If you are planning to mount it yourself, I suggest that you remove the rear bumper first. The WS manuals tell you to remove the bumpers. But many here suggest that you don't have to. I installed mine without removing the bumper, but what a royal pain. Those bolts on the side arms are hard to get a wrench on without removing the bumper.
In hindsight, I wish that I had taken the time to remove it.
BTW, I bought my hitch - brand new MB in the box with all of the wiring - from a member here she didn't install it. It worked out well for me.
Good luck!
