GL320 CDI

Trailer Hitch Option

Hello. I've been trying to find an alternative solution to a dealer installed hitch for my GL320CDI. I am not hung up on having it tied to the sensor for the stability system. Any ideas? I searched the threads and didn't see anything that I can use. Thanks in advance.

I had MB install hitch after I got my GL. For some stupid reason it didn't come installed for 495 and had to pay 2k to get it ... Oh well, can't win'em all and at least they did a beautiful job...

ANYTHING you might get should be engineered for the load you intend to tow (MAX, not average) and, unless your tow is very light, telling the stability system it is there is IMPORTANT. The difference could save your life or that of someone who owns the car after you.
