no, yopu cannot use a trailer hitch on this car because if you look underneath it you will see that there is nowhere to bolt it to. sorry, you should have bought a truck.

You may have to look at european websites, etc. to find what you are looking for. Maybe our euro parts guy Steve can be of some help for you. There are parts available in Europe that are not over here.

The best hitch is on your friend's ride. Nice thing about a Merc, it is easy to find a volunteer to swap cars for the day. You might want to search old posts, there was a SoCal coupe with a custom hitch on it. Please post if you find one. Even with a hitch, I'm not sure how well these cars would tackle a boat ramp. My SVO sucked, stop reversing before your tires are in the water. Get a trailer with an extended neck. Fly a Hobie! Long live Huma Huma triggers!

Good point

When I take my Wave Runners to the lake, I end up submerging the rear tires of my Tacoma or my wifes Expedition when I drop them in the water. I can see the exhaust of the coupe drowning pretty quiclky if you tried it.......

Hitch

I'm looking to get a hitch attached to my C320 for my mountain bikes because I don't like the noise of the roof racks and I know I'll forget I have bikes on the roof when going through my garage.

I called UHaul and they said they have hitches that can attach to the E320 or CLK320, not C320, but they still may fit. I should've asked if they could fit the C240 or C230. I'm going over to UHaul this week to see what they can do.
