Hi,

This is great info for many people. I went myself with the aftermarket hitch. Which works fine as well but is limited to 4000lbs.

So you bought the OEM factory option hitch and bumper and not the Mercedes accesory OEM hitch?
What was the total cost ? (and part numbers will help other people as well)

Question: how did you take th bumper off? I know the brackets at the bottom and the plastic rivets in the wheel wells. But after that?

You're successful efforts sound much like my own.

Does anyone have the part number for the OEM hitch kit for a 2006 ML350?

Hi guys,

Does anyone know where I can get instructions with pictures on how to remove and install the front, rear bumper and side panels of an ML 320 (1999)? I'd be obliged.

Thanx

Is it possible that you can post a DIY guide for the bumper cover removal? Thanks.
