I think those uhaul auto trailers are around ~2200lbs.. so that would put total trailer weight around 5Klbs. I have a lotus elise and aluminum dual axle trailer I am planning on towing, just trying to see if this will be a better option. My tundra was getting the same mpg towing or not around 11mpg anyways... and my Sienna is only rated for 3500 lbs so the stealth hitch being derated doesn't help

E63s Wagon
I'm interested in a Stealth Hitch for my 2015 E63 wagon. Had one on my Audi and it's a great hitch.

Any issues with the rear bumper removal & replacement?
Stealth wasn't sure if that part came off in one piece on an AMG (since their hitch is technically made for the non-AMG S212 wagon, and the bumper is the main difference) and could be put that back on.
Any issues with the kick sensor?

Hijacking this - after 2 years and asking a dealer I gave up and assume my 2015 s212 doesn't have the kick sensor, but I was never able prove/disprove it definitively.
Any pointers on how it looks, part number maybe or picture on a wagon ?

You might bust the glass if you accelerate to fast.

That's another cool thing about these cars. Everything always ends up at the rear. Never the front, like in a normal car.
