That kit ^ replaces the inner bumper . I'm still, interested. Seems beefy. Need to find out from MB if it would void the warranty in anyway.

It would be nice if you could hold the "raised vehicle" setting over 35 MPH. Say up to 50+ MPH for better ground clearance at speed.

Wonder what it would do to the rear impact protection.

On MB's official accessories website, there this is bike rack, part number A0008901700, that is listed as comaptible with V223.




I've also found this documentation from MB, that shows explicitly a tow bar, installed on the W223, being used to tow the bike carrier.




So surely what you are asking is possible. We just need to figure out the part number of the tow bar, for W223...

Also found A LOT of references to 'electrical trailer hitch' in the W223 owner's manual. So don't let your dealer tell you it can't be done
