What size is your trailer Hitch on GLC? Confused

Even a class II bracket meets that max vehicle rating. Today the reciver size doesnt really mean much. My Subaru has a 2inch receiver but its max rating is 200lbs. The 2inch simply lets me use some older bike racks.
The rack weight + bikes weight and the lever effect of the rack given how far out the bikes hang all play into that max vehicle rating, not the hitch rating given the vehicle in this case has the lower weight rating regarding tongue weight.

I wonder whether the electrical connector for a trailer is a 4-pin or 7-pin? I would like to install an aftermarket trailer brake controller, which I believe requires a 7-pin connection socket.

That's pretty narrow. That makes it hard to use with most products out there, which are made to fit the standard 2" hitch receivers...

HI, Guys,
I paid 575 for a trailer hitch on GLC. I assumed that it had a 2 x2 hitch receiver since MBUSA.com said it was a Class III hitch.
However, when I measure the hitch, it was only 1.25 by 1.25. So, it can not be a Class III hitch. Is this a mistake from MB?
Can anyone ordered a hitch confirm?
Thanks
