Question:
we are looking for a trailer hitch to handle the ebike trailer we bought from you but that will fit on our new 2011 sprinter freight liner. it has double doors in the back and the spare tire is under the car near the back. any ideas of what would work?

I do have some trailer hitch options for a 2011 Freightliner Sprinter but they are largely based on frame type (2500 or 3500), wheelbase (144" or 170"), and bumper setup (standard or factory step). I can't make a recommendation for a trailer hitch without this info as it's ultimately what decides fit. I can however attach a list of options below which you can choose from once you do have the above info.
The most popular option is the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver part # 13358 which fits the following:
2500 Van - 144 inch Wheelbase - with factory step bumper
2500 Van - 170 inch Wheelbase - with factory step bumper
3500 Van - 170 inch Wheelbase - with factory step bumper
