What's the Towing Capacity of a Mercedes GLC-Class?

The Mercedes GLC has the maximum towing capacity available, meaning the driver has between 200KG-2500KG to play with. The generous towing capacity allows you to take your pick when choosing what to tow.

Will a Mercedes GLC-Class need a bumper cut?

The GLC models do require a small bumper cut to allow enough clearance for the towbar neck, however, this is located on the undertray of the vehicle and cannot be seen at eye line. This information is the same for the AMG/AMG line versions of the vehicle.

Q: Which Towbar is best for my Mercedes GLC-Class?

We offer a range of towbars for the Mercedes GLC, including the Detachable swan neck towbar, fixed flange towbar and the fixed swan neck towbar. We always recommend the detachable swan neck towbar for those who have parking sensors as the detachable neck can be removed when towing has ended, meaning the parking sensors will not be affected by the towbar. If you don’t want to remove the towbar neck after towing the fixed swan neck is the perfect option. The thinner style neck means it is less likely to affect parking sensors.

What's my Towing Capacity?

The maximum towing capacity of the Mercedes GLC-Class is up to 2500kg braked and up to 750kg unbraked.

Which Towbar is best for my Mercedes GLC-Class?

We stock a range of Mercedes towbars, including Flange, Swan Neck, and Detachable towbars. For the Mercedes GLC-Class, we recommend a Detachable Swan Neck Towbar as you can remove the neck section and keep the car's aesthetics as you wouldn't know a towbar has even been fitted! With fixed flange and fixed swan neck towbars, we couldn't guarantee it won't set your parking sensors off. The detachable options remove this concern as it is narrow fitting and can be removed when you're not towing.

Will it need a bumper cut?

When fitting a towbar to the Mercedes GLC-Class there are no bumper modifications required, however, if your GLC-Class has non-standard bumper trims, there may need to be an incision made during fitment. Our informative towbar engineer will guide you through the fitment process before the installation begins, they will also answer any queries you may have. If you are unsure which bumper style your GLC-Class is fitted with, please contact our sales office where our helpful sales team will help.
