Well... not on a Mercedes sedan, but I do have a hitch on my CLK.

I had absolutely no desire to own a pickup truck but do have the occasional
need to fetch building supplies, "toys", or a couple of yards of cow-pie
p?t? for the garden every now and again. Ergo: a hitch for one of my coupes
seemed to be a darned good idea.

I found a specialty hitch company in Massachusetts that did the work (Da'lan
Inc), an excellent job I might add. IIRC, they make hitches for Ferraris,
Porches, MBs, BMWs, etc and provide them to Draw-Tite, Reese, and several
other biggies. Here's a link to one of the sites that feature some of their
products:

They used my car as a prototype for that particular chassis, but have many
custom designs regularly stocked and shipped worldwide.

They have the requisite isolation relay boxes which feeds battery power to
the trailer lights in complete isolation from the MB lighting wiring (used
to trigger only, so all MB monitors still work correctly).

I'd suggest the 1-1/4" hidden receiver. When the ball is removed, you'll
have to look hard to see that it's there. I've had mine for over 6 years and
love it:

The local farmers get a real hoot out of an MB coupe making manure runs
(heheheh... even the cows grin when I drive up to the bucket loader!) but
hey, even manure runs can be done with style! <g>

hope this helps,

Paul
