Put on my boat company's etched stainless steel hitch cover the moment I brought the truck home.

I like the Giants one (#4). I am not a Giants fan but think sports team hitch covers are cool. I put a Dale Earnhardt #3 on mine. Probably the only MB with a GM hitch cover but I think it looks pretty cool (its black and chrome with some red accents)...........

You could always go for something practicle if you are using a roof rack or a cargo box - a hitch step. Check out the Rhino ones at http://www.gorhino.com/hitch-step-ma...step-main.html

New hitch cover

I think this one says it all. Notice the caution near the bottom!

Enjoy,

I love the company's quote of who is using this product... "Family members that have everything." Indeed!

I'm waiting for a response now from MBUSA about why there is not a trailer hitch accessory item for the SL. I told them I have this nice hitch cover from a GL and I want to use it on the SL. They told me they are routing my request to the proper department and I will hear from them shortly... the rep suggested I look into welding it to the frame with a certified welder from my MB dealer.

I will let you know Jim when I get a response...:-)

In the meantime, why not put your PhotoShop skills to use? Do a concept SL with this trailer hitch accessory. I have a feeling it will be a Babe Magnet.

Well I had the Hitch Cover welded to the back of the SL and although there is no trailer hitch, it at least provides the SL with a touch of the GL. At least I am not off-topic....

I like Nevada Jacks Cover on his SL. That is really cool, but since I am from Texas, I would be willing to send him an additional accessory a metal nut sack. Jack, Let me know if you want one. They are very common on pickup trucks in Texas. Never seen one on a Benz especially a SL.

I'll pass on that generous offer. Nish may have use for one though and he will even pay the shipping costs...

Hey Guys, As I mentioned in my previous post, I can get a special metal accessory for your GL or for Jack's SL. If you don't want a metal one, I found a website that sells ones where the nuts light up when you put on your brakes.

Having teenagers, I know that one meaning of "sick" is "really terrific." So that was one way I meant it. The other way was what most folks would say when faced with glowing *********. Not offended neccessarily, just commenting.

BTW, haven't they outlawed "truck *****" in some states?
