Question:
Hello! I have a 2018 Mercedes sprinter 2500. I am wondering what type of hitches you sell that would work with this van? Would you be able to send me links to the exact ones you sell that are compatible with the Yakima Exo system with the 2 bike rack and enclosed cargo carrier Y34ZR Also, Is the hitch extender necessary for this product..? Thank you in advance.

Hello Karoline, thanks for reaching out. We do carry hitches for the 2018 Sprinter 2500 that will work with the # Y34ZR Exo system. Here is what I recommend:
- Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class III - 2" # C13388
This will fit both the 144" and 170" wheelbase models as long as they have a factory step bumper. For the standard bumper use part # e76AR instead. Please keep in mind these will not fit passenger vans and will not fit models with a 30-3/8" frame, so you will definitely want to check that.
In all likelihood, you will need the Yakima StraightShot Hitch Extension # Y69VR to help clear the bumper or especially if you have a rear step or spare tire mounted on the rear door.
The best thing about the Exo system is its super versatile and allows you to store a ton of gear while still having access to the rear door.
What kind of Sprinter van do you have specifically? What kind of gear will you be using the EXO for?

You only need the extender if you have the rear step bumper
