Mercedes-Benz GLC Trailer Hitch Buyer’s Guide (Canada)

Shopping a trailer hitch for a Mercedes-Benz GLC in Canada? Match the generation and badge first. On this store we list CURT 13290 for earlier GLC300 and GLC43 AMG years on the product card, and CURT 13477 for later GLC300 years through 2023. Both are Class 3 hitches with a 2 inch receiver, and both are in stock today. Wiring is thin on this shelf, so we will say that plainly instead of inventing a harness.

What we stock for the GLC

CURT 13290 is the Class 3 hitch we list for earlier GLC years on the product card, including listed GLC-Class, GLC300, and GLC43 AMG applications in the windows CURT publishes there. It uses a 2 inch receiver and installs as a comparatively approachable job on that card, so still budget a careful afternoon rather than a rushed driveway guess.

CURT 13477 covers later GLC300 years that CURT writes as 2021 through 2023 on the product card, plus a 2021 GLC-Class note. Same idea: Class 3, 2 inch receiver, vehicle-specific fit. Both hitches are active and in stock on Lots of Parts today.

2021 shows up on both cards depending on how CURT wrote the application. Read the live year list on the product page for your exact badge before you add anything to the cart. We do not list a GLC-specific custom four-flat harness on this shelf today. Hitch-side numbers still lose to Mercedes published tow and tongue limits for your trim.

These are the Mercedes-Benz GLC hitch year pages we publish today. Confirm badge and year on the product card before you buy — especially around the 2021 overlap.

Honest gaps and shopper notes

Generation

Two live hitch cards

13290 for earlier listed years, 13477 for later GLC300 years through 2023. Do not mix them just because both say Class 3.

2021 overlap

Read the card

Both product pages mention 2021 depending on badge. Use CURT’s year list, not a guess from a forum photo.

Wiring

Harness not listed

Trailer lights still matter. Without a GLC custom four-flat on the shelf, ask support rather than splicing blind.

Ratings

Vehicle limit wins

Even with a Class 3 tube, Mercedes tow and tongue numbers for your trim still win — especially on AMG packages.

Step 1Open your year

Use the landers above when they match your GLC door sticker and badge.

Step 2Pick 13290 or 13477

Read the year list on the live product card before you add anything to the cart.

Step 3Plan wiring honestly

If we do not list a GLC harness, use the wiring guide or ask support.

Step 4Set the ball mount

Match a 2 inch shank and set drop so the trailer sits level on Canadian roads.
