I would be happy to help you find a hitch receiver for your 2021 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 2500 van with a factory step. In order to haul a trailer you are going to need a wiring harness as well. The Curt item # 13358 you were looking at is the best hitch receiver available.

I highly recommend it based on its ease of installation, weight capacity, and the built in bracket for attaching a wiring harness. The Curt Trailer Hitch item # 13358 has a maximum gross trailer weight of 5,000 lbs and a maximum tongue weight of 500 lbs.
