The Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver part # 75601 is the only available trailer hitch options for a 2020 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 2500 170" Wheelbase Passenger Van with Step Bumper. That said, you'll need to be sure you don't have a 30-3/8" wide frame which is measured from each outside edge. The Draw-Tite hitch has a class III rating with 2" receiver tube opening. It will work great for towing or hitch mounted accessories such as bike racks and cargo carriers.
