Recommended Trailer Hitch for 2017 Mercedes Sprinter 2500 With Factory Step Bumper
Question:
I have a 2017 Mercedes 170 4x4 with factory step, what trailer hitch would I be looking at?

Expert Reply:
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.
If you plan on towing and your trailer has electric brakes, use the Vehicle Wiring Harness w/ Brake Controller Adapter - 7 Way # TK22115 with the Prodigy P3 Brake Controller # 90195.
