Expert Reply:

I do have a trailer hitch receiver for your 2003 Freightliner Sprinter but the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver part # C13388 is only confirmed to fit a Sprinter from 2007-2018. As you have a 2003 the correct hitch for you is the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver part # 14250.

If you plan to be towing a trailer in the future then you will also need a wiring harness and ball mount/hitch ball. For a wiring harness I recommend using theh 4 Pole Trailer Connector part # C59496 and for a ball mount the Curt Heavy Duty Forged Ball Mount part # C45340 will work well for you as long as a 1" rise will keep your trailer level. If you also need a hitch ball part # A-90 is for 2" couplers and part # C40008 is for 2-5/16" couplers.

If you require a different ball mount you can use the attached guide to help you find the correct one.
