Trailer Hitch

Does anyone have information on availability of a trailer hitch to fit the W205?

Nothing heavy only want to carry bicycles but not on the roof.

Thanks

Towing is not recommended in the US cars. Which means if there are drivetrain problems they might leave you on your own. Im sure that Uhaul will have something sooner or later that will fit. You certainly will not get one from MB.

I think MASCC300 gave the best option there. I'd use the need for a hitch as an excuse for another vehicle altogether.

A trailer hitch is a must for me, so I am disappointed that as of yet, there is no solution. U-haul currently does not offer a trailer hitch for 2015 C300, since no customer has come forward to volunteer their vehicle for a day at their Arizona facility.

I would have volunteered myself (and mind you, the reward is a free tow hitch installed and warranted for life), but I live too far away (Minnesota).

Subscribing to this post. I'm picking up my C300 today and will be looking for a hitch. I have no need to tow just have a bike rack. Hopefully something will be available soon, I really don't want to use a roof rack or last case option of a trunk mounted rack.

Decided to go the seasucker route and avoid mounting a roof rack or receiver. It fits perfectly on the back glass and rear window so I don't have to worry about any issues marring the paint. Good luck with the search for a receiver.
