Recently sold my Toyota 4Runner V8 as the mileage was getting pretty high - bought a used Mercedes ML 350 diesel. The Mercedes is rated to tow 7200lbs but only comes with a 3500/350 lbs hitch and its enough for my 17' boat but am thinking of getting a travel trailer. Most of the hitch manufacturers will only supply the 3500/350 weight hitches and the Curt hitch isn't even rated for using a load-leveling set-up. The diesel ML 350 is different than the gas model in that it has a blue DEF fluid reservoir located about where the spare tire would be so the gas model hitch won't fit the diesel model.
Does anyone know a hitch shop that can modify/make a hitch for up to 7000lbs? I haven't found anyone in the Lower Mainland. I know there is a place in California and also at CAN-AM Rv in Ontario that modifies hitches for Mercedes, Audi, Volkswagen and BMW diesel SUVs but I'm looking for someone closer to home.
