Duane, for your 2015 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter Passenger Van with a 170" wheelbase and a factory step bumper, I recommend going with the Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver # 75601.
This trailer hitch has a 5,000 lb weight capacity, a 500 lb tongue weight capacity, and has an easy bolt on install using the included hardware.

Hey Duane, how did the Draw-Tite hitch work out on your Sprinter with the step bumper? It’d be great to hear how the fit and install went. Your update could make it easier for the next person with the same van setup.
