Rugged, Matte Black Finish

The sturdy steel construction is protected with a matte black finish for added durability. This unique powder coating gives etrailer hitches a carbide-like appearance and a rugged look that sets them apart from traditional glossy hitches. In addition to being rust and corrosion resistant, the tough matte coating hides dirt, scuffs, and dings better than a glossy finish.

  • Hitch, Wiring, and Brake Controller for 2025 Sprinter 3500XD With 170" Wheelbase
    Hey Alin! For a hitch I recommend the etrailer # e82TR. Keep in mind, just like the other available hitches you can only tow 7,000 lbs while using a weight distribution hitch. To find the right WDH you need to know the tongue weight of your setup. What kind of trailer are you towing? For wiring you will start by adding the Curt # C59236 for a 4-way and then upgrade to a 7-way using the # ETBC7L. The # ETBC7L does not include the brake output wire since you don't need it to use the Curt...

  • 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"...

  • Is etrailer Trailer Hitch Compatible With 2025 Mercedes-Benz eSprinter 2500
    Yes, the etrailer Trailer Hitch # e82TR will fit the 2025 eSprinter 2500 as long as it has a factory step bumper. Sorry this took a little bit I had to do some digging since we don't list any fitment for eSprinter models. It looks like there is no difference between the eSprinter and the regular Sprinter when it comes to hitch installation.

    Just a single difference exists between the Curt and etrailer trailer hitches for your 2024 Mercedes Sprinter 2500 with a factory step bumper, which is the finish.

The hitches that fit your Sprinter are the following part numbers: - Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # 13358 - etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e82TR The matte black finish does hide those inevitable...

  • Parts Needed For Installing Trailer Hitch Receiver & Wiring For Brake Controller 2022 Sprinter 2500
    Since your 2022 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 2500 did not come with the factory tow package you may not have a connector for the brake controller under the seat or under your dash. I have linked an installation video for the Redarc # RED44FR at the bottom of the page which will show you where the connector is and if you can wire it in using the Pigtail # 3063-P and Adapter # 331-TPH-017. As I see you were looking at the Prodigy P3 # 90195 it would only require the Pigtail # 3063-P which is long...

  • Recommended Trailer Hitch and Wiring for 2022 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 2500 with Step Under Bumper
    The trailer hitch I recommend for a 2022 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 2500 with factory step bumper is the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver part # e82TR which offers a direct bolt-on fit so there's no drilling required. This trailer hitch is rated up to 7,500 lbs which is the highest available for this vehicle. The max the vehicle can tow is 5,000 lbs so there is no need to go much further over this. In regards to the trailer wiring, I recommend the T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness part # TK22115...

  • Difference Between etrailer Hitches for a 2023 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 2500 Cargo Van

  • Will Installation of a Hitch Interfere w/ the Parking Sensors on 2022 Mercedes Sprinter 2500?
    Yes, the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver item # 13358 does fit the 2022 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 2500 with the factory step bumper. This hitch is custom fit and bolts to your Mercedes with included hardware. We have not heard of any issues with the rear sensors on a 2022 Mercedes Sprinter when using the Curt Hitch item # 13358.

  • Recommended Trailer Hitch Receiver For A 2020 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 2500 Passenger Van
    Hey Pablo, If your 2020 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 2500 has a 144" or 170" wheelbase with a standard bumper you'll need the Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver # 75549. If you have a 144" or 170" wheelbase with a factory step bumper that's mounted to the inside of the frame rails then you'll need the Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver # 75601 instead. Note: These hitches do not fit models with 30-3/8" frame, measured outside to outside of frame.

  • Will etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver Fit a 2022 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 2500 With Factory Step Bumper
    Yes, the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e82TR will fit your 2022 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 2500 with the factory step bumper. I actually like this because it has a matte black finish as opposed to the other options that have a glossy black finish. The matte black blends in a little better and is more durable so it's an all around plus with this hitch installed. To tow a trailer you also need the Wiring Kit # TK82VR and then swap out the 7-Way with the Hopkins Adapter # 30955 so you have...

    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...

    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.
