2017 Mercedes-Benz Questions and Answers

• Parts Needed to Equip 2017 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 2500 with 7-Way and Trailer Brake Controller
  
• We have 2-inch Class III trailer hitches for your 2017 Sprinter 2500 that you can view on the linked page. Their fits depend on the van wheelbase and bumper style. You can use the drop-down Select Vehicle Style menu tool to choose your specific configuration. Please note that Sprinter frames that measure 30-3/8-inches between the outsides of the frame rails have no confirmed hitch options. Towing capacities vary slightly among the hitches available; for a van without the factory step...

• Parts Needed to Wire Brake Controller to 2017 Mercedes Benz Sprinter with Green Connector
  
• Since you have brake controller pre-wiring already on your 2017 Mercedes Sprinter 3500 you would not need to use a stop light switch like part # RM-751475. We don't sell a connector that plugs right into it, but you can still use it to wire up a brake controller like the P3 part # 90195. You'll need to cut the connector off and then wire the vehicle wiring to the controller's wiring. On the controller the blue wire is the brake output circuit which runs to the 7-way of the vehicle,...

• Recommended Wiring and Brake Controller for 2017 Sprinter 3500 Dually with 170 Inch Wheel Base
  
• The 2017 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 3500 dually 170 wheel base will require a few items to install a brake controller. I recommend the Tekonsha Prodigy P3 Trailer Brake Controller # 90195 for a brake controller that will give you the proportional braking to keep your trailer brake timing and intensity in line with your vehicle. To wire this, you will first need a 4-way connection. If you don't have one, I recommend the T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector #...

• 7-Way Trailer Connector for a 2017 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 2500
  
• In order to install a 7-way trailer connector on the rear of your 2017 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 2500 you will need to use the T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness part # 118649 with the Adapter 4-Pole to 7-Pole and 4-Pole part # 37185. Unfortunately, they do not make a wiring harness that splices into the taillights and give you a 7-way trailer connector therefore this will be your only option. If you will be towing a trailer with brakes then you will still need to use part # 118649 but instead...

• How to Carry Both a Bike Rack and Cargo Carrier on a 2017 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 3500
  
• There is a solution that will allow you to carry both a bike rack and cargo cargo on the rear of your 2017 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 3500 at the same time and for this you will need to use the Hollywood Racks Sport Rider SE2 Platform Bike Rack w/ Cargo Carrier part # HR1450Z-85 which is the only one of it's kind to my knowledge. The Sport Rider is one of my favorite bike racks because it is very well made and has add-ons you can purchase to make it compatible with practically any bike. It...

• Trailer Brake Controller Installation in 2017 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 2500
  
• There is no plug-and-play brake controller harness for the 2017 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 2500 so brake controller installation will be a hard-wire process. Under the driver's seat there should be a green plug. The wires to this plug can be tested with a circuit tester like # ALL640595 to confirm their function since vehicle wire colors are not always consistent. A brake controller like the Prodigy P2 # 90885 has 4 wires that require connection to the Sprinter. The black wire is...

• Recommended Trailer Hitch Between Curt 13358 And The Draw-Tite 75601 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 2500
  
• Both the Curt hitch # 13358 and Draw-Tite hitch # 75601 will fit your 2016 Mercedes Sprinter 2500 if you have the 170 inch wheel base and factory step bumper. Its almost a dead heat between the two, but I'm giving the edge to # 13358. The # 13358 has more positive reviews about this product and it is made is the USA. It also step-by-step install videos for you to watch on an earlier model of the Mercedes-Benz Sprinter. Both hitches are Class III hitches with 2 inch receivers and...

• Brake Controller Port Location on a 2017 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 2500
  
• According to my research, if your 2017 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 2500 came with a factory 7-way trailer connector then you will have the brake controller connector pre-wired. This pre-wired connector should be under the driver side seat which you can see in the attached photo. The connector is green with four pins inside. Once you locate this connector you can then install the Tekonsha Prodigy P3 Trailer Brake Controller part # 90195 using the Tekonsha Custom Wiring Adapter for Trailer...

• Windshield Cover Confirmed to Fit a 2017 Class C Winnebago View
  
• I confirmed with Adco that both windshield covers, # 290-2523 and # 290-2423 will fit your 2017 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter. The Deluxe # 290-2523 has the privacy screens so you can see out while others cannot see in. The standard cover without the privacy screens, # 290-2423, is made of the same material and is the same otherwise. Right now they're only available in white.

