Expert Reply:
For your 2021 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 2500 with the 170" Wheel Base and standard rear bumper I recommend going with the Curt Trailer Hitch # C13388 due to it being made in the USA, and giving you 1" more ground clearance than the other available trailer hitch, the Draw-Tite # 75549.
Keep in mind this hitch will only fit if your van is the cargo version, and not a passenger van.
If you will be towing a trailer with your Sprinter then you will also need a vehicle wiring harness # C59236 if you are needing just a 4-way connector, or the # TK22115 if you are needing a 7-way connector. You will also need a ball mount, hitch ball, and hitch pin and clip which can all be found in the etrailer Ball Mount Kit # 989900.
I included a link to the written instructions of the # C13388 and video reviews of the other recommended products for you to take a look at.
