Did you ever get a resolution to your towing needs? I have a similar situation with a 2011 C300 Sport 4 matic and would like to tow a wave runner, it seems that there are hitches available for up to 2010 but I haven't seen anything for 2011 models (although they look pretty much the same to me)

The hitch for U.S. Spec w204 should work for models 2008-2011. The only change is in 2012 they have the minor facelift, although, I would suspect that it would still work as the change is very minor and doesn't seem to effect the rear. But you never know until someone tries it.

C300 Class 1 trailer hitch found at Autozone for W204

So someone started this thread years ago and I came here hoping for info, but there was nothing listed. I found a Class 1 hitch at Autozone online for $188.99 plus tax. It is a bolt on and requires some drilling, but supposedly will install in about 30 minutes. I will use it to transport my 64 lb ebike probably with a simple motorcycle carrier which I may order soon from Amazon. I drive a white 2011 C300 Sport 4dr.

not sure if they offer anything for your model, but check out StealthHitches.com. They offer hitches for my GLC and my E series. Good for bikes. Not sure about jet skis.

Thank you. I did check out Stealth Hitches, but they don't cover my year (2011), only 2015-2021. I like the stealth part though.

Try etrailer.com I bought the hitch for a non-MB vehicle and purchased the wiring harness from the vehicle maunfacturer as it was plug-and-play. The combination of the two was a good solution. They do have hitches and harnesses for the C class.
