Hi I have the new 2016 MB Sprinter. It is a 2500 with 170 inch wheel base and a step bumper. I am in need of a hitch. Do you have one for my van? Thanks

We do have trailer hitches that will fit your 2016 Mercedes Sprinter 2500 with the 170 inch wheel base and factory step bumper. You can use Curt hitch # 13358 or Draw-Tite hitch # 75601. Both of these hitches will install the same way.

All of the hitches are Class III hitches with 2 inch receivers and they are all rated the same:

500 Pound Tongue Weight
5000 Pound Towing

Weight Distribution Towing Capacity:
750 lbs WD TW Pound Tongue Weight
7500 lbs WD GTW Pound Towing

If you plan on doing some towing I recommend etrailer ball mount kit # 989900. It comes with 2 ball mounts; one with a 3/4 inch rise or 2 inch drop and one with a 2-3/4 inch rise or 4 inch drop. It also includes a 1-7/8 inch ball, 2 inch ball, hitch pin with clip, and a storage bag.

If the ball mount kit does not have the right rise or drop to tow the trailer level, use the link I have included that explains how to measure to choose a ball mount to tow the trailer level.
