Mercedes GLK350 Trailer Hitch Buyers Guide (Canada)
A hitch turns your GLK350 into the one that takes a bike rack, a cargo carrier, a utility trailer or a small boat. CURT builds two hitches for the Mercedes GLK350 from 2010 to 2014, Class 3, rated 3,500 lb to 3,500 lb, from $445.64 CAD with free shipping anywhere in Canada.
Your year decides the part. Find it in the table, open the year page for the exact hitch, price and wiring, and you're done in a few minutes.

CURT parts for the Mercedes GLK350
Wiring, ball mount and the rest
A bike rack needs nothing but the hitch. A trailer needs lights, and CURT 56236 ($103.98 CAD) is the four-flat harness that plugs into the GLK350's factory connector for 2010 through 2011 and 2013 through 2015. No cutting, no scotch-locks.
Then a ball mount sized to the receiver: CURT 45836 ($41.70 CAD) drops straight into a 2-inch receiver. Pick the drop or rise that keeps the trailer level, and match the ball to the coupler. The ball mount guide covers both in two minutes.
Canadian winters eat hitch hardware. Salt and brine get into the receiver and the trailer plug, so a smear of grease on the pin, a cap on the receiver and a rinse under the bumper in spring keep a CURT hitch looking new for years. The rust and salt care guide has the full routine.
Mercedes GLK350 hitch questions
Which CURT hitch fits my Mercedes GLK350?
It depends on the year. CURT 13177 is the newest, for 2013 through 2014, and the table above matches every other year to its part. Open your year page and the exact hitch, price and wiring are on it.
Can I put a bike rack on a GLK350 with this hitch?
Yes. The 2-inch receiver takes any 2-inch rack, and a loaded rack counts against the hitch's tongue weight (525 lb on CURT 13177), so a four-bike platform rack with bikes on it is well inside the limit.
Can I install the hitch myself?
Most owners do. CURT rates CURT 13177 a novice install, about 45 minutes with hand tools and a jack. The install video above is the real job, uncut.
How much can a GLK350 tow with a CURT hitch?
The hitch is rated from 3,500 lb to 3,500 lb depending on the part, but the GLK350's own tow rating in the owner's manual is the ceiling. The lower of the two numbers is your limit, every time.
