2021 GLA Trailer Hitch?
Since the 2021 GLA is all new I'm having trouble finding a trailer hitch for it.
Anyone know of a trailer hitch that's available now or how long it usually is before they make them for new models?

Id' give Curt Manufacturing a call and confirm that the hitch I installed successfully on my 2015 GLA250 fits your 2021 OK. But you can check it out at

If you want to haul a trailer with a light hookup, you'll need one of their Taillight Converter Units -- again check with Curt, but I believe it may be unit 56496 or 56146. I installed a similar unit on my previously-owned GLK350 with good success. (You can't just hook directly into the existing taillight wires 'cause the lights are PWM -pulse with modulated.) I only wanted to haul a bike rack so I did not install a converter in my GLA.
