Question:

Hi - I am looking for a hitch that can support two bikes or tow a trailer with kayaks - so nothing too heavy duty. It seems this may fit but Im concerned it will continually tip the parking and reverse sensors built into the factory step bumper. Have you heard of this issue in the past or with this hitch? I am trying to avoid deactivating the sensors and/or cameras.

Yes, the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver item # 13358 does fit the 2022 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 2500 with the factory step bumper. This hitch is custom fit and bolts to your Mercedes with included hardware.

We have not heard of any issues with the rear sensors on a 2022 Mercedes Sprinter when using the Curt Hitch item # 13358. We have installed this hitch on several similar vans and have not had any problems so you will be good to go. I have attached a couple of pictures below that shows how the hitch mounts in reference to the cameras.

Since you are planning on towing you will need a ball mount kit item # C45534.

I have linked an installation video below.
