The hitch was a breeze to install, it took about an hour taking my time. The electronic box took a little longer, but was easy as well. Since it's been on the Sprinter we've pulled a utility trailer (6x12) with gate and full sides. The hitch and relay box have worked flawlessly. I highly recommend the hitch, relay box and etrailer.

Everything is still working as it should. The hitch has not rusted out as predicted by a Mercedes snob on the Sprinter Forum. So glad I saved the money and went with your product.
by: Randolph 03/22/2024
Hitch was just fine, but I wish it had a place to mount the trailer plugs. It was very confusing on ordering the bolts. At the time I ordered it the new year model was not on the web site yet, but hitch placement did not change. I would have paid extra to have the bolts and away to mount the trailer plug.
by: Richard 06/09/2024
The hitch was well packaged. The welds on the hitch were smooth and precise. The service and shipping were expertly expedited. I’m very impressed.
by: Matt F07/23/2017
Ordered it on Sunday and it arrived on Thursday. Build quality and finish look good. My only real disappointment is the hit wasn't packaged well for transportation (basically a large plastic bag wrapped and taped around the hitch) so it arrived with damage to the paint in a few areas. I touched it up with black spray paint before installation.
Installation was very easy. The bolts that held my rear step in place were already oriented correctly so I didn't have to remove them and reinsert from the opposite side. There was some overspray/over applications of the vehicle undercoating onto the mounting surface, but it was easily removed with a putty knife. I didn't have a second set of hands to help so I used a set of jack stands to support the main cross member of the hitch and simply pivoted it into place, sliding a bolt in on each side to keep in there before sliding under the van to install and torque the rest. 30 minutes start to finish.
Nice looking hitch. If it weren't for the shipping damage from the poor packing job I would have given it 5 stars.
by: Robert04/24/2023
Just installed today and seems very well constructed. Online instructions were helpful. Hangs a little lower than I anticipated. Needed to add trailer connector bracket.
by: Tom01/09/2021
I have had great products com from etrailers over the years! But this [hitch] from Curt is as bad of an example of American Workmanship I’ve ever seen! The welds are absolutely awful, I’ve been welding 35 years and 20 of that in robotics. I know Curt industries and would think they could produce better.

Hitch fit perfect, unfortunate had to modify aftermarket step bumper to make it work. Assume would not have to do with factory bumper

I have bought several trailer hitch receivers for different vehicles, they have all been excellent, no problems.
by: James08/14/2023
It did fit however it was tight around the muffler. Could be because I have a gas powered Mercedes Sprinter Van rather than diesel.

2020 Mercedes-BenzSprinter 2500
Simple installation. Perfect fit for a 2020 Sprinter 2500 4x4 diesel. No interference from exhaust tailpipe. Requires 18mm socket ans wrench. Needed a 1/2 drive breaker bar w/ 18mm deep socket to loosen the bumper M12 bolts.

Super quick and easy to order. Fast delivery.
Easy, easy install. Took me as long to take the plastic off the hitch as it did to install it. 30 mins and done. Great video!
Thank you!!

Hitch is as described. Fits perfectly under the factory step. Very easy installation, if you follow directions it's almost effortless.
by: Paul 05/15/2023
ETrailer was very easy to deal with. The purchase went smoothly online and once completed I received updates when its status changed until delivery. It even arrived on my doorstep in Alaska sooner than anyone local could promise. The receiver bolted right up to my van as I would expect a Curt product to.

It came with the wrong hardware.

It is rare to happen however it does happen from time to time. I do see that we have shipped the correct hardware out to you. A quick way to check to make sure that the hardware is correct is to check the manual part number against the hitch part number.
by: John04/08/2023
The hitch is good quality but it's shipped in plastic. My plastic came torn and my brand new hitch arrived scratched and missing paint.

Oh my goodness! I am sorry that it arrived that way. Customer Service will be in touch.

2010 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter
Fit perfectly on my 2010 sprinter and the instructions were very helpful.
by: Lucas01/24/2023
The hitch kit is great, super easy to install and is actually a lot sturdier than it looks in the picture. Hitch was missing a few tiny paint chips from the shipping method.
Side note, if you plan on removing your rear step make sure to order the plastic trim piece to replace it. It wasn’t until I started the install that I noticed the plastic trim for the step and the top lip of the “bumper” is all one piece.