• Recommended 5.30-12 Tires With Load Rating Of D
  
• Moving up a higher load range will not only increase your load capacity, but will also increase the sidewall ply strength, so you will be less likely to have a blow out. I recommend the Kenda 5.30-12 Bias Trailer Tire with 12" White Wheel - 5 on 4-1/2 - Load Range D # AM30859 for your application or the galvanized wheel # AM30861. These combinations use the same tire which is rated for 1,250 lb capacity at 105 psi. You want to always run trailer tires at their max psi when inflated while...

• Choosing Between Ultra-Fab Skid Wheels UF48-979017 and UF48-979014
  
• If it were me I would go with Ultra-Fab Rotating, Hitch Mounted Skid Wheels for RVs up to 30' Long - 4" Diameter - Qty 2 Item # UF48-979014 because the wheels can swivel. On Ultra-Fab Hitch Mounted Steel Rollers for RVs w/ 2-1/2" Hitch Tubing - 3" Diameter - Qty 2 Item # UF48-979017 the wheels are fixed. Having wheels that can swivel means they are more effective if you are not traveling in a straight line!

• Recommended Trailer Hitch for a 2019 Mercedes Benz GLC300 SUV for Kuat Sherpa 2.0 Bike Rack
  
• Based on my research the changes to the 2019 model of Mercedes Benz GLC300 from the previous model years do not impact the frame and hitch fit. Although the manufacturers have yet to confirm a fit because they haven't yet tested that model year, the research shows it should fit without any issue. I recommend the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class III - 2" # C13290 because it will allow 1-1/2 inches more bumper clearance than the Draw-Tite # 76082. The Kuat Sherpa 2.0...

Removal of bumper fascia brackets required; fascia will be secured to hitch body. BlueTEC models - DEF tank shield will be removed and reattached after trimming.

• Which Hitch for 2017 Mercedes Benz GLC 300 is Most Hidden Curt or Draw Tite
  
• Height-wise the Draw Tite # 76082 and the Curt # C13290 are going to be right at the same dimension but where they differ more significantly is the how far each hitch is recessed under the bumper. The Curt will be recessed right at 1-1/2 inches more than the Draw Tite so I believe that makes it your better option. I attached a picture that shows what this hitch looks like installed on a similar GLC as yours for you to check out as well.

• For an Anti-Sway bar from Roadmaster that is a confirmed fit for your 2017 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 2500 you will need part # RM-1209-128. Keep in mind that this is an upgrade to a pre-existing OEM anti-sway bar so if none is present you will also need to install part # RM-1209-128.

• Connecting a Brake Controller Red Wire on a 2017 Mercedes Sprinter 2500
  
• Your 2017 Mercedes Sprinter 2500 may actually have brake controller port or wiring harness that you can use to install a brake controller. I have included a link to a video that may help. It is on a slightly older Sprinter but can be used as a guide. The 2006 to 2018 are part of the same generation. If the van has a third brake light (CHMSL: center high mount stop lamp) and it is the only thing on that fuse you could use it to attach to the red brake controller wire. The white ground...

• Yes, the Roadmaster Rollaway Skid Wheel part # RM-050 will fit the Curt hitch you have installed part # 13358. To determine where the roller will be relative to the hitch height you'd need to measure 3-1/4 inches down from the hitch pin hole.

• Recommended Trailer Hitch for 2017 Mercedes Sprinter 2500 With Factory Step Bumper
  
• For your 2017 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 2500 with a 170" wheelbase and factory step bumper I recommend Curt hitch # 13358. This hitch has a 2" receiver and is a complete bolt-on installation so no drilling in your Mercedes' frame is going to be required for installation; it is a Class III hitch with a 5,000 lb towing capacity and 500 lb tongue weight capacity. The only thing to keep in mind is that this hitch will not fit if your Sprinter has a 30-3/8" frame. I've linked an install video of...

• Using the Kuat Pivot on a 2017 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 2500 with a Step Bumper
  
• You will need to take a quick measurement to make sure that the Kuat Pivot, part # PV20B will clear your step bumper. Simply measure from the center of the hitch pin hole to the furthest point of the step bumper away from the hitch. This will give you your required clearance in order to be able to use the Kuat Pivot. The Kuat Pivot has a minimum clearance of 4-3/4 inches to its nearest part, and your minimum clearance will need to be less than this to be able to use the Kuat Pivot.

• Platform Bike Rarck Recommendation for Rear of Winnebago View 24G
  
• We have a few bike racks that are rated for use behind a motorhome like your Winnebago View 24G but the RockyMounts you mentioned is not one of them. Instead we have the Swagman Dispatch part # S64684 which is similar and is rated for RV use so it would be your best option. I attached a review video as well. This mounts in a hitch at the rear of the vehicle though so it should not interfere with a slide out.
