I have a 2011 E550 4door sedan. There is a towbar/hitch for the 2011 e550 coupe or convertible but not the 4 door. I really need a towbar/hitch that can tow about 1300lbs and am having absolutely no progress in finding a place that has one or will create one. I see there is a European hitch but has anyone had experience installing one of these here in the US? Does anyone know of a vendor to buy a hitch for this car in the US?

I installed a Curt Hitch on my E350 however I have no idea if it will work on a E550.

I had to drill two ~1/2in holes in the rear crash support/bumper and fish a bolt with a metal plate from the back side, between the bumper cover and the actual bumper. Lastly there is a metal bar running under the spare tire compartment to the rear sub frame ,which mounts with 4 bolts. I use it for a bike rack and towing a jet ski. Cost me only $135 with a Euro style hitch ball.
