Expert Reply:
For the 144-inch-wheelbase 2016 Freightliner Sprinter 2500 with step bumper we offer the 2-inch Class III Curt hitch # 13358. This installs without drilling and it includes all required mounting hardware. Note this hitch will NOT fit frames that are 30-3/8-inches wide measured outside to outside.
For a trailer brake controller I suggest the user-friendly Prodigy P2 # 90885 along with our 7-way installation kit # ETBC7. You will also need to first install a 4-pole harness # C59496. These parts include all the components you will need to install the 7-way and controller, but depending on how you route the included duplex wiring back to the 7-way you may need more wire, # 10-2-1, sold by the foot.
