Bike Rack for GLS
Hello Guys, Please suggest a hitch mount bike rack for 2 adult road bikes and 2 kids bikes. I'm more interested in the swing away type rack for ease of opening the hatch when needed without dismounting the bikes. Thanks in advance!

I recently purchased this one, https://www.yakima.com/fullswing
It's very easy to attach, carries 4 bikes and swings away with the bikes loaded.
No regrets.

I didn't opt for Hitch on my custom order 2013 GL450 and I regretted that decision every single day for last 3 yrs. I'll never do that mistake again
Factory option:$550
Dealer installed: $1500 (will take out bumper, tap wiring and stuff..... NO THANKS)

I looked at the Thule 9031Xt but wasn't impressed. For me the Yakima is a better package. I ended up getting $100 off because the shop told me they had it in stock and I drove 30mins to pick it up only to be told it wasn't.

MBWorld Fanatic!
If you don't need trailer wiring - then U-Haul will install a Curt GLE hitch for under $350.
The factory hitch is the BEST bargain - but if you need to add a "dead hitch" to a GLE - like for bike rack - the U-Haul option is fine...
Keep the beat !

Ordered Yakima fullswing from Rackattack for $423, looks like they are authorized dealer. No deal of Amazon, store I usually prefer.
