To add a hitch to your 2024 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 2500, I recommend the etrailer item # e82TR. This hitch is custom fit and bolts to your Sprinter with included hardware. It fits both the 144" and 170" wheelbase models so long as you have the factory step bumper.

The etrailer item # e82TR is a class III hitch with a 2" receiver. It has a 5,000 lbs towing capacity and a 500 lbs maximum tongue weight. These capacities can be increased to 7,500 lbs and 750 lbs when used with a weight distribution system.

If you are planning on towing you will also need a wiring harness item # 119250KIT and a ball mount kit item # C45534.

Hello Jerred, I have a 2024 but have an aftermarket step bumper (Westin) will this hitch still work? The mounting points look to be the same

@AustinB So long as the Westin step bumper doesn't hang down any lower than the factory one on your 2024 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 2500, the etrailer Hitch item # e82TR should work. Our fitguide is based off of factory parts and we haven't ran into this scenario before so I can't give you a solid yes or no answer.

@JerredH Thanks! It looks like they both mount to the same hitch mounting points and I've seen a lot of photos with the Westin bumper installed with a hitch. I'll report back once I get it!

Hey Alin! For a hitch I recommend the etrailer #e82TR. Keep in mind, just like the other available hitches you can only tow 7,000 lbs while using a weight distribution hitch. To find the right WDH you need to know the tongue weight of your setup.…

Hello Philip, thanks for reaching out. As far as the trailer hitches for the 2020 Sprinter 2500, the wheelbase actually will not make a difference when selecting a hitch. The frame width is still the same, and that is what the hitch fitment is based…

Hey Ashley. It looks like the OEM hitch on the 2025 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 2500 has a removable receiver and built in brackets to attach wiring harnesses for towing. The 2" receiver on our etrailer item #e76AR is not removable, it does not have…
