Features to know about

Stronger Hauling for Everyday Use: Class III 2" Hitch with 5,000 lbs GTW

This hitch is built for real work and weekend fun. With a 2" x 2" receiver opening, it handles up to 5,000 lbs maximum gross trailer weight and 500 lbs maximum tongue weight. When used with weight distribution, it goes up to 7,500 lbs GTW and 750 lbs TW. That means it’s ready for small campers, boats, utility trailers, bike racks, or cargo carriers without breaking a sweat. The sturdy square-tube design gives you the strength and stability you need every time you tow.

DIY-Friendly Install: Bolt-On Design with No Welding Required

If you like getting things done in the driveway, this hitch makes it simple. It bolts directly to the frame using the complete hardware kit that comes with it—no welding required. Everything lines up like it should so you can mount it cleanly with basic tools. The precision robotic welding ensures a snug fit that feels solid once tightened down.

Rugged Look That Lasts: Matte Black Powder Coat Finish

The matte black finish isn’t just for looks—it’s tough where it counts. The powder-coated steel provides superior rust and corrosion resistance while hiding dirt and scuffs better than glossy coatings. The carbide-like texture gives the hitch a rugged appearance that blends in nicely under the bumper and keeps that clean look over time.

Reliable Towing Setup: Built to Handle Real Loads

Each hitch comes fully welded and ready for action right out of the box. It’s designed with durability in mind so you can trust it whether hauling gear for work or loading up bikes for the weekend. The protective base coat under the matte powder coat adds even more life to the finish, ensuring this hitch stays strong through years of use.

A++++++++++++++++++++++++ less then a hour to insta !!

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!

Easy install by anyone mechanically inc lined

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!

Easy to instal. Showed up in safe packa ging.

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.



by:

Fit very well and took less than one hour to install



by:

pretty simple deal just ordered and it was delivered super fast thanks



by:

Good product, easy to install-was thrown by needed bolts not included from etrailer or Mercedes. I had to research and find on my own. Boltdepot.com is a good resource.



by:

Perfect fit 2024 sprinter crew with factory step bumper. No modifications to vehicle. Needs to be lifted fairly straight up onto both sides of the frame at the same time. Little tough by yourself but not too bad with it blocked up close to the frame then you can start one side then the other. Great video on e trailer that shows how simple it is to install.



by:

After a year and 20,000 miles thru basically 2 winters with snowy, muddy and salty roads I don’t have sign of rust.

Those shots look amazing, Damian! I look forward to seeing what other sites and travels you share with us!



by:

arrived quickly, perfect fit and installation was easy. Highly recommended!



by:

Perfect fit and super easy install! I was a little worried that I had ordered the wrong thing because the instructions say it’s meant for sprinters with factory installed bumper step, and states it doesn’t fit passenger vans. Mine is a passenger van and doesn’t have a bumper step. Still fit. Took about 20 min to install.



by:

Very easy to install.



by:

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.

After a year of use and towing several different trailers, this hitch is still working perfect and looks new. Great product and would purchase again if needed without hesitation.



by:

It worked out great. It was a direct great fit for my 2025s sprinter with the rear step



by:

Went on my 2020 sprinter with factory rear step with ease. Just remove the 3 nuts on each side. No need to remove the bolts, just pull them back enough to push the hitch up into place. Then push the bolts back in. One minor issue, the bolt head of the supplied hardware is 19mm and not 18mm like the nut and the factory bolts and nuts.



by:

Fit was good, would be 5 stars, but there is no provision for a trailer plug. Had to drill and nutsert the holes to mount a trailer plug



by:

I purchased this for a customers 2026 Mercedes Sprinter 2500 170" WB, with Step Bumper. It fit like a glove. Now we just need Etrailer to update their system to show it fit.

System officially updated, the world can now see how awesome the install looks BBU! I am so used to seeing white sprinters, the black look sleek =) What do you plan on using the hitch for?

@KateF This was for a customer, and he will mainly be towing his work trailer. He also has some jet skis, that he will be towing when he's not working. I wish that E-trailer had a plug and play style wiring for the 4-flat. We had a very happy customer in the end. Every place he called to turned him away because "they don't do foreign vehicles."

@Bbu Yes, that would definitely be nice if there was one available. I just looked up the whole order and saw you had to do the splice in converter with the etbc7, definitely a little time consuming. I am sure he was extremely grateful you did the job! Happy to see you have a Dealer Account with us as well =)

  • Recommended Hitch for a 2024 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 2500
    To add a hitch to your 2024 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 2500, I recommend the etrailer item # e82TR. This hitch is custom fit and bolts to your Sprinter with included hardware. It fits both the 144" and 170" wheelbase models so long as you have the factory step bumper. The etrailer item # e82TR is a class III hitch with a 2" receiver.

  • 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"...

  • 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.

  • 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.

    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.

    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...

    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 etrailer hitch has a matte black finish, while the Curt hitch has a glossy black finish, so you can choose which you prefer.

    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.

  • What Trailer Hitch and Wiring Will Work for a 2016 Freightliner 2500 with Step Bumper?
    Hi Paula, For you 2016 Freightliner 2500 with step bumper, I suggest using the etrailer Custom Trailer Hitch with 2" Receiver part # e82TR. It is a 2" trailer hitch receiver that will fit both the 144" and 170" wheelbase, however, it will NOT fit passenger vans or vehicles with a 30 3/8" frame measured from outside frame to outside frame. It is a no drill installation and is designed to sit at the edge of the step bumper, so you won't need an extension to get past the step. For wiring,...

  • 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...
