2017 Mercedes Sprinter 2500 144WB w/ Factory Step Bumper Hitch For Ground Clearance

Question

Question:

Hi Guys, I’m trying to decide between the Curt and Draw Tite Tow hitches for my 2017 Sprinter w/ factory step bumper. I have a 4x4 van and regularly take it off road. Wondering about the ground clearance with these hitches. Leaning towards the Draw Tite but am wondering if one has better clearance than the other as that would be a deciding factor for me. Would appreciate your help. Thanks,

The Draw Tite # 75601 and the Curt # 13358 that you referenced both are a fit for your 2017 Mercedes Benz Sprinter 2500. They have very similar ground clearance but the Curt has the slight edge as it seems to sit a bit higher. I attached a picture that shows the difference. The Curt is in the top picture.
