Question:
Need a trailer hitch for a motorhome built on a 2018 Freightliner Sprinter 3500 chassis. What do you recommend for a 170 inch wheelbase?

Expert Reply:
There are a few different options depending on what kind of bumper your 2018 Freightliner Sprinter 3500 Chassis comes with.
If you have the factory step bumper I recommend the Curt # 13358, if you have the standard bumper then I recommend the Curt # C13388, and if you don't have the factory step bumper then I recommend the Draw-Tite # 75549. Please note that none of these will fit if you have a 30-3/8" frame measured from the outside to outside of your frame.
The installation details for each of these trailers hitches has been linked for you to check out. I have attached a sample installation of the Draw-Tite hitch on a 2016 Sprinter 3500 for you to check out as well.