- Trailer Hitch and Wiring Recommendation for 2017 Mercedes Sprinter 3500For your 2017 Mercedes Benz Sprinter 3500 with a 170 inch wheelbase and a step bumper we have the Curt Class III hitch part # 13358 which is a confirmed fit and would work well. I recommend this hitch because it's made in the USA, has great towing capacities and will install easily. For trailer wiring you'd then want the T-One kit part # 118649 which is a confirmed fit and our most reliable option.
view full answer... - Recommended Hitch For A 2019 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 2500 Passenger VanThe hitches we have available for your 2019 Mercedes Sprinter 2500 Passenger Van with the rear step are pretty limited. Unfortunately, the Curt # 13358 will not fit, but the Draw-Tite # 75601 may. However, this also will not fit models with 30-3/8" wide frame when measured outside to outside. I wasn't able to tell if all the passenger van models have this frame measurement or not, so you will need to double check.

If you have the factory step bumper I recommend the Curt # 13358, if you have the standard bumper then I recommend the Curt # C13388, and if you don't have the factory step bumper then I recommend the Draw-Tite # 75549. Please note that none of these will fit if you have a 30-3/8" frame measured from the outside to outside of your frame. The installation details...

These hitches are virtually identical in capacity and design with only notable difference being that the Curt is made in the USA.
view full answer... - Recommended Trailer Hitch for a 2016 Mercedes Sprinter 3500As you are looking for a 5,000 pound hitch for your 2016 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 3500, I suggest going with the Curt # 13358. This will have the capacity needed as well as fit your vehicle properly as well. I included an install video we did on this as well.
view full answer... - Will Roadmaster Skid Wheel # RM-050 Prevent Scraping When Carrying Bike RackYes, 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. Comparing that dimension to your current setup will allow you to know if you'd have enough clearance.

It will work with the factory exhaust without interference. I have attached a photo that shows how the hitch mounts up with the exhaust. I have attached the install instructions below which is for models with the factory exhaust.

- Distance Between Brackets of Curt Hitch 13358 for 2018 Mercedes Sprinter 3500I can go ahead and give you the measurement between the bolt holes for the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # 13358. As you can see by the accompanying diagram, this hitch measures 39-1/2 inches between the brackets from inside to inside, and you can use that to determine if it will fit along with the ramp on your 2018 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 3500. I have added a link below to the installation instructions for you to check out as well of the Curt Hitch # 13358.

- Why Does Curt Hitch 13358 Fit 2011 Mercedes Sprinter Passenger VanIt's an exhaust placement issue that prevents the Curt hitch part # 13358 from fitting the passenger van versions of the 2011 Mercedes Benz Sprinter 2500. That's why you'd need the Draw Tite # 75549.
view full answer... - Are the Hitches for a 2007 Dodge Sprinter with Standard and Step Bumper the SameThe trailer hitch options for a 2007 Dodge Sprinter are different for models with the factory step bumper and models with the standard bumper. The two are not interchangeable so if you have the factory step bumper then you'll need the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver part # 13358 or if you have the standard bumper then you'll need the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver part # C13388.

I measured the receiver in our shop and it 33-1/2" wide between the frame rail mounting points. We do also have the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # 13358 that mounts to the outside of the frame. While Curt has not been able to confirm that this will fit on an XD version of the Sprinter 3500 you can check your frame outside width to see if it has the same width. This receiver...

- Is Curt Hitch 13358 Going to Be Too Recessed When Installed on 2019 Mercedes Sprinter 2500The Curt hitch part # 13358 is recessed under the step bumper like you can see in the attached picture but it's not recessed to the point it wouldn't work well. It wouldn't interfere with the camera setup either.

To determine if your spare carrier will fit past the bumper when this hitch is installed you'd need to take one measurement. You'll need to measure from the hitch pin hole out to the nearest upright portion of the carrier. If that distance is greater than 6-1/2 inches it will fit in this hitch and clear the rear bumper.
view full answer... - Exhaust Making Contact with Trailer Hitch on a 2016 Mercedes Sprinter 2500You will not need to cut the exhaust tip on your 2016 Mercedes Sprinter 2500. There are some ways that you can adjust the exhaust to correct the issue so there is clearance between it and the hitch. I have included a link to our help article that covers this topic. The fix could as easy as bending an exhaust hanger a little or, worse case scenario, a muffler shop could make adjustments. But cutting the exhaust is not something that you would have to do.

I can't make a recommendation for a trailer hitch without this info as it's ultimately what decides fit. I can however attach a list of options below which you can choose from once you do have the above info. The most popular option is the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver part # 13358 which fits...

This particular unit is designed only for the 2010-2011 Mercedes Sprinter 3500 cab and chassis with a 170 wheelbase. It will not line up with the frame rails on your vehicle.

This kit was easy to install and has served reliably for the full year. No complaints, if I needed a new hitch this would be my choice.
