Hitch Mounted Bike Rack?
Has anyone ever fitted a trailer hitch to a C300 sedan for a bike rack? There are a few companies that claim they can install a trailer hitch (which involves cutting a piece out of the rear diffuser), but I haven't found any pics of one that was actually installed. I'm also curious to know how much ground clearance there is with a hitch installed. I would like to avoid using a trunk mount or stuffing my muddy bike in the trunk with the seats folded down.

Thanks

MB C300 hitch installed picture- my unused one for sale?
I purchased a hitch that I was going to install myself, but then got a great hitch/ install price from uHaul, so I went that route instead.

I will sell for my cost $75 + you pay for shipping. Still in box, unopened. It's ~30lbs (?), local pickup is ideal, I'm in SoCal orange county.


Shipped box- unopened.

Autozone receipt showing hitch p/n. you can verify fit on Autozone website.

Installed hitch- looks great, very discreet.
