2016 GLC300 4-Matic
Tow Drawbar
Good day!

I have a 2020 GLE 350 4-matic with factory hitch. Does anyone recommend a tow drawbar they use or have a factory part number I can order through my parts department?

Love this vehicle (especially compared to my GLC I traded and two w164 CDIs in the past)!

Thanks all!
John

I purchased this from Amazon. Long enough for the tailgate to open with boat or trailers attached.

There is a nice factory cast one. This is a few years old, so not sure if still available, but part #A166 315 01 03. 7,500# and 600# tongue weight.

Yeah, mine came stock with my '12 ML. Now it's hard even get a USB-C cable included!

They stopped supplying them with the hitch in 2012, we have a 2013ML350 with Hitch and it did not include the ball mount :-(
