Hey Mike!
The Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver # 75601 is what you're looking for, as long as your 2016 MB Sprinter 2500 doesn't have a frame measuring 30-3/8" outside to outside.
If you don't already have a bike rack please let me know and I'd be more than happy to make a recommendation for you!
