Trailer Hitch Availability to Fit 2017 Mercedes Sprinter with Service Body
Question:
I have a 2017 Mercedes sprinter 3500 with a knapahide kuv service body. Do you know if the service body will affect the hitch needed? Do you carry a hitch for this application?

I spoke to my contacts at Curt and Reese and the only styles of hitches that can be made to fit a service body truck like yours are multi-fit RV hitches like the # 41990 that has a 16k capacity. This is a weld on hitch that would require either the 7 inch drop brackets part # 4907 or the 16 inch brackets part # 4916.
The rear ends on service bodies are all different dimensions so there's no way to have a hitch fit that works well with that vehicle configuration.
