Question:
I have a 2020 sprinter 2500, but it says the body is 177 inches does that make a difference in the hitch part you guys have?

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 on.
That said, what I recommend is the etrailer Class 3 Hitch # e76AR. This has a 2" receiver, 6,000 lb towing capacity and 600 lb tongue weight capacity. Keep in mind the hitch will not fit passenger vans, and will not fit models with a 30-3/8" wide frame, measured outside to outside. This hitch is intended for models with the standard factory bumper.
If you have the factory step bumper, you will want the # e82TR instead.
What do you plan to use the hitch for? A bike rack? Or are you planning to tow a trailer?
