Updated 12/22/2020 | Published 12/18/2020
Question:
I have a 2016 MB Sprinter 2500, 144inch wheelbase with factory step bumper. I would like to be able to tow 2500 lbs. Small tractor, rented equipment, etc. Which hitch is best? Will it take more than one size ball hitch? How easy is to to install?

Expert Reply:
The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver part # 13358 is what I recommend for a 2016 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 2500 (144" Wheelbase with Step Bumper). It has a 5,000 lb towing capacity which will be plenty. It features bolt-on installation with no modifications needed so installation will be easy.
