I can not say enough about Shawnee and Cloe with customer their service. Outstanding. I emailed them close to a dozen times to find the correct hitch for my unique vehicals. Never once where they short or impatient. I have not received my products but the effort they put in was above and beyond. I wish other businesses would use this model. Great prices, awesome service. What else could you ask for. Highly recommend etrailer and their staff for all my trailer needs. 5stars

Easy ordering, quick shipping, straight-forward self-installation. Couldn't ask for more.

I have ordered from you in the past and have both good products and good customer service. I INSTALLED the E Trailer hitch today!! It took most of the day to find the right tools to loosen the six bolts on the 2019 Sprinter. Luckily my neighbor had a torque wrench, and 18mm tools or I would not have been able,to get this done. Another neighbor loaned me his car,Jack to move the hitch in place. Later he helped lift the part into place, as it most,certainly takes two people. The fit is very close, and goes up right next to the tail exhaust pipe.
Now,I have the factory installed Full length Step as well as the heavy duty hitch.
Perfect for bike racks, etc.
This will make it possible for me to haul the electrical components and still have a small bed and a galley in the 144 inch wheel base Mercedes Sprinter. I would not have known how important your hitch is without doing a lot of utube research. Be sure to show in your hitch description that your company designed this EASY to install on a Sprinter hitch product!



by:

Came fast, very competitive pricing



by:

Hard to install due to the off balance weight of this but I eventually got this installed with my 10yr old son pushing the bolts through. All other installation procedures was easy.



by:

Very easy to install

I purchased this hitch for a 2013 Mercedes Sprinter with factory step bumper. After reading the description and some research, this appeared to be the best choice for my needs. I am happy to say that it was a great choice; the fit was perfect, the construction is solid, and paint is professional. The unit arrived timely and had good instructions included with the needed hardware to finish the installation, which took about 45 min.



by:

Shiela was the product specialist who helped and made the whole ordering process super easy. Shipping was fast and customer service has been on point, thanks again!

Thank you your service it’s really fast delivery excellent costumer service thank you Laurence I save exactly $[XX] dollars I installed by myself I took only 10 minutes to do it good product and price. Thank you

Great product, Was a very easy install. It was nice having the ability to tow my enclosed trailer or have the dirt bike mounted on the back in order to have extra room.

  • Distance Between Brackets of Curt Hitch 13358 for 2018 Mercedes Sprinter 3500
    I can go ahead and give you the measurement between the bolt holes for the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # 13358. As you can see by the accompanying diagram, this hitch measures 39-1/2 inches between the brackets from inside to inside, and you can use that to determine if it will fit along with the ramp on your 2018 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 3500. I have added a link below to the installation instructions for you to check out as well of the Curt Hitch # 13358.

  • Are There Front Hitch or Recovery Accessories Available for my 2018 GMC Savana Van?
    I have a solution for you to add tow hooks to your 2018 GMC Savana Van, but there currently are not any front mounted hitches or winch capable bumpers available to fit your van. I recommend adding tow hooks similar to the Curt Bolt On Tow Hook with Keeper # C22411 to the frame of your Savana van to help with recovering your vehicle if you're ever caught in that position again. If you have a rear mounted hitch, you could also add the Curt Forged Tow Hook # C45500 to provide you with a...

  • The Best Trailer Hitch for a 2014 Mercedes Sprinter Van with Factory Step Bumper
    What you see in the pictures for Curt trailer hitch # 13358 is the factory step bumper that comes on some Sprinter vans. There is probably an aftermarket version of it out there but we do not carry it. It is attached separately from the vehicle on the underside. Take a look at the picture I have included that shows the different attachment points for the hitch and the step bumper. If you plan on installing one of these steps then you would need a hitch like # 13358 designed for models...

    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.

  • How To Choose Correct Trailer Hitch for 2011 Freightliner Sprinter
    I do have some trailer hitch options for a 2011 Freightliner Sprinter but they are largely based on frame type (2500 or 3500), wheelbase (144" or 170"), and bumper setup (standard or factory step). I can't make a recommendation for a trailer hitch without this info as it's ultimately what decides fit. I can however attach a list of options below which you can choose from once you do have the above info. The most popular option is the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver part # 13358 which fits...

  • Trailer Hitch Recommendations for a 2018 Freightliner Sprinter 3500 Chassis with 170" Wheelbase
    There are a few different options depending on what kind of bumper your 2018 Freightliner Sprinter 3500 Chassis comes with. If you have the factory step bumper I recommend the Curt # 13358, if you have the standard bumper then I recommend the Curt # C13388, and if you don't have the factory step bumper then I recommend the Draw-Tite # 75549. Please note that none of these will fit if you have a 30-3/8" frame measured from the outside to outside of your frame. The installation details...

  • Hitch and Wiring Recommendation for a 2012 Mercedes Sprinter Van 2500 w 170 Wheelbase
    Since your 2012 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter with a 170 inch wheel base does not have a step bumper you would want the Curt Trailer Hitch # C13388. The Curt Hitch # 13358 that you referenced would not work for you because it is designed for vehicles with step bumpers and you do not have one. For wiring I would recommend you get a Tekonsha Custom Fit Vehicle Wiring # 118650. I attached installation instructions and an installation video for this product for you to check out also.

    As you are looking for a 5,000 pound hitch for your 2016 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 3500, I suggest going with the Curt # 13358. This will have the capacity needed as well as fit your vehicle properly as well. I included an install video we did on this as well.

  • Will Roadmaster Skid Wheel # RM-050 Prevent Scraping When Carrying Bike Rack
    Yes, the Roadmaster Rollaway Skid Wheel part # RM-050 will fit the Curt hitch you have installed part # 13358. To determine where the roller will be relative to the hitch height you'd need to measure 3-1/4 inches down from the hitch pin hole. Comparing that dimension to your current setup will allow you to know if you'd have enough clearance.

  • Trailer Hitch and Wiring Recommendation for 2017 Mercedes Sprinter 3500
    For your 2017 Mercedes Benz Sprinter 3500 with a 170 inch wheelbase and a step bumper we have the Curt Class III hitch part # 13358 which is a confirmed fit and would work well. I recommend this hitch because it's made in the USA, has great towing capacities and will install easily. For trailer wiring you'd then want the T-One kit part # 118649 which is a confirmed fit and our most reliable option.

I measured the receiver in our shop and it 33-1/2" wide between the frame rail mounting points. We do also have the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # 13358 that mounts to the outside of the frame. While Curt has not been able to confirm that this will fit on an XD version of the Sprinter 3500 you can check your frame outside width to see if it has the same width. This receiver...

    The Curt hitch part # 13358 that you referenced fits the long and short wheelbase versions of your 2016 Mercedes Benz Sprinter 2500 with the factory step bumper. To determine if your spare carrier will fit past the bumper when this hitch is installed you'd need to take one measurement. You'll need to measure from the hitch pin hole out to the nearest upright portion of the carrier. If that distance is greater than 6-1/2 inches it will fit in this hitch and clear the rear bumper.
