What tow hitch for 2002-2007 G55?
I've read through a few threads regarding tow hitches for the 463 and it looks like right now there are only 2 options for a 2003 G55:
https://www.curtmfg.com/part/13318
https://www.g-wagenaccessories.com/products/oem-type-w463-trailer-hitch-receiver-g-class-mercedes
Neither of them specifically say whether they will fit a G55 AMG, just that they will fit either G500 or W463.
Anyone have any experiences with these or any other ones they can share like ease of install and pros/cons? I read that fourbyfourclub carried one at one time but the links appear to be dead to theirs. Thanks in advance

For the record, I bought the Curt and installed it. The 4 bolts on the top are tough to thread unless you have small hands or remove the rear bumper. Installed and it works great

In the same boat. Looking to add a hitch to my 2008 G55.
Found a motorcycle I want, but don't want to drive it 8hrs home as its been sitting and don't want to blow cash on renting a truck/trailer combo.

I just came across this one, and a reviewer put it on his G55.
Just checked avails for a motorcycle trailer in Portland, to no luck. Got quoted $750 to ship the bike I'm looking at door to door. For that I'd rather get the hitch install light controls and do the transport myself.

Just went and ordered this hitch,
$110 and it's from a local shop in California.
https://www.ebay.com/itm/143475977565
Says it only fits G500s, but looking at my G55 all the mounts are the same.
Could not convince myself to buy the $700 OEM or the reproduced unit on g-accessories.
Will report back after the installation.

After a lot of searching, and not wanting to splice wires on my truck, decided to bite the bullet on the plug and play harness from G-Accessories
https://www.g-wagenaccessories.com/p...m-2002-to-2012
I've re-wired tons of cars, trucks and motorcycles and really want to keep this truck's wiring in tact.
