Stealth Hitch
I ordered a Uhaul hitch (made by Curt) for my 2016 GL450 and it looks nothing like the picture so I am sending it back. It looks clunky and I would lose 4" - 6" of ground clearance when off roading. I am trying to order a Stealth brand hitch but the menu does not list the GL. Has anyone ordered and installed a Stealth hitch on their GL? With the ball mount removed is there any reduction in clearance?

Thanks for your reply. I did see that, and it also says 2013 -2015 and I have a 2016. I don't know the differences between model years for example a 2013 GL and my 2016 GL.

It's still an X166 chassis, take a look in the forums... Your actually in the wrong area 
this for the GL models up to 2012.
This is technically your forum:
https://mbworld.org/forums/gl-class-x166-173/ 2013-present
But they changed the model name from GL to GLS in 2016, same chassis just a facelift inside and out...

so pretty sure that hitch will work physically, perhaps a call into them to make sure the electrical is the same ?
