Features to know about

Get More Out of Every Trip: Tow or Carry with a Class III 2" Hitch

This fully welded trailer hitch receiver gives you dependable strength for towing or hauling gear. With a 6,000-lb maximum gross trailer weight and 600-lb tongue weight, it's built to handle small trailers, campers, or cargo carriers. When used with weight distribution, capacity increases to 10,000 lbs GTW and 1,000 lbs TW. The 2" x 2" receiver opening fits most bike racks, cargo baskets, and ball mounts, so you can set it up for whatever your weekend brings.

Tough Finish That Stays Looking Good: Matte Black Powder Coat Over Protective Base

The matte black powder coat finish gives this hitch a rugged look and resists rust and corrosion from road grime or bad weather. The durable coating hides scuffs and dings better than glossy paint, so it keeps its clean appearance even after heavy use. The sturdy, square-tube steel design adds to its long-term durability while keeping a simple, purposeful look under your bumper.

With clear instructions and precision fitment, you can mount it confidently in your driveway using basic tools. Once it’s on, you’re ready to load up and go without worrying about complicated modifications.

This fits a 2020 MBZ Sprinter 4x4 with aftermarket Backwoods Adventure rear bumper. etrailer team was super helpful as I was unsure this would fit. They helped with measurements and info I needed for clearance of bumper as I never had the factory bumper to compare with. Thanks etrailer team.

My 2023 sprinter 170 do not have the hole shown in drawings. The bolt head and rectangular washer had to be ground down to fit thru another hole in the frame. Wish I would have just ordered the hitch that required no drilling



by:

Hitch fits perfectly. Installation was straightforward and not too difficult with proper tools and workplace. Now I can use my bike rack, cargo carrier, etc. to make camping more enjoyable. MB Sprinter RV converted from an ambulance.

  • Trailer Hitch For 2018 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 2500 To Use With Yakima Exo System
    Hello Karoline, thanks for reaching out. We do carry hitches for the 2018 Sprinter 2500 that will work with the # Y34ZR Exo system. Here is what I recommend: - Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class III - 2" # C13388 This will fit both the 144" and 170" wheelbase models as long as they have a factory step bumper. For the standard bumper use part # e76AR instead. Please keep in mind these will not fit passenger vans and will not fit models with a 30-3/8" frame, so you will definitely...

  • Does etrailer Hitch # e76AR Fit 2024 Mercedes Sprinter 2500 with Standard Bumper
    Hey Wes, where did you see that the etrailer hitch part # e76AR wouldn't fit your 2024 Mercedes Sprinter passenger van? We have it listed as a fit for the 144 and 170 inch wheelbase versions of the van with the standard bumper like you have so it would work great for you.

  • What is the Difference Between the etrailer and OEM Hitch for a 2025 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 2500?
    Hey Ashley. It looks like the OEM hitch on the 2025 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 2500 has a removable receiver and built in brackets to attach wiring harnesses for towing. The 2" receiver on our etrailer item # e76AR is not removable, it does not have built in brackets but it costs 1/4 of the price. I can't help you with the removable receiver option but you can install the No-Drill Mount for Electrical Mounting Bracket item # 18140 to have a mounting location for a wiring harness. What...

  • Best Trailer Hitch For 2020 Sprinter 2500 & Does Wheelbase Make A Difference for the Hitch
    Hello Philip, thanks for reaching out. As far as the trailer hitches for the 2020 Sprinter 2500, the wheelbase actually will not make a difference when selecting a hitch. The frame width is still the same, and that is what the hitch fitment is based on. That said, what I recommend is the etrailer Class 3 Hitch # e76AR. This has a 2" receiver, 6,000 lb towing capacity and 600 lb tongue weight capacity. Keep in mind the hitch will not fit passenger vans, and will not fit models with a 30-3/8"...

  • Trailer Hitch Receiver Options For A 2020 Thor Compass 24TF
    Hey Dan, I'm seeing that the 2020 Thor Compass 24TF has a Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 3500 chassis which has a few different options depending on the bumper and and wheelbase. You'll also need to measure your frame from outside edge to outside edge. These options will not fit 30-3/8" wide frames. Factory Step Bumper 144" wheelbase # 13375 170" wheelbase # e82TR Factory Standard Bumper 144" & 170" wheelbase # e76AR If you have the 30-3/8" frame you would need to go with a weld-on hitch...

  • Does the Exhaust Have to be Modified to Install the etrailer Hitch e82TR on a 2021 MB Sprinter 2500?
    No, you do not Viktor! The etrailer Trailer Hitch item # e82TR does not require modification of the exhaust when installing it on the 2021 Sprinter 2500. The hitch mounts right next to the muffler. Please note that the etrailer hitch item # e82TR is specifically designed for the Sprinter's that have the factory step bumper. If yours has the standard bumper you'll need the etrailer item # e76AR. If you are planning on towing you will also need a wiring harness item # TK82VR and a ball...

  • Will etrailer Hitch # e76AR Fit 2021 Mercedes Sprinter and Allow Access to Spare Tire
    Hey Paul, yes the etrailer hitch part # e76AR does fit your 2021 Mercedes Benz 2500 144 inch wheelbase and would not interfere with your spare getting off and on easily. The brackets that attach the hitch would go around the spare and the hitch crossbeam would be offset to the rear of that area enough that there wouldn't be any issues. I attached a picture of a similar Draw Tite hitch # 75549 installed on a Sprinter like yours and it has the same design to fit around the spare.

  • Difference Between etrailer Hitches for a 2023 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 2500 Cargo Van
    The difference between our hitches that fit your 2023 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 2500 cargo van have to do with what kind of bumper you have: - Standard Bumper # e76AR - Factory Step Bumper # e82TR Please note these fit unless you have the 30-3/8" frame (measured outside to outside on frame).

  • Difference Between etrailer & Curt Trailer Hitch For 2023 Mercedes Sprinter 2500 Cargo Van
    There is just a single difference between the Curt and etrailer trailer hitches that fit your 2023 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 2500 Cargo Van, which is the finish. The Curt has a glossier finish than the matte black finish of the etrailer hitch, so you can choose which you prefer. The hitches that fit your Sprinter 2500 are the following part numbers: - etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e76AR - Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C13388 The matte black finish is nice as it hides the inevitable...

  • Why Does etrailer Hitch for Sprinter Have More Capacity than the Vehicle
    Hey Brian, with any towing setup you are limited by the lowest rated component as the overall capacity as that is what would be what fails first. So even if you have a hitch rated higher you would be limited by the vehicle's capacity. So why do we make a hitch that is rated higher than the vehicle? Well we designed the hitch to be as strong as we could make it then we rated it independently from the vehicle and that's why it has a higher capacity.
