I am looking to get a trailer hitch on my g55 and was wondering if any other forum members might have a picture of how it looks.

Not a G55AMG, and bumpers vary, but here is one.

Thanks a ton! Great pics. Not the sexiest thing in the world to have a hitch, but when you need one...

I have a 2011 G550. What are my opinions when it comes to trailer hitches? Is there any difference in trailer hitch that is pictured here vs the one that would fit mine? I can't imagine any change, but I thought I'd ask.

MB used to make a hitch for the G and it was a factory option. I was able to buy and install the hitch on my G, it worked great! In 2010 I believe, it was removed as an option and the existing OEM hitch would no longer fit due to MB changing the rear underside of the truck, adding a plate as protection for the gas tank. From then on, no hitch is available for the G. A $100K+ SUV that can't tow. Kinda sad given its military/utilitarian origins.

There is an aftermarket hitch that was designed and engineered with the blessing of MB. Tain't cheap. See here:

That is amazing Dutch! I didn't know it existed. Dang, Renntech eh? Pricey, but it should definitely work!

This is the exact one I've been using and has been doing its job perfectly!

Can you post a photo of what that one looks like on your G?
