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.

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

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.

Great hitch and easy install.

I've ordered a couple products from etrailer.com in the past and as usual their customer service is Outstanding! This time I ordered the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver (Item # C13388) for my 2023 Sprinter 144 Crew van. Paul B and Teresa T were very quick in returning my emails and calls when I received the first hitch in damaged condition. They apologized for the inconvenience and sent me a replacement immediately. Unfortunately the replacement hitch was also damaged on most of the edges, but not as extensive as the first shipment. Both times the shipping box was blown out on each side in multiple places. I learned from talking with Paul B at etrailers.com that the damage to the edges of the hitch originates from the way the manufacturer ships the product to them in a stacked arrangement. Don't be surprised if your hitch arrives protruding from the box in multiple places from bouncing around unpadded inside during shipment. I think some extra cardboard padding on all the steel edges and/or a more heavy duty shipping box would help greatly.
Be prepared to repaint several spots on your new hitch, unless you want the rusting process to begin prematurely.
5-stars for customer service. 3-stars for product arrival.

The hitch itself is fairly straightforward to mount. For this design/model I would recommend an initial "mock-up" mounting of the hitch so you can accurately mark and drill the two under-frame holes for the 1/2" carriage bolts. Dropping the spare tire isn't necessary, but you will want to disconnect the exhaust pipe from the hanger and secure it off to the side to allow room to work. I would also suggest to drill the two under-frame holes 5/8"- 11/16" to make the "fishing" process of the spacer and 1/2" carriage bolt go much smoother. Drilling the frame with a metal bit goes much easier than expected. The instructions do not give any guidance as to what size these holes should be drilled. Install did not take more than 1hr including drilling.

2019 Ram 2500

The product is solid, like every other hitch I've got from etrailer.com.
It was easy to install on my 2019 Sprinter van 2500. The instructions were straight forward and it didn't take a very long time to install the hitch (Maybe 20min total)
I really like the way it seats underneath the bumper



by:
2019 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 2500

Super easy install and perfect fit for my 2019 Sprinter 2500. Given that my intended use for the hitch was to attach a bike rack or additional storage, versus towing, I did not install the additional bolts that require drilling. Looks great, low profile



by:

Greta fit. Easy Install. Quick shipping. Did exactly what I needed it to. Seems well manufactured. Company was very responsive.

  • Trailer Hitch Fit for 2012 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 3500
    The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class III - 2" # C13388 is a confirmed fit for your 2012 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter. The reason the hitch does not fit models with 30-3/8" frame, measured outside to outside of frame is because the normal frame on the Sprinter is wider. To confirm the fit on your Sprinter, you can measure the 35-1/2 inches from the frame hole center to center where this hitch mounts. I've attached a photo to assist.

  • Which Trailer Hitch For A 2021 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 2500 Gives The Most Ground Clearance?
    For your 2021 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 2500 with the standard bumper, the Curt # C13388 and the Draw-Tite # 75549. While we have not had a chance to install both of these hitches yet, when we measured these hitches we found that from the center of the upper mounting hole to the bottom of the hitch on the Draw-Tite # 75549 measured 12-1/4" where the Curt # C13388 measured 11" which you can see in these diagrams, meaning the Curt hitch will sit closer to your bumper and give you better ground...

  • Does Curt Hitch for 2022 Mercedes Sprinter Require Drilling
    Hey David, sorry about the confusion but if you have a 2500 model you do need to drill but if you have a 3500 you do not. So since you have a 2500 you would need to do some drilling to install.

    We haven't had the chance to install both the Curt # C13388 and Draw-Tite # 75549 trailer hitches on the Mercedes Sprinter to do a comparison, however I did go out to our warehouse to take a measurement on each to determine which will sit higher off the ground when mounted. For each hitch I measured from the center of the top mounting hole to the lowest point. On the Curt hitch this measurement was 11" and on the Draw-Tite it was 12-1/4", meaning the Curt # C13388 is definitely the best...

    From the pictures you sent it looks like your setup is overloaded. It is important to remember that the use of an extender like this will reduce the capacity of your hitch by 50%. That means if you have a hitch like the Curt # C13388, your maximum tongue weight has been reduced from 600 lbs to 300 lbs. If your hitch has a 500 lbs maximum tongue weight it will be 250 lbs with the extender. According to the manufacturer, the minimum tongue weight rating for your hitch must be 350 lbs in...

If you have the passenger version, you'll want to use the Draw-Tite # 75549 instead.

The step bumper option gives you a step which allows you to climb into the back more easily. The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver part # C13388 is designed for the vans that have the standard rear bumper.
