Description
Mercedes M Class W164 2005-2011 Westfalia Detachable Towbar
Some models require replacement trim from Mercedes dealer
Will the Westfalia detachable tow bar fit my Mercedes ML350 CDI registered September 2011 (OU61 XXT) The reason I ask is because the rear bumper has an alloy/stainless steel amg style under pan as part of the SPORT pack as standard and I see you do not recommend fitment to the AMG, is it this type of bumper which prevents fitment or something else?
One other question would you recommend the dedicated by pass for the ML or the cheaper version? Would the former be something I would find easier to install (sorry I have a mechanical and a little auto electrical experience) or would it be better to employ a dedicate auto electrician in both cases?

Hi
The 313340 will not fit the true AMG 6.3 engine, it will fit AMG styling models, you have to cut the trim or by a replacement one from Mercedes for models with detachable tow bar
