Specs:
Draw-Tite's Tested Tough program provides testing standards far superior to those outlined by the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE), the go-to source for engineering professionals.
Each Draw-Tite trailer hitch receiver undergoes extensive fatigue testing and static testing with the ball mount that is either supplied or recommended for use with that particular hitch, thus ensuring results that are applicable to real life use. Fatigue testing is also conducted on hitches rated for use with weight-distribution systems.
In addition, Draw-Tite performs static testing on a simulated automobile, as opposed to the rigid fixture used for SAE testing, resulting in a more true-to-life scenario.

Video of Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class III - 2"
Videos are provided as a guide only. Refer to manufacturer installation instructions and specs for complete information.
Today on our 2016 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 3500 we're going to be taking a look at and also showing you how to install the Draw-Tite Max-Frame Custom Fit Class 3 trailer hitch receiver. This offers the 2" by 2" receiver tube opening. Its part number is 75549. Here's what our hitch is going to look like installed on the vehicle. As you can see, our side plates are going to come down. We'll have our crosstube. It's going to be visible all the way across the rear here from bracket to bracket.
In the middle of course we've got our 2" by 2" receiver tube opening. Now this is a Class 3 hitch. Means it's going to be very, very versatile. You'll see it's got a rounded reinforcement collar around the end of it here. It's going to be about 3/4" out past our bumper.
I really don't think you'll have any worries about running into it or anything, but definitely is extended slightly past the end of the vehicle. See our safety chain connection points here. These are nice and large. They're a plate style. Whatever style of chain you're going to be connecting there, again, I don't think you'll have any issue. There has been a small tab welded on right here with three pre-drilled holes.
This is designed to aid in mounting a wiring bracket of some type. Although it is tucked pretty close back to the hitch, it might offer us a few clearance challenges there. As far as weight ratings go, we're going to have a 600 pound tongue weight rating. That's the maximum downward force you'll want to put here at the receiver tube opening. We've got a 6,000 pound gross trailer weight rating.
That would be the total weight of your trailer and anything that you load up on it. This is rated for weight distribution. If you go into weight distribution setup, the tongue weight rating's going to go up to 750 pounds. The gross trailer weight rating, it goes up to 7,500 pounds. Now you do want to check the owner's manual on your Sprinter to see what its tow rating is and go off of whichever of those numbers are the lowest. Now a few measurements that will be helpful in selecting your ball mount, bike rack, or hitch cargo carrier will be from the ground to the inside top edge of our receiver tube opening we've got about 17-1/4". Our hitch pin hole is going to be about even with the outermost edge of our bumper. Now the attachment points we're going to use for the installation are going to be right here at the end of the frame rail. There are going to be four holes that pass through. You may have some tie down hooks on each side. If you do, you're going to want to get those removed. We're going to use an 18mm wrench and socket, take those off. You'll take them off on each side if you have them. These aren't going to be reinstalled so it's something that we can return to our customer. Now we'll get our hitch raised into position. It's a great idea to have an extra set of hands just to help you guide it up in place. We'll have to do this one, this one, or this one. Whichever one you decide, we'll place the bolt from the inside out. Going to use our conical tooth washer there. We just want the teeth to face toward our hitch. We'll bring them through just like that. Now we can let our hitch rest there and we'll get the rest of them put in place. The only difference will be instead of a conical tooth washer, in this whole location we're going to be using a lock washer. Now on each of our bolts we're going to place on one of the round hole spacer blocks. We'll also thread on one of our hex nuts. Now we need to go through and at each one of our bolts get them tightened down to the appropriate torque specifications. Those are listed in your instructions. Now with all of our fasteners torqued down to the appropriate specification, that's going to complete our installation of the Draw-Tite Max-Frame Custom Fit Class 3 trailer hitch receiver, part number 75549, on our 2016 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 3500.

Fully welded vehicle trailer hitch is strong and durable. Draw-Tite's Tested Tough guarantee ensures that this hitch exceeds industry standards. The combination of an e-coat base and a powder coat finish provides excellent rust protection.Super easy install, took me less than one hour including the time needed to remove and reinstall my Luverne Step. The best part is that the hitch fits snug under the bumper allowing me to keep using my step. Both components utilize the same mounting holes and have the same diameter holes for the carriage bolts. Awesome service, fast delivery! 688623
Installation was painless and went well. If you are installing it on a 2008 Dodge Sprinter 2500 with the step bumper, you will have to remove it and the plastic cover for a good installation. With the cover off, the bumper looks a little weird but everything is functional and works well. 284125
product is perfect as explained. I have been consistently impressed with etrailer.com. they are always quick and professional and make certain that you get what you have ordered with phone calls or emails. thanks 92092
The hitch mounted with ease, by myself on a 2014 Mercedes Sprinter passenger van with no rear step. For bike rack people- I did run into the problem that the Kuat bike hitch rack I installed sat too close to the van and risked breaking the windows. I tried an 8" extension...lame. Still didn't have rear door use. So Kuat makes a Pivot swing away that works with any 2" hitch rack and problem solved. Full use of doors, and plenty of clearance from windows with handlebars. Overall great hitch!!! Thanks!!! 547283
The Draw-Tite #75549 arrived one day earlier than expected (a good thing). I installed the hitch on my 2014 Mercedes Sprinter 2500 and it fit perfectly. All the holes lined up with no problems at all. Would recommend this hitch and etrailer experience to everyone. Thanks! 381073
30 minute, one person, two floor jack installation. The trailer hitch we purchased fit perfectly inside the frame and bolted to the existing factory bolt holes. SImply remove the factory shipping tie down bracket, line up the hitch, install all eight bolts as described in the instructions and its that simple. Fast shipping, great price and a quality product. 383007

Easy to install, great hitch 457307
Easy to install. Works great. Pulled a boat for 26 hours last month without a hitch! (Okay we USED a hitch, there were no ISSUES). 427939
Thank you. Fast shipping and exactly as promised. 427515
The hitch was delivered free in less than a week, and it's a perfect fit on my 2011 Sprinter - despite the fact that another store stated that hitch p/n 75549 does not fit a 2011 Sprinter. This hitch was easier to install than the removal of the tie-down fixture that had to be taken off first. I appreciate etrailers courteous customer service too. 409958
Great price. Shipped and boxed very nicely. Had everything I needed in one place. Thank you 400640
My hitch and wiring harnesses arrived sooner than I expected in generally good shape. the hitch was chipped around the receiver which will happen anyway but you always want new stuff you buy to be perfect. I installed the hitch already and don't expect anything out of the ordinary on the wiring. I purchased wiring and the brake controller earlier on and all went well so I assume it will on my van as well. 364286
Quick shipping. Quality Product. Easy Install. Highly recommended. 353211
Product has scratches. Need to be touched up to prevent rust. But the bigger disappointment was that no electrical harness is included 348779
Thanks for the feedback, and as you noted the wiring harnesses are sold separately. Please check out our fit guide to find the best wiring solution for your vehicle.

Rachael H - 03/13/2017I've had two of these and every time I need a hitch for my Sprinter, this is the one I go for. Surprisingly easy to install, given its size and weight. 344264
We got the right stuff, ahead of schedule, with plenty of clear communication. I recommend etrailer. 155491
Perfect fit and was easy to install, just a few minutes. 73122
